We will be starting the show with "Waltz in Db-major, Op. 64, No. 1" by Frédéric Chopin, (a.k.a. “Tuxedo Black”) then you are in charge of the show order and the show vibe! Take a look at the color names and titles below so you’re ready to shout one out when The Fourth Wall says “Please pick a color!”
WARM COLORS - typically high energy/high impact
Fires of Valhalla - “Ride of the Valkyries” from Die Walküre by Richard Wagner
Jack-0-Lantern Orange - Toccata and Fugue D Minor by J.S. Bach
Vaudeville Vermillion - Ticklin’ Toes by Florence Price
COOL COLORS - typically more mellow and meditative
Bronze Sculpture - "III. Gamin" from Suite for Violin and Piano by William Grant Still
Brunette Bouffant - Bulbous Bouffant by The Vestibules
Chrysalis Green - Gymnopedie No. 1 by Erik Satie
Sky Blue - The people could fly by Dr. Alice Jones
PATTERNS & PALETTES - nothing typical about this category. It’s a mix of who knows what!
Primary Pop! - Onomatopoeia by Ramón Castillo
Rainbow - Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin
Retro Vibes - 8-Track Mind, by various artists
Sharps & Flats - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
STARS! - Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa
