*Ghost staring at nothing after having just said something to Soap*
Soap: ...Ghost?
Ghost, momentarily coming back to reality: I don't like how I said that. I could say it better. Give me a minute...

I have phantom of the opera stuck in my head, so pls join me in the idea of a phantom steddie au
#steddie#join me in the brainrot#no details in particular just rotating phantom!eddie and christine!steve in my head#eddie trying to get steve to break away from everyones expectations while coaching him in music#steve thinking hes not anyone special although he fuckin nails performances and is overflowing with charisma#i like to think the kids are investigating the opera to see whos or whats behind all the shenanigans#also eddie dropping the chandelier on a bunch of rich people#but just the sheer eddie shenanigans#yk hed fuck with people too#like. hide in the walls and pretend to be a voice in their head#i also like to think that CCs there in the orchestra pit#whether or not they know eddie is fucking hilarious#cause to them eddie could just be Some Guy or “ya the phantom joins us sometimes when we rehearse. super chill dude”#maybe argyle doing sound checks n stuff like “oh ya#s not a ghost dude. just some guy. saw him trip on the catwalk twice yesterday“#but hes always high so noone believes him

tomorrow is the FIRST of TWO shows in LA
why would some guy from sweden care about 9/11
LA IS NOT THE END OF THE TOUR
Mexico is less than a week after LA
followed by south america then australia
THE TOUR ENDS NEXT MONTH IN AUSTRALIA
he said the best time to film would be if they did two shows in the same place. AND it's LA, where film shit happens. it's device free so the film version isn't full of a bunch of phone screens
there was a wholeass lawsuit defining and clarifying the line of what ghouls are and are not. they are, officially, anonymous interchangeable hired backing musicians for live shows. adding any one ghoul in particular to the canon lore would only re-blur that line why the FUCK would he ever want to do that.
tl;dr they're just filming tomorrow it's not the end of the tour please fucking chill oh my god
#the band ghost#re imperatour#i literally saw someone say 'tomorrow (as in monday) is the end of the reimperatour'#like first of all there are two LA shows#second of all OTHER COUNTRIES EXIST#the possessed ghoul theories are even more bonkers so i had to add that last point in there#can't just reblog my previous post or it won't go into the tags#there's another point i have but idk how to phrase it#but if copia dies and there's a new character#a lot would have to change. maybe not the setlist but the bits. the voice. the personality#i'd imagine that takes rehearsing. when the hell would they be doing that

18 and 28?
18. do you believe in ghosts and/or aliens?
I believe in aliens in the way of 'I think it's pretty likely that other life exists somewhere out there in the universe,' i think. I believe in ghosts partly as a bit partly for real. Like, I've been in spaces that were probably haunted before, y'know?
28. do you collect anything?
Not actively! Though I do refer to things I've accumulated a lot of (games, tea, yarn, gel pens) as 'collections' though.
#jort post#ask game#thanks for the ask!#The church my theatre group rehearsed in when I was a teen?#I'd say there were ghosts in there. The ghosts were pretty chill though so I don't think ghosts are something to be afraid of

repeating myself here i know but everytime i think about dave malloy’s moby dick musical i go a little wild in the brain...genuinely contains some of his best writing imo. like i think the high points of mdamr rival those of octet compositionally and preludes/comet literarily. have you LISTENED to ahab? sermon?? a squeeze of the hand?? plus there’s the variety of the more fun numbers with bosom friend and cetology and stubb kills a whale and the whale as a dish...it’s good writing! it’s good music!! or the numbers that blend drama/emotion with a deceptively sweet tune like shanty and the pacific...and then the serious/dramatic scenes. some of them are fucking gutting, brought to life and emotion even greater than melville’s original prose. whalesong interlude iii/roll on. the pequod meets the rachel (my GD i cannot listen to the pequod meets the rachel without getting weepy. i swear.) but between all the highest highs of the show there’s some deep and utter low points in the writing...i think the script is bloated, the show tries to say too much at once, it’s clumsy and meandering...and ugh, the fedallah monologue...overall the whole product as it is right now makes me so Frustrated cause i see SUCH promise in it (cause there’s So Much there already that’s amazing!!) but the combination of the high points with the lows and all the connective tissue between makes for a messy final product. i really really hope that the show gets revised and revived at some point in the future because i genuinely really want to (and hope to) see it succeed, i think it has something wonderful to offer audiences if it could just find its sea legs (as it were)
#sasha speaks#it's late and i'm exhausted from rehearsal but i'm listening to bits of the audio again and getting emotional and opinion-y again so.#bear with me here.#like i love comet so so much i think it's the strongest large format musical of dave's so far#i think octet slightly edges out comet as my favorite of his shows overall#and of course i have a deep fondness for ghost quartet and preludes too (for different reasons)#but genuinely i think mdamr has some of dave's best songwriting!! period!!#and i see SUCH promise in it...i really want it to shine but the missteps drag. it. down. for real#i want it to succeed i want to shine. i want it to be revised and revived#or at least have an album made...

Christmas With Joe Iconis: How the Songwriter's Annual Holiday Extravaganza Is Marking Its 14th Anniversary
Iconis and Family take the stage at 54 Below this weekend for their regular yuletide blowout.
David Gordon | New York City | December 10, 2024
For well over a decade, Tony-nominated songwriter Joe Iconis and his merry band of performers have spread yuletide cheer at 54 Below during his yearly Joe Iconis Christmas Extravaganza. As Iconis and Family gear up for this weekend’s 14th edition of the show (December 13), Iconis took the time to look back on the history of the spectacular and share how hard — but rewarding — it is to put together.
What inspired you to create the Joe Iconis Christmas Extravaganza, and how has it evolved in the 14 years since its inception? I’ve always had an unironic love of Christmas specials of stage and small screen. The Pee-Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special is among my favorite pieces of art ever, yuletide or not. As a child, I fantasized about having a Christmas special of my very own. In college I’d go to see Charles Busch’s Times Square Angel, performed annually at Theater for a New Audience, and imagine doing something similar if ever given the chance. The Extravaganza — then called the Spectacular, a name that was altered after a cease and desist from Radio City in 2015! — was first performed as a one-night concert at Ars Nova in 2008. It was basically just a typical Iconis & Family concert with some Christmas covers thrown in and one or two scripted moments. I think we had 10 people in the cast which, at the time, was the biggest show I had ever done. It’s grown every year. More songs, more characters, more extravaganza. The show is now a full-scripted musical pretending to be a concert. There are characters that only exist in the world of the Christmas show and, this year more than ever, songs written specifically for the show. Writing the script is basically writing a new full-length musical every year. Can you share some favorite moments or performances that have stuck with you? Annie Golden, as the Rock and Roll Christmas Angel, sings the penultimate song, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” every year. I’ve known Annie as long as I’ve been working professionally in the theater, and I can measure my life in her performances of that song. It’s a moment that is so special to me, and every year I watch her sing it and feel like the luckiest man in the whole world. I also loved the first time we ever did drunk Mrs. Claus [Lorinda Lisitza] and depressed Santa [Jason SweetTooth Williams]. They were the first scripted characters I ever wrote for the show, and they really opened up my mind about what the Extravaganza had the potential to be.
The show features a mix of your signature style and holiday classics. How do you approach blending those two elements in a way that feels unique every year? I have a natural affinity for art that mixes highbrow and lowbrow sensibilities, so the show has real uptown/downtown vibe. There can be an absolutely filthy exchange between the Krampus (Lilly Tobin) and Cyril Von Miserthorpe (our villain, played by Will Roland) one minute, and then a full-blown google-eyed production number that wouldn’t be out of place in a theme park production of 42nd Street the next. I like the tension of smutty material that feels wholesome and vice versa. The Christmas show is also a really nice opportunity for me to write material that is in conversation with present-day America. I wouldn’t go so far as to call the Extravaganza political theater, but I think it has more to say than you might expect. As previously mentioned, I’m a massive Charles Busch fan and the sensibility of the show is partially inspired by Vampire Lesbians of Sodom or Psycho Beach Party. My biggest thing is that the show isn’t cynical and it’s never ironic. We’re never winking at the audience. Everything comes from a genuine love of the characters, holiday traditions, and of scrappy, DIY theater. I’d like to think that the Extravaganza is the best “show you put on in your backyard with your friends” of all time.

You work with a close-knit group of performers regularly. How does that camaraderie shape the vibe of the Extravaganza each year and the characters they all rotate in playing? We’re like a big rep company. Some people swap roles from year to year based on availability. Some people swap roles for the hell of it. With each edition it becomes harder and harder to come up with new characters and material. At a certain point I always think to myself, “Have I said everything I have to say about Christmas? Am I tapped out?” And then I am, inevitably, inspired by my brilliant family of collaborators. The performers, for sure, but also the creative team, led by director John Simpkins and producer Jennifer Tepper. The work they do on this show is incomprehensible. People don’t realize how gut-wrenchingly hard it is to make these shows, from the planning to the rehearsing to the performing. You have to be deeply insane to keep doing it because it gets more and more impossible every year. But there’s just something in me that can’t stop. All I ever wanna do is make art that I believe in with people I love. The Christmas Extravaganza provides me the most batshit opportunity to do just that. How could I say no to that? What can audiences expect from this year’s show at 54 Below, and are there any surprises or special guests we should be excited about? I can’t give away any secrets but I will say that we have a brand-new opening this year that I’m excited about. It’s our first new opener since 2009. As per usual, I’ve written a few lines that may get me sued, so people can be excited to either be scandalized or delighted by those. In general, the show is definitely the most “anything can happen” performance that I do all year. Because the show involves so many people (between onstage and backstage, I think we’ve got 60+ people working on the show?) the show is rehearsed piecemeal in incredibly well-planned chunks. I would not wish the scheduling of Christmas Extravaganza rehearsals on my worst enemy. This is all just to say that because of the nature of this beast is rehearsed, the only time we are ever able to run it with the full cast is during the performance. There are always surprises and, often, they are surprises that people talk about for years to come.
