Thinking About Sir Hop-a-lot Saying Aha! Every Time He Parries A Sword Thrust

I just want to take a moment to shout out Lauren Lopez and Curt Mega for the dance choreography and the fight choreography. That was good shit.

bryce charles as ella ashmore is THE best casting decision they could’ve made hands down. every one of her songs is so difficult vocally and she makes them sound beautiful and look easy. she has spot on comedic timing and sells all her one liners, then in multiple scenes of the same show she’s fully sobbing her eyes out and screaming in pain. she brings depth to her heavy scenes and light into her upbeat ones. her dramatic acting is FLAWLESS, she helps the audience understand the gravity of everything ella’s enduring even in a show with a lot of melodramatic and fantastical elements. ella goes through the widest range of emotional experiences by far and bryce nails the portrayal of each and every one - fear, rage, guilt, grief, elation, love, disgust, vengeance, hope. she has a clear stage presence and is able to hold her own when she’s the only one onstage. her dance numbers are beautiful and she nails all her (one million pieces of) choreography. and once again i have to comment on her vocals like you have to be SO GOOD to sing those songs as well as she did even once let alone for the full run of the show. if i sounded like her i would never shut up. bryce charles is the true definition of a triple threat and i knew i would be impressed by her performance as ella ashmore but wow. just wow. blown away doesnt even begin to cover it

there’s something so funny about putrice saying “you should laugh” to the prince after their vows when the stepmother and rancilda are cackling

Joey’s/ crumb’s little comments + encouragements during Sir hops a lots fight are so cute

The whole fights rllly good tho

“Froggy froggy froggy”

“He-he just did kind of the same thing, sir, he did it twice! Woah! Sorry”

“Oh n-n-n-n-no!”

Giving Kim the role of a goddess was honestly the wisest decision they could have made. What a hauntingly beautiful voice, I need to do a ranking of songs Kim has sung, even small parts, in SK shows, that fucked me up /pos
