what would they add/remove, what scenes would they move around, what moments would be made into songs?
#[18/4/2024] How would Battle Tendency be adapted into a musical? What changes would they make?

"grrrr kars! you're giving me a real battle tendency!!"
(battle tendency starts playing uncomfortably loudly)
gray sundial
Joesephs "death" would probably be changed into a song
Fuck it, the entirety of the final fight probably would be a song
A really long, annoying, funny, annoying and long song
glacial nova
straizo was removed from the part 1 musical
how would part 2 start and work without straizo
indigo hull
how would part 2 start and work without straizo
glacial nova
he's so fr
mellow python
there would be a ten minute breakdance sequence when the piller men wake
fiery ember
When kars has the lights on him, he performs the final countdown before obliterating all the soldiers

@fiery ember, your Stand Rank is now 1!

caesars death would probably be less devastating and more goofy
like even MORE of "oh no! anyway.." kind of thing and then theyd move back into song like nothing happened
caesar would be singing about his past as he enters the fuckin house or whatever it was, gets kicked down or something to save time and dies
and then wakes up for a moment to do the whole ring and bubble and headband thing silently and then finally dies w the giant rock falling on him
lisa lisa and joseph coming in looking at each other and the rock several times before bursting into dramatic tears and immediately moving on as if they never started crying
quartz drum
All figth scenes would be a song

Kars VS Joseph Breakdance Battle

Poorly
oblique snow
It would be one of those musicals where it is basically just 2:00 of songs with 10 minutes of non songs sprinkled in the middle
worldly orbit
How would the musical handle the part when Joseph and Ceaser are arguing, maybe they would sing in that
Also remove the unecasary fights like wired for example
And donovan
cyan tinsel
they’d probably have to remove or shorten the scenes with the nazis

@cyan tinsel, your Stand Rank is now 5!

It would definitely have a lot of rapping, and the fights would be dances set to dramatic music
glacial nova
i got the whole thing cooked up in my head already
the play opens with old speedwagon, same as in the part 1 musical
they make their way to the aztec place where santana is kept, pretty similar to the anime so far
then footsteps start approaching them, sounding like an army of soldiers marching in unison
their footsteps pound against the ground in a steady rhythm
then the instruments kick in, with the marching footsteps acting as a beat to the song
the soldiers encircle speedwagon and his group while the beat grows louder and more intense
THEN STROHEIM COMES IN AND STARTS RAPPING, WITH EACH SPEEDWAGON SCIENTIST GETTING BLOWN BACK AND COLLAPSING OUT OF SHEER AWE
WHILE HE'S RAPPING ABOUT WHO HE IS AND WHY THEY'RE HERE FOR THE PILLAR
AND THEN SPEEDWAGON CLAPS BACK WITH HIS OWN RAP
THEN THE EPIC RAP BATTLE ENDS WITH STROHEIM WINNING SO HARD THAT SPEEDWAGON COLLAPSES AND LOSES CONSCIOUSNESS
that's how i'd get around straizo being missing in the part 1 musical
skip the straizo fight, joseph goes straight to the nazi base
joseph inherited the power of rap from his old man speedwagon, but he occasionally goes into song for more somber emotional moments, like his grandfather jonathan
santana is old-fashioned and primitive, so he sings in a very traditional and slow manner, but as the fight continues he slowly learns from his surroundings and his singing becomes more catchy and punchy
by the end of the fight, he has quickly learned the art of rap from listening to joseph and engages in the most fierce raw freestyle rap battle ever known to man
but joseph pulls his classic trick, he predicts the lines that santana was going to say before he even says it, which was impossible! they're supposed to be freestyling! this shows that joseph has clearly read santana like a book, and has won the rap battle! santana cannot cope with the utter defeat and turns to stone

Really hyped on answering this question as an ex theater kid
If we’re talking like a high school musical, mostly likely they’ll exclude the part where Kars gets sent to space like we see him in the anime.
Caesars Death will probably be made into some sort of comic relief or make it where they kill him off stage but that’s highly unlikely due to his death being a key part in Joseph defeating the Pillarmen.
Joseph in plane crashes will probably be mentioned as a line like “I remembered that time where I almost died twice”
peak hornet
i would like kars to breakdance
willow fable
SAME
willow fable
Really hyped on answering this question as an ex theater kid
If we’re talking ...
I want to also add that the first scene of the act will probably have SpeedWagon narrate while an Araki look alike will horribly explain what will happen in the musical and start to sing and then the curtain opens to the setting of New York
glacial nova
I want to also add that the first scene of the act will probably have SpeedWagon...
why not just have speedwagon explain
its what they did in the phantom blood musical lmao
willow fable
WAIT FR??
glacial nova
OH SHIT
willow fable
YEEEEAAAAH
glacial nova
YYEEEEAAAAA
i think for the official part 2 musical, they'd manage to do the kars in space scene
they managed to do dio falling off the joestar mansion and getting impaled on the statue
willow fable
Holy shi
glacial nova
and his laser beam eyes
willow fable
I kinda had it in mind as a high school production and you know how high school arts department is funded 
willow fable
Pretty much
glacial nova
we couldn't afford more than 2 pillar men guys
willow fable
LOL
glacial nova
our main villain will now be santana
willow fable
“This mf ain’t look like no damn villain”
glacial nova
we ran out of bubble juice for caesar's actor to blow...
willow fable
“Kick em out the studio”
glacial nova
i think they could pull off the pillar men's abilities
i mean for kars just use a shit ton of flashlights
willow fable
Yeah
glacial nova
for wammuu just pull out the biggest fking wind machine you have
and then strap two of them to his arms 
willow fable
Idk if any high school has the budget for the biggest wind machines to ever exist 
Maybe Texan schools
willow fable
Pull up with the weight lifting students
willow fable
oh god the chariot battle...
State crew can probably pull up with some cardboard ones
With some embellishments on em
willow fable
Broadway will deffo have it try to be as accurate as possible
With the spinning stages and experienced actors, it’ll probably be more cleaner and smooth
glacial nova
and they could do the crossbow ball ricocheting around the arena like how they did speedwagon's hat
i mean speedwagon's hat wasn't the most convincing looking stunt but it worked
glacial nova
and they could do the crossbow ball ricocheting around the arena like how they d...
im pretty sure they used 6 hats for this scene lol
speedwagon passed the one on his head to one of the background people, they just put 4 hats on sticks and lit them up in order, then passed one to jonathan so he could get hit by it
honestly im surprised they even bothered adding the hat scene
i think they could do the same thing for the ball moving around the arena to hit wammuu
lapis haven
It’d be battle tendency but as a musical and joseph would always have to wear the “tequila fit”
errant crypt
I feel like it would be more opera so scenes like the battle against wahmu and Kars and ceasars death could go hard ngl

They better make Killer Queen look like this if they do Part 4 musical

The musical better be as good as the anime's OST
Give lyrics to the OST

Give lyrics to the OST
They can make up their own
polar aspen
Stroheim would for sure get his own song, maybe a small one. There would be SO MUCH dance battle choreography. Caesar's death is made into a tragic opera scene.
obtuse scarab
Tragic Italian opera
