Cinnamon Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Hear ye, hear ye. All theatre kids unite! This is a club for all theatre kids, everyone is welcome but if you’re a theatre kid you are more welcome. Talk about dramatic stuff, life, shows you are in, shows you have been in, shows you wish you were in, musical recommendations, anything really. Just be weird (shouldn’t be to hard). If this already exists, I’m terribly sorry.

Edema Rue Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 AH HI I LOVE THEATRE!!!!! IT IS MY LIFE AND SOUL. I listen to so much musical theatre and can always do a completely choreographed dance number if someone says the right words. We raid restaurants before and/or after shows. Put simply, I'm a theatre nerd. Shoot me. The cow as white as milk The cape as red as blood The hair as yellow as corn The slipper as pure as gold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aspiring Archivist Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) I'm in an acting class as I'm writing this and I'm figuring out how to effectively pretend to be a dog. Also @Aes Sedai I like a lot of them, but I really like Dear Evan Hansen, Come From Away, and Hamilton Edited January 24, 2023 by The Aspiring Archivist 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edema Rue Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 I’m currently in my drama class. We’re supposed to be writing scripts but Y’know I can’t figure out how to write blocking for a screaming goat. I know far too many musicals. Some of my top ones include Les Miserables, Hadestown, The Lightning Thief, and of course all the ones you mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fight me. Edit: For clarification, I wouldn’t class myself as a ‘theatre kid’ since I’m more into the music than the acting and dancing. But I looove doing musical theatre songs. A lot.

I thought it was very good. The songs were great, and the story obviously wasn't a one-to-one match, but it kept most of the original plot.

Spoiler 1) theatre obviously 2) Matilda (which I was) or Elphaba or The Artful Dodger Im so glad there are so many people who love drama on the Shard! We’re all like double nerds!

Cats is the name of a controversial musical by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. You either love it or hate it or have no opinion.

I love being in ensemble just because vocals are fun, but I’d love Judas in Godspell or any Disney male lead. I too have a question: Best and/or worst production you’ve been a part of and why? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Cash67 said: Best and/or worst production you’ve been a part of and why? High school musical. nuff said. nah, I shall not hate on it but it was a really terrible show, definitely my school's worst. First, only 3 boys auditioned. out of those three only one of them likes acting/can actually sing. he got Ryan. The boy who got Troy only wanted to be in the ensemble and auditioned for the experience. Next, it was in 2021 so we couldn't actually perform it, we filmed it. Third, NOBODY KNEW THIER LINES. I mean seriously it was terrible. Fourth, both our Gabriellas quit the week of filming. The girl who ended up doing it was amazing though and learnt all the chorry and lines in 2 days. (luv you K). Fifth, the atmosphere just sucked. When I'm in a cast usually everyone knows everyone by the end and there is a sense of community, not with this show :(. The show was just generally bad everyone in the cast was talking about how bad the general quality of the show was .It is taboo to talk about at my school. I could go on and on about more issues with it but I wont. Watching that recording was perhaps the only moment in my life when I though maybe I don't like theatre as much as I think I do. Thankfully Singing in the Rain came to my rescue. Edited January 25, 2023 by Cinnamon apostophies where there shouldn't be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash67 Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I don’t think I’ve been in a bad production…. But I did leave a bad theater (as in the environment was bad) before I was emotionally damaged by that… so that the bad side Best show though in terms of quality and experience has to be Matilda! I was one of the kids in an adult community theater production of Matilda and it was some of the most fun I have ever had. I was by no means the best there, both of our Matilda’s blew it out of the park, and the guy who played Trunchbull was hilarious. But that was my first taste of not-children’s theater and I have emanated more ever since….. but I’m a STEM major so not enough free time for theater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wittles Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Sadly, I've never done a drama class or actually acted(in front of people at least) I kind of wanted to try out for my school's the Wizard of Oz, but I chickened out decided to join the orchestra instead. It's been a lot of fun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My explanation is that it just looks better.) 2) ohhhh boy you asked the question.
