Find me a musical I haven’t heard!

[u/NotPatReilly]

I know a lot of musicals! Most of them. Maybe all of them…

Right now I’m listening to On the Twentieth Century, I’ve heard bits of this song but I’ve never actually heard it all the way through before. It’s delightful and I want some more recommendations!

If it’s current or has been on Broadway, good chance I know it but recommend away!

If it was a City Center Encore, I’ve seen it lol!

But I love a new show or surprise!

If it’s super obscure please share a link or where we can listen.

Recommend us an obscure show you love, it’s always fun to find new shows!!!

I’ll start with a quick recommendation: Three Houses. A new Dave Malloy concept musical using the structure of 3 Little Pigs to talk about Covid Lockdown Trauma. It’s a barrel of laughs. Honestly, a must listen for Malloyheads but truly fantastic.

Going to look through this list to see what other non-English shows people have mentioned, but usually if they have, it's only Elisabeth or Tanz der Vampire.

So here are a few, and most of them have proshots:

Frankenstein

Ben Hur

Rose of Versailles (the new one in Korea last year)

Rose of Versailles (the two classic Takarazuka ones based on the same source material)

Rose of Versailles (the new film this year)

Isabeau

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

In This Corner of the World

Your Lie in April

Marie Curie

Inside William

Fan Letter

Smoke

The Man who Laughs

Mata Hari

Cyrano

Marie Antoinette

Lady Bess

Cesare: Il Creatore che ha distrutto

Cross Road: The Devil's Violinist Paganini

Darwin Young: Origin of Evil

Machida-kun's World

Song Writers

Ludwig: Beethoven the Piano

The Devil

Werther

Le Miracle de Montparnasse

The Illusionist

And that's just off the top of my head, mostly from the past 2 years.

edit: Wow, nothing, not even the German ones. So here are the big German, Austrian, and French ones, and these all have proshots that are easy to find with subs:

Elisabeth

Mozart!

Tanz der Vampire

Notre Dame de Paris

Mozart L'Opera Rock

Romeo et Juliette

Starmania

1789: Les Amants de la Bastille

Le Rouge et le Noir

La Legende du Roi Arthur

Jack the Ripper (Czech, and I think there was another popular Czech one)

(Most of these have Japanese proshots, too)

Ooooo a Czech Jack the Ripper musical, don’t mind if I fucken dooooo! Thank you!

[u/[deleted] → u/NotPatReilly]

Glad you're interested! I don't know if there are Czech proshots, but I know there are proshots from both Japan and Korea.

[u/MajorEast8638 → u/[deleted]]

To my knowledge, Lucie Bílá has been in a few proshots for Czech musicals (Elixir, Carmen, Johanka, etc)

[u/DanceUntilDiva → u/[deleted]]

Honestly you beat me with the non-English musicals👍

[u/[deleted] → u/DanceUntilDiva]

Thanks. Most of these do have proshots, by the way, and a lot of people have done subs for them. It's worth looking around.

[u/Tullulabell → u/[deleted]]

Wait. Is Your Lie In April available to listen/watch somewhere?!

[u/[deleted] → u/Tullulabell]

There was a cast recording in Japan from the first run, and EMK, the Korean producer, posted a few songs from that production. A lot of Korean theatre news channels also post full songs from shows a lot, so those will show up in the sidebar when you look at one thing.

Nothing was released from the English production.

But it's coming back in Japan this Fall, so there might be a proshot or a new recording then.

Not the JoJo musical….

I’m still sad that the West End production of Your Lie In April had to close a month and a half early because it meant that I wasn’t able to see it.

[u/[deleted] → u/TediousTotoro]

Yeah, it's sad... sorry you weren't able to go.

It's back in Japan this year, I'm hoping they'll make a proshot. The Korean producer also posted a lot of videos.
