  • @BlazeDupree1525

    As a Percy Jackson fan the musical is pretty good adaptation wise. The characters all feel like the book characters and it really show cases the mental struggles they all have. Luke feeling betrayed by the gods, Percy feeling like he is never good enough and lonely because no matter what he does every one trys to push him away, Annabeth wanting to make her mom proud and be recognized for her own skills and talents, Grover's guilt for what happened to Thalia. The musical could have easily become really dark but they managed to save it with funny one liners and inside jokes to the books that lighten the mood and keep the elements that made the book so good.

    To me, Be More Chill is better than Dear Evan Hansen because the songs actually capture what it's like to be the weird outcast kid. Not a cute guy with an angelic voice singing about how he's shy or whatever; you actually hear and feel the experience of being awkward and outcasted through the opening number and especially "Michael in the Bathroom".
    Basically Dear Evan Hansen seems like it was written for the pretty kids who saw themselves as weird. Be More Chill was written for the kids who actually WERE weird, autistic, and offputting; and thats why it resonates with us.

    Would love to see where they'd place the Death Note musical, even though it never came here to America it was planned to, and due to that, we DID get a full, official English version of the soundtrack before the project was canned.
    And all of the songs are bangers and just fit really well with the story and the characters. My personal favorites being "The Way It Ends" "Where's The Justice" "The Game Begins"...really all of the ones that hit the major story beats. Also I don't remember what it's called because it's been awhile since I listened to the soundtrack but the song that Light's dad sings is just heartbreaking in the BEST way cause he REALLY believes his son is innocent 💀
    Edit: the soundtrack is super easy to find here on CZcams, if anyone was curious.

    The fact Cats got knocked down for the mere existence of the 2019 film hurts lmao, I think any Cats fan can say that that thing should not be associated with the original musical in any form.
    Movie aside it's definetly a hit or miss for many people. Either you love it, or are put off by it too much. It very much is something you have to suspend your belief for, and is a musical more about the experience than the story. I've adored the musical since childhood, so nostalgia is definetly a factor for me personally (alongside my mother and grandma).
    We got to see the musical in 2019 for my birthday in a rare oppertunity where the new west end cast was touring around, and it's just pure, unbridled fun. It's not a musical you watch for the plot, but a musical you watch to be wowed by it's choreography and silly songs. It's not one to take too seriously. :)

      I love Cats because of the fun songs, incredible dancing, and its sense of whimsy, but the characters are what make it so endearing to me. Because the plot is very simple (and for all the people who say there's no plot, there is a plot, Munkustrap literally explains it in "Invitation to the Jellicle Ball"), the focus is on the personalities of the characters and seeing their relationships with each other. The reason it gets better every time I watch it is because I notice more details in the performances of the actors that tell me more about their respective cats. I've come to love all of them but especially Munkustrap and Jemima, and I always get so excited whenever I see them.

That song is just so cool and sinister! But that said it’s a slow burn musical you have to rewatch to see the true appeal of. And honestly that comes for a lot of starkid musicals.

    Be More Chill is hands down my favorite musical. I discovered it early in high school and despite being written by adults it felt refreshingly realistic. I adore Michael’s character and most of the songs (minus “Do you want a ride” ) are some of my all-time favorites that I still listen to today. Next on my list would be Fiddler on the Roof and then Wicked.
