Luckily for Dylan, there still exist a few guillotines in France. There's one at the Museum of the Prefecture of the Police of Paris (only the blade) and at least one more at the National Prison Museum in Fontainebleau. If Dylan asks them nicely, they'll probably bring one of them out just for him.Dylan is correct about something for once.

Dylan: claims to be considering fleeing the USA because it's terrifyingly transphobicOne one these things is not like the others.
One of these things just doesn't belong.
Can you tell me which one is not like the others,
before I finish this song?
Does Dylan realize that the Versace logo is literally Medusa?This is the face of Versace

Who was said to be so hideous that she could turn people to stone?
I can't help but think this is a trolling attempt.
...and the farms has stopped me attaching more photos. They're not very interesting, though. Dylan attended the launch of My Master Builder (Ewan McGregor does Ibsen) at the Wyndam theatre in an inappropriate and far-too-short dress that cost £930/$1240, then went back to New York to attend a "pre-Met Gala cocktail party" in that Versace dress and a drag wig.If you don't know We Aren’t Kids Anymore is basically a song cycle of vignettes from the life of the creator, Drew Gasparini, based on his autobiographical album which found success online. We get songs about relationships, family, childhood, growing up, hopes, disappointments, drugs, and the struggle to make it as a song writer.
The five members of the cast all play Drew as well as other characters in his life, swapping roles between them freely regardless of gender, race, accent etc. which speaks to a kind of universality that the show is aiming for with its slices of life, despite the name Drew being said frequently and it often being specifically about Drew being a song writer who has worked very hard for many years (a point that the show probably mentions one too many times). The creators were apparently struck by the reception of the album and how its personal stories spoke so universally to people. In the words of Gasparini he realised “these were less my songs… They belong to each of us.” The intent is to bring that to the stage.
The real Drew graced the stage after the main show and performed some other songs (very well, a highlight of the evening) and spoke a little about the musical. He said they were trying something new here, that the "hero's journey" had been done enough, we're tired of "through lines", and what we actually want is relatable vignettes of life.
Based on this I’m not sure if that's what audiences will want. I’m not saying it’s a definite no, but I’m unsure. I enjoyed most of the songs, and the performers gave it their all. Melanie La Barrie was particularly good, charismatic and tuneful, and I enjoyed Nigel Harman's performance of his songs too, especially the more delicate ones. The ensemble as a whole wasn't as tight as a fully produced West End show that has had time to bed in, but they had quite a lot of harmonies to sing and had only rehearsed with the director for two weeks, so it's understandable. A couple of moments in songs didn't seem to quite suit the voices, but by and large they were well performed by talented singers.
The onstage band was solid, and the director made the most of a simple set which was pretty much a bench, the performers using the space as much as possible. No dancing to speak of really, but some simple choreography of movement and arrangement creating different layouts, and bringing to life characters such as kids in the songs looking back to childhood. The songs were punctuated by fairly brief sections of dialogue which largely took the form of the voices Drew has heard in his life. His parents worrying about his future, his lovers falling in and out of love with him, his agent promising that his big Hollywood break is coming only for it to evaporate. You might think these would form a narrative but they are more impressionistic; doubtless thoughtfully ordered, but having the effect of the same "vignettes from my life" idea, without a particularly strong feeling of sequencing.
And in my opinion the issue is going to be whether audiences will be satisfied with this vignette concept. I found it a diverting enough evening, approached in the spirit of seeing a new work that's "still marinating" as Gasparini put it. I was never bored in a show that was a sprightly 90 minutes, and there were some standout great songs. That said, it's the third West End show I've seen in the last year or so that's a musical writer writing about themselves being a musical writer. Not surprising I guess in the selfie era, but with that being less of a novel idea on its own these days, the question becomes what makes it stand out and bring in the crowds.
Did Dylan invest in some implants? Those boobs, especially theon on the left, looks very round.
Lush doesn’t have a store there but they do have several in Saudi Arabia.Can Dylan go to Iran next?
Finally answering the eternal question: what does Dylan's nips look like?
It sure looks like some kind of AI (or otherwise) magic is going on there. He's got more meat on his frame in general than he usually does. Only a month or so ago when he leaned over wearing a tank top, we were given a partial view of a pair of tiny pyramid moobs (tacked onto a bony chest) that looked nothing like those round and properly spaced beauties. Maybe he's discreetly pressing them closer a bit? Some kind of shaping tape applied underneath them? But even so, that's a pretty dramatic change. The large areolas look off too. Men (especially not small white men) usually don't have them that large. And look at the Getty pic of him in that white dress. He's not filling out the bust completely there. There's odd puckering and the dart lies weirdly.Did Dylan invest in some implants? Those boobs, especially the one on the left, looks very round.
For me, it's always that nose job. Especially when he smiles. As his cheeks raise and his nostrils widen, it becomes a narrow raptor beak.Woof, that neck!
