1:40 It's just a little thing, but I actually really liked the detail of Mischa not smiling at this line originally, because Uranium isn't his home town and all. I do like that they still found a spot for him and Noel to dance here, even if it feels less natural than in Fall Fair Suite

[@coyotix]

I like that Ricky sings but still gets moved around by Noel and Mischa at the line “You feel a little strange from all that spinning around”. It’s like they did it almost absentmindedly, not even catching he could speak.

[@moonwalkerangel7008]

Well in the first iteration the fall fair suite, Ricky does not sing at all as well as other versions, so maybe this was one of the few versions that Ricky does sing. Mind you, this was before the characterisation of Ricky was changed to being mute as a result of his dad being killed by a pet snake rather than being unable to speak due to a oontengital deficit disorder that made him mute.

[@finleyforevermore]

​​​@@moonwalkerangel7008Ricky actually sings in the 2015 Chicago version of Fall Fair Suite, but in the most popular iteration of the show (2016 Off-Broadway production), he doesn't, as you mentioned already! And the new characterization thankfully is the alternate script that can be used if an able-bodied actor is playing Ricky. It is not the final/end-all-be-all.

[@theaterkween5791]

despite whatever your fave version of the opening is, I am so happy that they kept the part where they're experiencing the fall together and they go into my favorite melody from the show, "round and round and round" I literally sing it to myself all day.

I don’t know which one I prefer. This, the original Fall fair suite or the newest Uranium suite song. They’re all so good at starting this bone chilling musical

[@MANLIESTMANEVER]

In my opinion, I definitely prefer Fall Fair Suite a ton, but there are ups and downs to both. For me if you are watching it live, or from a slime tutorial, then Fall Fair Suite is better. I prefer the song in generally just music-wise and think it is good at introducing the characters. However, I think Uranium Suite is better if you are just listening to the soundtrack without any other explanations because it provides more information, and I think it fits the message more (mainly because there are very little solo lines in Uranium Suite and they mostly song together, which fits how they were described to have been all put together as "our six angels" by the press. In their finals moments they all sung together, but got to sing for themselves and share their hopes and dreams and such when they got to talk to Karnak) It might not be intentional, and I've only been watching this for a week or so, so idk but I just thought it was a cool detail.

I love how the end of the song contains most of the same lyrics as the first portion but just way more unorganized and just thrown everywhere, it really shows what little comprehension the choir had and that they didn’t yet realize that they were dieing. It really shows exactly how young they were and how their lives were just beginning. But when they start to realize what happened on the roller coaster the lyrics start to change, for example when they start to crash Ocean says “life was about to start” (she used past-tense showing she knows that she has no time left) and Ricky starts to sing and constance was saying “gotta wear shades because it’s so bright” meaning that they “seen the light” so they figure out that their lives are over. It’s kinda upsetting that this wasn’t in the actual musical.

I do tend to enjoy fall fair suite the most but I love the others so much too

[@auntiebarbara9700]

personally, i think that this opening kind of seems more realistic w/ the are we ever going back then a cut off.

[@AlakaAlasaAlaska]

WHAT IS RICKY DOING OMG I LOVE HIM

[@kingworm9429]

Watching Ocean's actress throwing herself around like that is actually so upsetting

[@dihte1628]

Why?

[@kingworm9429]

@@dihte1628 Because that part in the song is representing the choir falling through the air to their death and to them they’re high off the adrenaline which is why it’s such a fun part of the song but the way Ocean’s actress specifically throws herself around like that really reminds you that your watching these children dying :(

[@dihte1628]

@@kingworm9429 true. It looks so goddamn silly, but the symbolism is there. Noel & Mischa holding eachother, Ricky's crutches disappearing & him dancing all silly, etc

[@OliverComer-ei9pm]

"My god, this ride is like my life. Take me up and away, above this small town cliche." THAT LINE SOLD IT FOR ME I also love the choreo for this song🥲

[@hellismurky]

whEre is Noel's microphone (also Ricky's crutches left and came back whAt)

[@moonwalkerangel7008]

I can’t explain Noel’s Mic, but with Ricky, he was originally written as a disabled character with a congenital disorder that left him unable to speak and walk without mobility aids, but aside from the backlash, he was only played by a truly disabled actor ONCE and was fired from the last three shows due to coughing and vomiting up blood and was replaced by his non disabled understudy. The character then underwent a rewrite (not sure how as one of the authors died) but the script and Ricky are now written as a character who is just mute after his father was bitten by a snake.

[@hellismurky]

@@moonwalkerangel7008 i knew that ricky was disabled- i just noticed that in some points in the song he had his crutches, then he didn't, then he did again and that was silly. (also 1. i didn't know one of the authors died what?? 2. that is one of the stupidest things they could have done to erase his disability wtf)

[@finleyforevermore]

​@@hellismurky Neither of the show's writers died, Brooke Maxwell and Jacob Richmond are both very much alive. And as for Ricky's crutches, the situation is basically: this song had an entire verse cut out of the video and while no footage exists, it's possible that his crutches were taken off during the verse that isn't included in the video.

[@hellismurky]

that makes sense- also idk why i thought one of them died- don't trust everything you read on the internet, kids @@finleyforevermore

[@Chromaggia]

Ricky going off the shits

[@liz5946]

i really wanna find more of this ricky

[@izzyp.4611]

They need to record the songs and post them!!!!!!

[@mangotherainwing6866]

The way the moment Ricky moves it means that the kids have died

[@ohmygod5993]
