 The Red Room, a velvety bay just right of the main stage, hums softly. Lights along the wall panels purr with a pulse as an ambient, neutral tune wafts from lofted speakers.
It took you eons to find The Gram Hall. The map you received among your postage several weeks ago gave no certain directions to the venue - merely vague landmarks and arrows, both of which helped nil in the dense fog. Finding the theatre herself was your first task, you were left to assume.
But like an answer to prayer, a ghastly beam of light spilled through the trees and shrubs and abandoned campsites. You were getting close. You parted the branches and stepped carefully through foliage, revealing the Gram's looming silhouette. Breath taken, your wide-eyed gaze studied her shape; the way she rose from the ground like a titanic stone feature, with licks of mist enshrouding her in mystery.
Then, her towering oak doors cracked open. Before you could brush your knuckles on the fine wood finish, a gloved hand reached into the night and pulled you inside.
You made it.
And now, you are here, waiting alongside your competition.
You pay little mind to the small-minded conversation and goings-on by the stage. No one from The Gram has arrived yet, giving you ample time to review your pamphlet. You pull the rolled scroll from your pocket, still tied shut with a silk bow.
The gloved praetorian sort at the door had advised you read and reply quickly, before promptly showing you here.
You withdraw a grease pencil from your satchel and let the parchment unfold in your hands. ✣ATTN: Luvvies, thespians & artistes of all sundry regardsThe Gram Hall invites an Audience of the Arts to fulfill the prosopopoeia as follows:The MunchausenThe Revolving DoorThe Red ShirtThe AtonerThe Reckless PacifistThe Squishy WizardThe Living AphrodisiacThe One Without VoiceThe Blind SeerThe Most Magnificent BastardThe Blithe SpiritThe Playful HackerThe Windmill CrusaderThe Killer CopThe Good CopThe Retired OutlawThe ConscienceThe Punch-Clock VillainThe FerrymanThe Impoverished PatricianThe Informed LonerThe UnfetteredThe Exhausted InsomniacThe Criminal AmnesiacThe Reverse MoleThe Living HeirloomThe Sheltered AristocratThe Unstoppable MailmanThe Glory HoundThe Deadpan SnarkerThe Steel FawnThe Broken Compass&The Woobie, Destroyer of WorldsComplete the compulsory questionnaire prior to the eve of curtain call.

Welcome to {On With The Show!}
Before the meat and potatoes of the game are posted, all potential players must fill out the questionnaire. This will allow me to tailor the script to better fit the participants and making it a more enjoyable experience (I hope!). You are free to ask any questions in this thread prior and during the game.
{On With The Show!} will operate like a standard mafia game, i.e, there will be a team of mafia trying to eliminate a team of town. The game is over when all mafia are executed, or when enough town are eliminated for mafia to have a majority.
Unlike standard mafia games--
✣ When roles are posted with descriptions, they will not be designated either 'mafia' or 'town'. ✣ The night actions inherent to the roles will also be withheld. However, you will know which town actions are sprinkled across the game. For instance, you will know if there is a doctor, a veteran, etc., when the game begins, but you will not know which role does what.
✣ You will know what night action you have when you are assigned your role at the start. ✣ There will NOT be a detective or watcher-type. Instead, you will be able to glean clues from day/night phase text. ✣ The first night will be a dating period that allows players to visit one another for information. ✣ There may be more than one non-lethal event during a day phase that can give dangerous side-effects or protections to players, based on how they perform. ✣ The game's phases will be longer than usual, with more narrative text to help facilitate discussion. This is partly an experiment, and partly because I work a lot. ✣ Not all roles mentioned in the OP will be given descriptions and make it into the game roster. Furthermore, not all roles on the roster may be assigned.
Please fill out the questionnaire if you are interested in playing, and if you have questions about the aforementioned points, ask away!
Note that there will be a formal rules, roles masterlist and resolution post added prior to start of the game. |

What you choose, particularly for the character types, has no bearing on whether you'll be town or mafia, since that is RNG. Additionally, antagonistic sounding roles does not equal mafia. While you might be assigned a villainous-sounding role for the performance, you could be the goodest of eggs.
Thus not posting which roles have which actions or alliances!

Merc I'm absolutely HOLLERING I'm so PUMPED ABOUT THIS!!! (If it's not clear I'd like to sign up bls) 2. My favorite live music performer is Panic! At the Disco; my favorite musical is probably Kinky Boots.  Edit; OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT DISNEY okay here we go-- I Adore the entirety of the score/songs of Hunchback of Notre Dame probably The Most, almost neck-and-neck with Princess And The Frog. Villain Songs are the Best and No One Will Ever Convince Me Differently, Be Prepared is a goddamn Jam And A Half, as well as Poor Unfortunate Souls. Oh oh, and I'll gently lay these two bangers at ur feet bc they're my favorite Covers Of Disney Songs, regardless of how well I liked the Originals. |

music: twenty one pilots, since that's the latest one i saw & the show was awesome, but also the cleveland orchestra does a hell of a lot of cheap/free shows so ayyyy classical music

The flavor for this game is already so good, I really appreciate you going the extra mile and actually creating the little parchment all the roles are listed on, that's such a cute and thoughtful touch!!
And for my question two:
Hamilton is my favorite musical!! And my favorite performance from it has to be Satisfied, the visuals in that are just breath taking hhh I could gush about it all day!!
Edit to add musical performers: MARINA, Billie Eilish, Florence + the Machine, Hozier and a bit too many kpop groups to name
