Wow I just realized that I never made an intro post with all the new people following me for musical stuff

So Hi! I’m Dani or Daniel, I use he/him or they/them pronouns. I’m a queer disabled artist based in NYC

My top shows are Be More Chill, Love In Hate Nation, Heathers, Beetlejuice, Wicked, Little Shop of Horrors, and Ride The Cyclone. I’ve been doing theatre since I was 10. I’ve been in both plays and musicals (The Diary of Anne Frank, Roma Amor, West Side Story, Heathers, Happy Days, etc.).

Since I’m assuming most of you are here for BMC, here’s some of my history with it. I got into BMC back in 2017 and was pretty quiet in the fandom during that time. I saw the show when it was on Broadway in 2019 and it became a special interest. A lot of the Broadway cast knows who I am and has referred to me as “Baby Tam” (mostly Gerard). I’m semi-friends with Joe Iconis and almost did an internship with him (long story).

I make a lot more content over on my tiktok where I talk about musicals, art, and do cosplay. I also post my art on instagram and twitter (but I don’t really use twitter as much). I have a patreon where you can get behind the scenes content of my work as well as an etsy if you’d like to buy some of my work. And that’s about it! Hope you enjoy my blog.

genuinely i do think it's crazy how this show hit every single mark for no reason other than pure love of the game. like this wasn't a money grab and it didn't think it would be a big success, jacob just read a book he enjoyed and thought huh i think that would be a cool thing to make into a tv show. and then he brought on hudson and connor and they're fresh and passionate and not bogged down by the industry yet and they instantly became best friends and wanted to just have fun bringing these characters to life. and they didn't have a huge budget but they did the most with what they had and everybody took the show seriously and everybody took the book seriously. the cinematographer worked his magic. the music supervisor managed to snag a well-known queer hit and an up and coming new release and old school gems that have been around since the 2000s. it's canadian to the core, built from the ground up. it takes russians and the russian language seriously. it uses sex in such a specific, meaningful way that almost no other show has done thus far, and especially not in a queer context like this. they interlaced every episode with callbacks and parallelism and self-references. they didn't take themselves too seriously. they took everything so seriously. there is love and care baked into the core of this show and it's deeply queer and it doesn't shy away from the horrors of toxic masculinity and hockey culture but it is also, always, a story of joy and love and happiness. and on top of everything, it's almost word for word, the original source material from the book.

like damn it's no wonder this thing has made us all insufferable and become a huge fucking success! so few productions in hollywood are doing it like this!!!
