Peak humor this ๐๐ป
alternative take: Pamina and Papageno in that scene where they sneak out of the castle with Papageno going "hush hush hushhhhh"
monostatos and the queen of the night heading to the sun temple
#it's funny because when people are guessing where I'm from depending on my accent it's like. Two options.
#you must be from the south! Was told to me excitedly by an exchange student from Brooklyn
#are you from the west? Tentatively asked by a few other American exchange students
#I have also been told that I have an Italian accent though the only Italian I know is how to perform Il e bello com' el sol from NDDP ๐
#rip European lyrics. We will honour you in our hearts
Europeans translating American musicals: So we worked closely with the original composer to make sure our translation is as faithful as possible while remaining a singable rhyming translation. If a literal translation is not possible, we use a localized replacement that works in the target language. Please donโt hate us, we tried our best!!!
Literally anyone translating European musicals: *splotches lyrics on a plate like spaghetti, spits in it, and shoves it in your general direction* Hereโs your stupid Eurotrash pop slop in English, happy now???? Also, we turned your corny-ass fauxpera into a comedy and replaced half the score with useless reprises. As is PROPER.
So, I boought 2 tickets to Mark Seibert's solo concert, but, sadly, turns out I can't go, because I have an audition the same weekend. If anyone would like them, they're here:

#what about giving Tod a sword instead of a fishing rod/whip like in the Hungarian production

#I don't know any writers I can tag, but
#I myself am an (unpublished) writer and
#lemme just say, the way an author describes playfighting/sparring says a lot about him and whether he ever held a stick in his hand pretending it was a sword
#like when you're being tackled to the floor (even by someone you like) that is NOT the moment you notice how beautiful his eyes are. That is the moment you think CRAP I AM FALLING followed by thoughts of OW
#and don't get me started on non-musicians writing about musicians
#am a musician myself. Very few people can describe correctly what it feels to be one ๐
