Costume related questions with Scott Folan

Daniel: Do you know why they changed Jeremy's shirt in the London productions?

Scott: The change was sort of a collaboration between me and the costume design. I wore the original shirt in the dress rehearsal and there are some photos of me in Will Roland's shirt, but I think we just wanted to put our own spin on it because there's very little change, especially in costumes from Broadway to London. And I think it was just there were certain iconic costumes that can't change and there are certain iconic costumes, like Jeremy's t-shirt, that can change. We felt like that one could change. And obviously I didn't design the t-shirt but I was onboard with that decision and that was what I mean by "collaboration," I didn't come up with the design.

Daniel: Was it hot having to wear the long sleeves under the sweater?

Scott: It was so hot. I mean I loved it, again this wasn't decisions I made but things I loved about it were I got to do the thing I do in real life which is sort of *attempts to show "sweater paws" with a short-sleeved shirt* it's a thing I did as a kid. I think things like that would just come out subconsciously, if you put me in a long-sleeved t-shirt I just do it. But then the answer to the last question was: god it was BOILING. Just boiling.

Daniel: Going off of that, you mentioned Will Roland's shirt, did you wear costumes that had previously been worn by other cast members and do you know who wore what?

Scott: Yeah :) The answer is yes because they were labeled. Like there were obviously some things that didn't fit and some things that did and it was funny to see what did and funny to see what didn't. Shoes were specially ordered just cause people have different sized feet and also sort of germs stuff. Like you can wear the same sort of hat if it's been washed a thousand times, but feet, they get very sweaty. It's sort of like wearing the same pair of pants, you know what I mean? You just wouldn't do it. Yeah I think it was mostly to do with having different sized feet but if they'd presented me with Will's shoes I might have been like "can we get another pair?"

I’m interviewing Scott Folan this Sunday about playing Jeremy Heere in the London version of Be More Chill! Anyone have any questions you’d like me to ask him?

[thesquirrelqueer]

the interview with scott folan went really well! we actually ended up going over the allotted zoom session time TWICE because he just had so much to say about the show. i’m gonna wait a bit and go back through the recording to get the full answers to a lot of the questions (and they’ll probably each end up being their own posts) then i’ll also edit together shorter clips for tiktok or use clips from the interview in future bmc lore videos. but super fun! scott is a sweetheart and he said he’d love to do another interview about bmc some time in the future

[thesquirrelqueer]

hey! i feel like youre the best person to ask lmao

ive looked around some but didnt get that far. do you know anywhere to watch bmc west end? and if theres any script differences between off and on west end, where to find off as well

I know there’s at least one london bootleg in the bmc archive and i’m pretty sure it’s from the west end version. there’s also one from off west end on youtube if anyone else is able to find more feel free to add them

as for script differences, there was such a short rehearsal period and no previews for the west end production so there are absolutely zero script changes between off and on west end. for more info on that you can check out this clip from the interview I did with scott folan.

Ooo!! It would be interesting to know how he views his role! Like what he thinks about Jeremy as a character he plays etc, sorry if the wording is weird
