You walked into a big auditorium, there were show tunes playing over the speaker. The place got filled up pretty quick! A man in a black suit with a red tie came on stage, he was writing the musical, he got a call from the producer asking for a new musical to be ready in 75 minutes. We then gave suggestions of musicals to inspire a particular number in the new musical, we suggested Mama Mia, and Les Mis. We also suggested a setting, guy in the audience called out "A bookie in Paisley!" and this is what we went with as it made everyone piss themselves. Another person suggested calling it 'The Winner Takes it All' and the musical was ready.
The actors came onstage and made the whole thing up on the spot with an improvised band and everything, it was really clever! There was a love story developing between two of the characters, when the guy writing the musical stopped everything and said "Sorry, sir who suggested this location what's your name?" to which they guy responded with "Stewart.". Then the man on stage asked if anyone else apart from Stewart was from Paisley and no one responded. It then cut back to the musical and the man in the love story became Stewart and there was a whole musical number made up about him. It was fab!
COMA
It was based in a shipping container, we were told to put our stuff in a box that was just outside the container. When we walked inside it was as if we were inside a hospital ward corridor kind of, there were plastic wrapped mattresses in bunks of 3 running all the way to the end of the container. We had to lie down on the bed and put on the headphones That will lying in the centre of the pillow each bunk. They beeped and the left ear and said left ear, then they beeped in the right ear and said right ear to make sure they were the right way on. Then there was a countdown from 10 to 1 during this the whole container went dark and red emergency lights came on as the countdown was going guy and the headphones were saying that this is your opportunity to leave if you need to. The guy on the headphones also spoke about the pill was on a silver dish to the right of you, he said that the pill had no active ingredients and that would enhance the experience that I was about to go on. I took it and it was just a weird powdery sugar pill thing didn't really taste very nice. As the countdown continued their red emergency lights faded away and once you hit one it was complete the blacked out. So dark you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face. The whole experience sounded like someone was walking up and down the isle between the two sets of bunk beds. For me it was on my left hand side and I was in the middle bunk bed. The guy was pacing up and down talking about the room, and how we need to remember what reality is otherwise will forget. He said to remember the cream walls, the white ,no, cream mattresses and all other things within the room. As this was happening a lady was also walking up and down asking people if they taking the pill and if not they hadn't getting them to take it. Then she pulled the shutter as if there was a shutter to the side of your bed, kind of like a morge, and she whispered right in your ear “what about this one?”. Then all hell broke loose and there were flies buzzing everywhere, you could hear your heart pounding, there was beating against the shipping container the beds are shaking. The whole experience lasted about 25 minutes from start to end. When it finished the lights just came on and some relaxing music played and we were expected to leave.
VULVARINE
This was a musical about a girl who decided to say womankind. She developed superpowers by getting struck by lightning after receiving an injection from a doctor. The main character was called Bryony buckle and she worked in an office where her and her friend realised that some accounting for the tampon tax was incorrect. This led them to find a fake account with money pouring into it and wanted to know what happened stop when Bryony develop superpowers she made it her mission to save women who were in trouble.The villain in the show was called the man's planar and he was wanting to wipe all women from earth. This is why he gave Bryony an injection at the doctors however with Bryony it didn't work the way he planned. Bryony made it her mission to go after this man and save women kind.
The whole experience was hilarious from start to end it was crazy bonkers with lots of physical and visual comedy. My favourite part was when Bryony and her friend were having lunch on the terrace and this guy came out pretending to be a pigeon and just went coo whilst falling on the floor. The songs in the musical does well were really funny and super catchy.
SILENT DISCO WALKING TOUR
This silent disco walking tour of Edinburgh is just a bonkers experience. You get given a set of headphones that were all connected to the rest of your group as well as your instructor. Then he tells you that by having these headphones on you have a magical filter means your voice sounds exactly like the recording. So we walked around Grassmarket pretending to be chickens and we laid an egg that was our ego and we cracked it so our ego was gone we didn't carry more. We then listened to various pop songs whilst walking around Edinburgh singing at the top of our lungs. We sang blame it on the boogie by Michael Jackson offer of a balconied Street in Edinburgh Grassmarket. We pretended to be spied meerkats on the Royal mile hiding behind lampposts and buskers and telephone boxes. The sang Bohemian Rhapsody as a choir mob, we hid in different spots on the Royal mile and when our instructor said go we started seeing Bohemian Rhapsody and gathered on the set of steps on the Royal mile. By the end of the song we had a massive audience of people watching us when we finished they gave us a huge round of applause, it was crazy. Towards the end we sang 500 miles by the proclaimers along a main street in Edinburgh, half of those were on one side of the road and half on the other we sang it across to each other as we walked along the street. The final song we sang was we are family and we finished this back at Grassmarket, we held hands in a massive line and...
