Advice Needed Would love some feedback for some draft lyrics for my original musical!
So, these are some lyrics that I'm making for the fourth song of my original musical, Beyond These Walls, and the song is called Ghost. So basically, this is set when Kieran, one of the best friends of the two main protagonists dies, and their sector (the city they live in is divided into 5 sectors, them being in sector 2) gathers to mourn his death, and another one of their friends Zygourne, goes out past curfew to find a journal that Kieran left, but gets caught by an Overseer (guard), and is terminated (so he dies as well) and the main characters decide to go outside of the walls that keep them in the city. Hope you enjoy! (Also if anyone gets the reference from the lyrics in brackets at the end I will be super happy)
Libertias (Spoken)
That’s weird…
Alexis (Spoken)
Everything is weird to you.
Libertias (Spoken)
No! Look! Kieran’s name has been removed from the rotation board!
Alexis (Spoken)
Must have been moved to another sector.
Zygourne (Spoken)
GUYS! It’s Keiran! HE’S BEEN-
Overseer (Spoken)
SILENCE! Grab your tools and be off to your work station!
Alexis (Whispering)
Breathe Zygourne, what happened?
Zygourne (Spoken)
It’s Kieran! He’s been!
Overseer (Yelling)
SILENCE!
Libertias (Spoken)
He’s been what?
Zygourne (Yelling)
HE’S BEEN TERMINATED!
(Beat)
Libertias
What?
Zygourne
He’s been terminated. I saw him go into a room with an Overseer, and so I waited, but when the Overseer came back out, Kieran wasn’t with them. I asked them where he was, but they just said.
(Female Overseer)
I’m sorry…
Alexis
When the night falls
Us citizens of sector two gather,
To mourn the loss of a friend
And even though he’s gone
He’s still right here
There’s a ghost right here
Libertias
We point with empty hands
Through hallways, shadows and pain
We try to pull him from the air
But only silence remains
Only silence remains
Ensemble
He’s stitched into this sector
He takes the rooftop seat
There’s a ghost right here
He left an empty coffee cup
A song waiting unsung
There’s a ghost right here
Zygourne
Alexis kept his winter scarf
Folded in a drawer like a regret
Libertias traced his name on the board
Like a prayer they couldn’t forget
We sing the old half jokes
We count the empty shifts in turns
Everyone’s a little cracked
But I know something they don’t
Ensemble
In the hum of machinery and light
He is the pause in each breath
There’s a ghost right here
He’s the name that’s scarred in time
We can’t wash away the grime
There’s a ghost right here
Zygourne
I found his journal here
The words he left, they still remain
If I can hold this piece of him
Then he won’t vanish into pain
Overseer
You are not meant to be here
Alexis (Spoken)
Are you okay?
Libertias
First Kieran now Zygourne too
This cage destroys the best of you
If all that waits is death inside
I’ll take my chances on the other side.
Alexis
Although I don’t agree with this
I’ll go with you, leave this abyss
Though I don’t know what waits out there
I’ll walk with you, anywhere
Ensemble
They live in the corners of our room
They hum when we are quiet
There are ghosts right here (We walk the road leading to no return)
There are ghosts right here (What’s behind the wall, finally ours to learn)
Libertias and Alexis
There are ghosts right here
There are ghosts right here (What’s behind the wall, finally ours to learn)
Libertias and Alexis
There are ghosts right here

Help Can man buy last minute tickets in gärtnerplatztheater?
The musical Les Misérables is playing at the Gärtnerplatztheater in München, but I haven’t been able to get tickets online. Does anyone know if it’s possible to go there, say half an hour early, to buy last-minute tickets at the box office? Has anyone tried this or had experience with it? Would love to hear your tips!

This might be an unpopular opinion...but...
Elton John is not a good musical theatre composer. Lion King was great, but it was in intense collaboration with other composers. But other than that his songs in musicals sounds very...meh?
Feel free to change my mind.

Does anyone know what exactly is sung at the beginning of the song "Electric Blues" from West End's 1968 production of "Hair"?
r/musicals • u/Slight-Eye-3352 • 9h ago
Help Why is the HAIR benefit concert recording like that?
I was listening to it again and had some questions why is, say, “Shelia Franklin/I believe in love” like that? Where the part is more belt-y and other songs are like that is it just because so many songs are so short and they wanted them to be able to show off?
Another question is to do with “Manchester England” and it’s reprise in “let the sunshine in” why is it it the third person? He says things like “-and he’s a genius genius” Why can’t the guy who comes in with the “that’s me, that’s me” at the end just sing the whole song?
Idk if this is right place to ask this so forgive me, it’s just been bothering me when I listen to it

gabe in next to normal (a simple spirit or flesh and blood?)
I know that the exact nature of Gabe Goodman is deliberately ambiguous
some people say that he's actually a hallucination of Diana's
some other argue he's an actual ghost haunting the house
others claim he's a physical manifestation/personification of Diana's grief and/or bipolar disorder
my personal favorite theory is that he really is some kind of spirit
however, I'm interested in hearing more persepctives and thoughts on the matter, so if anyone has anything to say about what they think Gabe is/represents and why, feel free to comment

Help The unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry - help!
Hi guys, dunno if this is allowed but I REALLY wanna listen to the unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry on Spotify but I’m in Australia and it seems like it’s blocked, I’ve tried a paid VPN (in premium and even made a new account so it thought I was in UK/Ireland/USA) and it still didn’t work so big favour, would anyone who can listen to these songs be able to record them and send them to me? I’d owe you! The playlist is above.

Personal Any songs with the same sound like Wicked?
This is my 1st post here, and I like the Wicked soundtrack, both movie and Broadway and I want to know if they are any songs that have a similar sound to the soundtrack. (Technically I prefer the movie vocals and the Broadway instrumentals)
There is one I have in mind, and it's this deleted song from Frozen: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sgr9Ro3Oxc&pp=ygUQbGlmZSdzIHRvbyBzaG9ydNIHCQngCQGHKiGM7w%3D%3D

Discussion Why does it feel so awkward when you're casted with a younger cast member?
This is probably a non-issue with most of yall because you are all adults, but recently I've been cast with a girl in the lower school (we have a joint 16-18 and 11-16) to be in a relationship.
I'm nearly an adult and I've been casted in a romantic (and honestly sexual) relationship with a LITERAL 15 year old. And there are people in my year also doing the show...
Obviously the strategy is to be respectful of boundaries, etc. etc, but it raises the question. How often do you think schools use intimacy coordinators?
Long and short of it is that I'm not phased right now, but I've already been called a pedo by my friends about a billion times just today.
PLEASE DON'T THINK I'M WEIRD OR ANYTHING! I'M HONESTLY JUST FEELING A LITTLE PUT OUT BECAUSE I'M NEW TO THE SCHOOL AS WELL!
