March Of The Falsettos - Blog Posts

A post in one of the falsettos communities has made me think about what month all of the characters were born so here that is

Marvin: January

Whizzer: June

Jason: November

Mendel: September (maybe also November)

Trina: March (hehe reference)

Charlotte: July

Cordelia: May

Caroline: February

These are objectively correct but I'm willing to hear other people's theories

This is crazy and only 26 notes is wild

Now seems like a good time to do this

First of all, rip to William Finn, that legend is missed

But I wanted to introduce y'all to my

Falsettos binder

An entirely hand written book of all the (dialogue? Lyrics?) of the entire musical.

Based on the revival 'cause that one's my favorite.

We got: in depth analysis of every bit of significance in nearly every line. Dumb thoughts of mine. And memes.

[I'm not exaggerating when I said I went through eight packs of sticky notes]

The point

A probably incorrect timeline based on a few dates and hella real world assumptions

Pencil/colored pencil drawings featuring every character's musical assigned colors and me-assigned chess pieces

Depressing watercolor paintings

A cobbled together study on the chess pieces used in "the chess game" cause they look so strange and are never used again

An extensive study on the cube which I used to build the whole thing functionally in the real world

What I call ✨ notes on a scene✨

Which is commentary and observations of every bootleg production I've seen.

There's also an In Trouser analysis in here somewhere, but alas, I have reached the image limit.

Perhaps you can tell I'm just slightly feral for this musical and had a bit too much free time a couple months back.

No fr cuz there's like two and I don't like the voices of the creator of either

„oh, how are you felix?“

me: definitely not crying at the lack of falsettos video essays because the marvin trilogy is such a wonderful collection of cleverly crafted musicals, and my one and only desire is to become at least somewhat like howard ho and hamilton but for tmt

also me „yeah no im good!“

I have many thoughts on Trina from Falsettos with most of them being sad for her

In ‘In Trousers’, it says that Marvin and Trina had two kids, but then, in ‘March of the Falsettos’, there was only Jason. Did Jason kill the other kid or something????
