Team Goelz, Project Ten - Brainstorming Thread

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Love the work that is going on so far. Remember, The Book of Mormon is also required for inclusion.

Ok so I had a minor family thing for a couple days. Can someone give me the tl;dr of what we have so far?

Hey so the plot is a trip to the stageshows.

If we have one actor per scene and there is like 9 scenes then we should be good.

We should also take further advantage of the actors. Have them interact with the host and the guests.

I don't want to say takeover, but maybe.

What could we do for Book of Mormon? Off the top of my head, the most likely candidates for songs to use in the ride are "Hello", "All-American Prophet", "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream", "I Believe" and "Tomorrow is a Latter Day".

Never seen the musical. "I Believe" sounds inspirational tho

Horror: Sweeney Todd, Phantom
Rebellion: Les Mis, Hamilton, Wicked
Comedy: Book of Mormon
Adventure: Brigadoom, Lion King
Classics: Oklahoma, Showboat, Grease

These are the musicals that have been brought up. I think 9 is a solid number so in the next post I am going to bold my nine choices. Feel free to add any I missed.

The Great Movie Ride has twelve films represented in the main ride. I'd honestly go with thirteen in this case because I really want to use one show as the big finale. Heck, we could even pay homage to what was originally supposed to happen in the GMR by having the characters from the shows come out for a curtain call. I like where you're going with the genres, kmbmw777, but I'd honestly shuffle the ordering around a bit.

I'd begin with the "Classics", to showcase some of the earliest-known Broadway works, represented through Show Boat and Oklahoma! Then, we could go through "Comedy", and I'd pick one other show to go with Book of Mormon for this (off the top of my head, either Avenue Q, The Producers or Spamalot), then "Horror" could be our mid-way segment. I just thought of this--alongside Sweeney and the Phantom, I'd love to see a gigantic animatronic Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. And maybe, as MEW suggested, we could throw Rocky Horror into the mix.

From there, we could do "Adventure" and then "Rebellion", because Basketbuddy came up with the excellent idea of having Wicked be to this what Wizard of Oz is to GMR. And then, we could use our "Finale", and I'm still adamant about using "One" to end it.

Those are just my two cents on the thing. It all depends on what the majority thinks is best for the overall ride structure...

I think we're missing a romance segment. Probably just the hopeless romantic part of me, but something from Natasha, Pierre, & the Great Comet of 1812 could fit fantastically for a small Casablanca-equivalent scene.

I think we could have some rooms that are medleys. Like one big horror room (themed to a gothic, grim, daek city with a flower shop (little shop), a pie shop (Sweeney Todd), and a Opera House (Phantom)) sorta like how there is one big western room. We could even do that with romance too. Like a dark room with a reflective floor and figures different couples singing or dancing or embracing giving it a dreamlike state as our LPS vehicles dance around them.

That way we can represent more shows. Not every scene needs to be a show stopper.

And I really like the idea of using either One Singular Sensation (from chorus line) or the How do you Measure a life song (from Rent).

 

[Pi on my Cake]

Full disclosure, I am in no way a theater geel, but I am about certain shows. So, I'm more or less pretty knowledgeable about Sweeney Todd, Wicked, Hamilton, and Into the Woods. And the movie versions of Grease, Little Shop of Horrors, and Chicago.

My point here is that I personally would vote we limit the number of bigshow stopping scenes to only like 3 or 4 and do smaller scale scenes for the rest. Things like Singing in the Rain, Indy, Fantasia, Casablanca, Poppins, and Footlight parade in the Great Movie Ride.

4 I think and then like 6 smaller ones could be sufficient

I think that for an overarching story, (it is similar to the Golden Mickeys) an intern at _____ Theater is forced into guiding the tour... Even though he/she doesn't know much about Broadway. The characters help her to find herself, and embrace what Broadway is about, and then, the intern is the "one sensation", which is performed by all of the characters from the other musicals, wearing a gold version of their outfits.

I like that! And our other human performers can be "guest guides" so to speak that walk us through the different sections talking about their part of theater.

A soldier from Hamilton discussing the importance of rebellion from the norm in theater and how it encourages people to break the mold, stand out, and be themselves. Theater is a place for everyone. A place where "even orphan, immigrants can make a difference."

Have someone give a speech like that I'm each section about that there's importance to theater and the effect it can have teaching the Intern and us that theater is much more than just good songs and cool costumes. It's important. It means something.

Try to give this ride some of the weight of a classic Epcot ride

I really like that! We do need to make sure (however) that we don't get too meta, ala Mission: Space

If we go that route then it needs to be the defining musicals of each generation.

Either the defining musical of each generation or of each theme

I think using eras makes the ride more of a history which if is what we're Goni g for is fine

I think this part is perfect.

After reading this from a computer, I vote we organize the shows by not necessarily the genre, but the message it sends across. Our ride can focus on the importance of theater.

Hamilton and Les Mis - fight to make a difference
Phantom and Brigadoon - love results in crazy things
Grease and maybe Mormon (irdk) - sometimes change is good
