Zac Efron // The Greatest Beer Run Ever (2022) Let’s Just Say, I’m Here To Deliver Beer To A Friend.

East High is a place where teachers encouraged us to break the status quo. And define ourselves as we choose. Where a jock can cook up a mean crème brûlée. And the brainiac can break down on the dance floor. It’s the place where one person… if it’s the right person… changes us all. East High is having friends that we’ll keep for the rest of our lives. And I guess that means we really are all in this together. Because once a Wildcat… always a Wildcat.

deaf west american idiot!

(will be talking about some staging here.. so spoilers? tw for drug mention)

i saw deaf west american idiot last night and i truly cannot explain to you all how simply amazing and incredible that production is and how they worked with the characters, staging, choreography and lighting…. the relationship the characters have not just with themselves but the people around them… it was truly gut wrenching. seeing that show in the time we’re in right now, and recognizing that this show is so relevant even today..

one thing i love about deaf west is the incorporation of certain characters (who are deaf) having another person resemble that characters voice/inner subconscious/etc and this production works so so beautifully with that. this production is done with so much grace, and it truly grabs your attention from the beginning. you really feel for each and every one of these characters, and they make you feel it. it hits you in the heart.

the show opens with political figures making speeches, excerpts from the news, and more. during are we the waiting, when tunny (a deaf character) decides to join the military, they conduct a hearing test on him before asking him to leave - and yet he gets to join regardless. throughout the show after johnny does drugs for this first time, st. jimmy starts to speak and sign for him during certain parts, where his addiction starts to take over. during know your enemy, johnny runs away from whatsername - who’s trying to stop him from doing drugs - to get some, while his voice and st. jimmy cheer him on and try to get her away from him. when johnny is high or he really starts to get to a bad point, johnny’s voice signs for johnny in certain parts, turning against him in a way. johnny feels like everyone - even himself - is against him and he has nobody. not even himself.

regardless of this, during letterbomb, spiderwebs are used to trap johnny and st. jimmy, and st. jimmy ends up leaving him in the spiderweb while johnny’s voice comes and helps him out - resembling johnny realizing he needs to get sober. all of the voices of johnny, will, and tunny hang out with them more than any other character does. they only have themselves. johnny and his voice run around together. johnny’s voice films johnny making a speech. will and his voice smoke together and as will is telling us about how he feels at a bad point of his life while just sitting down with a blank stare - his voice is curled up on the touch next to him gripping his hair. while tunny gets shot in the leg, his voice is watching him helplessly… tunny feels helpless and alone in that situation. later, tunny’s voice helps hold tunny up as he limps. during the end of homecoming, the voices hug each other and the non-voice characters and other characters. everyone’s coming together and embracing themselves and there is an optimistic future ahead of everybody.

this show is so beautiful and i cannot process how much i love it and how much it hurt. i hope so much for a broadway transfer - or a transfer to a bigger theater - so that so many people can see it. it is so beautiful and so beautifully well done.

Wake me up when September ends.

Fire, Talk to Me -- School Spirits (s02e08)

Back on my hsm costumes appreciation bullshit: such a contrast actually between Ryan's outfits before I Don't Dance and after. Through the first movie and at least school segment of the second he has this shirt fully buttoned up, sleeves are never rolled, there's a visible t-shirt underneath. Huge contrast to Wildcats who're always relaxed and slightly sloppy.

Then Ryan is at Lava Springs where he's practically at home and his outfits a bit more summer appropriate and light, but for the dinner sequences when his parents around and there's also important guests he's looking again a bit more like he's hidding behind layers.

And then in I Don't Dance he literally wears all white like a blank canvas after a bit of reassessment of life values is happening for him. But the second half of the hsm2 and whole hsm3 feels like he's taking more risks style wise. Colors are bolder, there's more unbuttoned collar and yet again I'm never gonna be over his knee-high leather boots. And not only he's mentally better and able to standing up for himself against Sharpay, but he's also way more comfortable in his skin.

So to sum up all the above I Don't Dance feels not only extremely coming out codded, but also feels like a losing virginity metaphor.
