#moby dick: a musical reckoning

[unethicallypleistocene]

listened to "the pacific" sung by the musical cast for the first time and I think I have been Changed

#I know that the musical has a boatload of problems #if they could fix those in a revival and release a cast album... #agh it had so much potential #and this song is so gorgeous #moby dick #moby dick musical #moby dick: a musical reckoning

MALLOY CHARACTER DEATH BATTLE BEGINS!

We are currently in the preliminary rounds! Characters with only one submission are going head-to-head to whittle down the contestants before the proper battle begins.

Rules:

All characters must be from a musical associated with Dave Malloy

Matchups are decided based on number of submissions & a random number generator

Play nice! No harassment/bullying/etc

Please read the propaganda when voting, it's no fun if people only vote characters they've heard of :(

Think of each fight as a one-on-one duel, any skills and weapons are fair game, but no calling for backup!

Ties will result in the formation of teams

You may send extra propaganda in asks while a poll is still running

Preliminary Bracket:

We are going to be posting each round of the preliminaries a day at a time (so, four polls a day), as soon as they're up we'll link them all here! If you asked to be tagged, we'll tag people as soon as all the preliminaries are up.

Round 1:

Mo Vs Starbuck

Wolf Vs Anatole

Harper Perkins Vs Hrothgar

Prince Bolkonsky Vs The Dragon

Round 2:

Jesus Vs Denisov

Moby Dick Vs Starchild

Soldier Vs Judas

Sonya Rostova Vs Pearl White

Round 3:

Balaga Vs Demon Voice

Jessica Vs Andrey

Marya D Vs Sarah

actually thinking abt love in dave malloy’s work in general. like. love is everything physical that you feel and that you see and you have to believe in it or or doesn’t mean anything and it’s cosmic and it’s comets and looking through your telescope together and it’s making art together and when your hands touch over the piano and does he love you does he love me you’ve read his letters and it can be secret but it can also be in the tiny normal gestures that mean something different because you’re in love and the internet can make it just as much as it can break it and it’s being annoyed by each other but it doesn’t matter because you’re together and your lives are each other’s and i could be so good at love i could be so good at love i could be so good at love i could be so good at love

#is this coherent i wrote it while at various red lights #anyway i treat dave the way normal people look at philosophers i want him to explain all the secrets of the universe to me #okay what did i reference here #ghost quartet #preludes #the great comet #moby dick a musical reckoning #octet #dave malloy #slay

as a huge fan of nautical stuff and theatre we should agree to make more productions that take place on boats. because the possibilities are ENDLESS. above are images from Swept Away: A New Musical composed by the Avett Brothers and set designed by Rachel Hauck. apparently the entire ship ROCKS, at least from what I could tell from the clips available. actually breathtaking. more examples under the cut!

Moby Dick: A Musical Reckoning (set designed by Mimi Len)

Moby Dick, the LA Opera (set designed by Robert Brill)

#if u guys have any more examples PLEAAASE SEND #i would be so happy to see #the silhouette of the rigging in the opera makes me want to shed tears of joy #like actually i am so serious #and the way the lighting elevates each of these #falls to my knees #theatre #set design #swept away #moby dick #moby dick a musical reckoning #moby dick opera #echo chamber #nautical

[karhunkalloot]

havent posted in a while so i thought i might as well post this wip of a storyboard/animatic, as well as some ishmael design explorations.

i’ve been reading moby dick recently and i fell in love with the overall story, with all its flaws. it can be beautiful at some points but also pretty outright offensive (i guess this is expected from a story published in the 1800s)

anyway. the animatic will go along to the song “loomings” from an audio bootleg of moby dick: a musical reckoning back in 2019. (the sound quality is barebale, i can promise you that.) the song is based on first chapter of the book and the climax of the song is so fucking beautiful!!! hopefully i finish this soon so i can share the song and my love for this story.
