Who Keeps Letting Riverdale Make Muscials? *RIVERDALE HEDWIG* 

You can see the pain in Cole Sprouse’s eyes when he is forced to sing

No one: Literally nobody: Riverdale writers: **make jug and Betty hiss at eachother**

"we're generation z" me a gen z: ew shut up

OMG i have the perfect musical for riverdale to perform: CATS

Riverdale writers: yea so Kevin’s gay so let’s just make him cross-dress, that’s close enough to a trans women, right?? Also Riverdale writers: using a song about a botched sex-change surgery in an argument between two straight couples is appropriate, right?? For a show that tries to be so inclusive they really have no fuckin clue what they’re doing 90% of the time

damn Cole got through his whole disney childhood without singing and now hes gotta do this shit.

"we're generationz" the whole cast: almost 30 ??????

Kevin giving his speech to mister honey is mister shue arguing he has to twerk with his underage students

no one: literally no one at all: riverdale writers: let’s make more musical episodes!

"riverdale is a tik tok pov" wasn't the hot take we wanted or expected, but it was the one we needed

At this point I’m worried that the cast is being held hostage and are forced to continue the show until someone just finally cancels it..

can the costume department get veronica sum casual clothes she's wearing a pearl necklace in pjs i-

“We are gen z” no one working on this show is gen z.

Nobody: Not even Jason's ghost: Not even Jugheads beanie: Not even Veronicas Daddy: Riverdale: "We ArE gEn Z" .........And this is why they hate us

they did hedwig with no trans characters so now i'm scared they're gonna take their one or two black characters and do hairspray

“He spends too much time narrating and that’s why he’s failing” if only she knew💀

Riverdale: it speaks to our entire generation... we are generation z Gen z: wHaT iF tHe DiShEs wAsHeD yOu?

nothing pains me more than a man pushing 30 saying "we are generation z"

It's not actually weird because all the actors are clearly adults, but you can't try to villianize a principal who doesnt want the teenagers to perform extremely sexualized and in corsets etc. I'm on his side. If I was attending the show I'd also be like hey yeah can you not try to make the minors sexy thanks

it’s really offensive how they turned one of the biggest trans gender musicals that broke down doors for the trans community into a drag show when one of the biggest struggles trans women go threw is the fact that there considered a man in a wig and makeup like a drag queen and this episode literally is that stereotypical shit and it’s so bad like there are so many talented and befuddled trans actresses like most of the. you can even tell we trans and yet they decide to turn the musical into a drag show uhhh i hate it

“this song is a little softer, better for their voices” *honey, you got a big storm coming*

“I guess death just changes a person” omg not the “i’m weird, I’m a weirdo” scene again please stop

literally trin has a full on kind of serious rant about their voices and the connection then just started dancing

"him saying this, about to sing a song from a musical about a trans woman, while also not having a trans character on the show. i can't stand it." God yes blow OFF.

I have a feeling that the whole Kevin’s Generation Z speech was a cry for help. “We are numb but also screaming inside, listen to us” it’s the cast asking for help!!!!

the only thing that gives me hope is how much the actors hate it

"We are.. Generation Z" All jokes aside, are we gonna act like the same character, in the first episode, didn't say they were Millenials? 😂

I just hate how much Riverdale tries to be "woke" and stuff. It just comes out so cringey. Pile that on top of their kids bop voices and the terrible writing and it just becomes a shitty show. Idk how this show has people that actually enjoy it. It's so bad.

Poor Casey. He only gets a proper storyline when it’s a musical episode

Riverdale needs to chill it's like they're trying to be Glee

Here’s to ronaaay, and arrrrchieee, and bEtty, and JUGHEAD,and ChoNi,anD rEgGiE,aNd mEeeeeeee

The whole point of the episode was JUST to get Archie and Betty to kiss...

“darren criss isn’t in this so i don’t give a shit” *starkid stans have entered the chat*

“we’re generation z” ...aren’t y’all like 30?

One thing that I heard about Riverdale musicals is that for harmonies they don't put the singers in the studio together to harmonize, they record them all separately and then just layer them. That's why when they sing as a group it doesn't sound good.

I feel like I'm one of the only people who have actually seen the musical. the musical is basically about a genderfluid (pretty sure) person called Hedwig who was more or less forced to get a sex change but it was botched. Hedwig was left with an inch, it says in one of the songs "a one inch mound of flesh". and that is why it is called Hedwig and the angry inch as well as the band being referred to as the angry inch. so basically it was so not appropriate for Riverdale to do Hedwig. they had to change SOOOO much

The only acceptable actor in any situation is Darren Criss. PERIOD.

I swear if Riverdale even so much as GLANCES at Rocky Horror Picture Show I will SUE

They can't even do hairspray they kicked off the only black character

the way teenagers are singing "come on sugar daddy" to their principal

“He’s failing maybe he should take off that hat and start studying” lol nope he was pretending to be dead for like two months

I just feel bad the actors they didn’t sign up to do musical episodes they just thought this was a normal teen drama

Trin: I'm not a musical fan Also Trin: -goes on a 5 minute tirade about how musicals are about the emotions are the heart of musicals-

"We're people, not numbers. We're Generation Z" Well, yeah. Z is a letter.

I really just want to know why Cheryl says Mr. Honey is queerphobic because he tells her she cant do a song that is about a sugar daddy? How is that queerphobic? And why do the writers of Riverdale insist on placing teenagers in awkward and uncomfortable scenes with very very grown adults? She and her RiVeR ViXeNs are gyrating and hip thrusting all around this man. I understand that they all sounded a lot better singing this musical's songs, but that scene is still inappropriate and weird. Also Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and Archie yelling at each other in that song was funnier than I think it was meant to be.

When she said “if you’re not Darren Criss, get out” I felt that. Cause that’s no cap.

ayo "fun" fact: They erased Jughead being asexual. Jughead is canonically ace in the comics and they erased it for bUgHeAD. Also side note there possibly half siblings btw. They both have the same brother meaning its incest time.

I feel like even when you're watching riverdale with context, you're watching riverdale without context

it’s so upsetting how they use casey cott in riverdale especially in musical episodes.. he KNOWS his way around musical theatre,, he went to carnegie mellon for christ sake! it’s truly a waste of talent,, i hope he has better opportunities in the future to prove himself as an amazing actor AND singer

when i saw "hedwig" in the title, I didn't know it was a musical and just thought about Harry Potter's owl

To get you caught up...basically, jughead pretended to be dead then another principle jumped out the window

as every single musical theatre teacher i’ve ever had has said: when words aren’t enough, you sing. riverdale never uses this role because they’re just scrolling through their script and dropping songs wherever they want. they’re not thinking about the impact or the lead up, they just want the music there

Alternate title: Trin being pro-musical and anti-Riverdale for 26 minutes and 23 seconds

Can we talk about how pretty Trin’s hair is? Like, I’m always appreciating how pretty and soft it looks. Girl, what do you use?

ARCHIE CANNOT SING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY IS HE THE “SINGER” IN THE SHOW😂💀

i would also cheat on jughead if he had a singing outburst like that

Glee was wack but the good kind and they did it on purpose. They also chose songs that would suit the actors voice. Like Quinn: she had a really soft voice and couldn't belt like Rachel, but songs like "I feel pretty" were absolutely amazing for her and are memorable because of it.

when she said "who is showing up to their door HANNAH BAKER", I died and clicked that subscribe button I can't bruhh

"Tastes like betrayment" Betrayment. I love you

The fact that "Riverdale" continues but "Deadly Class" gets cancelled is the biggest crime in TV history

“Speaks to my entire generation” Riverdale - no transgender characters

i can't speak for the other actors, but casey's theatrically trained - he did community theatre and went to carnegie mellon! also his brother corey is like a big deal in the broadway world

Trin: "Like I know what's going on but at the same time I dont know what's going on." Riverdale writers: Ha ha....same.

I'm suing whoever wrote the part where Betty and Jughead hiss

they think they are rachel berry but they are sugar motta.

I swear to god if they do Beetlejuice I will break their kneecaps they will NOT ruin my favorite musical

I hate how much I’m cringing at this show without even watching. The fact that not even Trin can save this is a baaaaaaad sign

Riverdale's head writer, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, actually worked on glee as a writer from 2011-2014😬 so I blame him for some of Glee's ridiculous storylines and Riverdale's musical episodes that no one asked for lol

How does riverdale has 5 seasons and 0 character development

I have that part “i thought I’d be your dorm husband” memorized because it’s hilariously bad

Les miserables is one of my favourite musical movies, and Anne Hathaway did "I dreamed a dream" with sooooooooo much emotion. The way she sang it always makes me cry.

that "that is so queerphobic" line made me groan out loud i hate this show

the reason why their voices don’t sound good together is bc they were probably recorded separately and not properly mixed

riverdale: is a show for basic teenage girls also riverdale: let's do Hedwig and the Angry Inch

"We're Generation Z" *throws up* 😂 honesty, same reaction from me and I'm generation z lol

No one: No one ever: Archies eyebrows season 3:red Archies eyebrows season 4: brown

*Riverdale is a self aware joke at this point*

“that tastes like betrayment” trin said with her whole chest “betrayment” 3 times.... instead of betrayal!!! this is why i love you trin

"everyones kissed eachother" Me: except for Jughead andArchie

why did this dude kevin give a whole speech about the oppression of his generation because his principal didn't like this musical idea.

When you realise trin has missed: Cheryl’s dead twin’s corpse in their basement and Cheryl talking to it. Toni killing cheryls uncle, The supposed spirit of cheryls dead triplet which she apparently “absorbed in the womb” haunting them through a doll, which turned out to be cheryl’s mum tryna mess with her, Jughead moving schools and then being locked in a coffin in one episode, two of the teachers nose diving out the window, them trying to kill jughead and him pretending to be dead and fooling the whole town, Betty and archie pretending to be together to make people believe Jughead really was dead, Edgar Evernever trying to escape to space in a rocket but alice shoots him. Betty’s new mystery brother Charles works for the fbi but is secretly in a relationship with chic who is in prison who used to pretend to be bettys brother, Evelyn Evernever hypnotising people through the phone to try and kill Betty, and archie trying to take down a drug lord coz he thinks he’s batman. And all of this was only the first half of season 4😳

They talk about them being from generation Z but i swear this show is set in the 80s??

RIVERDALE SHOULD HAVE ENDED AFTER S1 that was the only decent season 😶😂

"Who is showing up to their door and giving them tapes?!?!? Hannah Baker?" *13 reasons why has entered the chat*

Who is showing up to there door and giving them tapes HaNnAh BaKeR?

Riverdale needs to get their musical rights revoked. 🤢

Nobody: Not a soul: Trin: have I mentioned my love for Darren Criss lately?

Riverdale is like a 2010 Wattpad wet dream

They all act like the principal is insane for not letting high schoolers perform a non kid friendly musical in a highschool like the principal seems like the sane person in riverdale right now

how could you not react to “this is for ronnie, and archie, and betty, and.... jUghead”

Is no one gonna talk about how in Carrie kevin said there is nothing I hate more then underaged and overages casting

So I found that the creator of riverdale wrote like 5 episodes of glee so I guess he wants to relive those days and omg

no one: rivedale writers: let's make absolutely no sense

When they started hissing at eachother i LOST ITKSSJSJS

Blaine was written to have an eye injury in season 3 of glee so that he could perform in Hedwig without compromising filming

Watching all six seasons of Glee has qualified me to judge Riverdale's off putting musical episodes

PS: The whole seducing their principal thing isn't the first sexualization of herself that Cheryl has done. They had this incredibly dirty choreo to a pop song when cheer leading, earlier this season. Also, note that their coach was against it and they locked their coach up during the match. It's disturbing at this point, they are supposed to be minors for crying out loud.

riverdale is supposed to have so much representation, but there's three important LGBTQ characters. one of them is crazy (cheryl) and actually needs help, another one was first shown as a criminal and then there's the cis gay playing a trans character. also, kevin shows up twice every season. then there's characters they just throw at it so Kevin has a relationship

"It's like tik tok pov acting." TRIN YES EXACTLY THAT IS WHAT THE ENTIRE SHOW IS BAJAKAKAJA AIM IM FUCKING WEAK.

When Kevin said “we’re generation z” I have never been so disappointed to be part of gen z 😭😰
