Okay I am *sick* of this

[xp_dazzler]

I cannot anymore. I give up. I admit defeat.

I give in.

I will give $100 to anyone who can explain the plot of Cats to me in a coherent way that I can understand. (It's for a thing. Don't ask). And I don't mean that CGI abomination that came out that we all love to loath. I mean the proper, ALW musical.

Extensive amounts of alcohol and possibly opium as well.

Honestly that's what I'm gathering lol

I just... have a headache.

The alcohol bit's known. The opium was more Eliot's first wife's thing, but I wouldn't be surprised that he had his own cough syrup on the reg.

I.. I mean, this explains a lot? But does not actually answer the question?

[xp_darcy]

Eliot was a drunkard that wrote nonsensical verse about cats for the kiddies, and ALW has never met a challenge that he wouldn't musically say "Come at me, bro" to. (See also: Starlight Express)

Oh christ I'd forgotten about that.

Thank you for the reminder. I'll be billing you for my therapy.

I didn't even mention Bad Cinderella! (Although the book for that isn't nearly as bad as the poor showing says it is, imo.) Or Whistle Down the Wind!

[xp_cypher]

Ah yes, Starlight Express, the musical that dared to ask...

What if trains were horny?

Thomas The Twink Engine

I'm sorry darling, you're a little too old to be a twink these days.

[xp_dazzler]

I hate you both <3

We can talk Evita instead, that's one of his genius musicals.
