I feel like this has been going on for at least three full moon cycles now and yet y’all are only on episode 4?  

[Rhisiart]

While I've been hard at work, I've been listening to and watching a lot of theatre lately. So I randomly decided to pick a song for the 7 contestants left at random that I believe represents their brand well (no shade meant).  Take a guess on who is who.

The challenges are more overbearing so we decided to give them more time for more quality entries than a regular season. That and well they've been getting extensions every week f.

My red carpet look is classic Colleen. When I step out onto the red carpet, I know that all eyes are on me. A vision in black and gold, my dress floats with me down the carpet. My hair is tucked into a cute bow and my bangs cover my eyes to give a sense of mystery and elusiveness to the look. When will the EGOT winner Colleen next show her face? I don't know and I don't care - I'm not blonde, but I'm skinny, I'm rich and a little bit of a bitch. I stop for a second, sign a few autographs before strutting back down the runway and wowing the paparazzi. My look is signature Colleen and brings out both the dark and light themes of my musical. My dress has sparkly gold star detailing which adds elegance and grace to my look.

Hi judges. Sorry for all the PMs. I've had a pretty tough week, so I made a conscious decision to break away from my usual super serious and edgy schtick and try something quite light-hearted and fun. For my musical, I imagined it as a very camp and over the top affair, with a "so-bad-it's-good" sorta appeal (in b4 I'm dragged cos it's terrible), and a cross up between Sailor Moon meets Bayonetta meets Drag Race, with lots of flamboyant posing and theatricality. The plot itself I imagined as a space adventure plot of a band of 3 drag queens travelling different time periods and punishing those who give drag a bad name, like Evita. In this case, the 3 drag queens are different timeline versions of Carbon; specifically "present" Carbon as a very green and arrogant baby drag queen, who thinks she's all that; Future Carbon who is very self assured and above everyone else; and Adriana Granday, who is Carbon in a completely different timeline, who would be very carefree and whimsical. I hope you like the concept and cheesy dialogue. In terms of runway, for my opening night I thought I'd go for JRPG Final Boss (First Form) realness, since I think this is very much my aesthetic. I think I got good praise for the monstrosity of my Envy look, so I thought going in line with that idea would work in this instance too. I hope you like my entry, I tried my best!

And below are the lyrics to "Good Mo(u)rning". I'd imagined that the intro and the chorus were written to the most notable part of Chopin's Marche Funèbre, while the rest would be in a far more traditional show tune glob of saccharine whatever.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

[Spoken]: Oh, joy. Another day. Dear God, why'd you let me wake up again?

 

Different person day by day
Each one hoping for a better me
Faithless yet, still I pray
When will I get to the better me?

 

Never, says I!
Because I'd surely rather die
It's true! I'm blue!
And there's nothing I can do
I'll scream until I'm out of breath
I'll slash my wrists and hope for death
I'd hope for a time
When all the skies are gray
A little more sadness won't hurt
Black's my color, anyway

 

Good mo(u)rning, my love
It'll be a terrible day

 

These bags under my eyes are nothing
Compared to the baggage I carry
There's dust on the mantle
From the star I was born to be
I thought I'd give it all
Just to feel happy
But all this doom and gloom
Is what I'd rather see

 

Good mo(u)rning, my love
It'll be a terrible day

But I wouldn't want

To have it another way

 

I'm sure the other girls
Are bound to say I'm bitter
I'll take all of my angst
And cover it in glitter
If I'm bored with life
Let me be so in solace
Away from chaos
Away from the cheer
There's nothing at all
That anesthesia
And Valium can't solve

 

Good mo(u)rning, my love
It'll be a terrible day

But I wouldn't want

To have it another way

Depression and obsession

Irony over ambition

Good mo(u)rning, my love

I know I'll love today

Pebbles Quest to Survive

 

Musical continuation of my lip sync from last season (which was a play), with a whole new plot and direction! Plus new characters cuz why tf nawt. The whole idea of this was not to be serious, at all. It's supposed to be a fun, & probably, off Broadway musical that's more tongue-in-cheek. Also, wouldn't recommend anyone under the age of 18 watching this LOL. Playbill is intentionally messy, so don't clock me for it. And yes, that's Citrus' head hanging, sorry bout it.

Something elegant, something pretty, etc. Ofc i'm holding a Razzie, cuz i'm a fcking flop, but at least I won something.

Glimmer of Hope

A New Musical

 

by Gladys Lux Maure

 

 

 

 

Plot Summary:

 

Act 1:

 

High-schooler Richie sits in the middle of a classroom, isolated from the ruckus the rest of the class is causing. He is not so much an outcast as he is invisible, unnoticed and ignored by everyone. (Hurricane) As the final class of the day ends, Richie bumps into his rather popular classmate Thomas while leaving. Thomas apologizes and asks for his name, but Richie stumbles over his words and leaves in silence. At home, Richie is stuck at the dinner table between his strict and rigid parents Raquel and Norm. Both, in their own ways, try to speak to their son and get him to open up, with Norm worrying about his work ethic and future and Raquel worrying about his emotional well being. (Good Cop, Bad Cop) Richie excuses himself from the table and heads to his room.

 

Unable to sleep, Richie grabs his journal and begins to write. In this moment of self-reflection, he condemns himself for his constant unhappiness, comparisons to others, and the need to please his parents (I Can’t) Feeling restless, he leaves his house to go on a walk, when someone crashes into him. The boy named Gabriel is part of a theatre-troupe and is heading to a rehearsal when he offers to take Richie. Richie is nervous and hesitant, but after encouragement from Gabriel, decides to take a chance and go.

 

Headlined by Iris Aster, a drag queen of the highest caliber, the troupe rehearses a rousing and raunchy burlesque number. (Spotlight) After the performance, Gabriel introduces everyone to Richie. Richie is overwhelmed by the atmosphere and people, but Iris and Gabriel make him feel slightly at ease. Richie is in awe of the number and wishes to have the confidence, charisma, and passion Iris has. Richie makes a promise to Iris and Gabriel to visit rehearsals again and heads home.

 

At school the next day, Richie runs into Gabriel, who coincidentally happens to be in a neighboring class. Gabriel answers Richie’s many questions about the theatre group and their mission is to inspire people and help them find themselves. Their conversation is cut short by Thomas who asks Richie if he completed any homework and Gabriel sneaks away unnoticed by Thomas. Richie is socially awkward and quiet, but Thomas finds something intriguing about him. Thomas leads a back-and-forth between them, getting to know Richie better and exchanging each other’s names, and asks to become friends. Richie, after a moment’s hesitation, says yes. (Your Turn)

 

At home, Raquel and Norm look over Richie’s grades and forms and lose their patience and Richie’s meek and submissive attitude. As Richie escapes to his room, Raquel and Norm both feel frustration at their son, each other, and themselves. Both parents worry about their son, and suspect that he is hiding many things from them. Raquel and Norm reminisce about the last time Richie was truly happy and how they want that moment again (Our Son)

 

Richie once again sneaks out of the house at night to visit the theatre, making it just in time to see the troupe’s show-stopping number (Fireball) Every member of the troupe gets a moment to shine, with Iris going as far as pulling a fire-eating stunt. Gabriel runs to grab Richie and encourages him to show off his talent. Center stage with the cast onlooking, Richie begins to freak out, but Iris calms him down by admitting that she gets very anxious and nervous before a show and how those feelings are natural. Iris, Gabriel, and the rest of the cast show their support for Richie and allow him to take the floor.

 

Richie beings to sing Iris’ song. Beginning the song shaky, Richie leaves the cast entranced when his vocals begin to soar and take command of the theatre (Spotlight Reprise) Iris notices the passion hidden inside of Richie, and offers to let Richie join the show. Gabriel proposes the idea for Richie to perform as a drag queen and use it as sort of an alter-ego of sorts to keep it a secret from his family. Richie, shellshocked, is hesitant before deciding to accept and joins the group officially. Through the following weeks, Iris coaches and trains Richie. Through a montage of stage performances, Richie transforms into his new alter-ego Hope. Before Hope’s official debut, she starts to have a panic attack while Iris is on stage. Gabriel gives Hope a couple of pills, promising that they will help keep him calm. Hope performs her very own song (written by Gabriel) to an adoring crowd. (Glimmer of Hope)

 

…

 

Act 2:

 

Hope begins the act performing a new number. She has gained the confidence she has always dreamed of and the positive attention she has secretly craved but still feels empty and longs for something more. (Got It All) Raquel and Norm discuss their son during breakfast and how he’s changed. He has become more talkative and appears happier, but also looks exhausted and has become more secretive than before. (Good Cop, Bad Cop Reprise)

 

Richie is hiding out in a bathroom at school. He has become addicted to anxiety pills and has resorted to raiding his parent’s medication. He has also begun to slip in school academically. He is frustrated how things always tend to go wrong when he tries to make a change and debates coming clean to his parents. Gabriel looms over him, explaining how Richie has only begun starting to feel happier and how he needs to avoid getting dragged back down by complicated matters. (Dive)

 

Richie begins to sing to himself to calm his nerves, when Thomas walks in and watches. Thomas is blown away by his voice, and invites him to a party being held by the student body. Thomas offers an opportunity to sing in front of everyone. Once again, Richie and Thomas playfully battle each other in a game of verbal wits. Unnoticed by Thomas, Gabriel’s shadows Richie and voices his inner fears. Richie accepts and heads home with Gabriel to get ready. (Say Yes)

 

Gabriel forces Richie to become his alter ego, thinking that it will give Hope the same confidence and solace he feels on stage. While getting ready and taking some more meds, Hope receives a call from Thomas. The two talk and their conversation begins to take a turn to the intimate. However, Hope’s parents catch her in the middle of this. Raquel and Norm confront Hope about her secrecy and rebellion, and Hope begins to slowly break down in a panic. In a fit of rage, she begins to vent her inner frustrations and worries, and leaves the house in a rush, leaving her parents stunned and hurting.

 

Hope reaches the party, still reeling with emotion. Gabriel coaxes Hope to forget and enjoy the moment, handing her alcohol. Hope tumbles through a downward spiral of intoxication, ironically becoming the life of the party. (Mass Destruction) Hope becomes ill and Thomas takes her upstairs. The two begin to share an intimate moment and kiss. Gabriel enters the room and stands over Hope and begins to voice her darkest thoughts. More and more voices speak out and Thomas begins to get rougher and soon begins to choke Hope. Hope panics and runs out to the middle of the party, crashing to the floor. Everyone is silent as Hope has an anxiety attack. Hope tries to sing to calm herself, but Gabriel begins to laugh. Soon, everyone begins to laugh, and the sound grows louder and louder. (Fireball Reprise) Hope screams and runs away.

 

Hope ends up at the theatre and finds Iris waiting for him. She weeps in her arms and tells her everything, wondering why nothing ever goes right for her. Iris explains that there is no easy cure for what Hope feels inside, but says there won’t be any recovering unless Hope continues to strive to be better. Hope expresses that she wants to stay with Iris forever. Iris gets teary and says while she wishes the same, she can’t protect her forever. She has shown Hope the tools to help be better and get better, but the work lies within. (Healing) Iris asks Hope if she’s willing to take that step, and after a beat, Hope says yes.

 

Richie wakes up to find himself hooked up in a hospital bed. Raquel and Norm are asleep next to him. The two stir awake and begin to sob. They recount how they couldn’t find Richie until they received a phone call. Thomas had followed Richie out of the party, and found him at an abandoned theater, with gashes in his wrists. When talking with police, Raquel and Norm went into his room and discovered his journal. It is revealed that Iris Aster, Gabriel, and the theatre troupe do not exist, and the theatre has been abandoned for years. Every moment Richie experienced with them were dreams when asleep, and hallucinations brought on by his depression and anxiety when awake. Iris and the cast were a solace for Richie, a fantasy of what he desired and the love and attention he desperately craved, and Gabriel was his inner voice that pushed him to take risks, but also ended up leading Richie down dark, unforgiving paths with unrelenting critical thoughts. The party scene was largely in Richie’s head, where no one laughed at his panic attack and Thomas never crossed any boundaries in their intimate moment.

 

Raquel and Norm profess their unwavering love to their son and their desire to see him truly happy. (Our Son Reprise) Richie responds by finally opening up to his parents and expressing the vast sea of feelings he has. All three acknowledge that it is a complicated process and that healing will take a lot of time, but they have each other and will always be together. (Learn To Love) Months later, Hope is performing at a recital at her school. Thomas helps her to get ready and talks her through the process, keeping Hope calm. The two kiss before Hope takes the stage, and she sings a song dedicated to people like herself. That depression is a cycle, and how it takes a lot of time and effort, but that happiness is possible, especially with the support of those that love you. (Who I Am)

 

...

 

I Can’t (Scene and Lyrics):

 

I look to see a multitude of people all around

I’m lost at sea drowning and I cannot make a sound

My reflection stares right back at me and it hurts to see

To look right in my eyes and hate everything about me

 

The boys at school look twice their age, with abs as hard as steel

My flab still stays even after skipping every other meal

How they look and talk, and dress and walk

They have everything I want

So I hide away, and turn the lock

And sleep in darkness black

 

No one sees me, and if they could

They’d be disgusted, like they should

If they knew who I was, what I am, why I am, what I like, who I like, why I like

They would know and they’d see why I am, why I’m me

Would they laugh, would they care, would they scream or just stare

I’m not prepared for the pain or the hurt

So I can’t-

 

*Song is abruptly cut off with Gabriel running on Stage Left. He slams straight into Richie and both fall to the floor, but Gabriel gets up first*

 

Gabriel: Ow….. *looks to Richie on the ground* Oh ****! Hey, Dude! *runs to Richie and helps him up* I’m so sorry, are you okay?

 

Richard: *disoriented* Um yeah, I think I’m okay. *tries to stand but stumbles*

 

Gabriel: Woah! *slowly sits Richie down and sits next to him* Maybe we should both a take a breather. So… My name’s Gabriel, you can call me Gabe. *holds his hand out for a handshake, then grabs Richie’s hand himself and shakes*

 

Richie: Hi. Uh, my name is Richard.

 

Gabriel: So, uh…. It’s pretty late out. Why were you walking in the darkness?

 

Richie: Oh. I, um, I was… I don’t even know. I just feel… I don’t know, I just needed some air.

 

Gabriel: Is everything okay?

 

Richie: Yes and no? It feels like a whole lot of nothing when I really think about it.

 

Gabriel: You don’t need a reason to feel sad, you know. We all have moments like that.

 

Richie: I know, I’m sorry. *looks down at the ground*

 

Gabriel: Why are you apologizing? Hey… *leans closer to Richie, wanting to comfort him but unsure of what to say or do*

 

Richie: Um, can I ask what you’re doing out late?

 

Gabriel: Oh, I was on my way to rehearsals.

 

Richie: Are you some sort of band or something?

 

Gabriel: *puffs out chest* I give off that sort of cool rocker vibe?

 

Richie: ...I guess?

 

Gabriel: *chuckles* No, actually I’m in a theatre-troupe. We don’t really have a set name, and we’re all different ages and come from different places. But, we all love to perform, so we all perform at the Carter Theatre.

 

Richie: I never see anyone at that old movie theatre during the day.

 

Gabriel: All of us are usually busy during the day, so we get together late at night like this to perform. We all use it as a way to kinda unwind.

 

Richie: *looks around and grabs some papers Gabriel dropped* Is this music?

 

Gabriel: Yeah, it’s all sheet music. I’m actually a composer, I wrote these. They’re all ****, but my goal is to write a song I’m really proud of one day.

 

Richie: Wow. That’s so amazing. I wish I could do something like that.

 

Gabriel: You can, though! Like, nobody’s stopping you.

 

Richie: But there is; me. *hands Gabriel his sheet music*

 

Gabriel: ...Hey Richie.

 

Richie: Huh?

 

Gabriel: Oh! Is it okay if I call you that? I, uh… Do you want to come with? It’s a great time, everybody is super cool and chill and-

 

Richie: No. Uh, I mean. I can’t. But thank you. *turns to go*

 

I want to.

I do, I want to.

I want to learn something I never knew.

I want to see something, see it with you.

 

I want to fly, I want to soar

I want do things I haven’t before

I want to run, and shout, and lose every doubt

That keeps pulling me and pulling me down.

 

But I’m scared. Of the unknown.

Of where I’ll end once the wind is blown.

 

It’s like sitting on a fence, and I just can’t decide

To jump back down to things familiar, or just swallow my pride

And take a chance on things that are exciting and new

But I know I just don’t have the strength to maybe get me through

 

And I can’t. I just can’t. I can’t do anything.

I can’t fly, I can’t walk, I can’t move, I can’t scream, I can’t sing.

I can’t be anyone else but me.

And I hate me. So you see

 

Why I can’t. So I don’t. But I want to.

 

Gabriel: Hey, look at me. *grabs Richie’s face* You’re gonna be okay. I know we just met, but… I’ll be with you. I want to help. And I think I can try. Can you try?

 

Richie: I can’t do many things. But…

 

I know I can breathe., so maybe I can try.

Maybe I can get up again, and not lay down and cry

I just need one step forward, without two steps back

One step forward, to sort of get on track

 

I’m not prepared, I’m not ready at all

But if you’ll be around to catch me when I fall

Then I think, with one small step, I could say that life’s began

Maybe, just maybe, if I try, maybe I can.

 

Richard: *grabs Gabriel’s hand tightly* Will you show me the way, Gabe?

 

Gabriel: *smiles wide* Took you long enough. C’mon, before the sun comes up! *Hand in hand, Gabe and Richie run to the Carter Theatre, where our story finally starts to unfold*

 

 

.....

 

 

 

On the red carpet opening of Glimmer of Hope, I'm giving you class and glamour. In honor of my avatar, I wanted to give sort of a couture Elphaba look for this runway. I am wearing a Mugler-inspired ensemble. A form-fitted woman's suit that accentuates my ass and thigh gap, with matching high heels of Liza bob, I am ready to stomp the red carpet and begin my press campaign for my Tony Awards this year. Tina Fey, Lea Salonga, and Spongebob, I'm coming for you bitches!

 

...

 

This has been my favorite challenge in ADR ever. I can't believe I got to do a challenge like this. Theatre has been very rough on me for many many years but it has also been very kind, and this has kind of rekindled the love I had begun to lose. I really hope you all enjoy this, because I had the best time making it and I'm so so proud. I truly poured my heart into this musical. Love you guys.
