bare: A Pop Opera - No Voice

[@blueyskinks1092]

what really upsets me is that this musical was written 18 years ago and the entire story is still very possible

[@elijahbowen1401]

Jfc... I didn’t know it was written that long ago. It breaks my heart to think about the number of stories like this that happened in all of the years after this. Just the number of lgbtq+ kids who have committed suicide since 2000... I wish that more people had truly heard the message of this show. I still wish they would.

[@veronicaz2929]

Honestly, I. Can understand why Jason was so desperate of hiding until graduation so they could run off he was scared and he knew their parents wouldn't accept them and the church would turn them down so he wanted to wait until after graduation to run off and not look back to people who hurt them but I can also understand Peter who wanted change the way the church saw them and wanted to be free

[@ohlookitsjesus9114]

During the production of bare I saw in the final part of the song they started reading out the names of children who had commited suicide because of thier sexuality and it still breaks me :(

OOF. I just started this show and I may have to suggest this to our director. The idea alone is a gut punch holy shit.

[@kore2151]

NADIA Dear Jason, there will be tears today But we'll get through and you'll be there I'll leave a chair for you, you made it too You held your mystery so close But I knew, I knew your way Never found the words to say Always thought we'd talk one day IVY Dear Jason, you can't begin to know The pain you've caused How do I make sense of what I've gained And what I lost? What a mess, a perfect mess Left alone to sort it out In the sorrow, guilt, and rage I keep coming back to doubt MATT I'd like to start with just a... If we could take a moment... If maybe we were silent... Or we had spoken... [Chorus joins in with Ahh's] I tried to find the words to... Just the right quotation... But I must confess I came up empty CHORUS You alone the Lord most holy You alone the Lord most high Hear us now, steer our hearts And grant our prayers We bare them in Your name Make us one with all, God, in Your name PETER Dear Jason, how did a simple love get complicated? Days crawl by, I ask myself again Should I have waited? In a world that's quick to judge I will try to understand It's so hard to find your way When you have no voice to guide you CHORUS No voice, no sound No sound, no words No words, no songs No songs, no heart One heart, one love One love, one life One life, one truth One truth, one life One voice!

[@meganthememe130]

I'm a closeted lesbian in a catholic household. And my best friend in middle school killed himself when he was 14 because he knew his family would never accept him being gay. This happened in 2017. I hate that these events are still so common.

[@gstepht8561]

"I'd like so start with just a... If we could take a moment... If maybe we were silent, or we have spoken. I tried at find the words to... just the right quotation... But I must admit I came up empty." I don't know why, but these lines break my heart.

[@philspence3073]

those lines were said by Matt Lloyd, the man who (Due to his blatant bullying, abuse and homophobia) was responsible for Jason's death. Jason already struggled at home with his father (In the 2012 re-write of the musical; we hear just how abusive Jason's father is) and Matt's bullying wasn't helping matters. Jason thought that the only way out was suicide.

[@aylingaligani5366]

@@philspence3073 Actually, no, i don't think so????? I mean yeah, Matt did have homophobia because of what he learnt in church, but we can kinda see that he's not sure of it either in "Confession" where he question if "a sin can be right". Plus, what he did that REALLY hurt Jason, was telling everyone about he and Peter being together. But he didn't do it because he was homophobic, he did it cause he was in love with Ivy and he though that Jason was just playing with her feelings at lying, he didn't actually understand why Jason hidded it. Not at least until this moment, when he realice that he made a big BIG mistake at doing such a impulsive thing and he's so upset that he doesn't even know what to say... I see it that way, I don't know

[@hannahs5454]

My best friends and I saw a small company preform this beautiful musical. It was in a church, and the first row of seats were reserved for the preformers. At the end of this song once the whole cast sings together, they were standing in front of the first row of seats. My best friends and I were second row, Nadia and Ivy were infront of us. Nadia was crying so hard and Ivy cried silently. We balled, but before that we were crying. Just seeing them get so involved in this musical and them crying made us sob.

[@BadarKite]

I am so happy to have gotten to work on this show in Tulsa with a wonderful cast. This show touched me and so many more.

I don't understand why we can't treat gay marriage and LGBT relationships like straight relationships love is love it's all the same. skin color shouldn't matter what gender you are shouldn't matter if you love someone you love them and people shouldn't criticize love because it's beautiful and pure when it's true love

This is so beautiful. And I didn’t really like Matt’s part until recently. Like the, “If we were silent.” Because he regrets telling everyone. “Or if we had spoken.” To tell Jason that they still loved and cared about him.

Yup...Still as devistating as ever. Every now and then I like to check back in, you know- when I feel like having my heart ripped out and torn to shreds - can confirm this is still up to the task. So haunting and devistatingly beautiful. This show just takes my breath away every time I listen to it.

A month later: I listened to it again!! I’ve listened to it everyday since I found it. I’ve cried almost every time. The only times I didn’t cry, I either screamed to avoid tears, teared up, or furiously tried to hold in the tears because I was in school listening to it and I didn’t want the teach to be like “are you okay??” Then have to explain that I’m okay but the only reason I’m not okay is because of this musical-
