Experience Tumblr like never before
Guys, I messed up. I messed up real bad.
So I decided to listen to two musicals for the first time this week.
The first musical is an underrated masterpiece with a beautiful story and amazing comedy and while the songs aren’t the greatest songs I’ve heard in a musical, they’re still really REALLY great. It’s also a really good parody on top of that. Like this is legitimately one of my favorite musicals now, 9.8/10
The second is a cast album that doesn’t have a show yet and while it isn’t the greatest musical in the world, it was still a pretty good time and I have a ton of respect for the creator. It was a solid 7/10 cast album
However, this is where we run into an issue.
The second musical is INSANELY popular. Like Hamilton-level popular. There are thousands of fics, fanarts, animatics, covers, the whole shebang.
The first musical while it had a decent size fanbase at one point, and a lot of people still like it, the hype has completely died down and it gets grouped together with a lot of musicals made by the same group. There’s very little fanart, there’s barely anything on Tumblr, there’s less than 50 fics, and nobody mentions it anymore.
GUESS WHICH ONE MY BRAIN DECIDED TO HYPER-FIXATE ON?!
And I missed out on the hype cause I was 8 when it came out.
Crap.
