BEAUTIFUL HOPE ART
dancer hope cladwell. throws this at you and scampers away like a feral animal
Reblogging because anything with Ma Strong mentioned immediately gets me <3
more urinetown headcanons!
ma strong knits.
unfortunately bobby is allergic to wool, and her husband is dead. so.
little sally gets the most charity bc shes a little girl and shes smart so she plays it up but can turn on a dime and kick a man in the shins if he doesnt give her money
nothing you tell me will convince me that little sally does not take immense joy in kicking rich people
hot blades harry and little becky two shoes should host a true crime podcast and then decide whether or not they could have gotten away with the same murder
bobby unironically listens to yodelling and shoegaze exclusively
tiny tom's favorite movie is cars 2
officer lockstock is really good at playing the kazoo
officer barrel plays the irish whistle
these talents, however, are both their respective most shamed secrets, so neither of them know about the other's musical talents
hope is a granola girl
she has the white stanley waterbottle
officer barrel is obsessed with lord of the rings
lockstock is a slight doomsday prepper and has a basement full of canned food and survival supplies
lockstock and barrel watched 12 angry men once together and barrel has never has a better day in his life
bobby strong is scared of children
oh my god someone give that man a kitten to take care of
the poor will collectively take care of each other. they share food, their homes, it's a very tight knit community.
cladwell always has jazz music playing on a record player in his office
hot blades harry cant sleep without a night-light
pennywise was really into candlemaking before the drought
barrel would let someone off the hook and spare them from urinetown in exchange for a puff off their joint
if you're procrastinating, go do the thing, trust me.
wait hold up i need to try this-

IM GOING TO BE THINKING ABOUT THIS FOREVER OH MY GOD
But on a similar note, I’ve always felt like tell her I love her is just such a beautifully poetic song, like sure, there’s the funny moments in it too, but at its core it’s what stirs Hope and the rebels into a full revolution. It’s Bobby’s last dying words to the people he tried so desperately to lead, to SAVE. One line that has always stood out to me specifically was “I’ve lost my sense of sight/and yet I see them” because AUGH isn’t that just so beautiful???? He’s ACTIVELY dying, his senses are failing him one by one but the people he cares so much about are the last thing he sees, and he still has so much hope for these people he JUST had to convince out of killing his girlfriend but he truly believes they can still do it and it just KILLS ME EVERY TIME.
That song has SO MUCH to it, and so do SO MANY OF THE OTHERS, and I just feel like they get looked over so often as “oh funny haha” which yea, but also!!! You can tell there was just so much thought put into this show when you get into it and istg at some point I wanna do a deep dive into the whole script because I feel like there’s a lot that gets missed
i don’t know of a urinetown community on tumblr, but there’s something i noticed on first listen that i can only pray reaches its target audience.
in act one, you get “follow your heart,” (the most gorgeous song in that show, but that’s another post) and every chorus in it ends with “if only you follow your heart.” in act two, during “tell her i love her,” little sally relays bobby’s last words as “if only…”, saying he expired before he could finish his sentence.
you follow your heart. bobby strong was trying to say “there still is hope, i see it in this land / if only you follow your heart.” ouch. i never saw the point in spending too much time on this detail until i was in the show, and i realized nobody else had noticed it.
urinetown is… dumb. yeah, it makes an enormous point about corporate greed and climate change, but it’s a music about peepee. there’s a REASON nobody reads into this nonsense— it isn’t super necessary to putting on a good production. there’s also the fact that so many urinetown lyrics (probably intentionally) are just there to make performers and consumers alike hear them and make a face. i’m completely here for it, don’t get me wrong, but is this one of those hidden nuggets of meaning?
do i need to go outside?
People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.
Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.
