I feel like I should give a little run-down of my current favorite things... just kind of as an introduction, but also as a landmark, because these will definitely change in the future.
Favorite musicals: Newsies (kinda have to have that one on my list, cause it's what inspired me to start musical theatre), Hamilton (of course..... only of COURSE though), Next to Normal, Rent, Kinky Boots (ever since they came to my city a couple of weeks back and I spent so much time sitting across the lot, staring at the trailer...), Finding Neverland (got to see that one on Broadway after convincing my parents that it was the show to see)... I would probably like Fun Home and Les Miserables if I saw them...
Favorite Broadway actors: Lin-Manuel Miranda (of course... only of COURSE though), Andy Mientus, Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Santino Fontana, Tommy Bracco, Adam Kaplan (bless that man), Corey Cott, Jeremy Jordan... of course, Christopher Gattelli, though he's a choreographer (bless that man even MORE)....
Those are the only things I like. Musicals and Broadway actors.
I'm gonna go over the list of who I currently follow on Twitter. It's a very select number cause I only follow those I'm interested in, so I don't have to wade through lots of irrelevant tweets. Or at least, irrelevant tweets from irrelevant people. (Irrelevant tweets from relevant people are okay.) And I know that just sounded really judgmental and unfair, but chill. It's Twitter. It's just that I'd rather my timeline be nice and condensed.
Anyway, here goes, starting from the person I've been following for the longest:
Taylor Groothuis (she's a kid actor, we used to be internet friends, don't really talk anymore, but I don't have it in me to unfollow her for as long as she follows me), Rowan Blanchard (followed her BEFORE SHE GOT COOL AND ON 'GIRL MEETS WORLD' and turned into an intelligent, poised activist), Nicole (best friend, have to follow), Ariana (again, friend, have to follow, she kinda made me do it hahaha), Corey Cott (played the lead role in Newsies when I saw it on Broadway, also Corey is such an inspiration, he's a strong Christian on the Broadway scene and isn't afraid to show and share it at all... if I make it to Broadway someday, I want to be like Corey), David Guzman (while I was watching Newsies, I liked him the best out of the ensemble), Jeremy Jordan (he's just everything), the theatre that I did 'The King and I' at (because that's necessary), this guy I did K&I with (also necessary, for as long as he follows me too), Christopher Gattelli (because he's my Broadway inspiration and yaaaaaas he's everything, even more everything than Jeremy), Greg Zane (worked with him on K&I), Emilio (he's actually on Broadway K&I now, but I worked with him in the one I did, and he was my favorite castmate, wow, he influenced me so much), Jon (he's also in Broadway's K&I, we're internet friends, I got to hang out with him for a second in his dressing room when I went to visit them, but he's my age and he's like currently the only person on Broadway who's our age), Alejandro (ugh wow beautiful), Adam Kaplan (saw him as Davey in Newsies when he understudied the role, also met him when he came with Kinky Boots, which I saw like three times.. but I gave him cookies and he flipped out... and we also have matching t-shirts), Ryan Steele (Newsies, dancer, beautiful as well), Tommy Bracco (Tommy Bracco for Prom Queen... that is all), Amaya (from Broadway's K&I), this filmmaking dude in my city who I met who's important who I should follow (because keeping connections), Michael Fatica (Newsies), Aaron Albano (Newsies, also Broadway K&I, I met him there when I visited), Tyce Green (Broadway but not Broadway guy? We're internet acquaintances, also my friend grew up with him), NPH (of course), Lin-Manuel Miranda (of course... only of COURSE though), Santino Fontana (saw him first in 'Submissions Only' - which, by the way, I am on my third time of watching, it's so great), Stephan Bienske (also saw in Subs Only but he's engaged to Chris Gattelli, so that's important and cool), Andrew Keenan-Bolger (made Subs Only also makes like everything all hipster and cool about Broadway, he's the total trendsetter), Colin Hanlon (Subs Only, but he's great), Telsey + Company (I want to work for them, they're the biggest casting company on the Broadway scene), Andy Mientus (ugh he's perfect, that's all), Sean Grandillo (also basically perfect), Chris McCarrell (also basically perfect), J Harrison Ghee (was Lola when I saw Kinky Boots tour, got to talk to him a couple of times and ugh he's so sweet and humble), Juan (from Kinky Boots, he knows Emilio too because they were both on the West Side Story national tour), Michael (Kinky Boots dance captain, he looked so cool) AND THAT'S IT. THAT WAS SO UNNECESSARY. AND TIRING. But I had to stick it through.
Sorry about that.
Good night.
