In a parallel universe a group of pioneering producers are about to mount a brand new production of TheatreBoard - The Musical!But they have not yet released a synopsis or casting information, so we must fill in the blanks... In this alternate reality, who plays you? Or are you part of the creative team? I'd probably be taking more of a musically creative role. Given my track record of attempts at success on a smaller scale and people's love-it-or-hate-it reception of myself, perhaps I'd be a SerialSondheim. We all know the role of @ryan would be played by Patti LuPone. Whilst @emicardiff would be contributing to the dramaturgy ala Marianne Elliot. Not having met him I'm blind-casting but maybe we'd see BurlyBeaR played by Brian Blessed. Or maybe not? |

I can envision @ryan doing a tap dancing number with Jonny Bailey and Hadley Fraser.
@theatremonkey.com would be the producer in the mould of Scott Rudin or Cameron Mackintosh.

I'm sure @ryan would love to be tapped by Bailey and Fraser...

There needs to be a whole plot line about the crazy fans of shows and how poor little aingidh got caught in the middle of all of it. |

Will there be an “origin story” reference to WOS...?

Will there be an “origin story” reference to WOS...? Prologue. Into Overture: "Whats on [the] Stage, tonight?" |

'Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do many times did I see (insert show here) in a year?'

TheatreBoard!
TheatreBoard!
How to win
an Olivier Award?
Who’s in the cast?
Who will direct?
No, not them...
I have to object!
Is there a dog?
What height is the stage?
Dayseats? No!
That fills me with rage!
I loved the cast
You really should go
But oh my word
Bad behaviour at a show!
Some sang along
Some played with their phone
Some kept quiet
Not Patti LuPone!

How long is booking going to be (how long is booking going to be)
Look at all the people, (at all the people)

As it'll clearly be a full on spectacle that will fill the palladium for many a year I will take charge of lighting and pyro

I've gotten through Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber
Gee, that was fun and a half
When you've been through Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber
Anything else is a laugh

We’re a special kind of people: TheatreBoard people
We live in a world of our own
Our days are tied to forums
We post and we quote
Observe every move
Critique every note.
We can’t picture being anything but Board people
Civilians find the whole thing quite bizarre
But that hop in our hearts
When the overture starts
Helps us know how lucky we are.
It’s a minefield at all times to be a Board member
The mods get all officious and we’re gone
In the last closed down thread
We regret what we said
But we know TheatreBoard must go on...
And on...
And on...

I close my eyes, drew back the curtain,
to see for certain, what I have to do.
Not so far away, Jonny Bailey is greeting
I'm there for a er..meeting
Any Scheme will Do

Quiet please, there's a lady on stage
And your chatting and texting may put her
In a rage.
Don't rattle your ice, or play with your phone
She might just do a Lupone
Quit please, there's an actor up there
Even if we can't see him through your towering hair
Don't arrive late, or bring smelly food.
Unless you want to get boo-ed.
So put your hands together - at the end of the play -not every time someone comes on stage ffs!
Keep your whistles and whooping for another day.
Stand for the ovation
If you feel it deserves it and not just to make a dash for the station.

Once in every year
There comes a show like that
It starts off with a tour
And ends up falling flat
Oh is this the show that fails like that?

Oh, this is going to be brilliant!
Which theatre are we looking at and will there be day seats and/or a lottery?
