SYG - The Musical
 

Well, in a world filled with the hit tunes of Tin Pan Alley, isn't it about time that SYG had a musical dedicated to it? Of course it is, and so I would like to suggest that we all get together and cook up a fantabulous musical.

I reckon we could have a script penned by Jennthebenn, and Senor Sarramkrop could fill in the musical Erich von Stroheim role magnificently - we all know that the S man is always willing to brandish a riding crop around and yell "encouragement" to leading ladies/men. Senor Glice would be in charge of musical arrangements, and ploesj could look after all the costumes and scene-dressing. So what we need is a story - should it be one of those "against all odds" inspirational stories, or something more idiosyncratic?

So ladies and gents - let's have all your suggestions for a story, and also as who will be in the cast (and what role they will play) - let's get this show on the road!

Clarification - does this musical center around a plotline that includes the actual members of SYG, or are we creating fictional characters that will be played by members?

(I realize the term "fictional" could apply to the members in either case. Shut up.)

ooooh you should hear me sing.

I've been told that it's ozzy meets gibby meets loud vomiting.


"who threw up?"

"oh, nobody, just singing along to jane's addiction."


ok. how about human beatbox instead? human beatbox with a large knife.

Casting recommendation: floatingslowly, porky, and melly

As long as I get to sing "Make 'Em Laugh"

This will be the greatest dialogue in a musical ever. I will dialogue the shit
out of this one.

Should be an opera not a musical

Always the indie route.

No Sy and SYG just deserve something better than the bastard son of opera and the crippled uncle of drama theatre...

Dead-Air and I will team up and photograph during the performance.

SYG members aren't excited enough for a musical. I agree an opera would be best.. With lots of contemporary dance numbers mixed in.

it should be a coming-of-age tale.

young fltngslwly is feeling left out because his MOS 6502 8-bit microprocessor is a bit slow, and all of the other reindeer wouldn't let him join in their games. so he goes on a journey to pedropolis to ask the myterious gmku for a ring to rule them all.

along the way he meets straw-like swa(y) who travels with fltngslwly in the hopes that gmku will give him a brain. he also befriends atsonicpark, who is in search of a heart for his tin exterior. the last companion fltngslwly befriends on the journey is porkmarras, who puts up a tough front, but is in need of courage.

however, once they get to pedropolis, they acquire some wonderdrugs from a man named crypto. the next 24 hours are full of surprises and tons of laughs

How about a tale of innocence lost when all members sit around a table drinking wine spritzers, bitching about each others shitty taste and which label so and so's 7'' was released on. The story takes a turn for better when all members simultaneously jump off the brooklyn bridge after a boredoms show, fulfilling the suicide pact we all made upon our first post.

You can easily write a musical about that.

I'll be the prick critic.

this hits too close to home.

think of something else.

will there be zombies?

^ there betta be!

Says the vampyr girl.
