The outsiders musical, huh?

GO, GO NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO RANT!!!

OHHHHHHH MY GOD I LOOOOVE YOU ANON I LOVE YOU

RANT INCOMING

Dude I listened to it maybe a year ago and just. WOAUGH. I'm seeing it in a few months and I'm BEYOND excited. Nearly everything about that musical is top tier for me. The beautiful voices... the characterization...

ESPECIALLY love the highlight on Pony and Johnny's relationship. cause like. wow. they really were something. :) Their duets are some of my favorites amongst the soundtrack, the lyrics and their voices work sooo well together.

Also LOVELOVELOVE the focus on Darry's struggles too, and a greater focus on Dally's relationship with Johnny :') make me hurt make me cry...

I LOVE all the casting (Pony, Johnny, Cherri, Dally, Darry, Soda, okay actually I'm just listing all the characters... whoops...) the choreography, the set, the costuming, the EVERYTHINGGG If the cast changes before I get to see them live I will be so normal (depression.)

I think that there are some things that I wish were translated into song instead of done in spoken scenes in between, and some characters should've gotten more of a highlight imo (entirely thought that they tossed Steve out the window when I first listened to it & also who the actual heck is Ace...), but I haven't seen the musical live yet so!!

And I think that where as most of the lyrics hit for me, there are a few times when I think there could be a little better lyricism. Small things like in Justice for Tulsa when Cherry goes "Could this have gone a different way, I can't believe I'm standing here today" feel a bit too simple? But I digress. The lyrics work when they need to, and my god they hit hard.

They hit the overall mood SOOOO good the instrumentation punches me in the face x 3000 every time I listen to the soundtrack, and man some of these tracks have for real become comfort songs.

I love the book so much, I read it at the time in my life that I needed to, it reminds me of the teacher who introduced me to it who since passed, and I'm happy with how they adapted the musical.

TLDR; I love the musical very much.

Could get into hour long conversations about it haha

Anon, have you listened to it? I recommend you do if you've read the book, it's a little bit hard to pick up on its own!

Some of my fav siblings :))

(And then we drew on my friend's car after the movie :)

I've been really inspired by the Sonic art all over my dash so here's a redraw despite literally having never drawn this zoomy hedgehog ever before this and having little to no knowledge of the lore :))
