Carry On - The Musical

@carry-on-the-musical

**currently on hiatus, everyone is very busy rn, sorry guys** Exactly what it says. This is a fan-created idea for a musical based on Rainbow Rowell's book, Carry On. You can contact this blog at any time if you want to ask a question or offer your help in any way!

Hi there! I'd love to join in and do some writing, but I don't think I'd be comfortable with video / voice calling. Does most conversation over chat?

yep pretty much everything happens over chat, any voice calls are usually just to have a ~friendship chat~

Hey guys, I need your help! I’ve just started working on a new project, which is great fun, but part of this project requires poetry, and I don’t want it to just be mine. I can’t explicitly tell you what the project is right now, however if you’re interested in having one (or more) of your poems featured, or writing one specifically for the project, you can message me and I’ll give you more information. Guidelines: ~ it should take about four minutes to read in full, however I’ll consider anywhere between 2-6 minutes ~ it can be on absolutely any topic at all, however try to keep it clean (swearing to a minimum, nothing explicitly sexy etc)

And yeah that’s basically it! All credit will go to the writer of the poem, under either your name or a pen name, and if you want people to find your blog I can provide a means for that as well. Please share this post around and dm me for more information :)

Oh also, I know I said the poems can be about anything, and that absolutely stands! Just pointing out that they can be ridiculous or serious or something in between, whatever you want them to be. So far I have two people interested, plus one poem I’ve written myself, but I need a minimum of ten more (hopefully, if the project works, I’ll need 23 more but for now, it’s ten) Thanks to anyone who’s reblogged this, it really helps me out ❤️

ATTENTION ALL CARRY ON FANS

This is an idea that has come to me over the last few days, and I think it would really work. We have some extremely talented people in this fandom who have pulled off some amazing things (the Fanzine, Valentine’s and Christmas, The Leavers Ball (coming up), SnowflakeFaces, all the other things I can’t think of right now). I believe we could pull off one more great trick.

In the last few days I’ve seen a lot of calls for a Carry On Musical. And while this seems like a massive, impossible task from across our phone and computer screens, I think we can pull it off. That’s right. A fully fan-crated Carry On musical. Think about it - a song for everything. Leaving the Orphanage. Simon’s list of things he misses. PENNY. BRILLIANT SONGS WONDERING WHERE BAZ IS. BAZ ARRIVING AT WATFORD. Rosebud Boy. Sour Cherry Scones. LADYBIRD LADYBIRD. Chapter 61!! (A song (or songs) titled either Chapter 61 or And Then He Kisses Me.) Fighting the Humdrum. Simon Says. jEANS.

THERE IS SO MUCH POTENTIAL WITH THIS IDEA.

My plan - it obviously wouldn’t be a stage show, but a movie. We could make it as big as we wanted to. All the little details.

We would need actors, and sets, and CGI. But most of all we would need scripts. That’s where we all can help out.

Like with the Fanzine, everybody could contribute something. Write a song, write some music. Help with casting - refer and request actors. Help with CGI and design of sets and characters and everything.

I know this would be a massive, probably expensive job. It seems unrealistic. I know you all probably think I’m hugely ambitious for trying to do something like this, but I know that we could do it. We are strong, there are so many of us. We are so diverse, I know there are people who could help with this.

Please guys. Please consider this. Please consider helping in whatever way you can.

I need a show of hands who would be interested in seeing something like this, even if you can’t help. If I get enough, I’ll create a blog for this, and a GoFundMe page.

This could be incredible. Please share it around. Please help.

Edit: here is a blog dedicated to running the project: @carry-on-the-musical

Hello! I’m going to help! This has been my dream to write my own musical!

Thank-you so much!!

I can help with writing songs, and what about looking into google docs or something similar for script writing?

I am so up for this

~ Day 9 - Music ~

Plotting (Baz’s Theme)

So I tried to come up with a little theme with baz in mind and this is what happened… It’s more for the humorous side Baz and these are some of the times I had in mind when I thought about the song….

• When Baz stormed through those doors like the badass mother fudger he is (and the bass line would sorta be in sync with his footsteps as he strolled up to the doors and then the doors fling open once the main theme starts)

• Whenever Baz smirks and starts teasing Simon

• When Baz practically dies inside after seeing Simon on his rug (and simons like omg you’re wearing jeans)

• Whenever he yells at his sister for not knocking

• THAT TIME WHEN HIS DAD WAS LIKE “U plotting mate” AND WINKED AND BAZ IS LIKE FFS

• Also it kinda makes me think of Simon crawling through bushes and sneaking after Baz like ‘Penny, he’s plotting something. PLOTTING.’ Basically whenever Simon’s like ‘He’s plotting.’.

Hence, I named Baz’s Theme ‘Plotting’. (It’s legit stuck in my head now for Crowley’s sake)

There’s probs a few more scenes it’d fit but those were the top ones on my mind - HOPE YOU ENJOY!!!

@carryon_countdown

OH MY GOD IVE DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN

@pitch-bitch-snow-hoe @carry-on-the-musical I will tag you 610000000 times, have you heard how good this is?

I don't think? I've seen this before??? It's freaking amazing?? Oh my god how have I not seen this before

Avatar

If there’s ever a musical of Carry On, there needs to be a musical number that’s just Baz playing his violin and singing an operatic love song entitled ‘sock feet’ while Simon plays power chords on an electric guitar and screams ‘JEANS. JEANS. JEANS.’ really loudly in the background.

@carry-on-the-musical could you guys make this happen?

Oh yeah it's already happening my dude

Oh don't worry, that's fine!

Hi ! Is the project still on ? Because I would like to be a part of it (Only if it's okay) but I don't even know if I can help. I mean, I can but I'm in Belgium, no one's in Belgium.

It's still going! And it doesn't matter where you are. I'm in Australia, most people are in America, we've got some Brits, a Mexican, a new zealander, just to name a few! Just add MakeMeASidekick on Skype and we can get to work :)

A Very Simon Musical

Baz: Do you know who I think is the ugliest person in school? That Simon Snow.
Baz: You know what I'd give him on a scale of one to ten, with one as the ugliest and ten as the hottest?
Baz: I'd give him an 8... an 8.5... or a 9... but not, NOT over a 9.8. Because there is always room for improvement.
Baz: Not everyone is perfect, like me. That's why I'm holding out for a 10. Because I'm worth it.
Dev: Wtf Baz
