General Discussion

I briefly saw the post before the change, so I am prepared for this. I've been waiting for this moment.

One of the first and few musicals I've seen live was Wicked. Of course, the version I'm familiar with was the German one, which I remember as being amazing. Was that just nostalgia?, I wondered.
So, I re-listened to the German version and compared it to the original. And I gotta agree with a lot of comments under the German videos: As great as the English one is, the German one has an energy that original doesn't quite match.

So, without further ado, let me introduce you to a few songs from the German Wicked soundtrack.

Keiner weint um Hexen
Was fühl' ich in mir?
Nur ein Tag
Frei und Schwerelos
Gutes tun

Scuttling in on all fours. Did someone say musicals? I'm gonna try limiting myself here to one song from a few of my favorite shows

More Than This - Pulp Musicals
An iconic song from a hidden gem of a musical. It's a radio-play style show, so all you need is the soundtrack and a few hours of spare time. There's three episodes of it so far, with more on the way. If I had to recommend one show from this list, it would be Pulp. This one's the only song on YouTube though, the rest is on Spotify.

Nerdy Prudes Must Die - Nerdy Prudes Must Die
Can't link this one here, but a very good act 1 closer. Essentially, some needs play a "prank" on their high school bully, end up accidentally killing him, and then his ghost comes back to kill them. This scene is him taking his first victim.

Black Friday - Black Friday
By the same people who made NPMD, this is a musical about Black Friday riots, turned into a cult worshipping a plushie. This song specifically is from the pov of one of the toy store workers, near death, reflecting on things, including her little sister, who is in the same mall with one of those plushies and being hunted down for it. I used too many commas there oops

Let it Out - The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals
Once again by the same people as NPMD and BF, the whole show is about an outbreak of singing alien zombies, and our main character is a normal guy who just happens to not like musicals. This song's from the climax of the show, when he goes to take down their hivemind at the source.

Home - Beetlejuice
They turned Beetlejuice into a musical, and it's one of the best damn musicals I've seen. It has a lot of diversions from the original plot, like in this song. Here, Lydia is in the Netherworld, trying to find her dead mom.

I haven't seen a musical in over a decade but I do listen to a few albums that are musical-esk stories, which I choose to count for the purposes of sharing:

1. Skywriter - Deadhorse (Deluxe Edition) by Dirt Poor Robins
2. I Don't Know - Ghost Quartet
   • This one actually had a theater piece. The album as a whole is also incredibly weird.
3. Life is a Game - Adventures from the Ocean of the Dead by Michelle Cross
   • I've been obsessed with this album recently. The whole thing is a fun little odyssey
4. Black Mamba - Bone Crown by Marah in the Mainsail
5. Light Up The Night - Act II: The Father of Death by The Protomen
   • Act II: The Father of Death is one of my favorite albums of all time. It's a megaman rock opera. I know literally nothing else about megaman but this goes super hard.

1. To Life - Fiddler on the Roof (Motion Picture ver.) | Spotify | Scene on YT
Listen. Listen. I'd put the entire movie on here if I could. There's so many amazing moments in this film and I am heavily biased as I grew up watching it quite often. I do believe that To Life out of all moments does an amazing job emphasizing the growing tension in Anatevka.

2. Tevye's Dream - Fiddler on the Roof (Motion Picture ver.) | Spotify | Scene on YT
I also have to share what has always been the most memorable scene of this entire film. Never been able to get it out of my head, it lives here rent-free. Not to mention Fruma Sarah's vocals are just so so fun.

May add more soon...ish... I seem to have spontaneously gained a playlist of musicals to watch in my spare time that I'll likely be working through soon while stuck in Coli...
