Subj: An Unfinished Tale from the Hard Drive of L!: Lair Legion: The Musical Posted: Thu May 20, 2010 at 02:58:24 pm EDT (Viewed 419 times) | |||
This is a story from way back as you can probably tell from who is listed as being the "current" line-up of the Legion. But It's an idea that I thought had merit at the time & still kind of do. Why I didn't finish it was probably because I wasn't sure where it was going or what the point of of it was. I don't get very far into the story & some of doesn't make much sense but I present to you all for kicks & giggles. In a Small theater in Goth Haven, the actors meet to discuss their next performance. "All right, people. We need to get this party started." Said there director/dance instructor/costume designer/moral support, Jonathan Rasmussen. The 10 to 15 actors all gather around their director. "So, My brothers & sisters, what do we want to do for our spring performance?" "Well, I wouldn't mind doing some Shakespeare!" Ian, the only brit in the group, said. "No, let's do Britney Spears meets Shakespeare, Oops! I doth think I did it again!" Kirk said. Everyone but Ian laughed. "I found this musical about superheroes, I thought it was cool." Andrew said. He hands the musical to the director. "Uh, huh… Yeah! Oh, that's good…. Interesting!" Jon said as he looked thought the musical. "Ok, were are doing this. The Spring performance of the Little Theater of Errors will be doing, Lair Legion, the musical." Everyone cheered, but Ian. It was new. It was edgy. It wasn't something done million times to death. About a week later, parts were assigned. "Now, I have found all the major people in the Musical. The Musical is about the current line up of the Lair Legion. Ok, after some thought of who would do each part justice, who kind of looks/acts/sounds like the characters. Here are the parts: Andrew, you are the Lair Legion's Leader, Fin Fang Foom. We will need to make a Finny costume. Next, Bryan, you will be the Lair Legion's deputy leader, Goldeneyed. You will need to lose 5 pounds. Whitney, you will be Sorceress. We will need to dye you bright blue hair brown, a wig just won't do. Then Kirk, you might have a challenge but I know you can do it, you will be playing CrazySugarFreakBoy! Next up, for our little Lair Legion, Bill. We will need to dye your hair, you will be playing the flame hair colored hero known as Nats. David & Cassie will be playing characters that are connected. Cassie has it easy, we never see her. She will be playing Cressida, the tape worm inside of dull thud, being played by David. For a Shakespearean actor, Ian. He will act our major villain, the Hooded Hood. So, Ian just act like you but 5 times as worst. Next up, Penny will be playing Pegasus. You will have the most costume changes from Human form to centaur with wings form to Pegasus form. We might need to get some to be the Horse rear end. Then, we has the Lair Legion's Bad Boy, Trickshot which will be played by this company's nice guy, Scott. The Legion's last two women will be played By Sarah & Mandy. Sarah will be playing Dancer, while Mandy plays Ziles. Ok, there are the songs we will be singing as a group. I will hand out the few solos that are in the musical separately. Ian, Andrew & Cassie, see me after for you parts." "Wait, Cassie gets a solo. what are they going to do shine the spot on my lower chest?" David said. "Yes." A few days later, most of the people have started to learn their lines. Almost no one knows their dance moves. Ian is on the stage alone. He is practicing his solo. He is wearing the fake goatee they gave him. He is also wearing the black cloak they gave him, he is not wearing the hood. Some are calling him the Unhooded Hood. There is a single spot light, all the other lights are off. The music starts. "Ioldobaoth Winkelweald." Ian sings, then from behind can be heard some singers say "Evil!" "Ioldobaoth Winkelweald." "Evil!" "I am Ioldobaoth Winkelweald, better known as the Hooded Hood, I am evil." As he sings evil, the singer say it also. "I use agents & unknown agents to carry out my plans. I want to take over the world. Why?" "Evil!" "No, I can make it better." "Ioldobaoth Winkelweald." "Evil!" "Yes, I am Ioldobaoth Winkelweald." "Evil!" The lights turn on, the cast & director are in the audience. "Was that good?" Ian asks "Yes, but let's try it was the dance steps & the hood on." Jon says The light turn off. Ian with hood on starts to dance. He goes through the same bit on lines. "Good, Ian." Jon says as the lights turn on. "Next, the Cressida solo. David get on stage. Cassie are you position?" Jon says. "Yes." says an off stage voice. The spotlight shine onto David's lower chest, he is in full dull thud costume. Cassis starts to sing. As she does David starts to dance about. the spotlight follows him around the stage. It's a good thing David took 4 years of ballet, or he could do the dance with out hurting himself. | |||
