🚨I NEED YOUR HELP! Keep Musical Theatre Mondays or no!? 🤷🏻♂️
Hey everyone!
Quick update: We've decided we are PAUSING Death Note the Musical until I get further into the anime so I don't spoil it.
But that leaves Mondays wide open for tomorrow, and I want to see if there is enough community interest to keep this dedicated full day of the week to musical theater reactions? And if there is, what musical should we do next?
🎭 YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS...of which NONE of these I've watched in full so far!
Hadestown — Faith M, 8 hearts "A musical rooted in folk music traditions, amazing storytelling, and themes of hope and solidarity. I like to think of it as a folk opera." (Pro-shot on Apple TV+)
Starkid: The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals — mr_unaware (5 hearts), waffling seconded it and said the whole Hatchetfield trilogy "would be an amazing watch, there would be a lot to talk about vocally, and the shows are really dark and fun, with some great songwriting." One other also requested it this month.
Waitress — Sandra B, 5 hearts. "It's streaming on Amazon. One of my all time favorites and the cast is outstanding." nathan backed it up. And we already know Ironmouse crushed "She Used to Be Mine" from this show!
Next to Normal (West End) — Anna Stachia recommended the production with Caissie Levy and Jack Wolfe. "As a heads up it covers a lot of heavy topics." Caissie Levy was the original Elsa on Broadway. I love the music from this show, never watched it in full though.
Come From Away — Mina and cashette both asked for this one. Pro-shot on Apple TV+.
Of Ashes the Musical — nathan noname: "genuinely some of the most gut wrenching emotionally powerful music I've ever heard. Such unique voices, and you don't have to worry about not understanding because it's meant to be consumed just as the music."
Shrek the Musical — Zephyr: "Unironically the songs/singing in shrek the musical is great. They have a wide variety of voices and song genres."
Frozen on Broadway — cashette
Prince of Egypt on Broadway — cashette
Starkid: Twisted — LyricalLinder, 2 hearts. "Twisted is my favorite."
Frankenstein: A New Musical — Hexaphobia
Black Butler Musicals — Annabel V, 5 hearts (though she noted they might be hard to find in full)
💥 HERE'S WHAT I NEED FROM YOU
1. Do you WANT Musical Theatre Mondays to continue? Let me know in the comments!
2. If you do want it to keep going, which musical should we do next? Comment below with your vote from the list above — or drop a NEW recommendation I haven't seen yet.
3. If you've been quietly enjoying the musicals but haven't spoken up — NOW is the time. The themed days stay because the community shows up for them. Our other days of the week are going strong, so I need to see that same energy from the musical theatre crew if you want your day.
4. If you do NOT feel, we should keep MT Mondays going, what would you like for a weekly theme on Mondays? You can also let me know that down in the comments.
Your hearts and comments on THIS post are what tell me whether to keep the day or use Mondays for something else.
This is all about you all as a community for me. Let me hear you! 👇
Cheers!
Tim

I really did not expect my suggestions to pop up like that lol! I shall continue to preach my love for that gem of a musical! 🤌✨😌
I was planning to wait to suggest this (although, until when, I'm not sure): Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 The show written from a small portion of War & Peace, entirely sung through, and it's wildly underrated. The genre changes in it would have you floored. I can't say enough about it, ever. I have every animatic available for it compiled & subtitled, but if you're okay with watching bootleg footage, I could fill in the parts with no visuals.
I am personally not at all interested in musicals outside of like 1 or 2, and even then I have a good chance of not watching those. But it seems like at least a decent number are still interested in Musical reactions, so if you get rid of Musical Theater Mondays, I think the new theme should be open to Musicals still being picked.
Yes! Absolutely keep MT Mondays! I love musicals and I love watching your reactions to them! I have never seen the prince of Egypt Broadway version but that is one of my favorite soundtracks of all time so I think that would be amazing. Another vote of mine would be Hunchback of Notre Dame on broadway
Would love to see more musicals. Given your profession, I just assume youve seen them all. Id still love a deepdive on them though. Like hamilton, In the heights and Les mis.
The weird thing about it is that I've taught music from most musicals over the last couple decades, but I've been so busy teaching with so many students that I rarely wanted to go out to see shows after I was done with an eight hour teaching day. So believe it or not a lot of these shows I haven't seen before, in full at least.
I have suggested several musicals but have gotten no traction from you on any of them.
I’m definitely here for any and all musicals. Come From Away or Next to Normal would be my first picks. Would also love to see Miss Saigon or Color Purple and more Phantom content
Good day Shani how how are yiu doing today b? I hope yiu are having a great day
But yes, Hadestown would be awesome next
I love Musical Mondays. I know they aren't theater but I'd love to see you react to some of my favorite musicals like Labyrinth (David Bowie) or Sister Act. I don't know how you feel about princess movies but Whitney Houston and Brandi's Cinderella would be interesting. I feel like there's a good mix of theatre and contemporary sounds there
I love Brandi’s Cinderella
I’m still a bit new around here but I love that you do musical Mondays and hope to see them continue! I would vote Waitress, Hadestown, or Come From Away.
I would love for the musicals to stay I absolutely love anything starkid as well as hadestown, very big interests of mine, for starkid I also recommend Cinderella's castle, though there is some vulgar humour the singing goes so hard I've listened to the tracks for hours on end
Musical Mondays were the themed day I was looking forward to (in addition to TADC for Sinful Saturdays) when you announced themed days. I went through and liked some of the comments with specific suggestions, but The Hatchetfield Trilogy, Twisted by Starkid, or Waitress would be my votes for specific ones!
I am not interested in the musicals, so I vote to replace them. But looking a the comments there are some people who are. If there are enough people like me who want something else may I suggest keeping the musical stuff to like the 1st Monday of the month or maybe every-other Monday? To keep those musical lovers happy too. What I'd like to see in its place would be to use the day as a deep dive of one particular artist (or Vtuber *wink*wink*) by listening to a number of there works. That way you could analyze them by comparing and contrasting from a larger sample size then one piece.
Could call it Mono-artist Monday
Id also love to see wicked for good done!
Replace it with more kpop please. Most of us are here for just one band so even though you’re doing a great job doing lots of kpop, I’m only watching your ATEEZ stuff and it’s a little sparse for me here. 🥲
I don’t really watch musical myself (i did watch your death note musical reaction tho), so I’m fine if you want to do something else, I think you can just choose whatever you’re more interested in!
Yes please continue musical Mondays! Especially the long form videos of reacting to musicals/movie musicals in full
Hello 👋 friend how are you doing? I hope yiu are having a wonderful day
I would vote Hadestown, however, there’s actually gonna be an official pro shot released this summer so I would say wait to react to that!
Yesss!!!! I would love more musical videos💖 I feel I would love your commentary I personally love Hadestown I think that would be an amazing time!!!🫶
I don't like musicals so I would say no, but if most people want them then fair. I love Death Note and I'm not even watching that musical, they bore me I'm so sorry! But I hope for all musical lovers they get a day if they need it <3
If there isn’t enough interest in keeping the musical theater day. My suggestion would be to do like 2 deep dives from the previous week’s live stream that stood out to you. So it wouldn’t potentially take away a suggested songs recommendation from Patreon. Could be called like “Deep Dive Monday” or “Twitch’s Deep Dive Monday”.
I haven't watched The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals yet but I've also heard the whole trilogy is a good watch. Also from Starkid I have enjoyed a few others: Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier The Trail to Oregon! Firebringer There's also TinCanBros who did Spies Are Forever and Flop Stoppers which are available on their youtube and This Could Be On Broadway but I'm not sure where you can find this one.
I absolutely love musicals!! Hadestown is a favourite of mine, but Waitress or Come From Away would be awesome too.
Hello 👋 friend ..how are you doing today
Keep it and I don't know if you would have these in some other category but what about A Hard Days Night and Help by The Beatles?
Of course I'd love Musical Theatre Mondays to continue! Death Note the Musical has been so fun. Like I said The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals or anything else Starkid would be amazing but I'd be on board for pretty much anything. Someone else mentioned Beetlejuice, that could be cool too!
I like the Musical mondays but if you dont want to dive into another musical while you catch up with death note it might also be fun to just make it a bit of a Wildcard day in the meantime where you maybe do some single song musical stuff but also just some of the other suggestions that dont fit in any of the categories. I imagine it would be super fun to just go completly random and spin a wheel or something to pick a suggestion by random. Just an idea but I thought I would throw it out there😊😂
Hi, like Victoria I’m also a first time commenter. But I’ve only been a Patreon for about three weeks. Always have musicals. Never cancel them 😊 I do agree that Avenue Q is great. If you want to go into that long but relatively past archives the production of Pippin that is available online with Ben Vereen and William Katt is incredible. more recent productions I would like to see Waitress. As the Broadway production had Kimiko Glenn who is currently Niffty in Hazbin Hotel. Finally, I would also suggest Beetlejuice. Anyway, loving the channel. Can’t wait to do live streams. Thank you. Bye
Not me thinking for a full 2 seconds that there is a straykids musical😂😂
My favorite musical is "Avenue Q" but I'm not sure where to get a copy. The one on YouTube is not a good one. My second choice is Come From Away.
Obviously I would love you to continue musical Mondays. Honestly I'm down for anything, I don't tend to have time to check out musicals so mondays are fun. I would like 'the guy who didn't like musicals' but won't complain with any of the other suggestions
I don't comment on everything but I do watch everything. Musicals are fun man! Also... how can anyone say no to SHREK.
I would not mind watching shrek
First time commenter, long (okay, a few months) time watcher. lol 1. I absolutely adore musicals and would loooooove for there to be musical dedicated days. 2. I have to second The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals (it's so good and is described as theater kids making fun of theater kids. They recently did a reprise of it and I can't wait for that proshot.) As well as Shrek (also unironically so good). Come From Away is fanTASTIC, and for me emotional.
Yes please!!! Obviously I want waitress lol. But I’d also love next to normal.
