James Potter never lived in a world without Lily. She was born first and died second.
-Melchior nervously tucks his shirt in when Wendla turns away to explore his ‘private place for thinking.’
-In the same scene only in the Broadway staging, Melchior follows Wendla all around the ‘tree’ trying to catch her attention, but of course she can’t hear so she keeps walking around
-Hanschen turns to Ernst’s voice and shushes him when he laughs during the vineyard scene
-Hanschen looks back (kind of ominously?) at Ernst’s voice when he walks off with Ernst
-Hanschen is super shady obv- he laughs with the teacher at Moritz’s mistake, and sarcastically slow-claps while walking across the stage after Melchior flips everyone off in the end of ‘Totally Fucked’
-During the pre-show warm-up, the actors start slowly transforming into their characters after they put their costumes on. Daniel Durant walks nervously with bowed legs as Moritz; Andy stands in the corner and glares out at the audience as Hanschen; the sisters Thea and Melitta stroll together as a pair; Otto walks around adorably in his sailor outfit while practicing verbalizing words..
-Melchior stares at Wendla very intensely all through Mama Who Bore Me
-Krysta operates the spotlight on the actors. Also she has a really cute sort of dressing room with a lamp and drawings on the wall if you look up to the left
-Moritz occasionally looks over at his voice like ‘wtf?’ when Ilse talks about the shit that went down in Priapia, and his voice shrugs back like ‘I have no idea dude.’ Also Ilse seems to have a bit of a rougher time communicating with Moritz in ASL.
-When Ilse suddenly shows up and makes Moritz drop his gun in surprise, his voice grabs it and hides it in his pocket. Later when Ilse leaves, Moritz gestures for his voice to give it back. Then he covers his voice’s microphone and lowers it. His voice lowers his head and walks away slowly.
-On a different note, the way Austin pronounces NO THANK YOU (like nho tHank hyou) to his bullies at the reformatory fascinates me.
Anyone else notice some things that one-time viewers might miss/might want to look out for..?
I’ve been getting a few messages recently about any DWSA boots so I’ve decided to compile all the links I have! None of these recordings or links are mine & if they are yours & you would like them removed just send me an ask!

but there’s nowhere to hide from the ghost in my mind it’s cold in these bones of a man and a child and there’s no one who knows and there’s nowhere to go there’s no one to see who can see to my soul
I’m so happy this post exists
