Nu-Citra Brainstorming Thread - Project Five: Give My Regards to Broadway

[DashHaber]

I think we should work together on both acts. Should we open a private message thread so we don’t flood this one?

Certainly. Let's start up a private message stream.

1 on art

I call that role! In fact, after making the poster I also whipped up some more art for the show.

I made a Playbill...

Some billboards...

And the cover of the show's cast album.

Those are fantastic!

 

[PerGron]

Hey y’all, sorry I’ve been absent today, forgot my phone at home. Anyway, what can I help with?

 

[Brer Panther]

Those are fantastic!

Thanks!

Something important when expanding the story and giving characters more focus is that we need to keep our show centered around a theme. Keep that thematic ties.

Being true to yourself is a big theme from the movie as well as a common theme seen in broadway. Syndrome tries to be something he isn't making him the villain, Bob feels nostalgic for his past missing that what he is meant to be more than anything is a husband/father, Dash feels unfulfilled and sad being forced to hide who he is meant to be, Violet is embarrassed about who she is and has to learn to come out of the closet love herself, and Elastigirl has to stop trying suppress the parts of herself she wants to ignore the same as Bob except for her it is the heroics not the childcare.

Being true to who you are and proud of your identity and not trying hide it is what each character learns. At least as best I can see. That is a strong connective theme for a Broadway show I think.

Hey guys. Music is coming along.

We still need to lock in a team leader. Let's get that figured out today. I don't care who it is, as long as it's taken by/given to someone by the end of the day.

Love it. That is a fantastic theme to center this show around. Is anyone writing a book? I'm not sure what's required offhand, but it'd definitely be nice to have at least a scene or two fully written.

We still need set design, and costumes, though we'd need a scene layout before we can get going on set design.

If you/ anyone would like to contribute to music at all, I can add you to mine and Pi's PM. Personally, I'd love to get as many perspectives as possible.

Lighting falls under technical stuff right?

Yes it does. I forgot you were working on that. Sorry.

 

[goofyyukyuk]

No worries!

@NigelChanning09 and I are writing out both acts for the musical.

By the way, I'd be up for seeing how the songs are looking.

 

[NigelChanning]

@JokersWild , how’s the music coming along? I’m just wondering so I can get an idea of the certain story beats we have to hit and character arc we are including.

I can add you to the PM. We’re currently working on the opening number, which should encompass everything from the movie’s opening sequence. Second song is a villain song. Third is either Edna’s song or Mr. Incredible’s I Want song.

 

[goofyyukyuk]

Let me know if there's any effects needed for the show that I can work on technical descriptions for!

 

[PerGron]

I can take costume design and if there’s anything else we need, let me know too!

Big things are just figuring out ways to make super powers and the omnidroid work on stage without looking silly. I don't think there is anything too fancy or special in the songs we are working on beyond just general super power stuff or stage fighting. I don't know if the story writing team has any big scenes that are more complex that they need

Are we including the Underminers drill at the end of the show?

For sure! I’m working on ideas for super powers/omnidroid, and if the story writing team has any other needs, let me know!

I feel like the Drill could just be heard off stage personally.
