This article is the second part of my vision for UPD-Institute of Chemistry’s grand musical presentation as a separate activity for its centennial year. This write-up includes primarily the rough draft of the plot of the musicale.
Tentative Major Characters
Although I already have names in mind, I have decided to give the final names of the major characters only when this play becomes more concrete and auditions are really ready to be made for the said parts. For now, forgive me for using (Name of Group) (B for Boy/G for Girl)(Number) for this rough draft of the plot. Example: Brawn B1
Rough Draft of Plot
One will notice that the following is a super rough draft of the plot of the musicale. Also it is obvious that some parts were unfilled. In lieu of this, I would like to implore your help to provide songs that are suitable to complete the play. In addition, comments and suggestions are significant in converting this musical backbone into the real script.
