Be More Chill opinions Act 2

Aight, this is gonna be another long one. First up, thank you so much for 3 followers! I'm feeling so loved right now ❤️ Alright, here goes another massive yap... If you're not down for it, scroll away now...

Halloween: It's fun! I love everyone's silly costumes, even though I kinda would have liked to have seen Rich's weed costume from the book... Also Jake's prince/Prince mess up is pretty funny. Also Brooke makes an adorable poodle (not in a furry way I swear) and this further cements that I love Brooke and Jerberry. Also the SQUIP dancing, 10/10. I'm not super keen on the extended ending in the Broadway version

Do You Wanna Hang?: Ew. I don't even wanna think about it. If you ship More Than Hang don't talk to me.

It kinda annoys me that in the Broadway version they don't let Michael be angry in the bathroom scene, like Jeremy hasn't talked to him for weeks, it's perfectly reasonable to be kinda mad! But tbh Michael getting 'softened' is kinda a problem throughout the whole Broadway production. Still love him though.

Michael In The Bathroom: It's awesome, you know it's awesome, just... ughhhhhh. There's not much to say that hasn't already been said. George Salazar please marry me (only joking). Not really any strong preference between Two River and Broadway, the slayness is too much in both to try to criticise either. Oh also the I wanna dance with somebody bit is amazing :)

The Smartphone Hour (Rich Set A Fire): This song has no need to exist, yet alone be 6 minutes long, but I'm so glad it does. It's just so fun. The dance is so fun, and I have to do it every time, and you know by now I live for goofy costumes and this scene certainly delivers. The boys dressed as girls is 10/10, and they all slay in their drag :) I love how two of the guys come down from the ceiling on massive sparkly iPhones, truly iconic. The Broadway version is slightly better for me because Tiffany Mann is an absolutely powerhouse, but I love Katie Ladner too. Overall top tier scene 😍

I know the order of Pants Song and Pitiful Children is different in Two River and Broadway but at the time of writing I am listening to the Broadway album so I'm putting Pants Song first

The Pants Song: This song and scene is completely whack but I love it! Yes, you go king, wear those pants! I love how he's like, aight, time to become Superdad! It's so fun and an iconic moment. Also 'Do you love him?' '[very stoned voice] Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?' amazing. Also I love how they have the MITB instrumental in the 'I already tried to help him, and he called me a loser!' bit. Also I just love this whole scene. 10/10. Also in the Tiny Desk concert Tiffany has some awesome vocals in the middle bit, although tbh that whole video is awesome. I should have mentioned in the Act 1 post that Lauren Marcus does an awesome cover of A Guy That I'd Kinda Be Into and also Jerberry woo :)

The Pitiful Children: Okay, this is the first song I really have strong opinions about Two River vs Broadway. Firstly, I way prefer the lyrics in the Two River version, cos on Broadway it sounds like squip Christine and squip everyone else to make Christine happy, like that doesn't make any sense to me. Also the costumes for the squipped people in Two River are awesome and intimidating while on Broadway they're just weird. Also in Two River they reprise the dance from The Squip Song which is really cool. However, one thing Broadway has going for it is Tiffany's awesome vocals, like slay queen. Add Tiffany Mann to my list of theatre crushes lol. I might make an actual post of that soon lol. :) Anyway back to the point, Pitiful Children is awesome but better in Two River.

The Play: I don't super love either version that much, but both have their moments. Firstly, MICHAEL MAKES AN ENTRAAAAAAANCE!!! Yaaaaaaaaas! My boy Michael, you're not in the bathroom no more! (Credit to some YouTuber I stole that line off, can't remember who, sorry) Oh yeah, going off topic again but I finished the BMC soundtrack and now I'm listening to Little Shop Of Horrors and I remembered George Salazar was in Little Shop at some point and he slaaaaayed. Anyway, it's pretty fun how they reprise some of the earlier songs, even if the reprise of Two Player Game when Jeremy and Michael are fighting kinda kills me. Oh also 'I'm living the upgraaaaaade!' is awesome! One thing that I like better in the Two River is the delay before 'Drink this.' cos it gives it some tension, y'know.

The hospital bit is amazing and hilarious, and while I don't really ship Expensive Headphones the 'is he single' bit is amazing. Also I too identify as Anti-social Headphones Kid. Also yay pants! Also, 'Oh I was fully prepared to watch you suffer,' damn dude.

Voices In My Head: Awesome! I like the Broadway a bit better but I'm not totally sure why. Also 'Of the voices in my head, the loudest one is mine!' is a mood for questionable mental health squad. It doesn't totally make sense that everyone is suddenly friends and totally chill with the chaos that has been happening, but it makes for a nice ending I guess. It's cute that at the end everyone is having fun and happy.

So yeah, that's it, so in conclusion I really love BMC and basically all the cast and characters and most of the songs wooooooo:D
