Ghost Quartet (2017)

[@acemoss2878]

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."

the smile on dave's face during the entire show made me so happy he looks so proud

[@blubird6346]

Malloy? Where is he?

[@QuikVidGuy]

@@blubird6346 front row for most of the shots

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.

[@ashtoneva4926]

Green Gal22 And somehow still love it in the end. It's like buying something from tiffany's. You don't know why you bought that expensive peice but its pretty anyway.

[@amelierosemusic]

Ashton Eva that’s EXACTLY it.

[@razberrymist9475]

But that is somehow part of its charm

[@laurelcrown9293]

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?

[@aishujay985]

I can't believe y'all actually gave Brent the cello that's great

[@percy2970]

YALL USED THE EGG SHAKERS RIGHT IN FRONT OF DAVE MALLOY! GODDAMN!

Am I crazy or is Dave Malloy sitting in the audience?! OMG I SCREAMED

[@comrade_salem]

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

[@kilimenjiro3753]

I love that you made sure to give the original cast the instruments.

[@percy2970]

how do you legally marry a musical production

[@maddyclark9771]

omg your pfp i gasped

[@amberlorenz6414]

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)

[@Sam-qf5pq]

WHAT THE FUCK I LIVE LIKE 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM THIS PLACE HOW DID I NOT KNOW ONE OF DAVES MUSICALS WAS GETTING PUT ON

[@MrBandity]

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.

[@zoechuang4278]

also, note, i love the blocking so, so, so, so much

[@PlayingWithFire18]

I wonder if people were surprised that Brent was a boss at the cello.

[@QuikVidGuy]

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+

[@musia2423]

The beatboxing by The Astronomer was awesome

[@CaitlynSofia]

any kind of dead person was SO GOOD i actually applauded in my room at the end of it before catching myself

[@LoHaLc]

I can't get over how incredibly happy Brent looked throughout the whole thing!! This was absolutely incredible, I have no words😭😭 my cheeks hurt from smiling so much oh god

[@coraa232]

The first song sounds exactly like "Pierre" from Great Comet with a hint of "Sunday Morning"

[@4dultw1thj0b]

The beginning of Subway always makes me think of the beginning of A Call To Pierre

[@fiedyasolyetov5763]

I agree with you both!!!!

[@zoechuang4278]

beginning of usher p.one with the cello bit sounds like private and intimate life of the home

[@andreaswarren3221]

i dont know makes me think of private and intimate life of the house when bolkonsky says "bring me my slippers"

[@sarahsweeney9899]

living for the lighting design for sides 3 and 4

[@dannyb9992]

Everyone must have been so nervous w dave there

[@jasvwong]

love this!! and i love that the original cast got a chance to finish wind & rain 😊

[@4dultw1thj0b]

Interesting how Dave and Brent's roles got switched up a bit here.

[@aperson4607]

IM SO PROUD OF THIS PRODUCTION

[@cluckcluckchicken]

omg I wish my school would perform this!

[@crazilyawesome7599]

The Astronomer made me tingle. This is so good!!

[@kristinafermann7257]

So glad that I found this. Hauntingly beautiful.

[@butterflytaster5553]

Everyone sounds so amazing, holy fuck This show is amazing (deapite the fact I had to constantly cross-reference it with Dave's annotations on Genius when the alternate iterations confused me) and I'm honestly immensely glad that the first version I were to see of it was this

[@sahnirac]

This is incredible!!! Ive always wanted to see the full show

[@josephsolari3259]

I was like ... Dave? DAVE???

[@lavoru]

THE SCRELTING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[@iisazelx9340]

I'm only seven minutes in, but I'm hearing a lot of GC

[@cryptidcore4662]

10:37 uh is that dave in the front row

[@beehaslam707]

thats what i thought!!!!

[@SongsToRemeber]

That is Dave Malloy. There is also the rest of the cast there as well if you look closely. (Also if you check twitter :P)

[@veronicabeatrice1133]

Hi! I played Gelsey in this production :) Dave Malloy and the entire original cast came to see our performance (and we may or may not have gotten milkshakes with them afterward...)

[@RileyPoll]

Veronica Walton LUCKY!! how'd y'all even get to do this show ?

[@anditamayo4022]

I wonder how they felt seeing dave watchthem do his work

[@katrymer3176]

This was done very well!!! I love what was done with it!!! Very, very good!!

[@oldprincebolkonskyiscrazya782]

Yes

[@sarahellis9054]

This is so amazing! I literally listen to this twice a day during school

[@CaptainQuirky]

This is astounding!!!!!!!

[@FereldenRefugee]

omg how did i not know u guys did this last semester D: this is so great

[@smileysurvivor101]

That was AMAZING!

[@senordebeans7897]

I cannot wait to audition for this

[@kellykelleher7321]

Wonderful ♡♡♡♡♡

[@a390652]

This is really good!!

[@QuikVidGuy]

the person who i think is Gelsey is trying very hard to stop herself from conducting during the camera shop or is that gels on the other side next to Brent

[@areyoureadyforlove6963]

does anyone know the fiddle notes for wind & rind?

[@jellyfishyishy]

I thought Roxie is seven LOL why is she cursing

[@kittypiy]

shes seventeen lmao

[@lostinthemelody983]

How did you get the rights and music to produce this show. I would love to put it on

[@chloeathena2348]

LostInTheMelody 3578 i was wondering the same thing.

[@joeysnowy4110]

the script & libretto (well, some semblance of one) is on dave malloy's store!! bluewizardmusic.myshopify.com/

[@chloeathena2348]

Hannah Weissmann thank you so much!

[@janemccaffrey1535]

This is amazing!!!! How were you guys able to license the show?

[@rosshalper6708]

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.

[@ahhhfakemonsters]

I'd guess that Pearl was in an a capella group with that beat boxing

[@dollveins]

[@gracehofer7142]

[@jellyfishyishy]

Lovers? How?

[@thenefariousnerd7910]

Rose seduces the Soldier (who is one of the lives of Pearl) for her pot of honey.

[@jellyfishyishy]

The Nefarious Nerd Yeah, but were they actually lovers? And....how did they have kids....

[@lexaltacc5308]

I believe Rose and the Driver, not Rose and Pearl, had kids but I could be wrong

[@giomuncal2634]

tulips4cho 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.
