March Of The Falsettos - Blog Posts

A post in one of the falsettos communities has made me think about what month all of the characters were born so here that is

Marvin: January

Whizzer: June

Jason: November

Mendel: September (maybe also November)

Trina: March (hehe reference)

Charlotte: July

Cordelia: May

Caroline: February

These are objectively correct but I'm willing to hear other people's theories

This is crazy and only 26 notes is wild

Now seems like a good time to do this

First of all, rip to William Finn, that legend is missed

But I wanted to introduce y'all to my

Falsettos binder

An entirely hand written book of all the (dialogue? Lyrics?) of the entire musical.

Based on the revival 'cause that one's my favorite.

We got: in depth analysis of every bit of significance in nearly every line. Dumb thoughts of mine. And memes.

[I'm not exaggerating when I said I went through eight packs of sticky notes]

The point

A probably incorrect timeline based on a few dates and hella real world assumptions

Pencil/colored pencil drawings featuring every character's musical assigned colors and me-assigned chess pieces

Depressing watercolor paintings

A cobbled together study on the chess pieces used in "the chess game" cause they look so strange and are never used again

An extensive study on the cube which I used to build the whole thing functionally in the real world

What I call ✨ notes on a scene✨

Which is commentary and observations of every bootleg production I've seen.

There's also an In Trouser analysis in here somewhere, but alas, I have reached the image limit.

Perhaps you can tell I'm just slightly feral for this musical and had a bit too much free time a couple months back.

No fr cuz there's like two and I don't like the voices of the creator of either

„oh, how are you felix?“

me: definitely not crying at the lack of falsettos video essays because the marvin trilogy is such a wonderful collection of cleverly crafted musicals, and my one and only desire is to become at least somewhat like howard ho and hamilton but for tmt

also me „yeah no im good!“

I have many thoughts on Trina from Falsettos with most of them being sad for her

In ‘In Trousers’, it says that Marvin and Trina had two kids, but then, in ‘March of the Falsettos’, there was only Jason. Did Jason kill the other kid or something????

i think all of tumblr should see the shirt my friend gave me

I hated his tie with a passion

The true villain of Falsettos was Marvin’s ugly ass square tie

WHAT HAPPY MAY 27TH FOR MY PARENTS TRINA AND MENDEL I ALWAYS FORGET

Forgot about thanksgiving day but i gonna treat myself by watching falsettos side by side video after school <33

this is so random but you could name yourself "Whizzer" in your class's kahoot game so that if you win, you now have the legal right to scream "Whizzer wins" at the top of your lungs ;)

I never wanted ''til death do we two part'

alright hear me out but Stephanie J. Blocks as Bea Bottom and Betsy Wolfe as Portia from something rotten

wait what's the controversy with falsettos ao3 and this fandom in other platforms??

just revisited my old obsession and i noticed in unlikely lovers, Cordelia said "i love the trees" while Charlotte said "i love the earth beneath my feet". The earth, or the soil will help the trees grow well, nourish and help the trees stand still. I just think that's very cute of them :)

Happy may 27th to everyone and to trina and mendel omg i literally forgot :_)

What is your opinion on this man?

ok so i know i haven't watched anything in the Marvin trilogy except falsettos and don't really post anything relate to it for a long time but omg Chip Zien is SO CHAOTIC in the 1993 bootleg, like dude what does he do to have that energy i need to know. I also know that he was in into the woods but i haven't watched it yet so i think that's all

soooo it has been a long time but happy may 27th!

Michael Rupert said the hint for Marvin's profession was in the short video he posted on instagram (you guys all know this) and i guess the hint was this lyric: "i love bad weather"... so meteorologists like bad weather?

me: hmmm i need some background music to complete the presentation for tomorrow's class.

also me: *play the falsettos soundtrack* perfect.

*during a marriage proposal*

Mendel: back in biblical times...

Trina: biblical times?

Marvin: Biblical times!

OMGGG JASON'S FACE WHEN HIS PARENTS SAY "what do you mean you don't want a bar mitzvah?" IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE AHHHHHHHHHHH

Some memes i made about musical theatre songs i've been obsessed with lately.

"WHOA WHOAA WHOOA HONEY WHATCHA WAITIN' FORRR? WELCOME TO MY cANDY stOREEEEE!-"

"i need it hard i'm a dead girl walking i'm in your yard i'm a dead girl walking before they punch my clock i'm snappin' off your window lock got no time to knock i'm a dead girl walking-"

me:

"Here he comes! Fix his tie. Trina, Try to make him smile more! Don't know why, but he looks like Marvin! How did you turn out so great?Who do I thank for the man you turned into? Kid, do you know how proud I am? If I dont show how proud I am, you hold my dreams, kid i burst at the seams 'cause of you! Son of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob son of Marvin son of Trina son of Whizzer son of Mendel AND GODCHILD TO THE LESBIANS FROM NEXT DOORRRRRRR Sing, oh sing, oh sing!-"

"That's it that's the ball game i don't smoke don't do drugs and then comes the bad news i quit that's the ball game it's the chink in the armor the shit in the karma the blues-"

"IM NEUROTIC HES NEUROTIC THEYRE NEUROTIC WERE NEUROTIC BITCHBITCHBITCHBITCH FUNNYFUNNYFUNNYFUNNY IM NAUSEOUS IM NAUSEOUS IM SIMPLE IM JEWISH SLAVERY SLAVERY BITCHBITCHBITCHBTICH FUNNYFUNNYFUNNYFUNNY-"

also me:

Why Christian Borle's "right" from days like this on the cast recording album is sooooooooooooooooooooo freaking soft? ? ITS SO CUTE AHHHHHHH-

If i ever die, pls play you gotta die sometimes on loop at my funeral. Thanks y'all.

It's so hard for me to get through biology classes without my inner self screaming: HIS NAME IS MENDEL AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

my brain: HEY! What are u doing?

me: I just prepare for the mid-semester exams!

my brain: REALLY? How cute! WERESITTINGANDWATCHINGJASONPLAYBASEBALL WEREWATCHINGJASONPLAYBASEBALL WEREWATCHING JEWISH BOY WHOCANNOTPLAYBASEBALLPLAYBASEBALL WE HAVE SOME BIG FUN BIG FUN WOAHHH WOAHHH OHHHHOHHHH HONEY WHATCHAWAITING FO-SHUTUPHEATHER! STEP INTO MY CANDY STOooOoOOOoOrrre WOAHHHHHHHH OMIGODOMIGOD YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE ELLE GONNA WIN THE PRIZE MY NAME IS KAREN I MAY NOT BE SMAAAAAAAAAARRTTTT that's it.

me: WTF

i randomly send a screenshot of a scene from "day like this" (obc Falsettos version) to my non theater kid friends

me: AWWW! They are so adorable!

bestie 1: What's that?

bestie 2: He's going to die.

me: WHAT

bestie 2: He is going to die soon!

me: FRICKING STOP IT!

wait i just realized the the small thing on stage during four jews in a room bitching from obc Falsettos was a small bed.

So if Jason was 12 and a half at the beginning of act 2 and he was 13 when the bar mitzvah happened at the ending of act 2, Marvin’s healthy relationship with Whizzer ONLY LASTED LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. WHY WILLIAM FINN HAD TO HURT ME THIS WAY?

I just listened to Falsettos songs on shuffle and YouTube literally put “This had better come to a stop” after “Making a home”. What an experience!
