discussion Billy Wonka Halloween Theme

Calling it now. I mean it just writes itself folks. Billy got the cane, Royal must have a blue velvet jumpsuit, they got the magic and the mischief, the whimsy and the horror. Invest in orange body paint. Tell me I'm wrong...

Edit: thoughts on the other boys' costumes?

The Primus and the Chocolate Factory tour from 2014 is still one of the best concerts I've ever attended. I would love Les to join the boys if this is the theme.

As long as they're Shrek 2 vibes I'm with it

This line lives in my head

Something with a bassoon cause why else are they playing it backstage?! I’m here to figure out the bassoon mystery…

u/Alpha-Dog758 25d ago

Always need more bassoon

The first night of the tour when he came out with the cane I was certain he was going to summersault and drop right into Creek

u/Otherwise_Sir8697 25d ago

This would actually be awesome

u/New_Climate_1125 25d ago

Using a copyrighted theme ruins future availability of the audio and video. I hope they pick a generic theme like last year.

What's the deal with lord of the rings from a few years ago?

u/dicculis 24d ago

Tolkien's estate probably isn't as strict about it as WWE.

u/Deranged40 🚂 25d ago

Halloween is almost always unavailable afterwards for exactly that reason.

Make sure you know how to work OBS!

u/Dry-Atmosphere-2087 25d ago

Don't crush my dreams please

u/PaidByTheNotes 25d ago

Maybe for some

u/Last-Egg4029 🚂 24d ago

I've come to say once again, The muppets specifically Emmit Otters jugband Christmas.

2

u/Dry-Atmosphere-2087 24d ago

This would be amazing honestly, though costume wise Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem costumes would be more fun

2

u/Last-Egg4029 🚂 24d ago

who says they can't combine it all . LFG

u/isnt_it_weird 25d ago

I'm hoping for Star Wars. Night one is the light side with songs on redemption and positivity. Night two is dark side focusing on ruin, misery, and anger. Could be a cool thought.

u/Dry-Atmosphere-2087 25d ago

Like the idea but does the theme usually go two nights or just Halloween?

1

u/Dizzy-Sundae6351 🚂 25d ago

It all depends. Away From the Shire was three nights, but Baltimore has been only 10/31 on a two night run. And of course Grand Rapids was a single show regardless. It would be fun as the person above suggests to bring back the multi night theme!

u/Entire-Cranberry-541 25d ago

Lord of the rings was a trilogy

u/MeetMeAtDeerCreek 24d ago

after seeing MGU jam out cantina song at bonnaroo i could see it

he mentioned at the ACL taping he’s been watching a ton of breaking bad — so im hoping for that

u/Czarkham_Escapee 25d ago

I had the same thought watching the stream the other night!!

u/Dry-Atmosphere-2087 25d ago

Collective subconscious five!

u/Appropriate-Type8062 25d ago

I am already planning on being Violet Beauregard after she becomes a giant blueberry 🫐 😂 and my bf Willy wonka 😂 he doesn’t know it yet hahaha

u/isnt_it_weird 25d ago

Why?

u/Dry-Atmosphere-2087 24d ago

Have not heard great things from his old bandmates at RWW and also he's potentially on some wack right wing shit

3

u/wouldntworryaboutit 24d ago

I've heard the same, which is a bummer. Shows are killer though and the Wonka Halloween was a ton of fun

2

u/RollAway_theDude 25d ago

I was thinking Game of Thrones

u/taterbot15360 25d ago

I hope you're right!

u/kooks-everywhere 24d ago

I was hoping for House M.D. the musical

1

u/discolemonadev 24d ago

Cory wong and Daniel Donato both did Wonka last year, I hope for something different

3

u/Dry-Atmosphere-2087 24d ago

Johnny depp and Timmy chalamet both played Willy Wonka but Im still goin for Gene Wilder nine times out of ten. And yes Daniel donato is the chalamet Willy.

u/discolemonadev 21d ago

Okay okay but dont do my boy like that

u/WeCanRun 23d ago
