Melody um yes there is it's super simple but you know why don't you sing it for me [Music] right now I'm at work it would be unprofessional and inappropriate of me too everyone rolls out in bed at me dredging leaps all they're working and tired everyone belongs to the coffee shop the desperately buy a dog cool fire the light will extend from the friends the doors and everyone secretly wishing for more weight can you saw the coffee they water the drink down the sugar and cream [Music] cream taste

res and everyone wants to see you alive and awake wow you are incredible maybe you want a boogie dress oh thank you thank you I've definitely written much better than that but you know oh thank you I say kiddo I am actually the manager of a small van let's say I give you my card and you come by the practice room and see if you want to join what are you serious yeah and I promise I'm not a serial killer or anything I'm not giving you the address to an abandoned warehouse where I'm going to chop u
p and sell your body parts sounds legit I want to see your practice I'm pretty sure I will be there bye thank you you think my coffee will be ready anytime soon oh of course sorry um here you go thanks yeah of course foreign [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] [Music] should we maybe try one more time uh yeah yeah I guess it wouldn't hurt one two three four [Music] but you what are you guys looking at me for uh well when you play excessively loud and complicated guitar riffs like that it throw
s off the flow of the band what do you mean she's saying you're a spotlight Hall she's saying you're a prick no no I'm just saying that you're making it very difficult for the rest of the band to keep for them I'm throwing the van off Rhythm really yeah what about Animal from the Muppets over here some birds were supposed to be sunny but hey screw you animals a great drummer actually it'll what he's saying does have some Merit what you're sliding with Xander I'm not signing with anyone you just
you have a tendency to get faster as our songs progress oh and you think you're free from criticism no I never said oh my God you all suck we get it now get over it well there's no need for that you see yes Simon like you suck any less no one really even cares about the bass players you know it's all about the leaves baby you want to say that again Alexander how's your health care about I really hope you can afford another trip to the hospital to the ER again I don't think he has good enough Hea
lth here for that I'm sorry who the hell is this oh did I not mention I got us a new lead singer where did you manage to find them oh coffee shop right down the street I gave them the address and invited them to practice that's why I let you guys work on something on your own for a while so I can wait outside and escort them to the proper practice room why don't you introduce yourself darling um hi my name is Calypso I'm 19. I'm a spaghetti moon with the sun and uh oh my goodness sorry oh my God
this is important I'm gonna have to take this call uh you guys keep getting to know each other and and I'll be right back and remember you don't succeed change your name move to Nebraska that's me so so what's your deal well what do you mean by that like what are my hobbies or like one of my court beliefs or even oh what kind of archetype do I fall into what's the marketplace oh okay so an archetype is a set of characteristics that describe a person or a character for example I have often been
described as a manic pixie dream person oh okay all right really so that means that like I'd be something like the Hard Rock right yeah I don't think that's quite right is there an archetype for self-absorb lead guitar player in advance oh there is actually first off [ __ ] you secondly what would you be then [ __ ] sure angry it's not an archetype dumbass how would you know you learned the definition of the word 30 seconds ago dumbass hey guys can we maybe not fight for like five minutes I wond
er what kind of archetype I'd be comedic relief maybe another Animal from The Muppets dude you use like a person like 10 minutes ago don't be stale wow I can't believe I get to be a part of this Dynamic I mean it's just like a little family very dysfunctional one well why don't we fix that come on everybody Circle up and we'll do a little team building exercise what are we kindergarteners oh come on humor me please okay um so this one is pretty simple I'm going to go around and ask a question an
d I would like everyone to take turns and turn it um oh if you were stranded on an island what would you bring everyone is going to go around and give me their answers and then we will decide on which one is the most important for one survival um I will go first [Music] you're on a Delta flights of Barbados cause you've been needing a vacation they offer you champagne and how did they know do a little early celebrate shots and you hear a concerning sound quickly begin your two defensive crowd ok
ay now you're trending on a Thailand so what would you take to survive there was just one thing that you would bring why would you decide to bring me all right I guess I guess we'll answer its matches limited Supply or you're gonna die on 29 and the fire tonight with you so instead I'll Slaughter my meals and strike Rock on the pig if there was just one that I [Music] like so the fire burn right and there's nothing you're wondering if you're getting dry ice so what would it take to do survive um
what would you decide to bring okay well um pretty much what about water that should be your number one concern yes you're surrounded with your or you could let a fire burn when boil the salt to the bottom of the pot that's how that works you can't make sea water drinkable by boiling energy [Music] doesn't matter you wouldn't have a pot either you guys remember we were trying to pray but yeah [Music] thank you [Music] that's what I take to survive the there was just one thing that I could write
beside so the fire's burning bright and there's a lot of inside and you're wondering if you can't even make it through the night and the goal for to strive [Applause] guess what I built this again that's great and all but you're gonna have to tell me how we're gonna manage a new gig with a brand new member I mean are we going to be ready oh not to worry you have three months to practice okay so what's the gig you guys are gonna be saving the world what the hell does that mean well you see uh th
e ancient uh Eldritch God as a God needs a new Alibi oh I'm sorry who the what as the thought is real you better get up I'm confused is this a prank no nope and nip this is legit it's it's not really expects to believe that we don't I guess not but uh I have proof here I hope I have had this thing in my possession for quite a while I've been expecting the government to get a hold of me about it now this has bestowed upon me the knowledge to love an ancient being to sleep the department of Supern
atural occurrences got a hold on me and they wanted to obtain it and I said no siree I will not let your hands on this book unless you let my little band of Misfits become the new outer Gods oh the outer gods are uh the ones who've been playing their music or as a thought for thousands of years so there's only one still left standing see is that Bjork good New York is the last remaining outer God and she grows weary after playing her song for thousands of years and uh she went mainstream uh whic
h I personally do not see any problem with but the government is losing his [ __ ] for some reason and that's where you guys come in you are going to write the new lullaby for azatha and we are going to send you the space to perform you get to save Humanity with a song oh okay so uh let me see if I've got this straight when the government called you on the phone you threatened not to comply just so you could get us this insane gig that you didn't even ask us if we wanted thus roping us into an I
ntergalactic mess that could destroy the universe and we make even one mistake because if I remember correctly the legend of azimov says if it wakes up the world we live in will soon please wait I mean when you put it like that it sounds really bad but you know what Marlene I have never seen you speak so bold to another human being in all my life really made progress I'm so proud of you oh thank you yeah uh anyway uh as I have laid a lot of heavy information on you I know it must be taxing to kn
ow that everyone that you know and care about is now depending on you so I'm gonna go ahead and uh we'll band practice early and uh we can talk about our real game plan tomorrow tomorrow but we don't have practice tomorrow oh shoot you do now and you will every day for a long long time or else everybody go ahead and back up just need to talk to you about something uh you are the most important member of this band what now I believe that everyone is equally as important and special in their own w
ay no no you don't understand uh it is up to you to write the lullaby for asthma what I can't do that 70 of the song they've written have been on used napkins you can't put that kind of trust in me I'm usually a pretty positive and optimistic person but there are times where I'm realistic because I have to be and realistically I can do this by myself well you're gonna have to try uh before today when you joined uh this was a cover band these kids could not write a song if their lives depended on
it nope and they do you're a great talent Calypso use that talent to save the universe oh that is a lot of pressure to put on I can't have anything fresher mix Diet s yeah but it also makes mashed potatoes even better but I don't want to be mashed potatoes they are mushy and sad but they also tastes great the mashed potatoes so big mashed potatoes all right ah you are going to do great I just know it this world depends on oh God okay um I need to get to writing [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Appla
use] [Music] thank you [Applause] oh how does we even go about writing a lullaby for an ancient god [Music] from Bobby [Music] we're just leaving the song is a story May Universe maybe two sing about a journey being taken battle dude [Music] you should be all good to go [Music] we [Music] wishing good luck with my right it shouldn't be all that heart [Music] I should just sit down and focus that's easy trust my other family and it work is my life Perfection is mine foreign [Music] really I used
to love gabulu in Middle School I used to go and think all the crazy stuff [Music] true true yeah what is my life Perfection is my okay [Music] surely I will make those around me feel the same sky is halfway to the top I'm gonna keep going cause I never learned how to stop all right Calypso what you got for us okay I'm actually pretty excited about this one it's called app thoughts Requiem go to sleep now no no no no no no you can't just jump in to go to sleep It's gotta be a story oh but it is
a story that's just the first part I thought no no no it's got to go right into the story uh just keep working on it and we'll for now we'll just work on some stuff we already know hey Calypso I was thinking Backwards song this is a little bit harder anticipated it'll be a challenge to steer clear of being dead [Music] mates are stubborn all except Marley God bless her all of my friends they are so hard to hurt but where is my life Perfection is my I will make those around me feel the same as th
e sky is only so high to the top I'm gonna keep going cause I never learned how to stop stop stop stop stop stop stop why are you fighting because Andrew did something really nice for me because he's an [ __ ] he knows I hate it when people do nice things for me why because then I have to repay their kindness I hate owing things to people this [ __ ] knows that and he's doing nice things for me to piss me off that's a ridiculous [Music] [ __ ] I'm not hitting it dude I saw that little smile you
can barely even entertain yourself okay guys there's actually a very simple answer to this problem what can you do to repay Xander no no I have to end the cycle how come because I don't want to have to keep doing nice things for him every time he bites the ice cream or whatever and what's wrong with that suck it off man the two of you being nice to each other isn't the catastrophe that you think it is yeah suck it up man special [Music] you know everybody here we are working on our coordination
pray that I'm getting through to them I am discovering their issues and where they stem I think they're learning to trust me that is such a good day I'm good news cause it's been almost a month and I've got no time left I can see your fingers calloused for nothing it is like you have been playing for years that's how it appears so if you're already halfway there sure [Music] perfection [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right guys I've got great news I got us a new writer oh what
what I'm sorry kiddo uh but we're very short on time you're a great writer but it has been a month already and we're not making any progress so you're replacing me oh no no no no you can still be in the band you'll just have to be a backup singer in all due respect to her I really think Calypso can pull it off oh I'm sure they could if we had more time but we can't afford to take any risks so I got us some insurance in the form of Regina star with Regina Starr you mean the pop Idol no one and on
ly the music sucks no negativity in my bedroom feels right though I really think the Calypso is a better writer than she is come on you guys why don't you just listen to the demo she gave me when I gave her the criteria for the lullaby it's really great with Jesus Christ [Music] [Music] you're joking right yeah you know I thought that was pretty bad I'm kind of a huge fan what's up okay I admit it is not the best song but it has all the elements needed to keep as adults asleep are you really sur
e you don't want me to keep trying well I mean I suppose you can keep trying if you really want to but it's not really necessary anymore all right everybody that's enough for today uh we will start learning Regina's song tomorrow [Music] [Applause] [Music] morning Calypso oh hi Marley how are you good good great evening that's not a good thing no no it is it is because I am so close to finishing this song here um gibberish oh Jesus Christ [ __ ] you two are you oh I'm sorry marmar it's been a ro
ugh night I must have said at least 30 demos to Bobby and none of them were good enough I'm sorry could I could I just get a coffee black is fine I'll just add my own sugar of course one second and you know what really bothered me when Bobby was showing us Regina Stars I know she made a ton of mistakes that I got criticized for I noticed that too and how did he even get her anyway I mean she is so [ __ ] famous [Music] right to to be fair Bobby does hold leverage against the government oh I alwa
ys forget about that um can I grab my coffee please [Music] my songs are better better order save more towards in I would say order I put my heart and soul into the lyrics it's usually a princess [Music] come on take note of my eyes [Music] please please if you like me because give me some notes please [Music] foreign [Applause] [Music] if you want to do this you're going to have to do it the right way the healthy way why don't you come over to my house after rehearsal and I can monitor you whil
e you're right oh really you would do that I mean you give me my coffee then sure I'm at your service oh of course sorry [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] folks in just two days Regina star is flying all the way from Finland to our little Studio you think you're gonna be ready by then we already know how to play the song Bobby it has like three chords throughout the entire thing it doesn't hurt to rehearse though does it so how to oh yeah I'm gonna have to take this I I will be right ba
ck yeah yellow foreign so what are we gonna do why are you asking me look you're kind of like the leader when Bobby isn't around but I guess we can do another team building exercise um Everybody Circle up thank you okay um so this one is called apples versus oranges I'm going to give everybody two options and then whichever option gets the majority stays in as I add another competitor and the game continues you'll get it more once we get started but um oh apples versus oranges uh which one do yo
u like better apples I like apples because they're red huh uh I like oranges uh is that vitamin C which is pretty important I'm gonna have to go with apples because I don't want to agree with Xander oranges because I am allergic to apples oh I'm gonna have to break the tide um I'm gonna go with oranges because Marley's allergic to apples and I'm going to support her um oranges versus oh ice cream ice cream duh um Let's Race the six of it shall we um ice cream or true ice cream because I don't ex
perience romantic attraction to anyone uh I gotta go with true love I'm gonna go with ice cream people are unrelated true love I create validation more than I crave sugar um I'm going to have to go with true love people between friends or family um okay true love versus music music wow another unanimous agreement who are you guys okay um music versus damn family I love my family I would do anything for my family I would sacrifice my entire careers to keep them safe a little less intense also fam
ily yeah he's not just me and my mom thought my dad my brother and you know as much as I would like to see them more often you know I still love them nonetheless I'm gonna have to go with music because uh you can't let down music unless you're gonna do it um family yeah family oh you don't sound too sure about that bar Laurie well I I love my family I really do they're wonderful but they're white um what oh I was adopted yeah I am well I don't really know anything about my culture and I can't he
lp but blame them just a little bit for not to have you tried talking about it with him I want to I just don't think I am from the guts or the heart it's your turn by the way oh right um I'm gonna have to go with music because I don't really talk to my family much anymore except for my goldfish he's cool but um okay we can probably do like one more before bobby gets back so let's do family worse hey yeah what are you doing did you finish practicing uh I did it yeah yeah we finished practicing an
d now we're gonna do a little exercise oh can I join sure um so it's called apples versus I used to play that back when I hit a desk job great see you know the rules um we were just about to do family versus jellyfish family versus jellyfish what what family mean what the hell look what I said about music yeah heard a jellyfish precisely you can't hurt a jellyfish they don't have brains they just aimlessly float through the ocean vacant and devoid of the uniquely human burden of consciousness no
suffering just waves a family can be broken a family can be dysfunctional a family can cause and feel intense physical emotional spiritual and metaphysical pain not jellyfish though jellyfish just find a way to exist without existing alive but not a week unenlightened therefore at peace [Music] all right that's enough for today you guys uh go ahead and back it up we'll uh get back to it again tomorrow I uh can I all right can I talk to you about something sorry sorry um how do I say this I'm Ko
rean on my dad's side and I know it's not the same by any stretched but uh I think I can sympathize with what you're going through a little uh sometimes I'm afraid that if my family dies then I'm just gonna stop being Korean and I know that sounds stupid but um just that I feel so disconnected to my culture that I'm terrified that once my only Thai sword or gone I'm just going to be well wait so I guess what I'm saying is that if you ever needed someone to talk to then I'm here to listen to be h
onest I didn't think that you were capable of expressing emotions other than anger and sarcasm sarcasm count as an emotion for a good friend you were entitled to a seven-day free trial of compassion hey you ready to go yeah no [Applause] [Music] okay show me what you got oh um I can't play the piano I usually pick a ukulele I got a good book so I can never afford one oh uh then show me what you got on the ukulele oh uh well that's the thing I really I already yet I was kind of hoping that I coul
d do some writing here and get some feedback sure thank you okay [Music] [ __ ] your jukebox pop for just the penny nickel dollar order oh um would you maybe want to teach me how to play right now I mean sure but I don't think you're going to be very happy piano takes a lot of time and effort and I know you're a sucker for fast results oh but that's okay I wanted to learn for forever and besides I think it would make notating stuff for the band a lot easier fair enough [Music] music please [Musi
c] [Music] once you have [Music] more [Music] than I [Music] said pay attention [Music] [Music] I just felt like a writing me then I'd write back to writing yes yeah of course um I'm gonna go right in the other room and so I don't get distracted that's right thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay okay so what movie do you watch all of these look delectively terrible I actually saw the trailer for that one it looks pretty good it's about a serial killer who's half foreign [M
usic] movies [Music] yeah I actually came to talk to you guys about something real quick that's cool yeah what's up is Bobby weirding you guys up just like a little bit too I mean a little I guess yeah I think he might be a little unstable mentally before rehearsal the other day he pulled me aside and said he had something for me right and and then even this a violin yeah that's weird um what's weirder is that it's mine you the violin yeah kind of I threw it away a couple days ago and which mean
s that Bobby knows where I live and it's been rooting through my trash I'm sorry you throw this away Senator this is an instrument you could have at least sold it threw it out because it's lame I would have thrown away sooner but my school wouldn't let me quit no Xander violin isn't lame I think you have zero taste but this is insane go back to the part where I said that Bobby was free no actually the only thing I care about in this moment is that you throw away a perfectly [ __ ] good violin ye
ah Simon is right now oh I already told you violin is lame I pick up the electric guitar six months ago because it's a sick ass instrument okay nobody likes the stupid nerd who loves about to play with violin I would have liked the stupid nerd who loves to play violin more than I like the stupid jerk who plays the electric guitar anyway you aren't the best majority or are you can we go back to talking about Bobby fine how do you think you got your address no idea do you think he followed you hom
e it's possible what do you say when he gave you the violin uh he said what you don't want to you don't want to put us away yeah and I was like what what violent he's like no your passion no that's pretty weird because the public was reading my mind oh so you are passionate about the violence literally just now yeah okay so yeah I'm about to buy it man I I love it like a [ __ ] ton but people at school get making fun of me about how passionate about what's up amongst other things I'm sorry Xande
r those people's opinions aren't worth [ __ ] violin is sick as [ __ ] it wasn't so much about me playing the violin itself but more about like how I was playing it right like my reactions were being too much and well I will personally kick each and every one of their asses no man I'm dead [ __ ] serious serious yeah no I'm gonna sign it on this one nobody deserves to go through that [ __ ] man people treated me awful whenever I was in school I was always deemed as too much I literally had to ex
haust myself every single day before practice just so I'd be easier to digest so yeah give me some names and I'll beat all of their asses thanks to you guys really I appreciate it but I do think you would like legit hurts I don't want to do that um but you know as as weird as it is I I'd like to kind of quality he gave a message it's a creepy as that is yeah that's a that's a weird dude because it's bad probably best enough to think about it too [Music] for a little bit don't you hit it where at
least oh I do I piss that jump scares but um I thought maybe it'd be more enjoyable threats around especially if it's a stupid movie like revenge of Mr puffer fish it was your funeral [Music] [Applause] thank you thank you all right you guys I hope you are as excited as I am to welcome Regina star in our studio um actually I wrote a song for the lullaby and was wondering if I could sing it for everyone oh well by all means show us then thank you [Music] she belongs for adventure the road is eve
n but she has Faith she will make it alive she prays to a god that she doesn't believe it holds her is all well [Music] [Applause] I knew you could I am so proud of you yes take that Regina oh I can't just deliver this stupid face when she sees other music fight song instead of hers yeah about that uh Bobby I never actually hired Regina star I made enough oh but what about the demo you showed us oh uh I just pulled up GarageBand on my iPad put it on the ground let my Pomeranians walk away she wa
s singing over it oh that was me with a voice filter why would you do that listen uh you are a very talented writer but we were not making any progress I figured a little competition would help you give you the push you needed that's incredibly manipulative well so what it worked out everything turned out well right I mean if you think about it technically that's all therapy is just manipulating someone into being a better version of themselves and therapy is considered a good thing so what's th
e difference here see this is why I don't go to therapy all of that aside we now only have one month to learn from ellipso's Lovely song so uh we better get to it now listen I have got to uh go ahead and take a business call but I will be back in about an hour and I hope you too Master it by some degree by then all right what the hell yeah so confusing he's just doing strange it's weird how encouraging and supportive he is sometimes he's such an unsettling human being it's really throwing me off
I mean he was literally digging through my trash so I'm sorry what wait did I not talk to you about that oh in fact I don't think we've even actually talked about how crazy what we're doing is okay we are going whose face to sing in Eldridge or to sleep that's in that's insane like how long does he expect us to stay up there are we just gonna sing to that thing forever I don't think so I remember telling him telling me in passing that we'd only be performing once which means we probably come ba
ck down to earth after that one single time makes sense why would he risk his life with the government so we can perform his face one time I mean I know he loves us but not that much I mean we're not even getting anything out of this no you're right we're not but maybe he is though I think you're on to something Xander oh I bet he's getting money out of this well he could just sell his magical books that's clearly what they're after he can name his price unless maybe the book would have only rak
ed in so much cash if he sold them a song for instance then the royalties could keep him wealthy for a lifetime I bet it's not probably he isn't telling us the band that's replacing us after we perform is going to be using Calypso song which means every time when someone gets like he'd make up a ton of cash he told us in the very beginning that this was top secret and that that was because he didn't want me to copyright my song he wanted to claim it as his we have to confront him about this hey
guys I know I said I'd only be gone an hour but I have had the craziest idea about the money what we know that you're trying to claim my song as your own so that you can get paid every time a new utter God uses it no no no no no no I would never I wasn't supposed activities but I am being paid a ton of money but I plan to split it between us six ways you weren't supposed to find out until you got back from the performance now every time the song is played you will earn two million dollars except
for you Calypso you will earn six million dollars [Music] thank you so let's go to space early what well this sooner we go and get it over with the sooner we get paid we haven't even had any type of practice Calypso song yet well you better get to it then uh you think you all could get it done by about uh 6 p.m tomorrow I mean it's a pretty easy song you should get it down by then I'm sure we can do it oh fantastic and uh hey when you go home tonight spend some good quality time with your loved
one you know just in case [Laughter] thank you all right we'll get to it oh and sander Nick's the guitar on this one I want to hear you on and violin for this piece yes sir well all right everybody ready yeah uh hey Bobby can I talk to you for a minute shoot um I just wanted to thank you for fishing my violin out of the trash it's weird that you know where I live and I've been digging around in my business but hey at the end of the day I'm actually gonna laugh at it you gave it back to me well
it was nothing but I did not dig your violin out of the trash but then how did you get it your dad came by the studio he saw that he would throwing it away so he gave it to me and asked if there was any way I could get you interested in it again he really loves something oh yeah that makes like so much more sense yeah I I was about to call 9-1-1 I thought you were stalking me no no no I am a little eccentric sure but I'm not that [ __ ] crazy or anything hahaha [Applause] I'll bet she's crazy ho
w's it going uh pretty good last night I confronted my parents about not teaching me about my culture oh sounds awesome how'd it go uh well they uh cried and apologized and then this morning I noticed that my mom downloaded Duolingo so uh I'd say pretty good she did really great thank you for being there Simon it would have been so much more nervous if it weren't for you I'm really happy with the way things went Marley I am so proud of you you have really come out of your shell since we first me

no one should know yeah you get used to it but now for the answer that you seek any song will put azathaw to sleep it doesn't have to be anything special just a song the outer Gods didn't play anything outstanding the globe I was really just for insurance purposes uh I was also wondering oh there is no cure for your friend uh well not exactly I mean it is an infection but it's livable once you get to earth uh it will settle down it'll probably be a lot like eczema once you are away from the elem
ents that cause the infection it cannot kill you you however have something that could kill you in an instant if you're not careful but me how you can't fall in love in this plane dude destruction bruh doesn't make any sense I don't have any questions right right right lead you don't have much time get your writing dudes [Music] oh God okay I gotta get you ready um [Applause] okay okay maybe I could write a song about a cupcake going on a journey talk oh [ __ ] that flame I thought I'm a millenn

​If at first you don’t succeed, change your name, move to Nebraska, lay low for a while, start a farm as a cover, and then try again very discreetly so that the government doesn’t catch you this time Best line

@jamesl.7151

not gonna lie, I really didn't know just how much I needed to see a trans masc character just existing in a musical- and without being "the trans guy". I love this musical so much, the concept, story, songs and performance are all amazing.

@ellakz8963

The line “I said leave me, I was faking” during Rotting is so damn heartbreaking wth Also spoilers possible Adil casually just melting for the rest of the musical while the rest of the group just does stuff is so funny to me

@BlackieSootfur

ITS SO GOOD AAA I CANT WAIT FOR THE CAST ALBUM TO COME OUT!!!

@anemptyspritecan

In it'll all be worth it, I think my favorite part is when Bobby is moving around the stage, and nobody else is moving, Azathoth's eye followed him the whole time. I love this musical so much istg

@KittenSneeze

YOU GUYS ARE ALL SO TALENTED AND AMAZING AND I'M SO PROUD TO BE Y'ALLS FRIENDS! <3

@layla.williams__

No suffering, just ✨wavvves✨ - Bobby 💀

@auggiewritesmusicals

So honored to have played any part in this amazing show. So much love to the cast and crew for making this such a special experience, and to everyone watching, I really hope you enjoy it just as much as we enjoyed being apart of it!💕

@januaryeyler

So so proud to have been able to share this stage with everyone. I love yall so much and I hope that you all love this show as much as I do 💕💕💕

@blue7146

This musical NEEDS to get popular because I want to quote it to so many people. How can I say my star sign is spaghetti without at least one person in the room getting it! On a more bigger note, I really needed to hear a lot of things in this play. 1:44:06 really stuck with me

@musicaltheater8942

WAIT I JUST REALIZED Spoiler warning probably btw During like the whole second act they’re all affected by azathoth’s plane somehow (Calypsos slow descent into madness, Marlys omnipotence, Xander falling madly in love with Simon, Adil quite literally rotting from the inside out) but Simon seems pretty much fine. OR IS HE ,, because they’re the only one who ever talks to or acknowledges the audience at all, and it’s during crazy for you tango and once again, which are both after azathoth wakes up. So the question IS: is the plane causing him to able to break the fourth wall, or am I simply incorrect? Thoughts, sushi???? 🤨 Please man I need to know now

@rio4903

Ok so I'm on my second rewatch of this amazing musical and I've just noticed something! Spoilers underneath so proceed if you dare.... Ok so I just realised that one of the reasons that Bobby brought Calypso into the band in the first place is because their song matches perfectly with his own philosophy in a really twisted way. I mean, the parallels between Calypso recognising that everyone in humanity is suffering in their own way whilst Bobby wanting to end the collective suffering of humanity? I'm going insane just watch me -

@Orinayos

Rotting is my fav song of this play. I personally love adil, she relatable for me. Especially the line “I said leave me, I was faking!” Love her❤

@fishyfisk3915

be mashed potatoes guys

@rioisnotokay-ipromise-6115

Calypso stimming gives me LIIIIIFE!!!❤❤

@perseph_says_hello

Massive love for everyone who went into putting this on stage. I'm so happy to see this here!!!

@sleep6837

Not even gonna lie, I saw your short talking about all the music/musicals you've written and kinda rolled my eyes. But as a young artist and writer myself, WOW. The amount of work here is insane, and I can't express enough how much respect I have for it.

@rominabesteiro3441

Me at the start: I vibe with the drummer. Now: Aro rep?! Yess favorite character for sure
