**FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS** [updated 1/5/24] (check here before asking!): Thank you all so much for the support you’ve given TAAAM, it’s been really wonderful to see both new Ace Attorney fans find this show and old AA fans rediscover the Turnabout Musical project after many years. We’re so happy to see all of you here! 1. "Is this related to the Random Encounters or Takarazuka Ace Attorney musicals?" Not at all! TAAAM is the latest iteration of the long running Ace Attorney fan project Turnabout Musical, which began on the Court-Records forum in November 2007 - long before RE existed or even before Takarazuka did its first AA musical! The original project was conceived as a traditionally-animated, six-hour musical miniseries faithfully adapting Cases 1-4 of the first Ace Attorney game, and subsequent stage adaptations have focused on condensing this original screenplay down to a manageable, performable length. TAAAM seeks to rework the original music and script specifically with the stage in mind, focusing on making the story character-driven and emphasizing the pathos of the plot without losing AA’s trademark humor and charm. 2. "This is a long-running project? Where can I find the stuff that’s been around for fifteen years?" The Turnabout Musical Linktree in the description is your best bet! You can find the social media platforms TM is currently on and the TM Production Package, as well as past productions like 2015’s Turnabout Musical Original Soundtrack by PW Musical Productions, 2016’s Turnabout Musical LIVE! by Nerdification Media, 2021’s Turnabout Musical: Live at the Phoenix Theater by Albino Squirrel Productions, and information/a GoFundMe for Turnabout Musical: The Miniseries and Turnabout Musical: Virtual Edition by Gero Productions, currently in development! 3. "Will the soundtrack be on Spotify?" Unfortunately, the Original Cast Recording will not be available for music streaming outside of UA-cam. Legal gray area with CAPCOM aside, the largely collaborative nature of the Turnabout Musical project means that there are LOTS of people who have worked on the music (as you can see by the credits), including folks that haven’t been around for nearly fifteen years. Any potential income from Spotify revenue of the songs would have to somehow be proportionally split up (however one could even decide those proportions) between dozens of people, many of whom have not been in direct contact with each other for many years. It is in the best interest of the creative flexibility of the TM project, and to avoid any legal issues with CAPCOM, to protect everything created for it as “for non-profit only”. As a result, the licensing agreement of the Turnabout Musical Production Package (under which TAAAM is produced) prohibits any performance of Turnabout Musical to be done for profit, including a for-profit soundtrack release onto a streaming platform. HOWEVER! The full show is available to listen to via Spotify Podcasts and Apple Podcasts, meaning you can still listen to the songs in the context of the whole show. In addition, you can manually import the mp3 downloads for the Original Cast Recording tracks into your personal Spotify account in order to listen to it that way. 4. "When is Act II coming out?" IT’S HERE! ua-cam.com/video/Tqr11CJuM44/v-deo.html 5. "Is anyone going to perform TAAAM live? Can I do it?" There has already been interest from several parties about performing TAAAM live, including pre-production at a theatre in northern Louisiana; we’ll share more details about any of those productions as they solidify. In addition, the script, instrumental tracks, and sheet music are now publicly available via the link in the description, and can be used for anything as long as you give credit to the original creators and do not make a profit. If you’re interested in putting together a full production under those stipulations, please let us know, and we are absolutely willing to help you out however we can! 6. "Are you gonna do Turnabout Samurai, Rise from the Ashes, Justice For All, etc., future games in the Ace Attorney series?" TAAAM is a two-act stage production, and it ends with Act II’s adaptation of Turnabout Goodbyes. However, there has always been interest in developing TM sequels based on later stories in the AA series, and concepts/songs have already been shared around the TM community relating to them, if you’re interested in contributing! As for Turnabout Samurai, the original TM project adapted it, and you can hear those Case 3 songs on the Turnabout Musical Original Soundtrack. Also, Albino Squirrel Productions produced Turnabout Samurai as a standalone stage production in August 2022, which you can watch here! ua-cam.com/video/RBIZTb3nbyI/v-deo.htmlsi=wIp3fHkicQhNcWSp Thanks again, everyone!
47:41 You still did that dumb “changing of defendants” from the original case? Can’t you just keep Maya as the main defendant and just have White name Phoenix as just an accomplice, like the original should have done? This destroys all of the tension from Maya from before by suddenly getting her out of dodge.
Why does miles' voice actor use emotions so well??? You can always hear what he is feeling when he talks which are one of the main factors to creating an amazing musical
One detail I adore: When Edgeworth objects to the judge prolonging the trial, you can tell that it’s absolutely torturing him inside to say it despite the fact he knows he’s doing the right thing.
I'm honestly not surprised he sounds the way he does. I've been following Gav's content for nearly 13 years and he was already good at voice-acting and singing back then (IIRC he was around 15 when I first heard him).
What Ace Attorney truly needed was a scene where Maya screams her raw emotion over her sister's death. There's many parts of this I love, but Like a Fey is such an emotional performance that moves me to tears every time.
Gosh I remember over a decade ago when I was in college I worked on storyboards for turnabout musical like back in the early days and like. Seeing this now I’m getting kind of emotional. I left the project a long time ago but I’m so glad to see what came out of it. Round of applause to everyone who stuck it out and made this a reality. The cast for this is super amazing too like seriously wow great job. I’m so happy I get to hear these songs again
@@dycast8561 naw that was back in the early days when the team was actually trying to fully animate it instead of use assets from the game. The storyboards may still be floating around out there somewhere though.
Extremely late reply, but I’ve been feeling nostalgic, and I’m guessing we crossed paths doing storyboards back in the early days. I think I was a bit of a bitch about it before I stopped working on it lol, but I was looking in my closet and found pencil sketches from an early draft of August Day and was like…huh. So. Cheers to those times, hey?
aaaaa my autism is doing the macarena aggressively rn. I'M THE AUTISM WIZARD CALL ME AUTISM FRED I CAST AUTISM FIREBALL YOU'RE AUTISM DEAD *dies of special interest*
Hi, 9 months old comment, I just wanted to say you really put it into words, and way this musical makes me feel. I was able to introduce it to another friend, too. It's such a good work of art. I want every ace attorney fan to watch it.
not sure if this has been pointed out before but i watched this musical for the first time this week, and just realized that the singular gunshot and splash at the end of act 1 are the real murder, whereas the 2nd act opens with the other two gunshots and a splash, yanni yogi’s attempt to frame miles. Very cool detail !!!!
@@MapleSyrup2002yup that’s correct they changed it for the purpose of this musical^^^ i’ll edit my comment as to not spoil the musical or confuse people anymore lol
HOLD IT! "Phoenix Wright: The Musical" has been updated to "Turnabout: An Ace Attorney Musical"?! I didn't think the project was still going on, that people still wanted to make an Ace Attorney Musical. This is incredible! I was a member of the first cast back when it started over a decade ago (I was cast as Dustin Prince, the bailiff, and had a few speaking lines + choir parts!) Admittedly, I was added into the cast late when some parts of the project were already done, but I was on the old forums and hoped to see the project fully completed, but unfortunately that never happened. Though I moved on from that project, I eventually learned about the stage production of it, and now this! Hearing the familiar "August Day" opening, chuckling at the cameo from the PWtM Phoenix Wright (Matthew Taranto), and seeing/hearing how the musical has been changed to better flow with pacing and emotion (like how though the Steel Samurai trial is out, "The Samurai Always Wins" is used in "Redd White Adeiu", how some characters are introduced in different roles in the 1st Act so new ones aren't needed in the 2nd). Essentially, the musical is a bit more serious in tone with some lightheartedness versus the original's mix of silly and serious. I think I prefer this newer version, it's really well done! Great work to all involved in this project, it was a joy to see and hear this!
The way Phoenix goes from if this is a dream I don't wanna wake up to wake me up from this nightmare is actually heartbreaking, like I knew exactly what was about to happen but it still hurt. Like man that's good writing right there.
This is really reminding me that Redd White REALLY should have been a better villain than he was. A blackmailing mastermind? sounds great. He could blackmail someone into doing his dirty wor-oh he killed himself...and not even that well...I-okay Anyways, it was the first canon game and perhaps they wanted an intimidating foe without making the gameplay too hard but it definitely felt like a missed opportunity
i think he did it in a spurr of the moment. Also, he probably wanted as few people as possible knowing he dun it. after all, he would'nt want someone else to have something to blackmail *him* with.
When I saw the title of this video, I expected it to be nothing but cringy. I'm glad to say I was mistaken. There's so much talent behind this, and it shows through in every second of it.
The chorus behind Mia at 1:08:46 made me tear up it was so good. Ten out of fucking ten you mad lads blew it out of the park, I will be happily awaiting Act Two.
Redd White's voice - mwa. And if we see Godot, I NEED to hear him too. Double didn't expect to see Manfred too. He's just as menacing as he was the first time.
@@Gavaroc You sure nailed the role, he sounds the way I picture him too. Been following you for around 12-13 years now and am pretty happy to see you play such a big role.
Can I just say how absolutely blown away I am by Phoenix’s voice? I see a lot of musicals like this where the protag has a lack luster voice but he is a POWER HOUSE! There’s something so magical about hearing his actor sing ✨
Holy shit, I just randomly thought about this musical project today. I remember lurking on the old forums to get updates and download the songs to my computer.... we're talking like, 15 years ago. Seeing the WHOLE MUSICAL fully done? What a treat, I'm so happy, filled with that warm fuzzy nostalgia feeling. :') You guys rock, thanks for putting all this effort into this project!!
Oh my god- the fact that the sprites are used for this makes me so happy- i was expecting actors in cosplay but- wOAH- ya'll went all out with animating lip syncing???? Man this is so lovely Edits: Maya's voice actress/singer is just- beYOND stellar. She gives such a beautiful and powerful performance in the detention center. And her acting is so thorough and authentic. Love her so much!! Oh my lord- Edgeworth and Wright are also incredibly well casted. Edgeworth has such a lovely accent- im enjoying every minute onG THAT ENDING GAVE ME LITERAL CHILLS!!! YES EDGEWORTH, YOU GO KING, YOU GIVE THAT DRAMATIC SEND-OFF OH MY GOD- 😭😭😭
Dang it, I just realized that The Samurai Always Wins was reworked for Red White Adieu. It makes me very happy admittedly, that and The Way Things Were were always my favorite Turnabout Samurai songs and manged to make it in. I haven't seen anyone mentino this, but Lotta Hart's voice is perfect in this, her actress did a fantastic job. There's so many good edits in this. I'll avoid any spoilers for part 2 when discussing why a lot of these flowed so well, but the overall tone change worked much better than expected. It's especially impressive how trimmed down the trial is, and the merging of several minor characters and expansion of other roles means only one new character is in all of the second act. Who, could probably also be played by Grossberg's actor in a case of doubling... Redd White in particular feels more intimidating here with how openly we see him actually flaunt his power, and how the echoes over act II. And in inverse, MVK's shadow is now felt more strongly over Act I as well. Anyways, I think this was a fantastic revision of the musical (though I'll still rewatch the 2017 performance too), in terms of both accessibility and cohesive narrative.
It's already been over a year and I didn't even realize because this project always feels so fresh in my mind when I think about it. I can only reiterate how beautiful I find this
Oh to be called buttercup by Mia Fey Anyway Ace Attorney is my biggest hyperfixation and it's been this way for three years now, and also I'm a hardcore theatre kid, so this is SUCH A GIFT FJCJGXDHJGUJF
Everyone else in the comments has already sung so much praise for the voices/characters/extra development, so I’ll keep my love for all that brief and just say: everything about this was great, thanks for all the dedication to this project! The thing that really got me the most about this though (which might be a little odd) is the slight changes to the legal procedures compared to the game. I’ve never really had any problems with the game’s legal shenanigans cause I’m no lawyer and can suspend my disbelief for a game, but there was something just so satisfying about having the attorneys be notified of evidence before the trial, the character standing with Phoenix being referred to as the co-council, having Phoenix officially onboard Maya, etc. I was especially in awe of Edgeworth going to the detention center to discuss a plea-deal with Phoenix and the way he went about it as the “demon prosecutor” he is, and it made me think about how something equivalent to that probably must of happened off screen in game, even if Edgeworth wasn’t the one doing it himself. There’s just all these great little details that really build the world around them. I’m a long time Ace Attorney fan and I’ve actually watched Turnabout Musical Live! on UA-cam several years ago, and while I don’t too much about it anymore I do remember have fun watching it, so I’m glad that you guys are still working on this! It was a great watch!
not me lowkey almost bursting into tears at the first few minutes of this. I've had a rough few weeks and this shines a little light where it is desperately needed at the moment. Thank you.
eurgediehfhj I love this musical so much it's SO good both story-wise and musically you have no idea how much I come back to this (and act II ofc. Act II is my fucking favorite it's SO good and I love how TAAAM portrayed Edgeworth's moral conflict with both Decree of The Prosecutor [which is my second favorite song in the whole musical!] and in the entirety of the second act) That aside, I don't think anyone's talked about the line in 4:25? Maybe I'm reaching but is Grossberg talking about the case with Dahlia?
god, y'all did a really fantastic job! "fight like a fey" and "i'll be there" in particular really get to me. completely reopened all my emotions about maya's situation being forced to deal with loss and becoming the sole family heir, AND my love for nick and maya's friendship dynamic
Roof, if yo reading this, I want you to know that this’ll probably be amazing and I congratulate you + associates on the video. On a different note, I will find which roof you are dwelling on, Roof. I will track you down until I find THE roof and burn the house down.
Ok but I'm straight up tearing up at Edgeworth's voice like omg its perfection 😭😭💖💖💖 like everyone did an OUTSTANDING job but anytime i hear Edgeworth's VA it's just straight up shivers man.. what a performance 👏🏼👏🏼💖
oh look its my new fixation for the next three months also might i just add how incredible maya's performance is? like her voice is just *mwah* chefs kiss
Another thing I love about this- the songs are not only REALLY GOOD, but well sung. Everyone annunciates, you can hear all the consonants and everything!
Personal highlight: Ren, Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeen, you KILLED Justice For All, oh my god the RAW EMOTION, THE VOICE CRACKS, THE BREATHING, that TORE my heart apart! You did so good! See you guys in Act Two! ;D
Just found this musical today, and I'm really sad I didn't get to follow the production process, because it's absolutely amazing! Because of this, while I was watching, I have compiled a list of the things I loved about this in chronological order (I apologise for the length): - The voice acting! Seriously, it's all so good- the casting is perfect, and the singing is incredible! - References to later games, love to see it - Fight Like a Fey made me cry, thanks - April May isn't a character thank god - I love how other characters have more relevance, like Lotta, Maggey, and Lana! - Editing is absolutely brilliant - Every important detail is still in the script, but it's changed to be short enough for a musical - Redd White and You is such a good song - Phoenix and Edgeworth interactions are absolute gold - The voice acting in What Have I Done? personally broke into my house and killed me - 'Mr. Edgelord' - Redd White Adieu is SO good - 'It's the life I must-' 'NO!' now I'm sure if I were smarter I'd make a more coherent point about that but currently my brain is just screaming - Mia and Phoenix just calmly listing names gives me chills - Nice to see the 'unnecessary feelings' line was kept - Maya being entirely unqualified for her job we love to see it - What Have I Done? killed me, then Decree of the Prosecutor revived me and killed me again - And screw Von Karma, next scene - 'How can we know for sure that anyone is innocent?' says the man haunted by his father's death Overall, this in incredible, and I genuinely felt as if I was watching an actual stage production while watching this video! All this hard work put into this definitely paid off, good job everyone!
Now I'm not saying there's a community full of very touched cast and crew currently melting about this comment, but I'm also not *not* saying that ~Light Spoilers for Turnabout Goodbyes below~ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (Yes I'm snitching, what are you gonna do guys, frame me for murder in the second act?)
Seconding all of this! I didn't play the games until this year (what's up showing up to the fandom 20 years too late with Starbucks) but I loved seeing references to the whole trilogy and using the game sprites to makeup the ensemble, very genius editing move! And the lyrics, masterful wordplay!! And the ACTING! Everyone was phenomenal I actually teared up a little from how happy the existence of this project makes me, what an incredible fandom to be part of. Excellent work all around.
How? How is this fan play still in development, and getting better and better? I thought the live production was the end of it, and here I find it's still improving over time? Adding in Fight like a Fey? The chaos of Samurai Always Wins actually being used for the Sisters Trial? Even little things like the kids playing rock paper scissors at the beginning now being Edgeworth lecturing Payne? Great. just fantastic. The minor changes in lyrics are both welcome improvements and infuriating when I know most of these songs by heart now and have to fumble when something different comes up. I am way too emotionally invested in this, damn it.
Stumbles into the comments section days late with the Frappuccino I got during the dance break to say I’m so proud of everyone and so so so excited for Act II. Love y’all a lot(ta)❤
What in the WORLD?! How am I only just finding out about this existing now??? This was such an insanely incredible treat for me to randomly find and I canNOT believe it hasn’t come across my attention earlier, especially since it seems to have been in production for a while. This is seriously so stunning and I’m blown away and speechless!!!! The music and tracks and storytelling were all so perfect - and I love the dramatic irony of the story starting with edgeworth being like “lol I don’t envy you Payne, you’re gunna get chewed out by Karma” only for him to get chewed out too in the end. This is SO PERFECT!!! Idk when Act 2 is going to come out but I’m going to replay this over and over again till it does!
I have so many thoughts and so much praise for everyone involved in this amazing production, but the choice to make Edgeworth one to send the letter at the end?!? crashed my brain and it is still coming back online. Absolutely amazing work
Came from reddit post from a few days ago. Not a huge fan of musicals (not at all in fact), but I got interested due to source material. I am SO pleasantly surprised! This is great. Love the casting choices, and the way everything is written believeably in character. "Redd White and You" is an absolute banger, MASSIVE Disney Villain song vibes, and the VA did a splendiferous job giving the character a lot of personality.
I'm such a fan of ace attorney and musical and I just want to say that you made me so happy! No words can expressed how much I love this! I truly appreciate the effort you all made. I'm truly happy as a fan! Thank you for all your efforts!!! Edgeworth's VA is superb and the rest!
Turnabout Musical has existed in the fandom since I found out about Ace Attorney back in 2008. At this point it has the same status as the official movie for me. I love the new tracks and the new remixes. Can't wait for Act II.
Redd White Adieu has to be my favorite new track. I always liked that motif Phoenix sings in Samurai Always Wins, and you use it quite well (especially how it bounces between Phoenix, Maya and Mia!) Fantastic work, and I eagerly await the next act and the heaping dose of Edgeworth and Von Karma it will bring!
wait, shit, the parts with mia in case 2 are actually making my eyes water wtf lmao, it's been over a decade since i played these games i thought i was over this 😂 this is awesome! good job!!!
Wow, I remember getting really into this and listening to all the demo songs back in high school, which is... about a decade ago. It's wild how many songs I could remember and interesting to note the differences. I was a bit ??? when I saw you cut Turnabout Samurai, but you totally managed to pull off Edgeworth's character development without it!!
Oh god, how haven't I seen this before?! I didn't even know Gav has been in an Ace Attorney fan musical (and Edgeworth, no less!). He sounds like the perfect Edgeworth too... no wonder, he's been great at voice-acting, accents and singing since he was like 15.
I must be dreaming .. i learned about this project over a decade ago, and the songs have stuck with me since then. I thought this project was abandoned but im so happy to see it again!!
I’ve seen a lot of praise for this in the comments so now it’s my turn to love on this production! It only took a few days to learn all of the lyrics in this, I can’t wait for the second act. When my brother and I first played the games, I casted myself as Phoenix and let me tell you, this is exactly as I thought he’d be. They all sound just like I envisioned them. I’m so, so glad that this came out when it did. Thank you, this is incredible!

I just saw this and… god…
I realized this right before I saw this comment lol
how dare you somewhat spoil turnabout goodbyes >:(
The chorus getting louder and louder as Edgeworth gets more emotional... it conveys trying desperately to drown out one's thoughts
Why does miles' voice actor use emotions so well??? You can always hear what he is feeling when he talks which are one of the main factors to creating an amazing musical
It sounds exactly like him too-
“You won’t need to borrow bus fare from the guys in jail” is now forever engraved in my mind it is such a Gumshoe thing 😂
Nick getting payed to stay away from children is amazing as well
One detail I adore: When Edgeworth objects to the judge prolonging the trial, you can tell that it’s absolutely torturing him inside to say it despite the fact he knows he’s doing the right thing.
OMG EDGEWORTHS VOICE IS EXACTLY HOW I IMAGINED IT TO BE, EVERYTHING'S AMAZING

I KNOW RIGHT HE SOUNDS KINDA HOT TBH
SAMEEE
Maya: I don't need gratitude or a high pay
Wright: hired
Maya: just feed me 4 meals every day
Wright: fired
Comdedy gold
What Ace Attorney truly needed was a scene where Maya screams her raw emotion over her sister's death. There's many parts of this I love, but Like a Fey is such an emotional performance that moves me to tears every time.
I started tearing up at this song aaahh we feel Maya's pain
That song is perfect. It’s so moving. No fat or padding, just a scream of grief and pain
i love how the live chat just freaks out at the sight of "Fight Like a Fey"
“I’m a decent lawyer, but fatherhood’s not my forte” love that
“They paid me to keep me away” from babysitting xD
"I can't keep a level head, but I'll trust my heart instead" is my new favorite quote
It will not leave my brain. It goes so HARD
"Ask not what Redd can do for you.
Or you could wind up dead."
That's raw as hell
RIGHT it's been living in my brain
I also really like the line "Redd would take your very bones to grind into his bread" just before that. Honestly that whole song is short and sweet.
This is perfect! It includes the human emotions that the game often ignores or skips over! You see the character in everything they do!
Phoenix explaining hes a terrible babysitter and pet owner is absolute gold. This is incredible!!!
Not me crying at Diego being Mia’s inspiration 😭
Grossburg has left the chat.
OMG I just noticed the names Mia is listing is the OG cast 😭😭😭 what a nice homage
why cant you see im not a monster im just a man is such a raw line, i have no regrets staying up till 6:00 am to hear it
Never in my life have I played or watched a let's play of Ace Attorney.
I'm considering doing it just for this.
We hope you enjoy it however you do it! And we hope you like the rest of our show too ❤️ Act Two is out now!
DO IT U WILL NOT REHRET
plrse 🥺
I just got the game for my birthday and I'm having a blast
it's almost as good as the musical
Gosh I remember over a decade ago when I was in college I worked on storyboards for turnabout musical like back in the early days and like. Seeing this now I’m getting kind of emotional. I left the project a long time ago but I’m so glad to see what came out of it. Round of applause to everyone who stuck it out and made this a reality. The cast for this is super amazing too like seriously wow great job. I’m so happy I get to hear these songs again
Sammisomara! Great to see you! Thank you for the kind words about TAAAM :)
Nice profile picture love that series. And the games of this.
That’s awesome dude, any of your work make it here? Must’ve went through plenty of changes since then
@@dycast8561 naw that was back in the early days when the team was actually trying to fully animate it instead of use assets from the game. The storyboards may still be floating around out there somewhere though.
Extremely late reply, but I’ve been feeling nostalgic, and I’m guessing we crossed paths doing storyboards back in the early days. I think I was a bit of a bitch about it before I stopped working on it lol, but I was looking in my closet and found pencil sketches from an early draft of August Day and was like…huh. So. Cheers to those times, hey?
the insane whiplash that is phoenixes "HERE I AMM!!!!" to mia DEAD ON THE FLOOR has me rolling its so well executed. its halarious and incredibly sad
"What do you mean you gonna watch it again?"
I mean that I'm going to watch it again
“Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.”

Absolute gold and I’m not even 5 minutes in

*dies of special interest*
Hi, 9 months old comment, I just wanted to say you really put it into words, and way this musical makes me feel. I was able to introduce it to another friend, too. It's such a good work of art. I want every ace attorney fan to watch it.
@@FlareontoastGoing goblin mode rn
not sure if this has been pointed out before but i watched this musical for the first time this week, and just realized that the singular gunshot and splash at the end of act 1 are the real murder, whereas the 2nd act opens with the other two gunshots and a splash, yanni yogi’s attempt to frame miles. Very cool detail !!!!
😎
Wait Grossberg’s murder? :0
I’ve only played the first game so far and he’s alive by the end of it😭
@@MapleSyrup2002yup that’s correct they changed it for the purpose of this musical^^^ i’ll edit my comment as to not spoil the musical or confuse people anymore lol
Maya: *singing*
The officer: .-.
Got a full on snort out of me with the 'don't need a high pay! YOU'RE HIRED! four meals! YOU'RE FIRED!'
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy DD!
@@Gavaroc Your singing was amazing as always!
THEY HAVE THE AUTOPSY THING BEFORE THE TRIAL SO EDGEWORTH DOESN'T SCREW AROUND WITH EVIDENCE LAW!!!!! HECK YES
VON KARMA'S MOTIF CAME IN WHEN EDGEWORTH WAS REPORTING PAYNE FJAGGEJF CNALANSB
HOLD IT! "Phoenix Wright: The Musical" has been updated to "Turnabout: An Ace Attorney Musical"?! I didn't think the project was still going on, that people still wanted to make an Ace Attorney Musical. This is incredible!
I was a member of the first cast back when it started over a decade ago (I was cast as Dustin Prince, the bailiff, and had a few speaking lines + choir parts!) Admittedly, I was added into the cast late when some parts of the project were already done, but I was on the old forums and hoped to see the project fully completed, but unfortunately that never happened. Though I moved on from that project, I eventually learned about the stage production of it, and now this!
Hearing the familiar "August Day" opening, chuckling at the cameo from the PWtM Phoenix Wright (Matthew Taranto), and seeing/hearing how the musical has been changed to better flow with pacing and emotion (like how though the Steel Samurai trial is out, "The Samurai Always Wins" is used in "Redd White Adeiu", how some characters are introduced in different roles in the 1st Act so new ones aren't needed in the 2nd). Essentially, the musical is a bit more serious in tone with some lightheartedness versus the original's mix of silly and serious. I think I prefer this newer version, it's really well done!
Great work to all involved in this project, it was a joy to see and hear this!
So awesome to see you again, SirEnobMort! We’d love to have you in the TM Discord server (link in the description) if you’d like to join!
"The way they bang and point and shout makes for a darn good show!"
Sure does, otherwise, we wouldn't have this or the official AA plays!
Maya's Detention Center Ballad almost broke me. Who am I kidding, it did broke me.
This is incredibly work, I'm blown away.
GODS some of these voices are godly. Mia and Edgey are excellent
Why does Redd White blackmailing the CAST of the musical fit perfectly for his character?
i love how this makes redd white such a much more compelling villain
The way Phoenix goes from if this is a dream I don't wanna wake up to wake me up from this nightmare is actually heartbreaking, like I knew exactly what was about to happen but it still hurt. Like man that's good writing right there.
“Your hired”… “your fired”
This is really reminding me that Redd White REALLY should have been a better villain than he was. A blackmailing mastermind? sounds great. He could blackmail someone into doing his dirty wor-oh he killed himself...and not even that well...I-okay
Anyways, it was the first canon game and perhaps they wanted an intimidating foe without making the gameplay too hard but it definitely felt like a missed opportunity
i think he did it in a spurr of the moment. Also, he probably wanted as few people as possible knowing he dun it. after all, he would'nt want someone else to have something to blackmail *him* with.
@hat5643 IIRC he was here to try and get the dossier. when he failed to find it on his own or intimidate her into handing it to him, he murdered her.
Y'all did a better job of making me care about Maya in ten minutes than the whole first two games were able to. Fantastic.
When I saw the title of this video, I expected it to be nothing but cringy. I'm glad to say I was mistaken. There's so much talent behind this, and it shows through in every second of it.
There have now been at least six Ace Attorney musicals- maybe more depending on how you count them.
The chorus behind Mia at 1:08:46 made me tear up it was so good. Ten out of fucking ten you mad lads blew it out of the park, I will be happily awaiting Act Two.
1:08:55 the voice actor for mia really hot that note
Redd White's voice - mwa. And if we see Godot, I NEED to hear him too.
Double didn't expect to see Manfred too. He's just as menacing as he was the first time.
im legit tearing up when it went from keep me in this dream to wake me up from this nightmare bro...
EDGEWORTHS VOICE IS PERFECT ITS EXACTLY HOW HE SOUNDS IN MY HEAD !!!
Yeah, he sounds that way in my head too /j
@@Gavaroc You sure nailed the role, he sounds the way I picture him too. Been following you for around 12-13 years now and am pretty happy to see you play such a big role.
@@Gavaroc ....slightly British sounding despite more geared to Germany? (correct me if im wrong)
Can I just say how absolutely blown away I am by Phoenix’s voice? I see a lot of musicals like this where the protag has a lack luster voice but he is a POWER HOUSE! There’s something so magical about hearing his actor sing ✨
I must say Nice use of the sprites for when Von Karma slaps Edgeworth
“what have i done” was so good. HOLY-
Holy shit, I just randomly thought about this musical project today. I remember lurking on the old forums to get updates and download the songs to my computer.... we're talking like, 15 years ago. Seeing the WHOLE MUSICAL fully done? What a treat, I'm so happy, filled with that warm fuzzy nostalgia feeling. :') You guys rock, thanks for putting all this effort into this project!!
Oh my god- the fact that the sprites are used for this makes me so happy- i was expecting actors in cosplay but- wOAH- ya'll went all out with animating lip syncing???? Man this is so lovely
Edits: Maya's voice actress/singer is just- beYOND stellar. She gives such a beautiful and powerful performance in the detention center. And her acting is so thorough and authentic. Love her so much!!
Oh my lord- Edgeworth and Wright are also incredibly well casted. Edgeworth has such a lovely accent- im enjoying every minute onG
THAT ENDING GAVE ME LITERAL CHILLS!!! YES EDGEWORTH, YOU GO KING, YOU GIVE THAT DRAMATIC SEND-OFF OH MY GOD- 😭😭😭
Dang it, I just realized that The Samurai Always Wins was reworked for Red White Adieu. It makes me very happy admittedly, that and The Way Things Were were always my favorite Turnabout Samurai songs and manged to make it in.
I haven't seen anyone mentino this, but Lotta Hart's voice is perfect in this, her actress did a fantastic job.
There's so many good edits in this. I'll avoid any spoilers for part 2 when discussing why a lot of these flowed so well, but the overall tone change worked much better than expected. It's especially impressive how trimmed down the trial is, and the merging of several minor characters and expansion of other roles means only one new character is in all of the second act. Who, could probably also be played by Grossberg's actor in a case of doubling...
Redd White in particular feels more intimidating here with how openly we see him actually flaunt his power, and how the echoes over act II. And in inverse, MVK's shadow is now felt more strongly over Act I as well.
Anyways, I think this was a fantastic revision of the musical (though I'll still rewatch the 2017 performance too), in terms of both accessibility and cohesive narrative.
It's already been over a year and I didn't even realize because this project always feels so fresh in my mind when I think about it. I can only reiterate how beautiful I find this
57:12 Points for clarity and conciseness.
Maya and pheonix singing was so good i started tearing up
Edit: MAYAS VA'S IS SO GOOD???? IM CRYING
Oh to be called buttercup by Mia Fey
Anyway
Ace Attorney is my biggest hyperfixation and it's been this way for three years now, and also I'm a hardcore theatre kid, so this is SUCH A GIFT FJCJGXDHJGUJF
Anytime buttercup! Glad you enjoyed the show!! 💜
Everyone else in the comments has already sung so much praise for the voices/characters/extra development, so I’ll keep my love for all that brief and just say: everything about this was great, thanks for all the dedication to this project! The thing that really got me the most about this though (which might be a little odd) is the slight changes to the legal procedures compared to the game. I’ve never really had any problems with the game’s legal shenanigans cause I’m no lawyer and can suspend my disbelief for a game, but there was something just so satisfying about having the attorneys be notified of evidence before the trial, the character standing with Phoenix being referred to as the co-council, having Phoenix officially onboard Maya, etc. I was especially in awe of Edgeworth going to the detention center to discuss a plea-deal with Phoenix and the way he went about it as the “demon prosecutor” he is, and it made me think about how something equivalent to that probably must of happened off screen in game, even if Edgeworth wasn’t the one doing it himself. There’s just all these great little details that really build the world around them.
I’m a long time Ace Attorney fan and I’ve actually watched Turnabout Musical Live! on UA-cam several years ago, and while I don’t too much about it anymore I do remember have fun watching it, so I’m glad that you guys are still working on this! It was a great watch!
As awesome as "The Objection Song" is, I just have to put it out there that "Interlude - Keeping the Peace" is my favorite
1:10:02 "and you're Edgeworth"
HA!
Always Watching Phoenix…Always 👁️👄👁️
"Edgelord" 😭😭😭🤣🤣
not me lowkey almost bursting into tears at the first few minutes of this. I've had a rough few weeks and this shines a little light where it is desperately needed at the moment. Thank you.
❤️
HOLY SHIT Maya‘s voice!! I‘m only about a third the way through and I‘m blown away holy fuck
When Payne started singing i laughed so hard that i started to choke on air
Loving the video, but Gumshoe clapping absolutely sent me
eurgediehfhj I love this musical so much it's SO good both story-wise and musically you have no idea how much I come back to this (and act II ofc. Act II is my fucking favorite it's SO good and I love how TAAAM portrayed Edgeworth's moral conflict with both Decree of The Prosecutor [which is my second favorite song in the whole musical!] and in the entirety of the second act)
That aside, I don't think anyone's talked about the line in 4:25? Maybe I'm reaching but is Grossberg talking about the case with Dahlia?
god, y'all did a really fantastic job!
"fight like a fey" and "i'll be there" in particular really get to me. completely reopened all my emotions about maya's situation being forced to deal with loss and becoming the sole family heir, AND my love for nick and maya's friendship dynamic
Roof, if yo reading this, I want you to know that this’ll probably be amazing and I congratulate you + associates on the video.
On a different note, I will find which roof you are dwelling on, Roof. I will track you down until I find THE roof and burn the house down.
Lmao I dwell in all roofs! I am unknowable!!!
Also thanks!
Me, four minutes in: “wait, you lipsynced it? You crazy bastards…”
Ok but I'm straight up tearing up at Edgeworth's voice like omg its perfection 😭😭💖💖💖 like everyone did an OUTSTANDING job but anytime i hear Edgeworth's VA it's just straight up shivers man.. what a performance 👏🏼👏🏼💖
oh look its my new fixation for the next three months
also might i just add how incredible maya's performance is? like her voice is just *mwah* chefs kiss
Another thing I love about this- the songs are not only REALLY GOOD, but well sung. Everyone annunciates, you can hear all the consonants and everything!
When hyperfixating nerds work together, magic happens.
This moment, all this passion and work... it means so much. Everyone... thank you.
Personal highlight: Ren, Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeen, you KILLED Justice For All, oh my god the RAW EMOTION, THE VOICE CRACKS, THE BREATHING, that TORE my heart apart! You did so good!
See you guys in Act Two! ;D
And thank you for your great work with Maggey! Can’t wait to hear you more in Act Two ❤️
Just found this musical today, and I'm really sad I didn't get to follow the production process, because it's absolutely amazing! Because of this, while I was watching, I have compiled a list of the things I loved about this in chronological order (I apologise for the length):
- The voice acting! Seriously, it's all so good- the casting is perfect, and the singing is incredible!
- References to later games, love to see it
- Fight Like a Fey made me cry, thanks
- April May isn't a character thank god
- I love how other characters have more relevance, like Lotta, Maggey, and Lana!
- Editing is absolutely brilliant
- Every important detail is still in the script, but it's changed to be short enough for a musical
- Redd White and You is such a good song
- Phoenix and Edgeworth interactions are absolute gold
- The voice acting in What Have I Done? personally broke into my house and killed me
- 'Mr. Edgelord'
- Redd White Adieu is SO good
- 'It's the life I must-' 'NO!' now I'm sure if I were smarter I'd make a more coherent point about that but currently my brain is just screaming
- Mia and Phoenix just calmly listing names gives me chills
- Nice to see the 'unnecessary feelings' line was kept
- Maya being entirely unqualified for her job we love to see it
- What Have I Done? killed me, then Decree of the Prosecutor revived me and killed me again
- And screw Von Karma, next scene
- 'How can we know for sure that anyone is innocent?' says the man haunted by his father's death
Overall, this in incredible, and I genuinely felt as if I was watching an actual stage production while watching this video! All this hard work put into this definitely paid off, good job everyone!
Thank you!!! ❤❤❤
Now I'm not saying there's a community full of very touched cast and crew currently melting about this comment, but I'm also not *not* saying that

(Yes I'm snitching, what are you gonna do guys, frame me for murder in the second act?)
@@Gavaroc Aaaa, I'm very glad you all like it!
Seconding all of this! I didn't play the games until this year (what's up showing up to the fandom 20 years too late with Starbucks) but I loved seeing references to the whole trilogy and using the game sprites to makeup the ensemble, very genius editing move! And the lyrics, masterful wordplay!! And the ACTING! Everyone was phenomenal I actually teared up a little from how happy the existence of this project makes me, what an incredible fandom to be part of. Excellent work all around.
How? How is this fan play still in development, and getting better and better? I thought the live production was the end of it, and here I find it's still improving over time? Adding in Fight like a Fey? The chaos of Samurai Always Wins actually being used for the Sisters Trial? Even little things like the kids playing rock paper scissors at the beginning now being Edgeworth lecturing Payne? Great. just fantastic. The minor changes in lyrics are both welcome improvements and infuriating when I know most of these songs by heart now and have to fumble when something different comes up. I am way too emotionally invested in this, damn it.
Stumbles into the comments section days late with the Frappuccino I got during the dance break to say I’m so proud of everyone and so so so excited for Act II. Love y’all a lot(ta)❤
Can’t wait to hear much more of you as Lotta in Act Two!!!
What in the WORLD?! How am I only just finding out about this existing now??? This was such an insanely incredible treat for me to randomly find and I canNOT believe it hasn’t come across my attention earlier, especially since it seems to have been in production for a while.
This is seriously so stunning and I’m blown away and speechless!!!! The music and tracks and storytelling were all so perfect - and I love the dramatic irony of the story starting with edgeworth being like “lol I don’t envy you Payne, you’re gunna get chewed out by Karma” only for him to get chewed out too in the end.
This is SO PERFECT!!! Idk when Act 2 is going to come out but I’m going to replay this over and over again till it does!
I have so many thoughts and so much praise for everyone involved in this amazing production, but the choice to make Edgeworth one to send the letter at the end?!? crashed my brain and it is still coming back online. Absolutely amazing work
OMG it's happening ! Everyone stays calm. Order in the courtroom!
*Destroys desk with gavel*
REDD WHITE MAKES THE RULLLLLLLLLESSSS
Redd White throws the dice!
NO NO HE DOESNT HE SUCKS😂
@@patrickramseyart Redd white has the personage that makes everyone look twice!
Lol edgeworth's dramatic ass would totally break out into song any chance he'd get
Came from reddit post from a few days ago. Not a huge fan of musicals (not at all in fact), but I got interested due to source material.
I am SO pleasantly surprised! This is great. Love the casting choices, and the way everything is written believeably in character.
"Redd White and You" is an absolute banger, MASSIVE Disney Villain song vibes, and the VA did a splendiferous job giving the character a lot of personality.
Congrats on the act 1 release everyone!!!! This cast and crew is immensely talented and deserves all the praise for making this happen
mia has a super cool va- like the singing is so pretty
I'm such a fan of ace attorney and musical and I just want to say that you made me so happy! No words can expressed how much I love this! I truly appreciate the effort you all made. I'm truly happy as a fan! Thank you for all your efforts!!! Edgeworth's VA is superb and the rest!
You’re welcome! Act Two is out now if you haven’t gotten to watch that yet!
Turnabout Musical has existed in the fandom since I found out about Ace Attorney back in 2008. At this point it has the same status as the official movie for me. I love the new tracks and the new remixes. Can't wait for Act II.
Redd White Adieu has to be my favorite new track. I always liked that motif Phoenix sings in Samurai Always Wins, and you use it quite well (especially how it bounces between Phoenix, Maya and Mia!) Fantastic work, and I eagerly await the next act and the heaping dose of Edgeworth and Von Karma it will bring!
I'm very happy content like this is still being made till this day
wait, shit, the parts with mia in case 2 are actually making my eyes water wtf lmao, it's been over a decade since i played these games i thought i was over this 😂
this is awesome! good job!!!
Wow, I remember getting really into this and listening to all the demo songs back in high school, which is... about a decade ago. It's wild how many songs I could remember and interesting to note the differences. I was a bit ??? when I saw you cut Turnabout Samurai, but you totally managed to pull off Edgeworth's character development without it!!
46:52 Mia's leitmotif!
oh my god mayas VA sounds INCREDIBLE
Oh my god. This takes me back. great to see that people never stopped working on this.
“You don’t know the feelings you’ve burdened me with.”
-Edgeworth 2022
Wrightworth, anyone?
Nah, Edgeworth's totally calm and collected. Phoenix didn't affect him at all. Definitely. He's SO fine right now.
definitely
Oh god, how haven't I seen this before?! I didn't even know Gav has been in an Ace Attorney fan musical (and Edgeworth, no less!). He sounds like the perfect Edgeworth too... no wonder, he's been great at voice-acting, accents and singing since he was like 15.
I must be dreaming .. i learned about this project over a decade ago, and the songs have stuck with me since then. I thought this project was abandoned but im so happy to see it again!!
I think THIS has been the best ace attorney content we've received in years.
I’ve seen a lot of praise for this in the comments so now it’s my turn to love on this production! It only took a few days to learn all of the lyrics in this, I can’t wait for the second act.
When my brother and I first played the games, I casted myself as Phoenix and let me tell you, this is exactly as I thought he’d be. They all sound just like I envisioned them. I’m so, so glad that this came out when it did.
Thank you, this is incredible!
Act 2 is up now if you haven’t seen yet! 😊
I've gotten to the point where I can just listen to this and do a jigsaw puzzle while internally gushing over this awesome musical
This needs to be performed on stage, this is like, the peak of fanmade projects for this game
