This is the first part of a week-long series of videos celebrating Stephen Sondheim’s 90th birthday. #SilvanaSondheimWeek Each day I will be posting a Starkid dreamcast of a different Sondheim show. Today’s pick is A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
How I chose the cast: For this video and the rest of the series I chose the cast based on who I generally think would be best for each role. I didn't stick strictly to the vocal range of the characters because that would seriously limit the options, especially with some of Sondheim's characters. While I did try to pick people with a similar voice part of each character, the more important factor was if I thought they could portray the character well through acting and if they fit the type for each character physically and vocally.
Some clips featured in this video:

Another one to bear the social distancing we gotsta do #SilvanaSondheimWeek
Lol can I add this hashtag to the video descriptions? It's amazing.
@@SilvanaLTD Dude it would be an HONOR
Forum! Heck yeah!
I actually have no idea what this musical is. Am I going to watch this video anyways? Yep
Lol
This is probably the greatest crossover I could ever imagine. I AM IN LOVE.
Haha thanks
i hope you do a little night music, i love that show!
Sorry. Not on the docket for this week. :( It is a great show though!
I ADORE FORUM!!!!! despite all its misogyny ... but it’s just so fun to listen to. Pretty Little Picture and That’ll Show Him are my favorites. love this casting, great choices!! (Kim in particular 👌 I even thought of Philia while watching her in Black Friday)
It is a little outdated lol. Pretty Little Picture is my favorite song from it, but so many productions cut it out! (also may or may not have found out that Kim actually played Philia before by stalking her instagram)
Silvana Ltd. omg... what an icon. I will have to do the same now
I 100% agree. Yes yes yes yes
unrelated but....QUEEN MARY TESTA
I would've given Pseudolus to Dylan Saunders, but I agree with everything else. This is great. (I also respect your decision, don't get me wrong)
No I can totally see that! A lot of these roles I considered multiple people for.
@@SilvanaLTD Yee. I could also see Jaime doing the role you put Kim in
This is not my idea but I saw someone Else say this and I thought it was a good idea. You should rank the musicals on how serious the serious parts are.
That's a very unique idea! If you remember where you saw the original idea lmk :)
@@SilvanaLTD I tried to find it but I didn't. Sorry!
@@amandabilstad3267 no worries!
Wait, is that Jon English? Aw, I miss him.
It is! It's from a production of forum that toured Australia and New Zealand.
@@SilvanaLTD First theatre show I ever saw was a production of 'Pirates of Penzance' where he played the Pirate King (and basically stole the show). Such a funny guy. I'm really enjoying the dreamcasts so far!
