hey hey repo fans (repo fen? lmao)

I’m still not super active again yet, got a lot of stuff going on right now as I’m sure you can appreciate and honestly, I’m sure you’re all in a similar situation.

How are you doing lately?

What sheet music are you looking forward to? Or what covers of older Repo sheet music stuff I’ve previously tracked down are you excited for me to finish recording? Or else, what would you like to see?

I’d love to hear anything from y’all :D

[therepofan]

hey

so uhhhhh fuck knows if anyone still pays any attention to this account given how long it’s been dead but

(I am beginning to feel more comfortable with Repo again lately so... maaaaybe sheet music/covers soon? idk let me know if you want that and watch this space!)

but also just wanted to check in with y’all what with the world being how it is

are you coping? is everything okay? I’ve been struggling a LOT for sure so don’t worry if you’re not doing well at all - you’re not the only one. 

just stay safe and follow all guidelines okay? wear a mask, keep your distance, don’t be a fucking idiot and all.

see you soon <3

wow I haven’t checked this blog in a long time but there were some BAD replies on the “we need to talk abt” post huh

I’ve deleted the ones that were blatantly disgusting and against literally everything I believe in as a human being so yeah

also I see the people responding that they know but they are tired of cancelling people and I just wanna say clearly: that’s okay. I totally get it. I never made that post because I wanted anyone else to have to abandon Repo. Despite my reservations, I still adore it as a film and musical and it has been a huge influence on me. And I hope as many of you as possible can still derive joy from it!

[therepofan]

The replies I deleted were from someone trying to tell me I was wrong because homophobia didn’t exist in the same way as “”pedophobia”” didn’t and no. No one gets to talk like that on my blog. If you think that way, get out and don’t come back, you’re not welcome.

Update - Repo sheet music on indefinite hiatus. Explanation in post.

Update – Repo sheet music on indefinite hiatus. Explanation in post.

I wish I didn’t have to write this.

As of several months ago, I am no longer making sheet music for Repo! The Genetic Opera. Nor will I be making any for TDC.

I wrote a post about why this is on my tumblr – please take two minutes to read it here.

The short version is that I discovered unpleasant truths about Zdunich – that he has a history of abusive and manipulative behaviour including towards…

We need to talk about Zdunich.

I wanted to start this post with “I’m sorry for springing this on you”, but… well, I don’t have any reason to apologise. I haven’t done anything wrong, and I can’t change the reason I’m doing this. 

What reason? I’ll not mess you around. Short answer: I discovered that Zdunich has a history of predatory and abusive behaviour, including taking advantage of fans (and that’s not even all of it.)

I’m not going to go into more detail because 1. I don’t want to do any more research into this, what little I’ve read has already made me uncomfortable and I’m not compromising my own mental health for anything, and 2. I don’t want to risk triggering any followers for any reason. Don’t @ me about this, it’s my decision.

Longer answer: About a month ago, I was looking for other Repo blogs to follow and came across @fallforfables blog. This is a blog started by a former girlfriend of Zdunich, detailing his behaviour towards her and others during their relationship. BEFORE you click that link, please know that this behaviour includes predatory behaviour towards minors and fans, various kinds of abusive behaviour, transphobia, and possibly more. I didn’t want to read any more to check.

But I am asking you to click here and read, if you consider yourself a fan of Repo or TDC or anything else Zdunich has had a hand in. And I beg you to reblog this post. Because I had no idea about any of this, and I have to assume no one else does either, and we need to know. All of us need to know the truth, however unpleasant knowing it might be.

I’m not telling you to denounce anything. I’m not even telling you to stop liking Repo or TDC. As Fables says herself, many good people were involved in those projects and it must be possible to separate “art from shitty artist”. But it’s very important that we stop idolising this man. He’s not a good person.

Believe me. Don’t believe me. I can’t force you either way. Read the blog, come to your own conclusion.

There’s a lot I could say about how I felt on learning this. There’s a lot I want to say about it. But I don’t really want to spend my free time articulating my thoughts on it right now. What I can say is that a month ago, all my enthusiasm for Repo just… vanished. It’s gone. My favourite film, musical, in the whole world, the one I try to get everyone I meet to watch, the one I have spent huge amounts of money and time on doing cosplays from, the one I invested hundreds of hours of my life into making sheet music for, the one I loved so much, and suddenly I don’t care about it at all. I don’t bring it up in conversation anymore. I don’t sing Infected, Chromaggia or Legal Assassin in the shower anymore. When I first saw the film, I bought a cameo on Etsy that looked like Shilo’s and wore it all the time, but now I don’t even consider it when thinking about jewellery. 

This blog will be going on hiatus as of this post. That includes all music transcription, and the plans I had for talking about the history of Repo as a show. I wish this hadn’t happened so soon after I’d just started gaining followers, but that’s how it is. I just don’t have any motivation to engage with Repo at the moment. I can’t say how long it may be until I do again. I don’t even know if I will.

Until then, Repo fans. You know where my ask box is if you have any questions.

excuse you I choose to believe he figured it out

it’s too sad otherwise

[therepofan]

That vague post is low key giving me a panic attack I’m scared lol

I’m not sure what you want me to do about that, tbh. If you’re having a serious panic attack, please stop reading my blog and do whatever helps you recover quickly!

heck hello new followers

I love repo and spend far too much of my free time making sheet music and hunting down traces of the original stage productions

If you’re looking for something Repo related, ask me! There’s like an 80% chance I have it, know where it is or can find it.

seriously please ask I have all this stuff saved on my computer and a head full of trivia

[therepofan]

so uh I made a sort of WIP demonstration of how I make sheet music! I’m working on the 2002 version of Legal Assassin atm since I’m planning to cover it in a few weeks (I own most of the instruments to make my own backing track, get hype!)

Please let me know what you think <3

Trawling the Wayback Machine’s archive for repoopera.com

I have spent most of today going through urls and hoping that the archives work - sadly a lot of them are from a sweep in 2011 after the domain lapsed, so they’re no use.

I DID find:

-Files for five of the MP3 previews (for Infected, Gold, Chromaggia’s Lament, Thankless Job and 21st Century Cure) - https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.repoopera.com:80/mp3s/*

-Audition PDFs for various characters

-Three distinct cast lists (2002 original, 2004, and the NY 2005 cast.)

I’m finishing here for today though.

Can I just comment on how Nathan Wallace holds a note for sixteen. Fucking. Seconds.

Like, how the fuck??!?!?!!?

[therepofan]

Not JUST that:

he fucking BELTS the whole thing, after having sung a whole line BEFORE STARTING

it’s one of the reasons I absolutely love Anthony Head as an actor/singer
