Cast: @broadway-sollux @broadway-karkat @broadway-nepeta @broadway-june @broadway-rose @broadway-jade @broadway-caliborn @broadway-calliope

[Sollux]

I don't know what I was thinking

Leaving my child behind

Now I suffer the curse and now I am blind

[Karkat]

With all this anger, guilt and sadness

Coming to haunt me forever

I can't wait for the cliff at the end of the river

[Nepeta]

Is this revenge I am seeking?

Or seeking someone to avenge me?

Stuck in my own paradox, I wanna set myself free

[June]

Maybe I should chase and find

Before they'll try to stop it

It won't be long before I'll become a puppet

[Sollux, Karkat, Nepeta, June]

It's been so long

Since I last have seen my son lost to this monster

To the man behind the slaughter

Since you've been gone

I've been singing this stupid song so I could ponder

The sanity of your mother

[instrumental]

[Rose]

I wish I lived in the present

With the gift of my past mistakes

But the future keeps luring in like a pack of snakes

[Jade]

Your sweet little eyes, your little smile is all I remember

Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper

[Caliborn]

Justification is killing me

But killing isn't justified

[Calliope]

What happened to my son? I'm terrified

[Caliborn]

It lingers in my mind

And the thought keeps on getting bigger

[Calliope]

I'm sorry my sweet baby, I wish I've been there

[Rose, Jade, Caliborn, Calliope]

It's been so long

Since I last have seen my son lost to this monster

To the man behind the slaughter

Since you've been gone

I've been singing this stupid song so I could ponder

The sanity of your mother

a personnel pick today! (next song will be a reqUest I been saving thoUgh ^u^ )

please enjoy!

lyrics Underneath!

Sixteen is square And seventeen's prime Fifteen is odd And suddenly I'm all undone X minus one

I thought I'd be great Outside the walls But then we went out And I heard how they all said "Not her" They were so sure

In only an instant It all comes down crashing Parties and princes And comets are passing Everyone's dancing How do they know what to do? What to do?

Save a dance for me It all passed me by I'm the last to see And now I see why And I know I'm falling behind But if there's a chance Save a dance

Followed the rules Passed every test Read every book But never a lesson like this That one, I missed Oh

I want all the moments To more than pass by Capture the speed Of the stars in the sky As they fall I want it all

Swim through the river Feel the resistance Run for forever And measure the distance Outside the castle I don't even know if it's real If it's real

Save a dance for me If anyone's there Take my hand And lead me far off somewhere And I know I can take it from there Beyond the first glance Save a dance

Saw past the wall Thought there'd be more But all that I saw was another locked door And the girl inside Hasn't learned to hide

Save a dance for her She isn't enough But she plans to learn A way to catch up Oh, the wall stands And the door remains shut But if there's a chance Save a dance

If the story I know is more than made up And if there's a chance Please save a dance Save a dance

A dance at the ball So much to wish I wish for it all...

[broadway-calliope]

so! here's where i make a really funny joke and everyone laughs: ha ha ha that was great! but seriously, this was a great project that a lot of us worked on! i bet you're wondering, gee who worked on it? well i'm glad you ask really easy rhetorical questions that i have the answer to!

Cast: @broadway-june @broadway-equius Choir: @broadway-calliope @broadwayy-kanaya @broadway-john @broadway-sollux (as mituna) @broadway-terezi Art, editing, lyrics: @broadway-equius song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VynZTYtvWFA i'd say equius put blood, sweat, and tears into this, buuuuuuuut i'm pretty sure it was mostly sweat, heh. i'm also like, 99.99% sure this wouldn't have been possible at all without their work! (see the art, editing, lyrics, and singing credit above for evidence, yeah i cite my sources, hehe) without further ado though, please enjoy and on behalf of all of us that worked on this project, thanks for listening! p.s, the lyrics are hiding below!

Ahh, ah ah ah Ahh, ah ah ah Do you think if we try We'll make it out alive More than survive Meaning to life Please take a breath Avoiding death I don’t make promises I know I’ll break Ahh, ah ah ah The future seems so bleak now We need to make it out somehow Would you stay with me even if We don’t know what’s to come As a young lass I always felt destined for lesser things than saving the friends I adore Oh no, here it comes, can’t afford to fail We will prevail! Do the windy thing, Do the windy thing, Dance for me, play the game Do the windy thing, Do the windy thing, Dance for me, it's all the same Heed the mind’s eye and go back where it all went wrong Fix our mistakes, make it better, one more chance! Nev-er stop play-ing (Ahh, ah ah ah) Nev-er stop sing-ing (Ahh, ah ah ah) Now the time has came, to see if we have what it takes to really win Though I’ve tried I know I can’t do this alone, again Do not make the same mistakes as I You'll never come back from certain death You'll lose everyone you’ve ever loved You’ve only forsaken yourself No, don’t go alone No, don’t go alone No, don’t go alone You won’t make it out, No, don’t go alone No, don’t go alone No, don’t go alone You won’t make it out alive

The time has come to step up, I’m really a god Never give up, rise to the occasion, feeling light as air It matters more the ever to make the score I’m more than a breeze, I'm the air in your lungs A reckoning that you’ve earned so you can Take your last Breath Ahh, ah ah ah Ahh, ah ah ah Ahh, ah ah ah Ahh, ah ah ah Now I know that I don’t have To face this all alone, I have you close Now I know that I don’t have To play or sing or dance anymore Ahh, ah ah ah

[spoken]

this goes oUt to all the lovely dears oUt there.

[sung]

You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me When the road looks rough ahead And you're miles and miles From your nice warm bed You just remember what your old pal said Dear, you've got a friend in me Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me You got troubles, I've got 'em too There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you We stick together and see it through 'Cause you've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be A little bit smarter than I am Bigger and stronger too Maybe But none of them will ever love you The way I do It's me and you, Dear

And as the years go by Our friendship will never die You're gonna see it's our destiny You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me

[spoken]

i'll always be here for yoU, ta-ta!

CHARACTERS

We are currently hosting auditions for the position of Dirk Strider

Please remember that we prefer you to sing your auditions acapella (meaning NO instrumental) so that we can really hear the sound of your voice!

Auditions should be one song.

The recorded mp3 file can be sent to astrayan0@gmail.com.

After hearing that song, we’ll send back a selection of callback songs for the character and discuss it between The Council, and let you know our decision! You may also Live-Audition on Discord with the main mod (discord handle is astrayan).

STAFF

With how fast we’ve been growing we’ve found ourselves in need of some extra help! We recently put out a call for two Artists- and we gained two incredible Broadwaystuck members!

Now we are calling for Four [4] Artists to join the team!

Send in your three favourite homestuck art pieces to the e-mail astrayan0@gmail.com. The Council will check out your art and either accept you on spot or ask for a callback in the form of a quick, sketch-like mock track album art.

sorry for the delay lovelies! hope yoU enjoy this song! ^u^ lyrics are Underneath as always.

[Spoken]

Hello, I am Calliope and welcome to my panel on "How to write stories" and let me tell you

[Sung]

I love writing fiction

Because it's the best!

Because it is fun

I love writing fiction

And I get depressed as soon as it's done

But not depressed as in I'm lonely depressed

No, I don't suffer alone

Dear, I swear, I love this home

See, I just use the word to emphasize a point

Show the passion that I've got I am passionate a lot

I have mad, gigantic feelings

Red and paleish feelings

About most everything

Like shipping friends, heartstrings

Like if my writing turns double O C

Maybe throw in a rarepair OT3

[Spoken]

There's just so many good rarepairs! Did i mention i really like callioperoxyjune? Heheh

[Sung]

I love writing fiction

Cause you can explore worlds through the text

Life is free in writing

You follow a script so you know what comes next

Anywho the point that I'm getting to is sometimes life can't

Work out in the way

It works out in a play

Like the only time I get to be the center of attention Is when I'm Juliet Or Blanche DuBois

[Spoken]

And can I mention?

That was really one of my better AU’s Have you read it?

Oh! Perhaps you would even be interested in seeing a modernized AU of The Phantom. But anyway!

[Sung]

And no matter how hard I try It's impossible to narrow down the many reasons why-y-y

I love writing fiction

I happiness cry whenever it starts!

It's just so universal

Getting to try playing so many parts

Most humans do one thing for all of their lives

The thought of that gives me hives!

I've got so many interests I wanna pursue

And why am I telling this to you?

Guess there's a part of me that wants to

There's also a part of me that really really wants talk for hours and hours and hours about all my AUs!

We'll get there!

Back to writing fiction

My brain is like "bzz"

My heart is like "woah!"

Because we're here to write a fiction

And it's starting

We're starting

We're starting

Now

Ooh

[Spoken]

Alright, time to pick up those pencils everyone!

[broadway-calliope]

Hey Cali can you sing Smile from MLP FIM?

i absolUtely adored this reqUest anon!

it's posted and i hope yoU enjoy ^u^

[broadway-calliope]

a cover for anon today! 'u'

the song is from one of my favoUrite shows, my little pony: friendship is magic! titled "smile"

[broadway-calliope]

Your voice is so sweet sounding! You already got a fan in me!!!

well aren't yoU a lovely sweet yoUrself! 'u'

thank yoU anon, i hope to do some more soon, and that yoU'll continUe to get sUch enjoyment!

[broadway-calliope]

i am qUite enthUsiastic to share my first song written for me

lyrics by tragicthrenody below! ^u^

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million Fanfictions

Littered my room as I fell asleep

'Cause my readers everywhere

They leave teardrops here and there

You'd think me rude

But I would just stand and stare 

I'd like to make myself believe

That our sessions go slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake then go to sleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand thoughts

From ten thousand shipping arts

As they tried to teach me how to write

Diamonds above my head

Some Bright Hearts burning red

And the Spades are just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe

That our sessions go slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake then go to sleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

Leave my chains open just a crack

'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

Why do I tire of counting sheep?

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To all these dear friends of mine

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as I said farewell

But I'll know where they all are

If my dreams get real bizarre

'Cause I saved a few

And I won’t be really far

I'd like to make myself believe

That our sessions go slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake then go to sleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

I'd like to make myself believe 

That our sessions go slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when then go to sleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

I'd like to make myself believe

That our sessions go slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake then go to sleep

Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

transcript below! ouo

UU: the spot light flashes on center stage; the cUrtains rise as we focUs oUr attention on heroes of this story!

<enter, four puppets of a few familiar humans>

UU: can foUr brave and noble hUmans become strong enoUgh to defeat Ultimate evil? will they be able to overcome their personal flaws and set aside their infighting for the greater good of all in paradox space?!?!

<in excitement, Calliope falls over the railing, collapsing on top of the simulacrums of their friends>

UU: oh no oh no oh no! i broke them!! unu

<Calliope picks up the bits of the puppets and stares at the spotlight>

UU: sincerest apologies! Umm, the entertainment tonight is, disposed at the moment. yoU’ll have to come back later i’m afraid!

<the light continues to shine>

UU: yoU still want a show? oh, well, I’m not really a performer-

<Calliope reaches off stage and grabs a mic>

UU: but maybe i can sing for yoU! at least Until I get this mess cleaned Up!
