The Posters of Broadway World briefly attempted to create a musical about this site. Now I thought it would be a great idea have a write a musical competition. My challenge to posters is to write a libretto to a musical with song lyrics. The musical could be about anything and can contain whatever.

The librettos are due January 4th

Also you must PM me a proposal by November 15th. In your proposal write what your musicals plot outline and your vision for this libretto. No more than 5 sentences is needed

I have proposals from
jafkb
wickedfan11
B3A07
dlmusic

Our judges are me, EnWashingtonHeights, YankeeFan007 ifuweregay93, and WickedRocks

Please email librettos to me at [e-mail]

Keep Bumping this Thread so people can get the message. Even If you forgot to give a proposal you can still send in a libretto for the competition.
Thank You

I'll write one based on The Devil Wears Prada with Dramarama

I'm working on a parody of Les Miserables that's about what the actors are really thinking when they're onstage, but there's no libretto as such, because it's sung through. Is that good enough?

If not, I have that musical of M*cb*th...

That is fine. The only other rule I should add is that while parodies are aloud posters will be disqualified if a scene contains verbatim from another show. Also if plot lines are too similar it might result in disqualification. Although if you are doing a musical adaptation of a movie or a play or a book those rules do not apply. Schmerg it is okay to have an all sung show as long as it does not overlap to mutch with Les Mis.

I've always thought Heidegger's "Being and Time" would make a great musical.

"My Humps" To the music of the Black Eyed Peas!

I saw a video on youtube of a 'dramatic interpretation' of My Humps-- maybe you could expand this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKNiyqIYtdY

Wait, what? No Zac Efron? What are you thinking, man? Gotta get someone from HSM in there.

Incidentally, I actually have a bit of a thing for Josh Peck. He's so cheesy, but so adorable... which is probably also why I have a bit of a thing for Michael Ball and Elvis Presley....

Dude, hands off. Efron's playing Heidegger.

[wickedfan11]

Posted: 11/4/08 at 5:59pm

do we need to have a cast?

[Broadwaynerd101]

Posted: 11/4/08 at 6:07pm

Sorry, I added the other ones who just signed the contracts.

The whole cast is at my house now for a read through!

Right now, we're running through the scene where the cast plays duck duck goose. Next up is the Miley/Vanessa sex scene.

DAMMIT ZAC EFFRON, The Jonas Brothers are not into your little saussage games. They prefer the Sprouse brothers instead!

Posted: 11/4/08 at 6:24pm

no a cast is not needed. just a script.

[esparza 333]

Posted: 11/5/08 at 5:24pm

I have now made the official due date for the libretto Jan 4th.

I am still looking for 3 judges.

[Broadwaynerd101]

Posted: 11/5/08 at 5:25pm

Can a udge also submit a musical?

And do we have to send you sheetmusic?

[esparza 333]

Posted: 11/5/08 at 5:39pm

no sheet music is need. A judge can submit but will not judge their own pieces.

[esparza 333]

Posted: 11/5/08 at 6:11pm

I was wondering if you guys can help keep this message on the by bumping it please.

I'm in the middle of writing a comedy musical called "Alpha Male" about how masculinity is treated in the workplace. I'd love to throw it in the mix to get some feedback on it.

[Broadwaynerd101]

Posted: 11/5/08 at 7:38pm

Was that a no to sheet music or a yes?

I got confused!

I'd love to be a judge!

[esparza 333]

Posted: 11/5/08 at 7:52pm

you do not need sheet music. I am sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
