♫ ♪ The Musical Meme ♬ ♩



Life should be more musical, shouldn't it? But that's why we love musicals - a bit of joy, no matter what. So let's write our characters into some of our favourite songs and scenarios. Here's a few prompts below to get you started, but by all means do your own thing! That's what a good musical number is for!

Potential Prompts, Presented Properly:

➟ 1. You're trapped in a famous musical! Now all that's left is to play it out with you and another character(s). Does it go as it usually goes? Does it go off-script? Does someone set fire to the script and run about adding electric guitars and lasers to Phantom? Your call.

➟ 2. Your character(s) are in a musical universe - a song ensues! But none of the participants has any idea they're in a musical. They're just gonna sing it up and get woodland creatures to join in, not knowing this isn't a thing that's supposed to happen.

➟ 3. One of you absolutely knows this isn't a thing that is supposed to happen.

➟ 4. Solo Number - Are you putting on a ballad, a performance? A rock anthem? A sultry birthday song for that special someone or someones? Call your shot, see what you get!

➟ 5. Duet - either on stage, or just for fun - two duelling visions in song? Talking about what a swell party this is? A travel number to get Bob and Bing on the road to Morocco? Or Tulio and Miguel on the road to El Dorado?

➟ 6. The Villain Piece - You're evil and somebody's gonna know why. This villain anthem is a classic option - be prepared for it, and sometimes it's just so easy when you're evil.

➟ 7. The Ensemble Piece - Ambitious Option: get a group together and go for the gusto!

➟ 8. The Big Show Option - Bubsy Berkley and Florenz Ziegfeld would approve. Make it big, make it unrealistic. Maybe some fireworks. Definitely sequins.

➟ 9. Rock Opera - Do Freddy Mercury proud. Rock on.

➟ 10. Classic Opera - Do Verdi proud. Watch out for Otis. B. Driftwood.
