Bill Finn - Blog Posts

You forget that he also asked his child "Where my hug at?"

marvin unironically saying “you’re looking sweeter than a donut” is insane

Whizzer definitely likes Chappel Roan and queen and yeah

Marvin likes classical music idk what it is about him that guy likes beethoven

Marvin and whizzer wouldn't get married if they could I don't think

Why aren't the songs from in trousers on any major streaming platform?

I love in trousers but wtf does he mean "crack your feet"

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

That one part in Whizzer going down, like if you agree

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.

bill finn's work has truly changed my life. he is by far one of the greatest composers of our time. his ability to so honestly write about the human experience is incredible. he has created so many heartbreakingingly beautiful pieces about love, loss, family, and identity. falsettos has been my favorite musical for years, i truly cherish it and hold it so close to my heart. what bill has done for the queer and theatre community is nothing short of groundbreaking. hearing of his passing has been absolutely devastating. wishing peace to his friends and family. may his memory be a blessing♡

awful day for falsettos fans :(

sending so much love to william finn’s family, may his memory be a blessing ♡
