 I’m
confused. Are the characters putting on a show or are they characters
from the shows or are they generic characters like “the female prisoner”
or “the teenaged greaser”?
 All
of the characters in the game are directly taken from Broadway
musicals. So expect to be playing characters like
Mary Poppins, Captain Hook, Elphaba, Patsy, or Arthur, King of the
Britons.
Does
this mean I can play a great character from my favourite musical and
sing some of my favourite songs?
If
the musical is in the game, then very much Yes. Plus we love you. And
there are plots and character backgrounds from more shows in the game than
those listed on the information
page.
I
don’t like performing in front of others, or singing. Won’t I have to do
both of these if I play the game?
No.
There are plenty of opportunities to sing or perform for those who revel
in them, but this is always optional. As usual, nobody will be expected
to do anything they don’t want to do.
Will
this be a proper Weekend-Long Freeform, or just a series of vignettes
I’ll have to watch people perform?
Freeforming
is all about interactions between people in character. Lullaby of
Broadway: Into the Woods is first and foremost a freeform. Characters
are detailed, linked to people from musicals other than their own and
fully-plotted. We hope some players will want to sing, but nobody will
ever have to sing or be the audience. There will be plenty of other
areas to go and role-play in.
But
how do I know I’ll enjoy the game? Is it any good?
As
with any game, the only way to find out for sure is to play it. Tony Mitton
says; "I played in all three Lullaby of Broadway games and had a great
time in all of them. For the record, I didn’t sing a note in two games
and mumbled in the chorus for a couple of songs in one".
Is
the game suitable for children?
Probably.
It is about fairy tales, but some of them are very dark. Talk to us if
you are a child, or have a child wanting to play.
Will
I have to sing if you cast me as a character with lots of songs? Like,
say, Mary Poppins or Glinda?
No.
So
I really don’t have to sing or dance if I don’t want to? Promise?
We
promise. Not even for Defying Gravity, if you don’t want to.
I’m
still not convinced, can you tell me more? And what about…?
