James Potter never lived in a world without Lily. She was born first and died second.

martha is too good, please help me protect her

What she says: I'm fine.

What she means: In Deaf West's Spring Awakening, when Moritz doesn't walk Ilse home, she says "You know, by the time you finally wake up, I'll be lying on some trash heap". And because in this revival Moritz is deaf and doesn't hear her say that which adds a whole other level of sadness as when he calls for her after, it wasn't him just feeling bad after her remark,rather him just wanting to be with her and him realizing that he should have taken that chance to be happy.

The largest mass shooting in American history was a hate crime against gay people. Don’t ever forget that.

Kink #3837483: someone who will still love me and stick around after discovering the shittiest sides of my mental illness

How long have you played guitar? Could you give us some advice :) I would like to audition for Voice of Moritz for the tour but I've never played guitar

I’ve been playing for 13 years.

Honestly, if you want to audition for Voice of Moritz, you need to start playing guitar immediately. At the risk of being blunt, it would pretty difficult to get to the skill level required by the time auditions rolled around. (And before anyone asks, I have absolutely NO clue when that would be.)

It’s a broadway score, and you need to play perfectly. I played three different guitars (6 string acoustic, 12 string acoustic, electric 6 string), and almost every song in the show. So you’d also need to learn three dramatically different styles of playing.

That, on its own, is a huge amount of work. Combine that with acting, speaking, and singing Moritz at the same time, while coordinating with another actor, and it’s a pretty challenging task.

That said, nothing is impossible. If you want something, go after it. PRACTICE. Practice HARD. Get a guitar. Get a book that teaches you how to read music.
