i know y’all have been gunning for a tfc tv show but I’m about to make all ur dreams come true…….. All For the Game: The Musical
- holy shit.. i know
- a 3-act musical for each book… it would be long as hell (at least 3 hours), but it would be Worth It
- show opens with the song “Running”, neil is introduced
- the exposition is laid quickly followed by the upbeat track “Meet the Monsters”
- “Better Luck Next Time” -andrew n neils first duet
- they’re are a Lot of andreil duets; some of everyone’s favs are “You’re a Fox”, “Upping the Percentage”, “I’d Go Back For You”, “Oh, Neil”, “You Liar!”, and “Yes or No?”
- actually this musical is just half sexually charged duets, half exy games
- not that anyone is complaining
- also the training song sequence
- eden twilight’s music is sultry and sexy and the lighting is low
- all of the exy games……. AS ELABORATELY CHOREOGRAPHED DANCE NUMBERS
- ‘I’m fine” “I’m fine reprise” “I’m (not) fine” (to the tune of i’m fine)
- “I can be calm” “Ok That Time Didn’t Work Lets Try This Again” “Well Fuck That Noise (Riko I Hate You)” all neil solos…. all fantastic
- all of neil’s clapbacks ……. rapped
- speaking of that…..andrew and allison? they rap battle
- renee has the most beautiful solo…. she’s so talented
- riko thankfully only gets one song in the entire musical, titled ‘The Raven King’ but it gets interrupted about five lines in bc Neil starts singing over him
- “I do what I want” – andrew minyard’s first solo but the choreography is the exact same from bet on it in hsm 2
- Kevin always, ALWAYS breaking the fourth wall and monologuing how much he hates his team to the audience
- the guy who plays Kevin is a fan favorite, arguably his acting is the best and his song “Never Been Skiing” sold like crazy
- DANCE OFFS
- when shit starts to get sadder……songs start to get sadder
- the song “Nathaniel” left everyone in the audience in tears… holy shit don’t forget the scene in act 2
- and the other scene in act 2…..fuck
- there’s lots of crying.. like any good musical
- but also its funny.. like nicky has some really comedic lines and his song (“I just want a gay friend”) is fantastic…
- its so uplifting too!!!”
- u can’t tell me that they didnt somehow fit the music to no scrubs by tlc, zero to hero from the hercules soundtrack, and wannabe by the spice girls in this production
- this show gains a cult following
- tony’s are won……. shitty high school productions are put on….. its truly amazing
add to this if you want!!! credit also to @skysap for giving me ideas!!!
