Opening Night: TxN the Musical makes its debut!

[shy_violette]

*the curtain rises on an empty stage, backlit in a blue wash on the cyc wall. As the opening strains of music play, two figures walk out onto the stage, and into the crosslights, which provide a stark contrast of light and shadow over their features. They stand at opposite ends of the stage, facing one another. A third figure walks into USC, where

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!!

Gah, I wanted to read it while I listened to the songs, but my computer's doing that weird thing where it won't play sound, and I'd have to restart and I didn't want to yet, so I'll listen to the songs tomorrow, but -- AHHH! This is great. The dialogue, the stage directions, and the song transitions -- ohhh, I love the transitions -- it's all perfect. I can completely see this playing out in my mind.

And gah, it makes me want to see it on a stage.

HEARTS FOR YOU: ♥♥♥♥

I loved this idea when I first heard about it, and if anything, it's exceeded my expectations. ♥ I love musicals in general, and this just works, so well. Very, very much looking forward to the next part. :D

*giggles* Thanks so much! I love musicals too; a lot of my ideas sprang out of teaching music theater songs to my private voice students. I'm sitting there while my students are singing, thinking, "Gosh... I could totally see Tuti singing this song, while thinking about Nagayan..." and now there's three acts to it. @.@

I'm glad you like it, and I hope you like the music too... sometimes characters talk to me in my head, and Eiji has a great rant at one point, thanks to the song I have him singing. ^__^ I'll post it when we get to that point, probably.

OMG I LOVE IT.

This is a perfect way to send me off to sleep, with happy little TxN thoughts. ^_^

[shy_violette]

Thanks so much! ^__^ I always love reading a fic before bed, so that I can think about it... and I'm so glad I could do that for you!

The interactions between the characters and stuffs. Very pretty :3 I forgot what I was going to say, actually. :/
The songs fit really really well they're like, prettylove <3. *loves* ♥

Oh, I was wondering, are the lack of stage um, entries deliberate? As in as in throughout the entire thing, you never mentioned from which side the actors entered and exited and stuff. Yeah. Including all those and stuff would make the whole thing look even more 'script-ish' so it depends on um whether you want it to feel that way! *is probably not making sense*
But I think you did a terrific job :33 Is it a CYC wall or a CYC screen? 'Cos I've only come across screens, no walls. Not that I've seen a lot, though, so yeah. >.>

[shy_violette]

Caught! *dies* I'm more of a choreographer than a director, so a lot of times I don't think about stage directions. But you're right; as the director I should be thinking about these things. They're (almost) as important as character motivation! =p

as for the cyc... it can either be a screen or a wall, depending. The theaters I spent most of my youth in had a blank back wall that served as the cyc, so I usually call it the cyc wall. (and heaven knows if I've spelled it correctly!)

I'm glad you like the story though! (I'll get right to work on the stage directions. ^_^)

:33
yeah, it's usually shortened as "cyc". The actual name for it is "cyclorama", if I'm not wrong. I fail so much if I am >.>
