“What’s so rewarding about the character of Anya is that as she keeps moving forward, I, as Christy Altomare get to say ‘just like that character, and the reason you’re connected to Anya, you get to move forward and achieve your dreams too if you have the courage and the heart to do it.’”

ok. this might be a bit of an odd question but i'm genuinely curious, what are the gayest (or most romantic) performances of for good? in actual productions of wicked, in concerts, etc.
(for example, this performance in concert by carmen cusack and katie rose clark has major gelphie vibes)
I want to live by myself when I move out of my parent's place but I'm really afraid of money problems? I'm afraid that the only place I can afford will be in the ghetto and it'll all be torn apart and I'll only be allowed to eat one granola bar a week. I'm really stressing out about this. I don't know anything about after school life. I don't know anything about paying bills or how to buy an apartment and it's really scaring me. is there anything you know that can help me?

Adult Cheat Sheet:
Once you’ve looked over all those cool links, I have some general advice for you on how you can have some sort of support system going for you:
You may decide to leave home for many different reasons, including:
It’s common to be a little unsure when you make a decision like leaving home. You may choose to move, but find that you face problems you didn’t anticipate, such as:
Think about how your parents may be feeling and talk with them if they are worried about you. Most parents want their children to be happy and independent, but they might be concerned about a lot of different things. For example:
Reassure your parents that you will keep in touch and visit regularly. Try to leave on a positive note. Hopefully, they are happy about your plans and support your decision.
Tips include:
Not everyone who leaves home can return home or ask their parents for help in times of trouble. If you have been thrown out of home or left home to escape abuse or conflict, you may be too young or unprepared to cope.
If you are a fostered child, you will have to leave the state-care system when you turn 18, but you may not be ready to make the sudden transition to independence.
If you need support, help is available from a range of community and government organisations. Assistance includes emergency accommodation and food vouchers. If you can’t call your parents or foster parents, call one of the associations below for information, advice and assistance.

Signal boosting: because who knows who may need this today…? :)
this made me cry, so i have to share it. i can’t tell you how much of this feels like it was about my childhood.
“Some nights, always alone, I go out in stolen makeup and women’s clothes with an ID I found in a lost wallet. I never feel more male than on these nights”
this has been fucking me up for a minute
there is too much that i want to quote here and not enough to convince you that this will be one of, if not the, most important pieces you will read this year.
“I hate that the only effective response I can give to “boys are shit” is “well I’m not a boy.” I feel like I am selling out the boy in baseball pajamas that sat with me on the bed while I tried to figure out which one I was supposed to be, and the boys who I have met and loved from inside my boy suit—who believed they were talking to a boy. I feel like I am burning the history of the naked body that sits on the floor of my shower. The body that went to prom in a boxy tuxedo and coveted the gowns.”
Everybody should mandatorily have to read this article before they claim to be an ally to trans women.
I think this is essential reading. Not only for an insight into gender, but for insight into the limits we put on our empathy. And our judgement on who we think is allowed to tell their truth.
“Of course she couldn’t know my story, but my story is not what made true what I was saying.”
anyway, bandstand is still one of the most beautiful pieces of theatre to date

GET TO KNOW ME MEME: [1/5] TV Shows -> Wayward Guide For The Untrained Eye
“Listen to me. That crazy bitch killed Ryan. Now you have one bullet in that gun. If it’s meant for anyone, it’s meant for her.”
Sapphic. Broadway. Duets.
I want two girls (ideally one being myself) singing "Only Us," "Something to believe in," "People will say we're in love," "As long as you're mine," etc, together. There should be dancing and an uncomfortable amount of eye contact. Make it as romantic as possible.
I just think that would be very good an gay and I Want It.
god what i'd give for broadway love duets to be sung by two women
let's further the sapphic agenda everyone

A good thread on whether “queer” is a slur and if it should be used or not.
“If I am unashamed of being queer, you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slur.”
you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slur
EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT BEFORE YOU HAS TAKEN THE ROCKS AND BOTTLES AND MADE THEM INTO SHIELDS AND WINDCHIMES
Holy motherfucking shit. Don’t fucking come at me about Queer is a slur. I FUCKING KNOW IT IS. It was hurled at me like a fucking spear all through my youth. I know it’s a god damn slur. And it’s mine. You don’t get to take it away from me because you can’t take also away the scars it gave me while I was standing in front of my younger queer siblings in this community.
always, always reblog this one.
If my enemy swings a sword at me and I take that sword away from them, it’s my sword now. And the person telling me I can’t use it because it belongs to my enemy and I have to give it back to them sounds quite a bit like an enemy themselves.
^^ god that analogy
Yesssssssssss.
This came around again, but it’s worth sharing and remembering. You have the right to only accept certain words be used to describe you, but so does everyone else.
I have this bookmarked to through at people who DM me about using the word Queer.
no one: me: here’s a flow chart of 41 lgbtq+ book recommendations, have fun! disclaimer: this is a very non-comprehensive list since I’m only including books that I’ve read
mariah and angela very shamelessly being obsessed with each other on social media despite never having met in person is the greatest thing thank you very much

Part of exercise is figuring out what makes you happy, what helps you celebrate your body, and how to eat to support yourself in doing all these things. It is not about trying to do whatever is popular to change yourself to fit whatever the latest beauty fad is; if you do that then you are only hurting yourself.

Granted, the bar is so low, but I'm always so impressed with how Nick Lang responds whenever someone from a marginalized group points out a misstep in a Starkid production that perpetuated a harmful stereotype about their group. He responds with compassion, validation, a checked ego, and a pledge to learn and do better. Literally basic human decency.
So many creators could take notes from how he responds. In fact, probably, basically everyone Starkid emulated in the early days (all that 90s and 00s shock comedy especially) should take notes from how he responds.
Please do not sleep on how special it is for a creator like him to exist.
My friend just said I’m not a theatre kid because I’ve never performed musical theatre, last time I checked I didn’t have to be talented to like something but ok sure why not.
i felt this so hard
but also theatre is more than the performers on stage, let's be completely clear about that :) shows can't do shit without tech crews and directors and managers and stagehands, they are every bit as important to the success of a production as the people who sing and dance and get applauded :)
