Everyone who's a member of the Crow's Nest, ignore this thread. It is for the benefit of people who belong to BroadwayWorld. Without further ado, "If BWW Were A Musical!"
Schmerg_The_Impaler:
Who would you cast to play yourself? Who would play some other... notables? What would some of the songs be like?
PiraguaGuy2:
Brian Peppers as Bwayfan
Lin-Manuel Miranda as PiraguaGuy2
Susan Blackwell as Schmerg the Impaler
Schmerg_The_Impaler:
Oooh, I was thinkin' Tyler Maynard in drag for me, but that works, too!
Not so sure about Bwayfan9, though. Brian Peppers can't roller-skate.
BrodyFosse123:
Christopher Sieber as BrodyFosse123
Cheyenne Jackson as Wanna Be A Foster
Scott68:
Baayork Lee as Jay*
Bob Martin as D2
Cheyenne Jackson as Tazber
Elaine Stritch as StageManager2
Schmerg_The_Impaler:
Some of the songs:
"Emma Zaks"-- To the tune of "The Ballad of Czolgosz" from Assassins.
"Sock Puppet Witch Hunt"-- To the tune of "The Mob Song" from BATB.
"Pickles"-- To no particular tune, as the mods would end the song nearly as soon as it began.
"Everything Coming Up's Closing!"-- To the tune of "Everything's Coming Up Roses."
PiraguaGuy2:
Emma Zaks as MTF3.
BNN:
I was thinking Bailey Hanks for MTF3.
PiraguaGuy2:
No, it’s Emma Zaks for obvious reasons.
Schmerg_The_Impaler:
But casting Bailey Hanks would just be so deliciously devilish! (Do you think she'd able to convincingly play a man?) That would be like casting David Bryant to play me!
I personally have nothing against MTF3 really, but I think he/she should sing a version of "I Speak Six Languages."
PiraguaGuy2:
We're Always Right/LuPwnage!: The Broadway Legends
Why Was I Banned?: SirNotAppearing/PiraguaGuy2 and Spellingbeefan/NGD
THIS IS THE THEATERRRRRRRRRR: Ziegfield
10/10: Jay*
A Love Song for Leigh Ann: Drunk Chita Rivera
Adamgreer:
Kerry Butler as Craig the Moderator!
Schmerg_The_Impaler:
"On November 2nd"-- To the tune of "Welcome To The Sixties" from Hairspray. Performed by Dollypop, naturally.
I think there needs to be a song about a certain hoofed animal of the Bambi variety to the tune of something from "Carrie." Or that cow song from "Batboy."
The important question is, who would Orfeh play?
Weez:
We need a number where the legit sopranos get to kick ass in recognition of non-belters like SporkGoddess and myself (and I know there's more). If we could somehow clone many Kelli O'Haras for that, I would be ENDLESSLY amused.
www.broadwayworld.com/board/readmessage.cfm?boardid=1&boardname=bway&thread=967853 - here we are! We need a song for us please! And if we can't clone Kelli O'Hara, I get dibs on Theresa McCarthy. :3
I reckon the Emma Zaks song would sit better to the Ballad of Booth than the Ballad of Czolgosz.
"What has musical theatre taught *you*, Weez?"
"Well, not only do I know who Leon Czolgosz was and what he's famous for, I also know how to spell it. Sondheim = an education!"
Bwayfan9:
"Drama" -Full Company
"I Luv wikkud and Rent (Reprise)!" Coolkid and the Fangirls
"The Anti Fangirl Song" TooDarnHot
"Closing Night Tickets/ I'm Sorry" Coolkid
"I Luv Wikkud I Love Rent" BeebleBable
"Stupidbeans and Bwayfan9" Broadwaynerd101
"Enough!" Bwafan9
"What the Word Needs Is Weez" Weez
"Let's Just Blame It On Bush" NGD2225, Bwayfan9, LizzzyCurry and Company
"Wikkud is Closing" Full Company
"We Need Some DRAMA!" Bwayfan9
"Stupid Sock" PiruagaGuy2, wicked_beast4
"I Don't Care If I Am Hated" Bwayfan9
"The If BWW Were A Musical Thread" Schmerg_The_Impaler
"(Insert German Phrase Here)"- Musicaltheatrefan3
"Well That is Something We Can All Agree On, Mtf3 SUCKS!" Full Company
Wicked_beast4:
YAY!!!! I get a duet about a dumb sock sock!!!
Can I be played by Jeff Bowen? I LOVE that man!
Schmerg_The_Impaler:
I hear ya, Weez. I'm a non-belter, as well-- though I'm more of a mezzo-soprano who can also do eerily accurate impressions of Michael Ball and Colm Wilkinson. And yeah, Ballad of Booth works better, but there's just something so relentlessly catchy about the Ballad of Czolgosz. And the 'work your way to the head of the line' thing works so beautifully for a reality show contestant.
Awww, bwayfan9... *hugs* I've never heard of anything as sad as the "I Don't Care If I'm Hated" song. Don't you do that to me and my heartstrings!
I'm thinking that my "The If BWW Were A Musical Thread" number would be very Title of Show-ish. Especially if I'm now Susan Blackwell.
How about Steve Blanchard for Broadwaynerd101? Or someone else 'beastly?' Oh, and there needs to be at least one song about Sarah Palin. Preferably one from "Evita."
Mattbrain:
How about a dramatic song for all of the threads that get deleted?
Schmerg_The_Impaler:
How about it's sung to the tune of "Pore Jud Is Daid" from Oklahoma?
There has to be some kind of preteen chatspeak-abusing fangirl song to the tune of "Omigod, You Guys!"
Mattbrain:
How about a song in which, we, the legends sing the praises of composers such as Michael John LaChiusa and Jason Robert Brown to the tune of The Old Red Hills of Home:
God bless the sounds
Of the new Stephen Sondheims
Schmerg_The_Impaler:
Then there ought to also be a song for all of the pathetic newbies like myself. Probably to the tune of "Buenos Aires" or something.
"You wanna know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a clueless teenaged n00b named Schmergy!"
Trekkie2:
In the lobby, we'll sell our "Bryan sings" CD series, feating Bryan performing the scores to Cry-Baby, and all other shows that "rali ned a csat recordn."
PiraguaGuy2:
And there will be at least 600 threads here about what theatre it will take.
LynneSpock2:
Can I be in the ensemble?
Schmerg_The_Impaler:
Nope, you can't, because you're a "Broadway Star."
You will have a song closely resembling "Diva's Lament" from Spamalot, only instead of being about a star who's shocked by how small her role is, it's about someone who wanted to be in the ensemble and was thrust kicking and screaming into the spotlight.
Schmerg_The_Impaler:
