#student run

I’ve already discussed these costumes in an earlier post but here they are again for anyone who missed them

ex wives:

not much of the song was changed which i did like. i’m not used to having so much dialogue and lyrics being changed but this was from 2017 so i understand. the only real lyric/sound changes that stood out the most were the little verses each queen sings about their life. the biggest changes i heard was aragon’s and boleyn’s. aragon’s had almost all of the lyrics changed and i really liked hers. i kinda like the old verse she said better. boleyn’s was more sped up with the tempo and beat which i loved as well. ex wives in general was just as good as it is today and i really like it!!!

no way:

so the student run’s version of no way is almost completely different then it is today. almost all of the lyrics (besides the ending parts) are changed but i’m not complaining because i LOVE IT!!! it sounds so good and i really liked the original lyrics, i don’t think they were all that accurate to aragon’s actual life but they sounded so good mixed in with the slower tempo/beat. i almost like the original no way better!!!

don’t lose ur head:

okay wow Wow WOW do i LOVE the original dlyh!!! so almost all of the lyrics are the same as today’s dlyh besides like a few but the way ashleigh weir sang boleyn just gave me the PERFECT idea of how i perceive boleyn!!! the vocals of the rest of the girls match perfectly with pitch and with the tone they’re trying to get across in the song and i just adore it. also the music backing tracks?? REALLY DIFFERENT BUT I LOVE IT!!! it sounds like at some parts there’s an electric guitar but i don’t think there is one (don’t quote me on that i don’t know my instruments) but like. the instruments. the background music. i wish they would’ve kept it. also ‘FAAAST FOOOWARDDD’ is my favorite part of the entire song i love it. dlyh was spectacular and i really love the part where anne goes ‘henry’s out every night on the town’ and the rest of that whole verse. i also really love the parts that (i’m sorry for saying this) were famous on tik tok cause when the rest of the girls chime in they match the tone perfectly and just. UGH. i love the original dlyh that’s all.

heart of stone:

the little part before hos was so heart wrenching :( the way holly musgrave explained how excited jane was for her son to be born made my heart ache ugh. so right off the bat the lyrics are different but they’re SO pretty. the way holly sings is beautiful. i really really love the original lyrics. they’re so beautifully put and give off such a good meaning to what jane felt. holly has the perfect voice for jane and sung hos with such passion and thought. it sounds like she’s reminiscing on her life and thinking of everything that has happened and i can perfectly visualize this song. all the lyrics (minus the chorus) are changed but i really love them and i kinda wish they kept some of them but!!! i still love the current hos but the original is mesmerizing. holly hit every note perfectly especially the belt at the end and when the rest of the queens come in?? *CHEFS KISS*

haus of holbein:

NO ONE WANTS A WAIST OVER 17 INCHES. haus of holbein was amazingly chaotic like always. there wasn’t a lot of lyric changes but there was a lot of insane sounding and i could hear them jumping and stomping around which made it even better. that’s it, i love u hoh. also the part after where they go through the queens till they pick cleves....”sHe LoOkS LiKe a HoRsE” “...a SEXY horse!” hands down my favorite line throughout the whole show WHY didn’t they keep it.

get down:

tilda wickham’s voice is so powerful. the way their (found their pronouns!) get down sounds is just so...pretty? but so powerful and scary and intimidating at the same time? i love how deeper their voice is compared to the rest of the girls. like when they were at the ‘you.’ ‘you said that i tricked ya.’ like that whole line of verses? the rest of the girls go up like three octaves and chime in and i ADORE IT. but tilda’s voice is SO good for the role of cleves, their voice reminds me of genesis’ and courtney’s. i LOVE when tilda started interacting with the audience. basically what they did was said ‘when i sing ‘i’m the queen of the castle, you guys will repeat it back to me.’ and that’s exactly what they did with the audience until the last ‘get down you dirty rascal’ and tilda and the rest of the girls started chanting ‘get down Get Down GET DOWN G E T D O W N’ and i love that so much. i wish they kept that little part in because i love the interaction with the audience:( not a lot of the lyrics were changed, i think it may be a bit faster than the current get down but i like it a lot!

all you wanna do:

so the very start of aywd i don’t know if i like. i was NOT expecting it to sound this different but it’s okay i guess? i think the background music threw me off completely. BUT annabel marlow’s voice is absolutely perfect for howard, she captured the character very well and her voice gives me big aimie vibes. i really like how there’s added in claps from the other girls and i really like the line ‘hold me tight inside your arms’ (i don’t know what she says before that, it’s hard to understand) a lot of the lyrics aren’t changed, a few here and there but the biggest change is the background music, tempo, and beats. it’s slower and more drawn out but i think it keeps throwing me off idk. another lyric i like (but don’t like) is ‘grab ahold of these, please’ (i THINK that’s what she’s saying?) i like it cause it goes well with the entire song but then again :( kat :( overall i really adore annabel’s voice and it matches perfectly for my concept of kat and how i see her character but the original aywd is a little eh for me. also there was no breakdown like sam, aimie, or courtney (mack) does.

i don’t need your love:

shimali’s voice for parr is ASTONISHING. she’s the perfect voice for parr. her voice reminds me of grace’s and maiya’s. i REALLY love this version of idnyl, when all the girls come in at different parts and repeating after her. ‘do we need it?’ ‘we don’t need your love!’ YES! GIRL POWER! WOMEN! FEMINISM! this song gives me a perfect visual of how the queens look coming together when they realize they’re better than henry. i love the original version. everything about it is perfect. the trumpet (i think that’s what it is) the clapping the stomping ITS ALL SO GOOD!!! i think idnyl is my favorite from the student run!!!

six:

okay so the beginning when the music starts sounds straight out of an 80s pop song and i’m HERE FOR IT!!! it sounds like keyboard + electric guitar mixed into one and i love it!!! then the girls start stomping and clapping and hyping up each other up when one of them starts singing their verses it’s so rad!!! there’s also like a tambourine??? i loved all the instruments used throughout the whole show in general and i wish they kept some of the original ones:/ there’s little to no lyric changes besides cleve’s and i’m really glad cause i love six so much and the song is generally my favorite besides aywd. six was so cute and you could hear how happy the girls sounded!!!

overall:

WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE OUR FIRST PROJECT: "Maisie and the Great Big Oak" created by Ananya Bellary

When Maisie, a young girl hitchhiking through the British countryside, encounters a pair of talking mice, she discovers a world of woodland oddities, and perhaps even a little bit of magic.
