Will.of.Oz (Unexpected Musical) — PattyCake Productions music video

For the third offering in their Unexpected Musicals series, the PattyCake guys got even more ambitious. Combining the club jams of the Black Eyed Peas with the spectacle of The Wizard of Oz required a bigger cast and more locations than their first two videos. Not to mention all the costumes, props, set pieces, and visual effects. But they pulled all of it off with their own unique flair.

Details:

performers: Rachel Copeland (Dorothy); Alexander Browne (Scarecrow / coronor / Winkie guard); E. Michael Evans (Tin Man); Earl Elkins, Jr. (Cowardly Lion); Olivia Adkins (Glinda); Kathy Castellucci (Wicked Witch); Fletcher Wakim (Toto); Eli Jacobson (Lollipop Guild); Annesley Kolb, Kelsey Kolb, & Lilly Kolb (Lullaby League); Charlie Crook, Blanca Rosero, Savannah Simerly, Annabel Rosario, Danielle Peronto, Fred Ramos, Nick Perez, Britt Nicole, Richard Bianco, Polly Pocket, & Jonathan Shane Ferrell (munchkins)

arranged by: Tony Wakim & Layne Stein

release date: 5 December 2016

My favorite bits:

the munchkins' various entertaining entrances

Eli recreating the Lollipop Guild's expressions and herky-jerky dance moves

the Scarecrow saying ♫ "lose control of body and soul" ♫ as he's gangling about

the "Ding Dong" instrumental melody playing underneath Dorothy and the Scarecrow's exit

and "If I Only Had…" under the Tin Man's introduction

including the iconic "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!" as a counterpoint to "Don't Phunk With My Heart"

Earl's fantastic lion growl and melodramatic wailing (and poor little Fletcher getting confused by it)

the lovely harmonized ♫ "no no no no" ♫ section in "Don't Lie"

the bombast of "Boom Boom Pow" being delivered by the illusory visage of Oz the Great and Powerful

Kathy's pitch-perfect Margaret Hamilton witch cackle

the layered melodies in the coda section

all those incredible costumes (Tony was busy!)

Trivia:

According to PattyCake's Instagram teasers, it took 68 yards of fabric to make Glinda's voluminous gown, 2500 hand-stiched sequins to cover each pair of ruby slippers, and 57 pounds of actual tin to make the Tin Man's armor.

The Lullabye League is portrayed by Layne's step-daughters.

Jonathan Shane Ferrell isn't just one of the munchins. He's also one of the artists from Makeup & Creative Arts who provided the incredible character prosthetics.

PattyCake released their first public blooper reel for this project, and it is very fun.

The team at Makeup & Creative Arts released a time lapse prosthetics demo video for their Oz collection a couple years later with Dan Varnum donning the Lion's mane, Kathy Castellucci reprising her Wicked Witch role, Geoff Castellucci going gray silver as the Tin Man, & Paul Kaleka getting stuffed into the Scarecrow's burlap.

Rachel slipped back into Dorothy's gingham dress the following year to play Judy Garland in PattyCake's "La La Land" video.

Tony had performed "Let's Get It Started" many, many times during his decade as Dracula in the "Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue" at Universal Studios.

"Let's Get It Started" was also part of the opening medley for VoicePlay's second episode of The Sing-Off, though not the section the guys were featured in.

Layne had previously created a remix of "I Gotta Feeling" back in 2010 through his studio, Rayne's Room.

(context for this one: I'm talking mostly about long medleys that sample or quote a couple dozen different songs, a genre where it's normal to indicate precisely how many songs have been sampled, and to assign a number to each sample used. see ryuupekosi for an example of this in my own work.)

I love how the broken, gilded cage Robin sits in appears to resemble a waterphone (and a phonograph within, by the look of it?). You may have heard its beautiful haunting voice in horror films and music in general. That the splash art attributes it to her, a Path of Harmony character, The Robin of Penacony, renowned singer across the stars, is so cool.

#HSR #Honkai Star Rail #Robin hsr #Trying to reclaim what dignity I have #. #It's such a great choice of musical instruments #A medley of instruments honestly #They really said the waterphone is for the sapphics-- (SHOT) #So far I've only seen one (1) public tweet about the waterphone like ueueue (sound of crying) #Robin! Waterphone! It's a delightful surprise ough #Also not to mention birds galore.... #Birbs #The waterphone needs to leave me alone help I am still not over the fact they put it in Robin's splash art #Like she can apparently have resonance with other lifeforms? Excited to see how they'll spin it from there #Makes me want to re-experience Tales of the Abyss lore again waugh #Fonons... Fonic Hymn... The Score... #Robin von Star Rail as a Tales of character help #I need to stop rambling in the tags and catch Zs but music instruments! Robin! Chef's kiss

Michaeleficent (Unexpected Musical) — PattyCake Productions music video

Most Disney villains revel in their evilness to some degree, but few are more deliciously vindictive than Maleficent. And few pop superstars have embodied self-confidence and thwarting detractors in their musical performances like Michael Jackson. When the PattyCake guys decided to combine the two for their Unexpected Musicals series, they created a bit of magic of their own.

Details:

title: Unexpected Musicals — Michaeleficent

performers: Leah Lowman (Maleficent); Paul Kaleka (King Stefan); Doris Stein (baby Aurora); Bebe Caliberr Mercy (Aurora / additional vocals); Jason James (Phillip / additional vocals); Hannah Juliano & Eli Jacobson (additional vocals)

original songs / performer: all songs by Michael Jackson — [0:14] "Bad"; [0:25] "Beat It"; [1:09] "Human Nature"; [1:48] "Smooth Criminal"; [1:58] "Thriller"; [2:54] "Will You Be There"

written by: "Bad" by Michael Jackson; "Beat It" by Michael Jackson; "Human Nature" by Steve Porcaro & John Bettis; "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson; "Thriller" by Rod Temperton; "Will You Be There" by Michael Jackson

arranged by: Layne Stein & Tony Wakim

release date: 12 May 2017

My favorite bits:

Leah's fantastic villain laugh

interweaving "Bad" and "Beat It" as a conversation

Phillip and Aurora's meet-cute sequence

Leah giving her best Vincent Price at the start of "Thriller"

cool dragon! 🐲

the excellent use of ♫ "kiss me and free me" ♫

that last shot of Maleficent leaving room for a sequel

Trivia:

The dedication "for Maggie" refers to Maggie Wakim, Tony's younger sister, who is also a singer and actor. She later appeared in the Princess Academy series.

The interior scenes for this video were filmed at the Maitland Art Center historic landmark. With the right set dressing and lighting, the building's Maya-influenced Art Deco stone structure made a pretty decent Medieval castle.

Jason James is the son of Jeremy and Shalisa James from Vox Audio, who Layne and Tony had known through both the theme park and a cappella worlds, and a talented performer in his own right.

Jaimz Dillman once again served as location and production manager, as well as appearing on screen as one of the courtiers.

The PattyCake guys had worked with Paul Kaleka for many years in his capacity as VoicePlay's sound engineer for their live shows and occasional audio mixer for their studio recordings. But this was their first opportunity to feature his acting talents.

Layne and Tony had filmed another incarnation of Maleficent two and a half years earlier in VoicePlay's video for "Once Upon A Dream".

When the Maleficent sequel film was announced, the boys got to work on a sequel of their own. Leah returned for a rendition of Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy" just in time for Halloween 2019.

If you venture into the YouTube comments, be aware that there are a lot of pedants griping about the ending being taken from Sleeping Beauty rather than the live action Maleficent film. (They did it for the portmanteau, folks. No need to be so stringent.)

joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of best friends we're the kids who feel like dead ends And I want to be known for my hits not just my misses I took the shot and didn't even come close at trust, and love, and hope and the poets are just kids who didn't make it and we never had it at all And the record won't stop skipping, and the lies just won't stop slipping, and besides my reputation's on the line We Can Fake It For The Airwaves, force our smiles, baby, half-dead From comparing myself to everyone else around me... please put the doctor on the phone cause I'm not making any sense blame everyone but me for this mess and my back has been breaking from this heavy heart we never seemed so far I'm hopelessly hopeful, you're just hopeless enough but We Never Had It At All and the record won't stop skipping and the lies just won't stop slipping and BESIDES MY REPUTATION'S ON THE LINE.... WE CAN FAKE IT FOR THE AIRWAVES FORCE OUR SMILES, BABY, HALF-DEAD, FROM COMPARING MYSELF TO EVERYONE ELSE AROUND ME to Everyone else around me.... Everyone Else around Me.... everyone else around me

#I need you to understand I only heard this song like 3 days ago when they did it as a piano medley song but I literally #already have it memorized #like... oh. Oh. #Lu rambles #music #fob #fall out boy
