Buckle down because we're going to be here a while. Essentially the musical is all about the various reincarnations of four souls. So each character the four musicians play is the reincarnations of each other. Rose (Brittain) is a woman living in the 21st century who goes to a Camera Shop to replace her broken camera. She meets the camera shop owner (Gesley) who offers to tell her the story of her great-grandmother and her sister who was called Rose Red and Pearl White. Rose Red and Pearl White are the past lives of the Camera Shop owner and modern-day Rose. The Camera Shop owner tells the story of how Rose Red and Pearl White were both in love with the Astronomer (Dave) but after stealing Rose Red's poems, the Astronomer chooses Pearl White over her sister. To get revenge on her sister and lover, she visits a Bear (Brent) who agrees to help her get revenge in exchange for one pot of honey, one piece of stardust, one secret baptism, and a photo of a ghost. Rose Red travels through time, where she requires each of the different items from the different reincarnations of herself, Pearl White, the Astronomer, and the Bear. In total, there are 6 different timelines, the Two Sisters timeline about Rose Red and Pearl White that I have just explained, the Solider and Rose timeline, the House of Usher timeline, the Arabian Nights timeline, and the Subway timeline which is the same timeline as the one where Rose meets the Camera Shop owner. It is ambiguous what time and place I Don't Know, Four Friends, Any Kind of Dead person, The Photograph, and the Prayer but the most common theory is that all of these songs take place in the afterlife. Each character the actors' play is the same soul as each other. For example, the Solider and Lady Usher are the same person but living a different lifetime than each other. BTW this isn't my Tumblr blog but this should help you understand stephaniejblockmotherme.tumblr.com/post/162065225148/ghost-quartet-masterpost
This sounds so cool! I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the soundtrack
I just started listening to this and I am very confused. Can someone explain the plot a little?
