‘Someone Found the Words’ from ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE by @gwonster 🩵 Full song on my YouTube :) I love this show so much, I wrote a whole personal essay about it. Read on if you dare… The cast recording of ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE came out at the end of February. I had it pre-saved. I was already excited to listen to it because I had loved this show so much when I saw it in New York last year. And now that I’ve been able to spend more time with it, I…may be obsessed. The score speaks to my heart in such a way that I actually have gotten chills and cried just listening through it 🫢 And it takes a LOTTT for music alone to move me to tears. But oofff this score! This show! These performances. These orchestrations. Every time I listen, the deeper it hits. The show takes place in 1996, as we follow Ricky, a closeted gay math teacher, whose compartmentalized life unravels as he coaches a misfit student, Samantha, for a state theatre competition. Part of that life involves a budding romance with a local bookstore owner, Michael. Their meet-cute culminates with a song called “Dinner.” I remember thinking it was sweet in the show. But hearing it again, I felt almost giddy with excitement? Even in musical theatre, I’m not very used to hearing two queer characters singing to each other. The flirting! Ricky opening himself up to romance! Seeing him in a way that we never could at the school where he teaches. And during this moment, I was like… omg this is so me. I’ve so been there. I grew up in a very white, Christian community. I like to think I did a really good job fitting into that community. I’m a chronic people-pleaser (yes, I’m in therapy), and I was always trying to make sure people felt comfortable around me. At the same time, I was taking dance and musical theatre classes downtown with kids from other schools. I felt like I was bringing out different parts of myself in each setting. [continued in comments bc apparently I have a lot to say]

Composer Adam Gwon (Off-Broadway's All the World's a Stage) joined Charlie on @mappingthecollegeaudition - alongside Michelle Noh (Broadway's Liberation) and Elizabeth Stanley (Broadway's Jagged Little Pill) - to discuss their paths in musical theater and the process of creating a cast album! Listen now to get an exciting perspective of musical theater from the composer/producer side of the table!

Forgetting is part of process. Remembering is too. @gwonster wrote a Love song that carries common DNA with “What I Did For Love” and “Show People”—a type of meta-mirror-musical-moment that triggers a special kind of collective effervescence. THAT feeling. The pureness of it. I think that’s what we’re trying to return to whenever we sit down in a theater. So why not look to the source? The place where the wonder started. Likely, on a Saturday night in a small auditorium. Comment RICKY for a link to the album ♥️
