Dream Animated Movie Musical Tournament Round 1 Match 14

two period pieces of two very ambitious kinda-chaotic male heroes, will HTSIBWRT’s Boomer-era business hijinks rise the ranks despite its datedness or will Something Rotten and its comedically-anachronistic English Renaissance be the bottom that’s gonna be on top

[villainoftheday]

Today’s villain is Bud Frump from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

Hmm probably:

1) Les Mis

2) Phantom of the Opera

3) How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying

4) The Sound of Music

5) Wicked

Ok but listen

I have no clue the exact plot of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying (outside listening to the musical on Spotify), but like. Imagine if Kara was an up and coming inventor who wants to break into the corporate world with no clue how, and Lena is just one of the business people in the company (like an upgrade from Rosemary).

Imagine 'Rosemary' between the two, or 'I Believe In You' with Kara talking to herself in the girls restroom and Lena's there, the two of them giving each other encouragement while the men talk about stopping them.

Honestly an AU where Lena is already the company that Kara's trying to break into without anyone knowing her past but she's got these bright ideas that no one's heard before, so she has to try to be a rebel but also not draw attention to herself AND be a woman in the corporate world. In the end, Lena and her fall in love because she has all these amazing ideas and Kara brings equality to the workplace and brings them all together.

When naming show files on a light board, one must always remember the character limit, especially for, "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying." According to the light board file, this musical is about succeeding in an activity very different from that of business. .... Or is it?

Dream Animated Movie Musical Tournament Tiebreaker Round Match #9

Starmites: sure this wouldn't be entirely animated (the very beginning and end (aka the parts on Earth) would be live-action) but if a show like this with basically the sci-fi equivalent of an Owl-House-esque plot got an animated movie in, say, a SPOP-esque style, it would not only teach a generation of little girls it's cool to be a weirdo/geek and like superheroes and a generation of little boys girls can be heroes but among a certain young-adult demographic on Tumblr known for loving things technically meant for kids it could become a bonafide cult phenomenon

How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying: this is a B-list enough old-school musical that without the star-power of the recent (but even that was a decade ago) revival having Daniel Radcliffe in the lead it might have gotten somewhat lost-to-time-in-the-shuffle and sure it may be somewhat a product of its time but animation could weirdly help a thing like that seem less dated

Fiddler On The Roof: it's been a while since even the most recent Broadway revival never mind the movie so it feels like this is due for another revisit especially given the timelessness of its themes (especially sadly given current sociopolitics) and just imagine what animation could add e.g. while still featuring the iconic dance imagine "If I Were A Rich Man" becoming a full-blown fantasy sequence similar to "Almost There" from The Princess And The Frog

Ragtime: this just seems like a story that's beautiful/powerful/"big" enough that only what animation could add could convey the proper scope without a ginormous budget and also the same effect I described making HTSIBWRT seem less dated above could have the opposite result and make certain audiences see it as less "woke" than it otherwise would be considered (though it'd still have those messages)

Top five stunt casts

ASK ME TOP 5 ANYTHING !

Allison Janney as Violet in 9 to 5. 

Jordin Sparks as Jenna in Waitress.

Jack McBrayer as Ogie in Waitress.

Jenna Ushkowitz as Dawn in Waitress.

Billie Joe Armstrong as St Jimmy in American Idiot.

Dunno if Billie Joe Armstrong counts tbh, as I said to myself I couldn’t say Sara in Waitress because it’s different ( although... let’s be real... that’s exactly what runs two, three, and West End were, and I don’t even care ) and it’s more or less the same thing. Ish. Kinda. Honorary mentions to Sabrina Carpenter as Cady in Mean Girls, Brendon Urie as Charlie in Kinky Boots, and Daniel Radcliffe as whathischops in HTSIBWRT.

EDIT: JAKE GYLLENHAAL IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SEYMOURS IN LITTLE SHOP HOW DID I FORGET HIM HE’S DEFINITELY IN MY TOP FIVE HE WAS GREAT.

[ohbeeones]

mac would be Obsessed with nick.

omg yes!

i think at first, it probably began on an incredibly superficial ~mmmm whatta beefcake 🤤~ level*, but then one day mac actually decided to listen to his music.. and eventually (once he read his wikipedia page), found out how nick started out in the music business as a ~uwu wholesome Christian boy~.. mac got a whole new, slightly (i say slightly bc it’s mac we’re talking about here) more nuanced appreciation for him as a person and legitimately became Obsessed with nick’s artistry. his looks just became a bonus™️.

i can also totally see mac driving everybody in the gang up a wall to go see nick’s stint in “how to succeed in business without really trying” ** on broadway and absolutely fanboying tf out the entire time once they finally went. (they totally took the range rover to nyc and made a weekend trip out of it, charlie also had to be blindfolded à la “gets lost in the woods” bc of his fear of leaving philadelphia. it was a Huge Ordeal & they got lost a ton).

*i think mac probably thought that he was Above everybody else and highkey didn’t like the jonas brothers when they were still apart of disney. he was one of those grown ass men who would leave stupid elitist youtube comments on the jb’s music videos that were along the lines of ~omg this teenybopper music sucks ass!! if you want REAL music, you kids need to listen to (insert rock musician here)~. however, one day randomly (probably some time around 2015), mac was scrolling thru the interwebs and must’ve saw some ridiculous buzzfeed post of an employee thirsting over nick’s instagram, and he immediately decided to stan based on that alone. which then circles back to the beginning of my post. lol

** HTSIBWRT also messes with my hc timeline, but the shenanigans of the gang going on another road trip are too good to pass up. plus! somewhat unrelatedly, the mental image of mac sitting around somewhere, like in paddy’s or the apartment (or even in the shower), trying to imitate nick’s falsetto is a great one. just imagine it.

also now that the jonas brothers have reunited: mac has matured (slightly), has repented in his former hater ways & started to follow the group. he still is, on principle, a major nick boy at heart though and will not hesitate to tell anybody who would listen.

I consider Teague to be a fascinating what-might-have-been. IMHO he steals all his scenes in HTSIBWRT. But he chose to work on stage rather than in Hollywood.

Anthony Scooter Teague as Bud Frump in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1967). Tony was born in Jacksboro, Texas, and had 11 acting credits, from a 1958 episode of The Danny Thomas Show, to The Barefoot Executive (1971). His other notable credits include West Side Story (as Big Deal) and The Trouble with Girls (with Elvis Presley). He died of cancer at the age of 49.
