Well then

I've closed my tabs and logged out of tumblr for what I suppose will be the last time.

I spent a decade on that site. It was my news, my social life, and my fandom hub.

Probably, I gave more of myself to it than I should have, really. But in return, I got so many things that I can't imagine finding anywhere else.

I don't know what I feel.

But, it is the dawn of a new day.


(The joke: it's the middle of the night in my time zone)

PM is up to you! As Zeno just said it was okay, I'm happy either way. :3

I really, really, highly recommend giving the OST a listen, and then, if you like it, checking out stuff about the Off Broadway version. They'll be On-Broadway soon, and... man, even though I prefer the vocals (and a lot of the cast) of the OST, they've improved everything about the show in so many wonderful ways.

This is my first time really caring about a musical--like, to the extent I am, anyway. I liked some movie versions of stuff like Chicago, I really REALLY like the Hamilton soundtrack, Heathers and Dear Evan Hansen is AWESOME, etc, but. I've never truly cared about a musical enough to keep up with the behind-the-scenes and the actual fandom like I am now.

So this is all just so new and exciting for me, haha.

I've been a musical person since basically ever because I had the sheer dumb luck to have the combination of 1) living close enough to NYC that it's an easy day trip and 2) having a grandmother who allocates basically her Entire 'fun' budget to going to shows and taking people to shows, and who 3) is a goddamn master of TKTS, which is Broadway's "we'll sell the seats that didn't get sold for today at 30-50% off just to fill those extra seats" thing.

Of course, that also means I'm usually years late to the big name shows, because those never have open seats on the discount lines until they hit the Phantom of the Opera/Les Miserables/The Producers point where they've been running for years.

Also means I tend to get blindsided by fandoms popping up. I'm still confused over why Newsies got a sudden popularity boost 1-2 years ago.
