[SHITTY BROADWAY: IT'S LIKE BROADWAY, BUT WORSE!]
The floorboards of Broadway are graced daily by true triple threats: performers who can kick their face, belt their face off, and act... with their face. They're absolutely incredible. And we are not those people.
We all love musical theatre, but Broadway isn't exactly banging down our doors. So we've created a cabaret show to celebrate what we love about it all in our own unique way. Join us and special guests for an evening of music, comedy, and musical comedy in our [shitty] tribute to the Great White Way!

Curt and Owen fighting over who’s betrayal was worse than the other

[@AngelofMusic04]

Owen's was undeniably worst. Faked his death, established a lethal alternate persona that murdered thousand of young women to establish a pattern and aligned with easily manipulated Nazis to hoodwink them and destroy any semblance of privacy in the world as a universe sized middle finger to his boyfriend. Curt was a careless dumbass who contributed to a bad situation by leaving leftover food on the floor.

Preach.

This is the first time I have ever heard Joey Richter sing kinda seriously

[@radxianixe]

he's sang seriously a lot of times already? but yeah i see what you mean 🤣

[@katielehuta7483]

Agree! He always takes his singing seriously, but I think this is the first time we've really heard him singing something without a character voice (Mutant Ox, Bug, etc).

you mean 3 minutes gay?

[@CusterDawg]

Amazing choreography by Lauren. The use of movement in the song made for some really comedic moments. The singing was again fantastic and the performance was a perfect match. I really can't wait for the October show.

[@lominary]

I KNOW THIS ISN'T EXACTLY SPIES CONTENT BUT IT CAN COUNT. CAUSE I JUST IMAGINED AGENT CURT MEGA AND OWEN CARVOUR SINGING THIS THE ENTIRE TIME AND I JUST LOVE IT EVEN MORE. They're just sad boys traumatized by a banana give them a break-

[@gingerspices3469]

Yes, bananas are scary! We should be afraid of the luminous potassium worms

[@lominary]

Rainie Daes Just imagine the two of them screaming at the site of a banana peel- They're both walking past some guy on the street eating a banana then they just smack it out of that person's hands saying something along the lines of: "WHY ARE YOU EATING SUCH A DEVILISH FRUIT. IT'LL KILL YOU."

THE SAD GAYS-

[@slightlyrancidcheese]

At first I forgot what the actual song was and I thought they were singing about each other and I was like damn the gay vibes. But then I remembered and felt stupid but also worth it because Owen and agent mega and my soul is still broken.
