By coincidence, I just watched Moulin Rouge this weekend!
I should say rewatched. I've seen this film a good six or seven times by now, and basically agree with everything you said, except that it took me maybe 60 seconds for me to realize I was going to love this one. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it.

The music! The beauty of it! The excess! I swoon.
And I am very curious about the recent Broadway adaptation. I certainly loved hearing some Beyonce in the new Sparkling Diamond mashup. Never had the chance to see Moulin Rouge with an audience, but dang, I think it'd be fun.

when I graduated high school, we had a dry grad with various activities to keep us all occupied until 5am; I literally just ran the karaoke station the whole time. sang a lot of adele, badly.

continuing that tradition (with slightly more vocal skill than I had in high school):
Right as Rain

There are few things quite as wonderful to observe as someone watching The Princess Bride for the first time.

A little something from the world of Canadian musical theatre. Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story is a "sumptuous Klezmer-folk music-theatre hybrid" and it is very, very good.

Now that's an opinion I can get behind. I haven't kept up with these here Star Wars, but I enjoyed listening to Jonathan Mann follow up his infinitely catchy Baby Yoda song with this:

hey gang! had a minute and thought I'd drop by with some more Disney.

also, while I'm here: Boter, I highly respect that you are continuing to innovate in this thread. You get a heck yeah for bringing Rock Band into this.

YouTube's content ID system aside (yes, it's the worst, we're in a bad timeline, etc.), you sounded wonderful, and that's what matters.

Oooh "Therapy" turned out so good! And thank you Abbs—you're fucking amazing.
Also, I love that I (a sad excuse for an alto) am in a place where I get to sing the high parts. It's way fun.

ha okay! it's a deal! do you want jonathan's part or susan's?!

anyone with confusion about my name can, of course, refer to the introduction thread.
and if you don't know, now you know.

(Boter, you and Steph should absolutely do this one. Imma do it with Teague.)

APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE

Boter: The Tango Maureen is so fun! Excellent, excellent choice. In fact, excellent choices all 'round. And I'm including Thrift Shop in this assessment; I love the variety.

Regan: This is exactly the place to sing all the parts and that was wonderful. RIDE OR DIE.
And David Bowie in Dr. Horrible would have been heckin' amazing, so...

Henry: YEEESSSS THE BATTLE OF YORKTOWN, CLAPS FOR YOU
and never apologize for the guitar, we love the guitar

BDA: Way to straight up bring out Chess, that is awesome and QUITE GOOD IN FACT. And though I know nothing about The Devil's Carnival, it makes me hope that when you join us, you do a villain song. You've got a good voice for a villain song.

I just want to drop in and say OBVIOUSLY this is great, you are all great, goddamn it I love you guys. I am going to bed but will listen properly to everyone tomorrow.

And while I could not participate immediately (I'm vlogging every day in September, fam, I can only produce so much video content in a day) you can bet there will be an Alice in this thread at some point. Singing with little skill and great enthusiasm.
