A Musical About a Musical( Les Mares erables)
Project Overview
This is not a pony version of Les Miserable but rather ponies trying to preform Les Mis and most of the songs are them getting prepared for the big night. this takes place before Season 3 so twilight is not yet a princess and trixie is not yet reformed(who better to be a villain of a stage show then a known preformer?)
The Cutie Mark Crusaders try doing a stage show to whoch Pinkie Pie suggests Les Miserables. Twilight is brought in to censor the show to make it child-appropriate, Pinkie finds the idea of rewrites to be fun and takes over as director. meanwhile The Great and Powerful Trixie is out to sabatoge the show for being snubbed as Fantine resulting in a big, musical mess. But a FUN musical mess, right?

The quietest and shyest pony in town...unless you get on her bad side, which rarely happens, thankfully.
Circus? Um, will there be clowns? I don't like clowns...
If you ask me, I...I don't think he looks so bad...

Scootaloo is another Crusader, and very headstrong. Although she is a pegasus, she is unable to fly spends all of her time recklessly driving around on her scooter.
I don't know anymore! We're never gonna get those cutie marks!
Why are you so sad? We did it, it's finally showtime!

though i do look pretty cuddly
that girly stuff ain't for me
but i still want a mark to make me cuter
though to get what is my dream
i'm about ready to scream
maybe my mark is all about my scooter
maybe i was meant to be a famous racer
dashing all around out for a lark
but i've raced for quite a while
i have made it my own style
and even now there is no cutie mark

a major drama queen and an egoist who doesn’t realize that she’s an egoist
has a trans-atlantic accent.
Dear, I have heard marvelous things about this show from my friends in the city, but I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. It seems rather…childish.
Stranger things have happened, I suppose.

Casting Call Club: Mystery Pinkie Pie Theater 3000 (guest riffers)Celestia's stern sister, who, although a benevolent alicorn, often doubts the skills of the little ponies that she and her sister rule over.
I realize that there are a token few who have come through for us in the past, but I wonder sometimes...
A princess? Her? Are you sure the crowds would embrace her? We are looking at serious controversy, dear sister.

An alicorn, Celestia rules over her little ponies and does her best to keep everypony happy and content. Despite being royalty, she often encourages her subjects to relax with jokes and gentle questions. She also shows great patience with any inappropriate behavior towards her,
Luna, more happens down in Ponyville than you think.
Someday, perhaps, Twilight will be an alicorn herself.

Demo Track for Audition https://soundcloud.com/equestria_musical/javert-demo
Twilight Sparkle's Young assistant. Like any small child, he is often curious, loud-mouthed, and at times snarky. He is a skilled piano player, and has a major crush on Rarity which is main motivation for trying to get the role of Javert in the musical
are you okay? Twilight's over at Applejack's, and she asked me to check on you.
This is my chance! i can really impress Rarity with how deep and soulful the character of Javert is! He's even more complex than Jean Valjean
(to the tune of "out there" from hunchback of notre dame)
https://soundcloud.com/equestria_musical/javert-demo
Safe inside of Twilight's home i see her passing bythough she glances at me very rarely
i long for the day i can finally say hi
although that idea does often scare me
there's a love that's burning in my belly
like a fire that's ready to flare me
when i see dear Rarity, it's like walking on a cloud
more than a crush
oh so much more
and Javert
he could save the day
when i'm playing
Javert
that could be a way
for me to impress her
Javert
what a role i've gotta say
he so deep
it made me weep
the first time i saw Javert

My sister! We gotta find her!
How in the name of Celestia does he do that?
(Sing any song)
Not much is known about this mysterious pony, but he loves the stage and is often the leading man in the shows. Who knows what adventures he has while nopony is looking?
the star of the show Jean Valjean(actually just a background role)
Ahh, the stage is calling.
Allons-y!

Pinkie Pie considers herself to be a friend to everypony in town. She is the personification of bubbliness and happiness. The director and pony who suggested the idea of Les Miserables in the first place
Aww, but you shoulda seen how happy they were! I can't disappoint them! It's not in my bouncy, fun-filled nature!
(spike runs off stage crying in shame) Gee, the lyrics really got to the poor guy. I'm good.
(to the tune of the Gravity falls theme)

In Les Mis
here's how it is
songs of war and those who've been wronged
with Jean Valjean
oh my gosh
Fantine, Cosette, and Gavroche
so many lives are then lost
the music you'll lose it
it will leave you all in awe
Thats how it goes in
Les Miserables

Twilight is extremely bright, adorably dorky, and incredibly neurotic, often panicking over the smallest issues.she wants to censorthe show so it is more child friendly but thinks Pinkie's rewrites might be taking a little too far.
Well, we had to adjust the show for the children, but now I'm not so sure if that was a good idea or not..
If we could just go about this logically...
(to the tune of "it's easy m'kay" from south park bigger, long, and uncut)
https://soundcloud.com/equestria_musical/its-not-always-bad-demo
there are times when censorship is wrong
my beliefs in that are very strong
but in this case i think it's okay
and it must be done for the kids safe-tayyy?
we can do it
cause it isn't always bad
if we wanna help the kids
then a good time will be had
we might just scratch some out
and then a little more
Maybe tone down the part with the war
and then none ot the audience will be sad
it's not always bad

Demo Track for Audition https://soundcloud.com/equestria_musical/applebloom
Apple Bloom is the leader of a group called “The Cutie Mark Crusaders,” a trio of young ponies who desperately want to get their “Cutie Marks,” which is an image that appears on young ponies’ flanks when they discover their special talents. It is a coming-of-age type of thing, and the Crusaders are late bloomers. Apple Bloom speaks with a southern accent and is generally the one who gets all the ideas for the trio’s adventures.
Well, that doctor idea sure didn't work out! Messier than I thought, too.
Where's Sweetie Belle? We can't do Act I without her!
(to the tune of "I've Got a Dream" from Tangled)
we've tried dancing, animation
cooking and aviation
We've even tired out zookeeping and knitting
but despite try after try
we can't help but sit and cry
we just can't find a cutie mark that's fitting
can't you just see something on my poor bare flank here
until then, we're all stuck in the dark
we keep dreaming of the day when we finally can say
we've really go our own cutie marks

Sweetie belle is a wonderful singer but she is usually too scared to do it in front of large crowds of ponies. She plays the role of Fantine in the musical
Hey, look, my sister's come to watch!
I wasn't scared before, 'cause the show was so far away, but now it's here and I'm...afraid.
(to the tune of "I've Got a Dream" from Tangled)
I've been told i'm good at singing
But the stage fright is stinging
So them i tried my hooves out on some sewing
But the clothes could not be worn
Cause the fabirc got all torn
I really should have guessed where that was going.
Our cutie marks
Our cutie marks
I wanna think and really make some sparks
i feel that it is my duty
To prove i'm a real cutie
and finally get my dearest cutie mark

after being snubbed from getting the role of Fantine and cast as Madame Thénardier (the Villainess) she decides the best course of action is to kidnap Fantine(Sweetie Belle), and take over the role she feels she rightfully deserves.
Behold, all! The Great and Powerful Trixie has RETURNED!
Me playing a Thénardier it's an outrage! why did i get involved with this foolish show? I was here to get revenge on Twilight Sparkle! Still, the stage calls and i do hate to go back on my word. I suppose i can make this work. *evil laugh*
(to the tune of "Big and Loud part 2" from Cats Don't Dance)
I've suffered an awful defeat indeed
At the hooves of some nopony nerd
I'll take it on those annoying filies
Although twilight would be prefered
I'll get in their good graces
Ruin them from the inside
When they figure out my plot
Their puny brains will be fried
Trixie's show
It's gonna be Trixie's show
I'll be the truest, brightest star
It's gonna be the great
Powerful
The Great and Powerful Trixie's...
*maniacal laughter*
Show!

Demo Track for Audition: https://soundcloud.com/equestria_musical/sword-fight-demo
The self-proclaimed coolest pony in town. In her eyes, she's the hippest, raddest, most awesome pony to ever live. In reality, it's not that far from the truth, but would it really kill her to boast about it a little bit less?
if you want my opinion this play needs about 20% more swordfights.
I'm telling you, a swordfight is NEVER out of place! If I could hold a sword, I'd fight ponies all the time!
(to the tune of "Two Hornpipes" from Pirates of the Caribbean)
everything i'll be alright
if you threw in a big swordfight
with slashing and with clanging
and then suddenly a jab
oh, everything will be ok
the audience is in your sway
with wooshing and with clashing
and with a big stab
