guys I’m gonna write a musical named honey I’m Homer about the Greek poet writing the Iliad/odyssey and becoming a cocky bitch only to see the present day where it is the general consensus that he never existed, forcing his character to undergo a Homeric arc with plot parallels to the odyssey and is a comedy

Had a little idea that I thought I would share with the class lol

Bloodymary but as a Musical

HEAR ME OUT BC I'VE ALREADY GOT SOME SONG TITLES/IDEAS

So for the soundtrack I've got:

-Eye Movement Detected (first song)

-Are You An Angel? (2nd or 3rd really depends)

-Promises (penultimate song of Act 1)

-Patron Saints (Final song of Act 1)

-Hivemind (Big technical elements here, make Eel like Sandworm from Beetlejuice)

Ok that's it :)

Just putting it out there that I’ve written a very detailed outline for a stage musical adaptation of The Lorax (all three existing versions). Largely inspired by “Biggering”.

And I’m taking any questions you might have about it. My inbox is open!

You can read it here.

With Epic: The Musical coming to an end, I'd like to pitch my idea for a similar project called Legend: the Musical, based on the life of Herakles.

The basic plot is that it follows the life of Heracles through his birth, tragic family life, twelve Labors, and his ascension to Godhood with some deviations from the original myth not dissimilar from how Epic did it.

The biggest change, is that it will also be told through the point of view of Hebe, Goddess of Youth who eventually ends up married to Herakles. In the musical, she's Hera's handmaiden after she took her in when she was orphaned during the Titan War. Hebe falls in love with Herakles early on, but she doesn't get near him because she knows every time mortals love Gods it always ends tragically for the mortal. She says as much in her song, "From Afar".

A motif that would run through the musical is that of the serpent. For context: the first song in the musical would be "Serpent in the Cradle", that describes Herakles choking two Serpents to death as a baby, but his own mother Alkmene calls HIM the Serpent in the Cradle.

Throughout the play whenever Herakles is at his lowest, he gets reminded of how he is the Serpent in the Cradle. A poison that hurts everything he loves. A thing that should not exist.

The bid turning point in the musical would be the death of Herakles' wife and kids, where Hera infects him with madness and compels him to kill them. Hebe saves his life by descending from Olympus and giving the message that Herakles wasn't at fault, but she can't betray Hera's confidences so she can't say who did it. Nevertheless, Herakles gets assigned the Twelve Labors instead of Execution, and Hebe helps him however she can.

During the LAbors, Herakles and Hebe fall in love, but Herakles stays away, believing he is the Serpent in the Cradle and will bring ruin to her, echoing Hebe's song "From Afar" and it's all tragic and sad.

There's more too it, obviously, but if you'd like to hear more let me know.

HEAR ME OUT:

a musical about a pudding factory. the whole musical is from the perspective of a pudding cup left overnight at the factory, it hears the secrets from the executives that they’re going to replace all the workers with machines and it can’t do anything but sit and watch (and sing ofc)

the main ballad is called “whisk me away” and all the factory workers including the pudding sing about being whisked to the side.

Weird Idea 11

Okay we got two musical adaptations of Mel Brooks films, Young Frankenstein and The Producers, but what if there was one for Dracula Dead and Loving It? I can easily picture that being a dark comedy romp!

One of my friends got the amazing idea for a Silksong musical

no idea why, but they just did lol

but like- you could totally just take the boss themes and give them lyrics and then boom. Musical.

or even the area themes and stuff

Also I watched Hadestown recently and I keep thinking of a animatic for one of the songs, specifically Chant (reprise)

Share my vision: (Some spoilers below)

Hades is the Forebrothers Signis and Gron, the workers are the Deep Dock enemies (excluding the slugs), and Orpheus is Hornet
