I like how there's more rage in this version. The 2016 one is a lot sadder and she's quietly pissed and this one is outright angry.

I disagree, I actually like the revival portrays trina actually being emotionally not okay and going crazy but with this one she seems extremely pissed but both are great performances
@joelmorris43393 жыл бұрын
@@thekoala2074 Barbara's version is clearly not emotionally ok, but shows it in different ways. We can clearly see she's really feeling sad and helpless underneath all her rage, whereas Stephanie's version is the opposite. I prefer Barbara Walsh's version, although I do love both.

I will always prefer Stephanie J. Block's performance, Barbara Walsh is phenomenal but she just doesn't make me laugh as much as Stephanie does also, she doesn't put as much into the fact that her character is breaking down, when you break down in real life, you try to keep it together yes, but this is being sung from her kitchen in the privacy of her own home and this is in her head and inside your head should be crazy if you are truly breaking down, so the best performance award for me will always go to Stephanie for always entertaining me and making me hold my sides from laughing so much, not just because she's funny but also because I know what it's like to break down, like a lot of people! XD

The original cast album of Falsettos is actually just a two-disc set including both original one-act musicals, March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland. "I'm Breaking Down" was actually featured in the first musical of the trilogy, In Trousers, and it was added back into Falsettos in 1992. Instead of recording a new album, they just released the two-disc set of both original recordings, so "I'm Breaking Down" was left out.

I'd like to be a princess on a throne To have a country I can call my own And a king Who's lusty and requires a fling With a female thing Great, men will be men Let me turn on the gas I caught them in the den with Marvin grabbing Whizzer's ass Oh sure, I'm sure, he's sure he did his best I mean he meant to be what he was not The things he was are things which I forgot He's a queen I'm a queen Where is my crown? I'm breaking down I'm breaking down My life is shitty And my kid seems like an idiot to me I mean that's sick I mean he's great It's me who is the matter Talking madder Than the maddest hatter If I repeat one more word I swear I'll lose my brain Oh, what else should I explain? Oh, yes it's true I can cry on cue But so can you I'm breaking down I'm breaking down Down, down You ask me "Is it fun to cry over nothing?" It is, I'm breaking down Now let's consider what I might do next I hate admitting I've become perplexed I'm bereaved I've cried, I've shook, I've yelled, I've heaved I have been deceived As enemies go Whizzer is not so bad It's just he's so damn happy That it makes me so damn mad I want to hate him but I really can't It's like a nightmare how this all proceeds I hope that Whizzer don't fulfill his needs Don't is wrong Sing along What was the noun? I'm breaking down I'm breaking down I'll soon redecorate these stalls I'd like some padding on the walls And also pills I wanna sleep Sure, things'll probably worsen But it's not like I'm some healthy person I've rethought my talks with Marv And one fact does emerge I think I like his shrink So that is why I might turn to drink I'm on the brink Of breaking down I'm breaking down Down, down I only want to love a man who can love me.... Or like me... Or help me... Help me! Marvin was never mine He took his meetings in the boys' latrine I used to cry He'd make a scene I'd rather die Than dry-clean Marvin's wedding gown I'm breaking down I'm breaking down It's so upsetting when you've found That what's rectangular is round I mean it stinks I mean he's queer And me, I'm just a freak Who needs it maybe every other week I've rethought the fun we've had And one fact does emerge: I've played the foolish clown The almost virgin who sing this dirge Is on the verge Of breaking down I'm breaking down Down, down The only thing that's breaking up is my family The only thing that's breaking up is my family But me, I'm breaking down
