Alright... anyone who's a fan of the musical should know where this came from.
One of my best friends [Kate] and myself have created another musical based roleplay.
We've yet to write the plot and get the site going, but I'll give you a sneak preview to it anyways in case any of you may be interested in joining...-winkwinknudgenudge-
It's based on Sondheim's brilliant musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Kate and I have to agree that it's truly a magnificent musical, if not incredibly morbid, but wonderful all the same.
If you don't know the story of Sweeney Todd and want to know, PM me or e-mail me and I'll gladly tell you. If this would encourage you to join the site, don't hesitate. We haven't created it yet, but we're always ready to hear about people willing to join when it opens.
Speaking of it opening...
It won't be opening for a while. Not just due to us needing time to prepare it, but we figured that we'd release it closer to the movie release date. Yes, for those of you that haven't seen previews, Tim Burton has taken on Sweeney Todd and transported him from the stage to the big screen with Helena Bonham Carter as the slightly whacky Mrs. Lovett and Johnny Depp as Mr. Todd himself.
There are two characters we plan to play that are already taken, those being Mrs. Lovett and Johanna Barker.
I'll be posting some information on the availiable characters below if you'd like to know anything about them, or perhaps are interested in joining as one of them.
JUST A NOTE AHEAD OF TIME to anyone that would wish to play Sweeney, you MUST be willing to plot with me about Mrs. Lovett, considering some events take place that we can't use if we want to keep the roleplay alive and thriving. We won't be able to follow the original story ending, because that wouldn't work. If we did that then (for those of you that know the story) we'd be left without some of the major canons and the story would finish quickly, leaving the site to simply gather dust.
ALSO, an * next to any of the characters means possible death, but if you plot with the administrators we may be able to find a way to keep it from happening.
ALSO: those of you that like this site, No Place Like London is actually quite a bit like it. You don't have to play one of the canons, you can create your own original London citizen. It's also based in Victorian London, so for those of you that like the time period you're set to float.
If you want any more information on the site, please contact me and I'll be glad to get it to you.
We look forward to seeing some of you [hopefully] on the site!
