EdgedancerJacob he/him Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 (edited) For all my musical theater nerds out there... Let's have some fun! Imagine a world where a theater producer wants to bring Stormlight to the stage as a musical. What are some moments from the books that could make for good musical numbers? What would the vibe of the music be for those scenes? I personally imagine a Les Mis-style slave scene as an introduction to Bridge Four/the Vengeance Pact. I would also love a rock opera version of the events in Rathalas. Edited May 22 by EdgedancerJacob Added tags 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantus he/him Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Literally any scene from Singer POV, with consistent musical themes for each Rhythm. An opening number of The Assassination Night. Introductions of most major characters and the Parshendi, Szeth as a major movement, then probably flowing into a montage explanation of the Vengeance Pact as a transition while the setting is shifted to the Shattered Plains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stick Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 What do you think Kaladin would sing at Honor's chasm? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantus he/him Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 1 hour ago, The Stick said: What do you think Kaladin would sing at Honor's chasm? A ketek-esk song that starts with Death, Weakness, and Ending themes only to be turned back by Syl's entrance to become about Life, Strength and continued journeys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeomanoftheBowman he/him Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 A Les Mis “Confrontation” type duet would be a cool motif between Dalinar and Sadeas every time they argued about how to protect Elhokar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stormfather He/Him Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Eshonai could have a song when she comes out of the storm in stormform for the first time and the melody of the song plays each time the everstorm hits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aredor Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 (edited) Something like "Master of the House" from Les Mis but for Odium, Sadeas, or Amaram. "Honor is dead" "I'm Adolin Kholin and I'm in a Duel" "We chose!" A song for every important Oath that's said. Shallan's "oh no I killed my ____" "The King's Wit" All of Hoid's stories. "How bad can I possibly be" from the Lorax but for Amaram "The Assassin in White" "Oh storms... what have we done?" - the prelude "Unite them" And finally... "You. Cannot. Have. My. Pain!" Bonus track: Moash He doesn't deserve a punctuation mark. Edited May 23 by Aredor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus track: Moash He doesn't deserve a punctuation mark. "oh no I killed my ___" cracked me up in a dark way Oh and also! I'm trying to write a Taravangian villain song but it ain't happening, mostly because I have no way of writing music and I don't know any music theory. Also don't know what to do. Edited May 23 by S.

The Stick Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 I wrote an edited version of Javert's Suicide for Nale to sing during the Everstorm with Lift. Nale Song Stormlight Musical Who is this girl, what sort of monster am I? To have me caught in a trap and show me those I made die? It was her hour at last to put a seal on my fate Wipe up the past and send me back to that place All it took was a word from her, this awful lowlife Ishar was wrong and now I’ve ended life Damned if I'll live in the debt of a thief Damned if I'll yield at the end of the chase I AM THE LAW and the I am not mocked I'll spit her pity right back in her face There is nothing on earth that we share It is either this girl or Ishar How can I now allow this girl to hold dominion over me? This criminal child that I have hunted She broke all the law, she knows no Honor She should perish at my hand It is my Oath It was my right to die as well Instead I lived, but live in hell And my thoughts fly apart Can this girl be believed? Shall her crimes be forgiven? Shall her crimes be reprieved? And must I now begin to doubt What I never doubted all those years? My heart is stone but still it trembles The Honor I have known Is now dead in Roshar Is Ishar any longer sane And does he know That guarding the true law today? This man has fooled me, even so I am reaching but I fall And the law is black and cold As I stare into the Void Of a world that cannot hold I'll escape now from that world From the world of awful Braize There i s no where I can turn Honor is now GONE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
