She learned from it, but I don’t think her feelings for Mat will ever really go away. She obviously made a mistake and messed up, but she’s never moved on from it. Why does Mariana still feel that pull towards Mat?ĬR: She never really had closure from the whole Mat situation. TTVJ: Throughout this production Mariana is very torn over her feelings for Mat, despite being in a seemingly happy relationship with Nick. I kind of had to jump into it, but it’s been such a huge blessing and I’m so excited to see how it all turns out. Mixing those two worlds and coming out with this whole process has been amazing to me. I’ve always been familiar with Brad Hooks, he does all Brandon’s original music, but I’ve never had the opportunity to work with him. I got the opportunity to work with Chris Downey again, who choreographs everything you see on the show. This was that experience but on steroids. TTVJ: Cierra, how does the experience in this episode compare to the one Mariana had last season with her big dance performance?Ĭierra Ramirez: It’s crazy the things that this girl gets into. Even though we knew it would be a challenge to erect this giant musical episode within our season, we went for it, and I’m so glad that we did.
When we started looking at all of our love stories–especially our teenage love stories–and all of the triangles we had created, it seemed to be a natural fit to take something I had already tried on stage here in L.A. So when it came time to start breaking Season 3B, we realized we had to come up with an idea for Brandon’s senior thesis project.
I had tried it and fell in love with the process and juxtaposing those two genres together. TTVJ: With so many Romeo and Juliet parallels on the show, was there ever any doubt as to which musical you’d tackle?īB: It’s funny because I actually did a version of Romeo & Juliet here in Los Angeles–a kind of pop, 80s music, rock opera version of the show–this time last year. That’s not to say it wasn’t hard work and really difficult work, but it was amazing to sit back and watch everyone come together and put their best foot forward. It just magically happened and felt a little kismet–like it was meant to be–because things just seemed to fall into place.
We only had a few days to rehearse every number and get our entire cast “musical ready.” Then to jump in and shoot that epic of an episode in that amount of time–we were just gunning and running–the entire crew came together so beautifully. We had to deliver 12 musical numbers, and Brad Hooks, who does all Brandon’s piano music and Brandon’s band music, came on board and day after day delivered a new song in a very short amount of time. We still only had seven days on our big musical episode, so that was a challenge in and of itself. What challenges were involved in making something of this caliber?īradley Bredeweg: We have seven days per episode to shoot, no matter what the case.
