I fucking love the score. That modulation from E to Db at 1:37 was so cool. How it uses the third of E to pivot to F minor then diatonically ascend to the dominant of Db so it can assert it as the new key... Or the transition into the bridge, with Dsus with G in the bass, how it ascends chromatically to G# when it turns into C+... So sweet.
This sounds way more like The Wizard and I than Defying Gravity, (wide-eyed, overly confident, etc.). Defying Gravity sounds like I Believe. Either way, I love them all.
@ellemadore I have some Mormon family members too,but my Uncle dragged them to see it when they were visiting him,and now they love it. I don't find it offencive at all. (Even though I'm not mormon lol)
I hate living in the middle of nowhere. I don't really like musicals, but there's been a few I've wanted to see, but the nearest place to see a show (and only a touring one, at that ) is 3 1/2 hours away. Really sucks. :P
Frick the phone bills. Frick the taxes. Frick the new textbooks for class this year. I'm saving up every penny I earn for one ticket to see this masterpiece.
@ChipmunkNationFan200 I have the bootleg video actually xD But it's sorta old it was recorded in March (not by me), some lyrics changed... but it's fine xDD So funny.
@crashbuist Really? Are there only certain places you can find it? Cause I've looked a bunch of places and can't seem to locate it........where did you find it?
Oh thank God I'm not the only one who hears "The Wizard and I" in this!
I love the musical references to other showtunes. The opening for "I Believe" parallels the beginning of "I Have Confidence" from The Sound Of Music (I believe that that is the title) and the music for parts of the chorus for "Latter Day Saints" or whatever the finale song is called reflects "You Can't Stop The Beat" à la Hairspray. Those are the main ones I've heard =)
Some people say Defying Gravity some which you really hear around 1:40 but A lot of it is the Wizard And I... It just depends.. the music is a weird blend of both but the opening sounds like raw wicked music.
@redsaabster The problem is that it's a pretty short song. I Believe is just under five minutes, while this is under three. I personally wish that they did "Hello" or "Two by Two." Of course, Hasa Diga Eebowai would've been the ultimate song to do, but there's the slight issue of translation.
I really support arts, and I love musicals and I am LDS, I really liked this songs. But, of course as funny as it is the show, MANY MANY things on stage of this show are NOT true. Our Missioneries, it's true, they are REALLY young, 18 years! But many of them REALLY belive in what they preach. If you want to know more and mores specific things abour our religion: mormon.org I am LDS, young woman and I belive! (:
Wow..... First off, what a sensational, moving, sick song. Just, wow. And secondly....Defying Gravity much? Lol. I wonder if he comes off the ground at all. This song is my new fave of this musical.
@CassaStarfire LOL! It all makes sense now! It wasn't her green skin that attracted discrimination. It's because she's a Mormon. Look at her clothing in the "The Wizard and I" sequence, it's rather Sunday-looking. And like a Mormon, she tries to do what's right but society prevents her from doing so.
@garethcumming Do you think it will come to the uk? I'm not sure it will..the humour might kidna go over British heads. Like jokes about Kolob etc....we don't really get morons in the UK. I'd personally love it to come but don't know how likely it is! Fingers crossed!
@borgqueen45 Actually they changed the lyrics...it said 'BP' is only for now. And it now says 'Jedward' are only for now! haha...It might come but sometimes us brits just have a differenct sence of humour. I'm one that'd love it, because i studied the faith ha. But if you didn't know anything about it ALOT of jokes would be missed!
