[very long post] Hi theater kids! I want to share a musical idea I’ve had for a whiiiiillleee and recently flipped on its head and had an amazing idea for today. Titled: The Matchmaker

The idea: A person who can find the perfect partner for anyone except themselves is on a hunt to find “the one” for them. One day they do find someone that romantically loves them… but they can’t replicate those feelings cause they’re aromantic.

This idea first popped into my head after I watched Sweeney Todd live in april of 2023 (in NL, t’was absolutely phenomenal) so it started out as a look into someones life who, at some point, would be driven to near insanity because they can’t find the right one, and later on that they can’t feel the feelings the other feels. This idea, at some point, became quite boring for me.

So I tried to flip the idea on its head and, to be honest, the new idea fits so much more and seems so much more fun and engaging. Now “The Matchmaker” is a tv show-like musical. There’s 10 contestants and, after 1 night, at least 2 of them will have been coupled together and will leave as a couple thanks to the host of the programmer, the matchmaker.

The matchmaker secretly wants to find the one for themselves but is unable to do so. Using their talent to find the right one for others, they try to make a living off of it by making it a tv show while still trying to find the one for them.

This tv show is widely successful and has been running for a couple of years. Over time it unknowingly became more important that most of the contestants are dramatic caricatures to gain more money and finding the right ones became less important. But the matchmaker still keeps a clean record of no immediate break ups within the couples they find. The only real breakups between couples happen years after their episodes aired.

The people backstage also get to shine too. Getting to interact with the characters as if they were a part of a real recording. They get lines and jokes as well.

The musical is a recording session of one of the episodes for a new season. The audience is like an audience at a recording. There’s screens telling the audience when to clap. Some jokes will be told with the help of these screens too.

The stage is the set of the show, with a little side stage where there’s a “confession booth” where the contestants can confess some stuff that’ll be edited into the show during the recordings.

Around halfway through the show it becomes clear to the host that there’s only 1 guest compatible, a very basic person with nothing special going on with them that was just added there to reach the 10 needed contestants. This confuses the host. But what confuses the host more is that none of the other 9 contestants seem like good fits. Who is this person that the 1 contestant is compatible to?

The host tells the contestants that only 1 contestant seems to be compatible. Most contestants are alright with this information, but 1 contestant, a very rich and famous contestant, really wants to go home with a partner that night. So they go to the host and threaten to sue the entire show if they aren’t the one paired with the contestant. (With a kick-ass song to boot.)

This frightens the host, they don’t want to lose their job. But they know that the 2 contestants aren’t compatible. After trying to find who is compatible, they realize something big. The person the contestant is compatible with is the host themselves.

But that can’t be, right? The host has never felt romantic attraction to anyone, how can this be? This is when one of the camera people comes in and tells the host that the connection is likely a platonic one, which is perfectly valid. But the host, in absolute fear and stress over the entire situation, has a hard time accepting this. They run off, going to tell the compatible contestant about the thing.

The camera person really wants to help the host but isn’t sure how. Until they listen back to the song the rich contestant sung to threaten the host. One of the other camera people, a big fan of the rich contestant, filmed the singing. They listen back and realize that the contestant not-so-subtly hinted to them being in a money laundering scheme. The camera people quickly start investigating this.

A bit later, it is time for the host to tell who are coupled together. As they try to say that the 2 contestants are coupled, the camera people talk through them to tell everyone that the host and the compatible contestant are the new couple. Telling them that platonic love is just as valid as any other form of legal love that exists. This really angers the rich contestant. Just as they’re calling their lawyer to sue the show, the police break in and arrest them for money laundering. The show and musical end on a happy end!

The big theme of this musical would be how love comes in many types. This musical would also touch on how the showbiz industry works and would be very, very queer. Not just by the fact that the host being aromantic is a big part of their character, but also due to the fact that any role can be played by anyone. With the only limit being their vocal range.

All characters would have 2 names that work and can be used. It’s up to the actor to choose the name they feel most comfortable with, or to come up with a new name that also works. Pronouns can be changed very easily, especially cause the songs all stick to gender neutral terms so nothing has to be changed in there for it to still work!

As someone on the aromantic spectrum, I’ve been wanting to show aromantic representation that’s purely about the romantic side for a while, and this is the biggest idea I’ve had around it.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading the entire idea! I’m really curious on what you think about this idea. (And note that this is just an idea. I didn’t note that well enough the last time I shared a musical idea and that led to many people being confused and wanting to sign up/help even though I wasn’t sure I was even gonna do it haha)

Bye :D!!

Chris O'Dowd, Richard Ayoade, and Katherine Parkinson in The IT Crowd (2006) The Work Outing

S2E1

Jen is thrilled when the handsome Philip asks her out to the theatre though less so when Roy and Moss also invite themselves along. The play in question is 'Gay', a screamingly camp musical which Moss loves but Jen begins to question Philip's sexuality and is not flattered when he confesses he fancies her because she looks like a man. Roy meanwhile fakes an accident in the disabled toilet which results in his being loaded into a mini-van bound back to Manchester with other disabled play-goers and Jen is surprised to see Moss working behind the bar after he used the staff toilet.

*Richard Ayoade's wife Lydia Fox plays Laura Knightley, the musical actress.

TIFF 2023 Film Review: Dicks The Musical ★★★★

Not for the easily offended, or those lacking a sense of humour, Dicks: The Musical—which opened the Midnight Madness section of the 48th Toronto International Film Festival last night—is a delectably outrageous, endlessly kooky, and thrillingly depraved instant queer cult classic. Some movies feel like they’re actively trying to achieve cult status, Dicks never does. It just has it in its DNA.…

I dedicate this post to the funniest beef ever

[outromoony]

"I'm not like other girls." Well, that's good for you, but I am. I love reading books and fanfics. I love obsessing over fictional characters and screaming music at the top of my lungs. I love fangirling over celebrities and getting overly invested in ships that will never be canon. I cry over sad endings and laugh at memes no one else understands. I love getting way too excited over small things, daydreaming about impossible scenarios, and staying up late to finish just one more chapter. I love getting lost in fictional worlds, losing sleep over them, and rewatching my favorite shows a million times. I love spending hours scrolling through fan art and feeling alive through the stories, music, and love for people I will never meet. I love being like other girls.
