We Got the Beat

hey fellas, this is what I’ve been working on for the past week or so! quite happy I managed to get it done in time for taylor’s birthday 😳😳

I saw this the other night and had a great time. It was weird seeing it that soon after Broadway closing, so getting used to small regional production values was my first obstacle, but I got over it. 

This production leaned into the ‘80s-ness of it all, with the ensemble in semi-workout clothes and Philoclea in legwarmers. Inexplicably, Dametus and Mopsa seemed to be styled like Boy George and Cyndi Lauper, though there didn’t appear to be any other similar tributes throughout. And as the family migrated from Arcadia, projected backgrounds showed the Golden Gate Bridge, rolling hills like in the East Bay, Muir Woods, and a jungle. Mopsa’s vacation was in Palm Springs and the ensemble had golf clubs.

That sounds insanely fun! I would say uptempo 80s is the way to go. A Go-Go’s song not featured in the show would be a safe bet (or barring that another group of similar time period and style like The Bangles or Blondie. Something else in the pop-y indie rock sort of sound.)Pop/Rock songs I’d recommend looking at (Also the great thing about pop music is you can transpose it however much you need an no one will care–at least that’s what I have been taught/have seen): Hero Takes a Fall by the Bangles or Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mommas out there. I wanted to paint a really special HOH piece for today, hope you all enjoy!
