    Ghost Quartet is one of those musicals where you can listen to the soundtrack, watch the show, read the synopsis on Wikipedia, and analyze it to death and still not understand what the heck is happening.

    A partial list of things from this phenomenal production that had me S H O O K:
    1. Seeing the original cast in the audience.
    2. Rose and Pearl doing the synth solo from "Any Kind of Dead Person" VOCALLY.
    3. Basically everything about this version of "Any Kind of Dead Person" tbh.
    4. Switching around aspects of both Brent and Dave's characters and both actors doing it amazingly.
    5. THE BEATBOXING
    6. The audience members lowkey killing it during the dance section of "Four Friends."
    7. The furious violin playing during Rose's breakdown.
    8. Rose breaking down in tears instead of belting the money note in "Hero."
    And, of course
    9. The original cast ending "The Wind & Rain."

    Did the rest of the audience not know that was the actual original cast of GQ sitting in the audience? Is that why they laughed when Caleb handed off his cello, did they not expect Brent to be able to play it? Or was it just that he was handing off such a big instrument?

    As amazing as this show is...it was ten times better in person (I'm the tall very awkward lady pulled up to dance during Four Friends-best kind of audience participation)

      yes! and that's Brittain sitting next to him, and Brent and Gelsey sitting across from them

    I love how at the end of Wind and Rain everyone including the triangle player naturally looks to Dave to determine when to stop playing.

  • @QuikVidGuy
    @QuikVidGuy Před 4 lety +11

    I'm freaking out more than Dave at that de-synthesized solo
    However switching some of the [DAVE] and [BRENT] parts, while I totally understand practically, makes this already impossible show even more confusing
    So A+

    or is that gels on the other side next to Brent

    I saw this live and was charmed. A surreal version of SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY in a way. But needs more connective tissue, as confusion can create boredom.

      Rose Red and the Soldier were actual lovers, but only until Rose Red shoots her for her pot of honey. It wasn't Rose and the soldier who had kids, it was Rose and the Driver (?) who had kids, not the Soldier.
