Soooo
....
The outsiders musical, huh?
GO, GO NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO RANT!!!
OHHHHHHH MY GOD I LOOOOVE YOU ANON I LOVE YOU
RANT INCOMING
Dude I listened to it maybe a year ago and just. WOAUGH. I'm seeing it in a few months and I'm BEYOND excited. Nearly everything about that musical is top tier for me. The beautiful voices... the characterization...
ESPECIALLY love the highlight on Pony and Johnny's relationship. cause like. wow. they really were something. :) Their duets are some of my favorites amongst the soundtrack, the lyrics and their voices work sooo well together.
Also LOVELOVELOVE the focus on Darry's struggles too, and a greater focus on Dally's relationship with Johnny :') make me hurt make me cry...
I LOVE all the casting (Pony, Johnny, Cherri, Dally, Darry, Soda, okay actually I'm just listing all the characters... whoops...) the choreography, the set, the costuming, the EVERYTHINGGG If the cast changes before I get to see them live I will be so normal (depression.)
I think that there are some things that I wish were translated into song instead of done in spoken scenes in between, and some characters should've gotten more of a highlight imo (entirely thought that they tossed Steve out the window when I first listened to it & also who the actual heck is Ace...), but I haven't seen the musical live yet so!!
And I think that where as most of the lyrics hit for me, there are a few times when I think there could be a little better lyricism. Small things like in Justice for Tulsa when Cherry goes "Could this have gone a different way, I can't believe I'm standing here today" feel a bit too simple? But I digress. The lyrics work when they need to, and my god they hit hard.
They hit the overall mood SOOOO good the instrumentation punches me in the face x 3000 every time I listen to the soundtrack, and man some of these tracks have for real become comfort songs.
I love the book so much, I read it at the time in my life that I needed to, it reminds me of the teacher who introduced me to it who since passed, and I'm happy with how they adapted the musical.
TLDR; I love the musical very much.
Could get into hour long conversations about it haha
Anon, have you listened to it? I recommend you do if you've read the book, it's a little bit hard to pick up on its own!
This is Rafah, The "safe" zone, where 1.5 million Palestinian fled to. You have to understand, what bombing Rafah means.
Please don't look away, while everybody is busy watching the super bowl, Israel commits one of its most deadly and openly genocidal attacks on Rafah. Please don't look away.
verified family in need!!
Hello, my name is Hamza Al-Absi, a 32-year-old from Gaza.
I am a husband and a father of three children. Well, there were three, but I lost my eldest son, Osama, two years ago to leukemia (blood cancer). He deserved treatment for a year and a half, took his chemotherapy, fought the disease, and had a recovery period, but the disease returned, he had a strong relapse, and passed away. I couldn’t treat him again due to the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip, which even affected patients with urgent, serious conditions. They refused to treat him, and he died in the hands of his mother and beside his younger brother, Saif. My son could have been treated, but when his turn came to get the treatment, it was too late.
I cannot express the pain of losing an eldest son, and my wife still cries for him every day. It’s a continuous pain that never leaves us.
Since the beginning of the war, we have heard news of children being killed and seriously injured by the insane and savage bombing with rockets and shells, which has not stopped since the war began until today. But thank God, my wife and I and our dear children, “Saif, 3 years old,” and “Rita, one year old,” are still alive.
We were forced to evacuate our home at the beginning of the war against our will due to the intense bombing that our area was subjected to and the orders to evacuate the area and head to southern Gaza. Our house was bombed with war shells, leading to its destruction.
Our journey of displacement began, moving several times from one area to another, until we ended up in a tent in the “Tel al-Sultan” area in the city of “Rafah.” You can imagine how difficult life is in a tent. Everything is done with great difficulty; we are forced to use primitive methods to carry out daily tasks. Every day we light a fire to prepare food, and we struggle to provide water for drinking or bathing. Going to the bathroom is a suffering in itself for adults before children, in the absence of toilets suitable for human use.
The situation worsens with the arrival of summer and the rise in temperatures; the tent literally turns into a “sauna” during the day, especially since my little daughter Rita has started walking on the sand and suffers from pollution diseases, influenza, and other serious diseases that lead to hepatitis.
On top of all that, I lost my job at the beginning of the war and became unemployed due to the total power outage and the lack of internet connection most of the time. I face severe difficulty in providing for my family’s needs amid the crazy price hikes.
We have suffered enough and have been exposed to a lot of fear and panic in the past 7 months. The city of “Rafah” is now threatened with a ground invasion at any moment by the occupation, so I decided to travel and leave Gaza to save the lives of my wife and children.
Time is running out, and we need $15,000 to enable my wife and children to leave Gaza to Egypt via the Rafah land crossing as soon as possible, in addition to the costs of staying in Egypt for 6 months, estimated at ($6,000).
Asking for help is not easy at all, but we believe there is still good in this world. So, I hope you will help us save ourselves from killing and destruction and restore hope to our lives again. I have tasted the bitterness of loss once, and I do not want to taste it again.
We are grateful to everyone who will donate to us, and we appreciate your feelings and support for us.
