Rarity Paige Belle 1,855 February 19, 2014 Share February 19, 2014 Over the Christmas holiday I saw the show Wicked(which is absolutely amazing) and it got me thinking. Why couldn't there be a production about Celestia and Luna's rise to power? 1 Beautiful, Stylish, Fabulous AND evil! What more could you want? (Thanks Kyoshi for letting everyone use your sigs!)

wildpaw 45 February 19, 2014 Share February 19, 2014 Well it be a cool idea since Fim has a lot of songs. I agree, it would be amazing if they made a musical after they finish season 4. I would definitely listen to all the songs no matter how long it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaweed 596 February 19, 2014 Share February 19, 2014 I'm a sucker for a good musical (Wicked is kicks ass, btw), so a solid MLP stage production would be right up my alley. But. It would have to be done right. They have done an on stage MLP "thing" before and the results were...well...kinda nightmarish. And not the good, metal, kinda nightmarish... 3 MLPforums resident marksman. Mathlete/Badass MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
equerio 6,153 February 19, 2014 Share February 19, 2014 Well, I was thinking about the SAME thing yesterday! Really! Yes, it SHOULD be made into a musical. Since I've played in 2 musicals, I must say that all songs in the show are very musical-istic (I don't know if there is such a word ). My OCs: Joyfire (ask page), Miroslav (under construction).

IridscentNionios 1,422 February 19, 2014 Share February 19, 2014 Hasn't it already been made? Not on a musical but on a play featuring the Canterlot wedding? OCs Thorough list of all of them here.

And not the good, metal, kinda nightmarish... ^ This I do however think it could work if the actors maybe played the characters as humans like in Equastia Girls. It wouldn't be ponies which some may not like the sound of, but then humans are humans so it'd be easier and as long as the characters were still there and the writing and song's and so on were all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,692 February 19, 2014 Share February 19, 2014 I'm a sucker for musicals, and it probably wouldn't be a bad thing if it's done correctly. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonClaw 8,174 February 19, 2014 Share February 19, 2014 I don't think it would be a terribly good idea. They already tried a stage show with people in pony costumes and it was...something. If they couldn't use pony costumes they would have to use actual people, which would immediately have people relating it to Equestria Girls and ignoring it on that merit alone no matter the quality.

AAAAAAAAAAAAGHGHGHHGH O-O http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc9W2LrFPZM Okay- In order for a musical to be done- and for everyone to like it, it would have to relate in term to "the lion king" musical. They don't use wierd animal suits or anything like that- just masks and some paint. That with a moralistic plot- and a good storyline would make a good musical 3 May the force be with you, always Subscribe to my youtube channel, It'll give you a laugh, hell maybe two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clockwork24 103 February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 I think that a musical would be, well, what's the word... Interesting. Yeah, I would probably go watch it, but I don't know if I would enjoy it. (I'd like to thank Lunia for my signature and big_blue_ghost for my avatar!)

Subscriber Denim&Venöm 20,532 February 20, 2014 Subscriber Share February 20, 2014 (edited) G3 mlp was made into a musical, with mixed reviews. A musical production would be within the realm of possibility. Given the success of the show with kids and adults, whole families would go to see it, raking in a good turnout. Doubtful it could be done using fursuits or quad suits. Best to go with humanized ponies. Maybe even the shows songs performed live, possibly with Daniel Ingram at the helm? I know I would go.

DubWolf 18,835 February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 No. The show is good enough with having its solid story line go by, with an occasional song or two to accompany the episode (or more! But not all). Sig by Wolf, Handwriting by SparklingSwirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomDeSpite 452 February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 No. It shouldn't. What purpose would it serve? Why would it be necessary? What would Friendship Is Magic communicate as a theatrical production that it wouldn't be capable of communicating in just a regular episode? The idea seems excessive and self-indulgent. PASS.

UserNotFound 964 February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 First I didn't like the idea... But then I thought... You know... If don't right with some decent costumes and no creepy rainbow skin then it could look like MLP... I mean there are loads of really talented cosplayers out there who make themselves recognisable as the ponies without looking too much like the EG characters... So yeah... It could happen But I wouldn't go to see it... 1 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wefrferefrtg5tg 9 February 20, 2014 Share February 20, 2014 Like others have said ,if its done right.I mean ,look what happened to the Live MLP - not so good..*barfs*.And even if they tried by doing an EQ-ish sorta thing ,they'd prolly mess it up like the Cafeteria Song LA video.HOWEVER A normal MLP episode but made into a musical...that gets a yes from me. Thats just me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Silver Essence~ 2,625 February 21, 2014 Share February 21, 2014 Eh? While the series has been known to make some great music orchestrated by Daniel Ingram, a musical sounds like a whole new approach for the good or bad. In this case, eh, we'll see.
