GD : The Musical - Broney, Queen wasp of the Desert
Hello GD ubermensch one and all. You look amazing, terrific hair. Hi.
So hey, what is Musical Theatre I don't hear you ask? Is it where stupid people who can't hold down normal jobs end up when their income - which I subsidise, I mean they must owe me, WHERE ARE MY TAX DOLLARS THANKS OBAMA - dries up but they're not at a level of criminality which ensures an extended jail term? It's a good question with no clear cut answer.
Let's review some evidence or words.
Musical theatre is a form of theatre that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance. The story and emotional content of the piece – humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through the words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole. Although musical theatre overlaps with other theatrical forms like opera and dance, it may be distinguished by the equal importance given to the music as compared with the dialogue, movement and other elements of the works. Since the early 20th century, musical theatre stage works have generally been called, simply, musicals.
Although music has been a part of dramatic presentations since ancient times, modern Western musical theatre emerged during the 19th century, culminating with the works of Gilbert and Sullivan in Britain and those of Harrigan and Hart in America. These were followed by the numerous Edwardian musical comedies and the musical theatre works of American creators like George M. Cohan. The Princess Theatre musicals and other smart shows like Of Thee I Sing (1931) were artistic steps forward beyond revues and other frothy entertainments of the early 20th century and led to such groundbreaking works as Show Boat (1927) and Oklahoma! (1943). Some of the most famous and iconic musicals through the decades that followed include West Side Story (1957), The Fantasticks (1960), Hair (1967), A Chorus Line (1975), Les Misérables (1985), The Phantom of the Opera (1986), Rent (1994), The Producers (2001) and Wicked (2003).
Musicals are performed all around the world. They may be presented in large venues, such as big budget West End and Broadway theatre productions in London and New York, or in smaller fringe theatre, Off-Broadway or regional theatre productions, on tour, or by amateur groups in schools, theatres and other performance spaces. In addition to Britain and North America, there are vibrant musical theatre scenes in many countries in Europe, Latin America, Australasia and Asia.
A Musical Theatre thing:
Oh yes, quite appropriate. Look at the scenery, the movement, the flavour of the piece. Consider the serenity in sharp contrast to the strong racial overtones of said musical. Could we best this, this amazing piece of music history?
I say yes.
However, we need to be careful. Let us be aware of traitors, those who distort truth. We CAN handle the truth.
A song referencing said Musical Theatre thing:
Nope. I don't think she even likes Musical Theatre. Boo and perhaps hiss.
BUT WHY IS THERE NO ANIME? I WANT A MAGICAL THEATRE WAIFU!
OH OH A CLEVAR CLOGS MASTER ANIMATOR APPEARS!1
Ha, I'm just kidding. Because it sucks. Anime is awful. Shoo. Stop being so bloody awful.
So, uh, anyway, I think we should make a musical. I have two key goals:
(mom, how do I make bullet points I don't eve
1. Kick ass singing by people who can sing.
2. Kick ass acting by people who can act.
I think this could be huge. Huge like a fat diabetic being awesome.
Who's in? Hit me.
