When he does, he sucks it in, making a Darth Vader breathing noise, bugs his eyes out, and cackles hysterically for a second. When he first appears onstage in his Orin outfit, he keeps inhaling nitrous oxide, and he has an inhaler and keeps using it.The black jeans he wears are a little tighter than the Marvin jeans, for reference, and it’s very obvious. He shows off his ass so much-he just sticks it out constantly when he’s playing Orin, whether that’s twerking at the audience, or sitting on his knees with his back arched, or crawling across the floor on his hands and knees (which he does a lot).He plays a very convincing stumbling drunk (he’s very shaky on his feet and his depth perception is really off-it takes him three tries to climb one step).

First of all, let me just say that Christian Borle is an absolute champ. ![]()
