Tolkien musicals marathon announcement: 25 years of Falešné společenstvo!
Falešné společenstvo at the dress rehearsal of Zrada! Smrt! Láska! (Betrayal! Death! Love!) in January 2025
Hi everyone! The Last Homely Server is hosting a series of Tolkien musical streams this August, in celebration of the 25 year anniversary of Falešné společenstvo. They are a group of czech Tolkien fans that have been writing and performing Tolkien songs, and later full musicals, since 2001.
So whether you are a fan of their works who wants to catch the rarer pokémons watch the more obscure shows or as of yet uninitiated to the rabbit hole that are Tolkien musicals (or anything in between) come join us to watch some Tolkien musicals in good company! If you have any questions about the musicals, how to take part, or which musical is best for you, ask us in the comments :)

While this marathon is still not exhaustive of FS' work over the last quarter century (!), it covers every musical at least once (where we have recordings). In the first two streams you can see a representation of the earlier era of more song-cycle/concert shows ("the classroom era") represented, while starting from 2017, the shows transform into the staged, choreographed musicals they are today.
In any case, enough yapping, we'd love to see you there! And if you have any questions, please ask!
