Recently rewatched the Bonnie and Clyde proshot and was wondering if anyone here was either in the audience when it was filmed or knows how it was filmed? My friend and I both noticed the props in the background moving every other cut. I don’t just mean in between songs, the props are moving around mid songs which puzzled us as to how it was filmed. For example mis song, the lampshade will be knocked off centre and the next cut it will be knocked the other way. Or, the jug of water in the background was changing the amount in it every other line!

A few theories we came up with was that they filmed over multiple days and picked the best cuts from each day and put them together, or that they filmed everything really out of order (which seemed unlikely to us).

If anybody knows how it was filmed please let me know! It’s got me really curious.

Anyone wanna chat about their hopes and million dreams for the live show?

I feel like the Balladeer’s songs aren’t that far off from educational songs you’d hear on Schoolhouse Rock.

Maybe even do something where the Balladeer is animated and the other eight assassins are reacting to him (sort of like the animated bits from Avenue Q but more interactive)? The actor voicing him could come onstage as Lee Harvey Oswald at the end.

Exactly what it says on the tin. I’ve watched my fair share of musicals, but I’m definitely not as seasoned as a lot of people in this subreddit. I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of standout tracks for musicals that I haven’t watched yet.

You might ask: “why not just listen to more musicals?”

The thing is, I only really check out a musical if I first find out a song or two I like from the soundtrack. That, and whichever shows stop by my city, which limits me a lot I think.

For reference, these are the musicals I’ve watched/known about so far:

- RENT
- The Greatest Showman
- Les Miserables
- Dear Evan Hansen
- Heathers
- Hadestown
- Hamilton
- Wicked
- Phantom of the Opera
- Waitress
- Epic
- A bit of Great Gatsby
- A bit of Miss Saigon

Edit: Man I love y’all, thanks so much for the recs! I’m putting these all in a playlist and I can’t wait to listen to them all!!!

so with halloween coming up I'm wondering what your favorite horror themed musical is. mine is rocky horror. i was just at a screening last saturday

One of Into the Woods’ theme is family and consequences, and several characters die in Act II, and most mothers in the musicals were among the dead (though some people think the stepmother died off-screen from hunger or the giantess). The Baker’s wife was crushed by a tree, Jack’s mum was killed by the steward, Red Riding Hood’s mother is crushed by the giantess, and Rapunzel was also squashed by aforementioned giantess cuz she bore twins near the end of Act I (but not in the 2014 film where Disney sweetened her fate so she lives). The witch disappears (but we kinda don’t know if she’s alive or dead)

I'm watching West side story (2021) (mainly because my Mike faist crush is back after watching 'East of Eden' 🤭) and I completely forgot Maria sleeps with Tony AFTER HE KILLED HER BROTHER ! Literally wtf 😭 anyways I am not a violent person but that slap and intense song was very necessary and Anita is a queen 🙌

what musical makes you feel like this while you listen. For me it is the Frankenstein musical. every song feels like the composer and entire orchestra decided to play an orchestra with the same rage and vigor as ratm in the prime.

I’m going to Halloween karaoke tomorrow night, and I’m looking for some good song suggestions.

Ideas:
* anything Rocky horror
* anything from the smile two soundtrack
* no good deed goes unpunished from wicked
* the ballad of Sweeney Todd
* anything from Beetlejuice

Preferably something easy to learn quick

Hi everyone! I'm gonna be auditioning for Elle Woods soon and I was hoping someone might have good song ideas. I was thinking of singing "Don't rain on my parade" cause that's kinda my go to song but I'm not sure if it would fit the character... another idea I had was to sing "Poupular" from Wicked since it's in Elle's range or something from Mean Girls. Any suggestions?

I'm a big fan of Paris the musical by Jon English. Does anyone know any information on where to find the 2017 version that was in Melbourne?

my semi-ex-christian family has this interesting tradition where we watch Jesus Christ Superstar on Good Friday. I'm curious if anyone else watches it around this same time?
