Broadway Warriors
Project Overview
This project is one that I've wanted to make come to life for quite a while now. This will be a Warrior Cats project, posted to Youtube, where lyrics of popular musical songs (May expand to mainstream songs) will have their lyrics edited to fit the canon Warriors plotline. I have a few songs finished and while I can do SOME singing, I'd much prefer if I had a range of talented singers/VAs to help me bring this project to fruition.
This will be a continuous project, for as long as you can possibly be there to do the project, but it would be preferable if you were availible for a solid few months before you decided to leave the project. If you don't have much time on your hands, it would be better for you to audition for the chorus, where you can come and go as you please. More roles will be added and removed as time goes on and as songs are completed and posted.
For now, the lyrics to seven different songs have been completed, and the characters relevant to those songs (Plus the chorus) are what will be posted in the roles section first.
The base requirements for this project are a good microphone, a solid singing voice, and time. This will be a project that may not finish for a long while, and I want to keep going for as long as possible. You will also need a Discord account so that all singers and writers may keep in touch with each other. Feel free to email me for questions and other such things. Thank you for your time.

I imagine Tigerstar to sound somewhat like Scar from the Lion King when he speaks. Something very smooth and would be used to manipulate others. When he's angry, his voice should be dripping with venom and hate. He's a VERY emotional character at times, though will be composed when he needs to be.
[Sing a song you think would fit Tigerstar, preferably something with either a bass or baritone. Make this from 1-2 minutes. Some song suggestions:
Alive- Jeckyll and Hyde Musical
When You're Evil - Voltaire]"Not for much longer. I'm going to kill you and kill you again. As many times as it takes for you to join StarClan forever. Its time for me to lead this Clan!" [Spoken]
"Friendship is worthless. You have learned an important lesson, one
that I could have never taught you. But I will teach you much more.
There'll come a day when you'll be so powerful, you'll have no need for
friends. And when that day comes, I promise you will never regret that
you chose to be a warrior." [Spoken]
Leafpool is a very gentle cat with a lot of dignity to spare. Her heart is always in the right place, but she can end up making bad decisions because of it. I imagine her to have a very steady voice, with VERY little nasal to it.
[A song you feel would fit Leafpool. 1-2 minutes in length. I'd prefer for her vocal range to be from a mezzo-soprano to a soprano.
Song suggestions:
Don't Cry For Me, Argentina- Evita
Suddenly Seymour - Little Shop of Horrors]"Destiny isn't a path that any cat follows blindly. It is always a
matter of choice, and sometimes the heart speaks loudest. Deep down, I
always knew what I had to do, and that's why I came back to the Clan.
Whatever else happens, I trust you to know the right thing to do as
well. Listen to your heart, Lionblaze, because that's where your true
destiny lies." [Spoken]"We must do all we can to help our Clan-Mates, but it is up to StarClan to choose the moment of death" [Spoken]
Cinderpelt is a caring cat, but doesn't have any patience for idiocy. She can be quite grumpy but never cruel towards anyone and that tenderness can be allowed to shine at times.
[A song you feel would fit Cinderpelt. 1-2 minutes of singing. I imagine her voice to be that of an alto, with a bit of grumpy gruffness to it at times
Song ideas:
Worst Pies In London - Sweeney Todd
Grandma's Song - Billy Elliot]"Of course. I have made good friends in all the Clans. I've seen kits
born and watched elders leave on their final journey to Silverpelt. I've
made the long journey to the Clans' new home. Believe me, I wouldn't
change a single day. I know it is not in your power to give me longer
with my Clan, but I can't help wanting more.""How do YOU know what I want? How do you know the what hopes I gave up to follow the path StarClan laid out for me?!"
Jagged Peak, in this role, is as he is as a kit. So from Dawn of the Clans 1-3 ish. His attitude is generally quite peppy and energetic as he's a kit, always wanting to try new things as per his curious nature.
[A song that you feel would fit Jagged Peak. 1-2 minutes. Preferably in the tenor/alto range.
Song ideas:
Electricity - Billy Elliot
I Got No Strings - Pinocchio]"It's too late! You clearly think I'm a waste of space. Why else would
you have thrown me out of the forest? And now that I'm beginning to
prove myself, you need Gray Wing to tell you what I've done. Will I ever be good enough?""We'll be okay. We have each other now! And did you see how I
fought off that eagle? You'd have been chickfeed if it wasn't for me!"
Yellowfang is a character who is somehow more crotechy than her apprentice, Cinderpelt. With little patience, she carries herself with pride and a self assurance in everything she does.
[Sing something you feel would fit Yellowfang. Preferably alto range. 1-2 minutes.
Song ideas:
Class - Chicago
There Are Worse Things I Could Do - Grease]"But when your kits are born, Leafpool, you will learn that your heart
has space in it to love more than you could possibly imagine. Loving
your kits does not mean you have less love for your Clan"But it was my mistake and I had to live with it. And there was a part
of me that still remembered him as a newborn kit-the tiny scrap of fur I
had nursed in the hollow of a dead tree. When I had to kill him to
protect my new adopted Clan, I knew I was finally at the end of my
punishment. I had brought him into this world; I had to send him out, as
painful as it was. But by then "I had found a truer son than Brokentail
ever could have been. I only hope that Fireheart will rise to be the
great leader that Brokenstar never was and that, in some small way, I
have helped to set him on that path. Then, perhaps, StarClan will
forgive me at last."
Fireheart is the main character of the original Warriors series. With a strong sense of will and and an unbroken determination, Firestar faces his enemies and hardships without ever backing down.
[A song you feel would fit Fireheart. I imagine him as sounding a tad like Dodger from Oliver and Co. but you can definitely try a different angle.
Song ideas: Why Should I Worry? - Oliver and Company
Strangers Like Me - Tarzan]"Loyalty is what matters, and that exists now, not in the
past. Loyalty has to be proved every day, in every piece of fresh-kill
brought back for the Clan, every claw mark on our enemies, every patrol,
every training session.""Surely it is our struggle against hardship that makes us true
warriors. You think fresh blood in the Clans will weaken us? A life
without hardship will weaken us more."
Graystripe, as of now, only has a small role in these songs but will probably have a larger role later. Feel free to audition for this role if you only intend to stay for a short time with the team.
[A song you feel would fit Greystripe. I imagine him to be in the Tenor/baritone range. 1-2 minutes.
Song ideas:
This Is The Moment - Jekyll and Hyde
Epiphany - Sweeney Todd]"I can't leave my kits. Oh, they are very well cared for in the
nursery. They would be safe and happy with RiverClan. But I don't think I
could bear to be away from them. They remind me too much of
Silverstream.""Cats of ThunderClan, I'm so glad that I came back to find
ThunderClan. I could never have made the journey without Millie, and I
was so blessed by StarClan to have a second chance to raise kits. I have
lost so many cats who were precious to me, and not a day goes by when I
don't think of Silverstream, Feathertail, and Stormfur. But I have no
quarrel with StarClan for the path they chose for me, and I'm proud of
all my kits."
Bluestar is a very tragic character, but she doesn't let that get in the way of getting things done. She's level headed and can be mischeivous when she wants to be.
[A song you feel would fit Bluestar. 1-2 minutes. I feel that Bluestar would have an Alto/Mezzo-Soprano range.
Song ideas:
The Lamest Place In The World - Thirteen
The Wizard And I - Wicked"I can't be what I want to be. I need to be as strong as fire. I
need to save my Clan. It is for the best. I hope they know that they
have been loved. Even if they don't remember me, I hope they'll know
that.""I love them so much. But I love my Clan, too. I could never wish they
hadn't been born, but why now? What if my Clan needs me more than they
do?"
The chorus will have the smallest part, and haven't got any songs written with them in as of yet.
[A song that shows your range and capabilities. 1-3 minutes in length.]
A statement of how long you'd be willing to be in the chorus for.
This project IS a labour of love, and it would be much appreciated if I could get fellow lyric writers and proofreaders on the scene to assist me with this.
Please email me at [email protected] and I'll get in touch with you.
