Xaladin Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Elantris could probably be a musical. Spoiler When Hrathen "suffers the shaod" there could be a really dramatic musical number there. Maybe something similar to Frollo's solo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. At least one Hrathen&Dilaf scene could be a musical number (like when Hrathen is "teaching" Dilaf how to be powerful). Somewhere Sarene deserves some Mulan music. Iadon could probably get a really creepy musical number when he is doing Jesker rituals. Shuden might get a quick song, perhaps while doing some ChayShan. Raoden has a lot of discovery moments. He could probably get a song or two. Perhaps Galladon could get a pessimistic song (perhaps with some comic relief). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modal Seoul Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) I could see Steel Inquisitors, as they're doing the "messy" part of Hemelurgy, singing a hard-rock version of "You'll Be In My Heart" "A Whole New World" for Siri and someone (IDK who) when she first comes to Hallandren. When Kelsier first meets vin, "Friend Like Me" I could also see Lightsong singing a parody version of Aristocats' song "Everyone Wants to be A Cat" titled "Everyone wants to be a God" I just want to see Bluefingers sing "Be Our Guest" for no reason at all.

Faceless Mist-Wraith Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 For "A Whole New World" you could use Kaladin and Syl when he learns to Lash for the first time. Quote What about Denth plotting to take over Hallandren? It's not exact, but that's the best I can come up with. I thought about it some more, and I thought of Rashek and Kwaan when they're plotting to kill Alendi and replace him with Rashek. That and your example are the only ones I can think of, since Graves and Moash didn't seem to fit the tone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faceless Mist-Wraith Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 I made this and this thread seemed to be the best place to put it, so here we are: "Do You Want to Forge the Emperor?" Spoiler Do you want to forge the Emperor? You don’t really have a say. Because now you have a job to do, It’s life or death for you, And you have less than 100 days… We were able to fix his body, But not his mind And that’s why we need you! Do you want to forge the Emperor? You’re gonna have to forge the Emperor. Fine Gaotona. Thank you Shai… Are you done Forging the Emperor? You’re kind of running out of time Not to mention there is Captain Zu I’ve seen him watching you With murder on his mind (He might hold a grudge) It makes me kind of worried That you’re Forging your room Even when the deadline is nigh (Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock) (Sad music plays as a Selian calendar counts down) Shai, I knew you’d be here The guards are wondering where you’ve gone. They say "don’t trust her," and I tried to Yet I here I am for you, was it really all a con? The BloodSealer is coming for you So take these SoulStamps and flee, Maybe steal a painting or two?

Popular Post Faceless Mist-Wraith Posted October 11, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 After noticing the similar names between Kaladin and Aladdin I couldn't help imagining this happening when Kaladin first meets Syl. Syl's "Spren Like Me" Spoiler Kaladin, I don’t think you quite realize what you got here! So, why don’t you just complain a bit, While I explain a bit about this opportunity! Well, Jasnah’s out there transforming thieves, Szeth’s out there riding gales. But Kaladin listen up, 'cause up your sleeves You've got a magic system that never fails You've got some Investiture in your soul now! Some heavy ammunition in your warcamp! You got some punch, pizzaz, yahoo and how. See, all you gotta do is say those Oaths, and I'll say: "Mr. Kaladin, sir, what will your pleasure be? Let me become a shardblade, wave me around?" You ain't never had a spren like me Roshar is your restaurant and I'm your maitre'd Come on mutter what it is you want; You ain't never had a spren like me! Yes sir, honor-spren pride ourselves on service. You're a lighteyes, Knight Radiant, a star! Say all the Oaths; I’m yours, bond growth. How 'bout a little more chouta? Train yourself in chasm A, then fly through chasm B, I'm in the mood to help you, dude. You ain't never had a spren like me Oh my. No no. My my my. Can lie-spren do this? Can ink-spren do that? Can high-spren pull this Out their pointy hats? Can your spren go poof? Well looky here. Can your spren go abracadabra, become a shardblade, And then make your enemies disappear? So don't just sit there set-jawed, broody eye’d, I'm here to answer all your burned-up prayers, You've got me bona fide certified; You've got a honor-spren for charge d'affaires. I've got a powerful surge that’ll help you out, So who’ll you Lash, I really wanna know? You've got a list that's three miles long, no doubt, Well all you've gotta do is say Oaths like so, and oh - Mr. Kaladin, sir, have a Lashing or two or three. I'm on the job you big nabob!

Penumbra Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 A long time ago I went to a musical for the first time and the first scene the stage was enveloped in thick swirling mists and my brain immediately went to "MISTBORN MUSICAL, YES!"I would pay a lot of money to see Kelsier sing out his hatred for the noblemen. Either him, or possibly Hoid, could probably throw a performance resembling something of Clopin in Disney's the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Don't ask me why I see those two in that ... Also seeing Warbreaker in musical form would make for some absolutely magnificent set dressing and stages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 *Curtain rises, dramatic piano intro, spotlight falls on* Kelsier, Ham and Breeze skipping down the street singing 'We Go Together' (Like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong). Some finger snapping and a West Side Story-esque fight scene later and the Lord Ruler is dead, which transitions into a heartfelt rendition of 'Ding-Dong the Witch is Dead' for the finale. Or if you wanted to be more true to the book, combine the 'Work Song' (Les Miz) with Kelsier singing a poignant 'Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story' (Hamilton). 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Unlicensed Hemalurgist Posted November 7, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) "Atium," from "A Mistborn on the Roof" (a Brandon Sanderson production) KELSIER [enters stage right]: "A Mistborn on the Roof! Sounds crazy--no, sounds certifiably insane! But here in our bustling city of Luthadel, you might say every one of us has a Mistborn on the roof. Most of the time that Mistborn is me, but things aren't always quite so simple! I've had my share of nasty scrapes, but I survive. That's what so many of us do here-- survive. It's not easy being skaa, what with the giant malevolent god-king and his Steel Ministry looming over your head day and night, but there it is. Luthadel is the home of many strange things. A big empire like that on such a little habitable scrap of land, you may ask yourself, what makes it all keep running smoothly if it's so difficult? That, I can tell you in one word: ATIUM!" CHORUS: "ATIUUUUUUUM, AITUM! ATIUUUUUUUM, ATIUM!" KELSIER: "Here in the Final Empire, atium makes its way into everything eventually. The changeless, ash-choked Empire, where the clustering spires of noble keeps poke up through the mists that choked out the sun in the dark old days of the Deepness! These days the Deepness is gone, but the Lord Ruler is still here. And the Obligators, and the Inquisition, and the nobles, and the regular old skaa, just trying not to get noticed. And they really try not to think about the scariest one of all-- the ageless, flat-affect, full-metalborn god-king--THE LORD RULER!--that's been squeezing us all in his grip for over a thousand years!" KELSIER: [begins to sing] "Who day and night must sulk in Kredik Shaw, suff'ring Ruin's trolling, burning all the books? And who has the might, as a tiny bit of God, to one day put us all to death?" RASHEK: [bored, from offstage] "LORD RULERRRRRRR, LORD RULER! ATIUM! LORD RULERRRRRRR, LORD RULER! ATIUM!" OBLIGATORS AND INQUISITORS: [singing] "Who must bow and kneel and scrape and slave all day, to run the Dominances God's own way? Who must witness everything the nobles say, to make sure all their shelldry games are done on time? [CHORUS joins in] THE CANTOOOOOOONS, THE CANTONS! ATIUM! THE CANTOOOOOOONS, THE CANTONS! ATIUM!" NOBLES: [singing] "At night I go to fancy balls and rape and beat my slaves, and soon I'll turn on all my friends for wealth depra-aves! [CHORUS joins in] THE HOUSEEEEEEES, THE HOUSES! ATIUM! THE HOUSEEEEEEES, THE HOUSES! ATIUM!" SKAA: [singing] "Who's always penned in slums? Who fills the air with cries? Who's huddled in the cold, as ash rains from the skies? [CHORUS joins in] THE SKAAAAAAAAA, THE SKAA! ATIUM! THE SKAAAAAAAA, THE SKAA! ATIUM!" [All except KELSIER] "LORD RULERRRRRRR/THE CANTOOOOOOONS/THE HOUSEEEEEEES/THE SKAAAAAAAA......ATIUM!" [repeat 2x] KELSIER: "We have the cannery, and the metal refineries, and some wonderful slums the damned nobles are so very happy to keep standing, but the heart of Luthadel is Ahlstrom Square! There's no bigger venue for a public execution in the entire Empire! Any society that allows an abomination like that to persist deserves to be destroyed. You see, many of the nobles love to walk through the execution grounds on a slow day, and us thieving crews get to know the big names pretty well. For instance, Straff Venture, always eager to break new grounds in recreational sexual assault... [STRAFF and ELEND enter stage left] STRAFF: "My useless embarrassment of a son is lounging around at balls reading books again! Looks like I've got to get him another trip to the skaa whorehouses! God, I love me some rape!" ELEND: "Father, your sexual perversity has gone on long enough! Why, by this point I wouldn't be surprise if your festering, diabolic seed had violated thirty percent of the city's womenfolk by this point!" STRAFF: "I warn you, boy, you talk to me like that again and I'll send your insane half-brother after you! Now shut up and leave me to my whores!" [STRAFF and ELEND exit stage right] KELSIER: "And Hoid, the weird beggar who seems to know too much and is always...showing up everywhere... HOID: [enter stage right, scribbling on a notepad] "And furthermore, you stubborn old reptile, I fear your foolish self-enslavement to pan-Cosmeric nonintervention will cause far more harm than you seem to think. Do you really think Roshar will keep Rayse distracted forever? If we do not act quickly..." [HOID's voice trails off as he leaps off the front of the stage and disappears into the aisles] KELSIER: "And Ashweather Cett, the crippled old bastard from nearby Fadrex City..." [CETT, pushed in his chair by ALLRIANNE, enters stage left] CETT: "Bah! These soft Luthadel nobles! Back in the Western Dominance, I wouldn't be caught dead using prissy little 'damns' and 'hells' every whichway!" [CETT AND ALLRIANNE exit stage right] KELSIER: "Then there are the other residents of Luthadel, some natives, some just visiting. The head of a local thieving crew, some sort of horrible blob monster, that sort of thing. These normal Skaa just look the other way and try not to get noticed. And for the most part the Final Empire goes along just fine, and the reason for all that is atium. It's almost priceless, and it's what's kept the Lord Ruler's tyranny going for a thousand years. Why thanks to atium, the whole system's as stable as... well, as a Mistborn on a roof!" ALL: [singing] "ATIUUUUUUUM, AITUM! ATIUUUUUUUM, ATIUM!" "ATIUUUUUUUM, AITUM! ATIUUUUUUUM, ATIUM!"
