The theatre kids!

[Cinnamon Honorspren]

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.

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.

I'm preeeeetty sure something like this already exists, but it's probably not active so we might as well move here.

Hi I'm taking being a theatre kid to the next level and majoring in theatre so I can have a career in theatre which is terrifying but also really fun :))

I’ve been EVERYTHING it’s fantastic. Um…Odysseus, Archbishop of York, a demon named Nicholas, Fiona…yup I love it so much.

Any of you humans have favorite musicals?

[The Aspiring Archivist Full Feruchemist]

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

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.

[The Aspiring Archivist Full Feruchemist]

Ooh, I've also seen the lightning thief, that was great.

The best musical theatre song. 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.

Theater was my ESCAPE in high school!!! Covid and college have kinda kept me from theater, but musicals soundtracks are consistently on my favorite music list. I still love seeing shows too!

and @The Aspiring Archivist how did it compare to the books? lve heard some of the soundtrack and it seems fun. 
 

Also who else here has heard of Epic: The Troy Saga?

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.

I have two questions for you guys.

1) theatre or theater?

2) what is your dream role?

 

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!   Musical theatre nerds and book nerds! (That’s a good thing btw)

@The Wandering Wizard

Oh dear, I just saw this. I’m sorry Wiz but there aren’t any free cats. Cats is the name of a controversial musical by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. You either love it or hate it or have no opinion.

1) The first is the subject, the second is the building

2) that’s a hard one…. 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?

[Cinnamon Honorspren]

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.

apostophies where there shouldn't be.

[Cash67 Misting]

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. 

[Wittles of Shinovar King's Wit]

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

1) theatre (literally just cuz I wanna be fancy. I have heard that theatre is the art, theater is the venue as well, but I've also heard that it's a culture thing or many many other explanations. My explanation is that it just looks better.)

2) ohhhh boy you asked the question.

Annnnnnd probably a lot more that I'm missing.

Some of those are from plays, some from musicals. If anyone knows all of those plays (and I mean plays. If they're one of the ones based off of a book and you know the book but not the play, it doesn't count) I'll give you my intense, insane respect. If no one knows all of them, I'll give my intense (not insane) respect to whoever knows the most of them.
