Payne: Your Honour, it is fairly plain, so please allow me to explain that the victim, who the defendant knew was a model, and it's very true that she had a close circle of men, and that is why the victim then killed her.
Larry: No! It isn't so! Please help me Nick, before I fry!
Mia: You know he is to young to die.
Nick: I don't think I can win!
Mia: THEN TRY!
I just made this up on the spot and I think it's a bit too 'Gilbert and Sullivan'-ish. XD

Plan the plot as a musical, take out your favourite quotes out of the game and onto the paper, plan a song list, plan intermissions (in between lawsuits/chapters? lol@lawsuits), plan basic voices which are needed and post job openings in the OP.
EDIT: And that's just the beginning...

If that's just on the spot, then we really really need you for lyrics.

Re: interaction: Can't say yet.Thumbs up because interaction is awesome, but more of a "Yes, YOU." thing, I think, but really - it's a minor detail for now. The script needs to get written. I suggest all three writers of us sketch down their version of the plot, and we compare in one or two days. This project can only be as serious as we make it!

I love Phoenix Wright, I love writing, and I love musicals, and people say that writing and drama are talents of mine. I'd love to at least do a little.

Comparing writers is not efficient. You need a lead writer which will supervise everything each writer writes to perfection and synchronisation.

I think we'll compare writers at first. Once we decide who's got a better hold on what we want done, then they can become our lead writer. That sound good to you guys?

@atomic: that's cool btw - since this project will be a lot longer than a week, take your time. I'm kind of busy myself, but I will use my free time working on the plot.

But for what I can do to help get moving...hm...
If you want to have orchestrated music and not do a midi (not sure on which you were planning) I've played the clarinet for about 7 years now. I can also help with arranging music if you like. I'll also help write the script, but I can't start on that until next weekend due to a story I have to write for school as well as tech hell week being all next week.
As for singing....only if you're REALY desperate. I can help with some minimal/non singing roles though! Let me know if I can help!

I need somebody very very reliable to share arranging music with. If you think you'll be dedicated enough for this project (and perhaps have a piece to share), hell, take this ticket. The M.S. Wright welcomes you.
I'm overwhelmed by the interest in this project so far, and for now we need a draft of the script. Any writeup will be of help, even if you can only start next week.
Should this ever go very far, and even if not, everyone involved will be credited and famous. :D

Very yes. I think that getting the audience involved would just make this EVEN MORE awesome.
I haven't had much experience with musicals, but I can at least try to write something... I also have a mic, but no real software for editing anything I record.

And if this project actually gets off the ground, I'd definitely hassle my brother into singing for it, since you may be lacking for males. He's got a baritone/tenor range and much the same musical background as I do -- he can pick out harmony, and he has a strong voice. I can send you a clip of his voice as well, if you like.
I'd also welcome the chance to write some music for the show. I was thinking maybe a rhythmic-speech sort of thing for one or more cross-examination sections, with quick back and forth lines between Phoenix and the prosecuter/witness. Of course, you already have a lot of writers willing to do work, but I'm always full of suggestions anyway. My arranging skills are lacking, but I do read music and can play a little piano, and could maybe act as a suggestion phase (e.g. "add strings here," "try this part a capella," "harmony would sound good here," etc.)
A few questions about the scope of the project:
Do you want to do the whole first game? I think that might be too ambitious, and would run quite long. It might be better to pick a case (e.g. 1-4) and possibly change/add things to get the right feel. Maybe start with the end of 1-3, for example, to establish the rivalry, and include some of the bits about Phoenix and Edgeworth's childhood from earlier cases.
Also, how much would be music? Do you want a regular show with a song here and there, or more of an operetta -- mostly sung with a few spoken bits? That's really going to affect the way the show is written.
How is it going to be presented? Obviously a live performance is what many have in mind, and that would definitely be cool, but it would be unrealistically difficult to pull off, I think. If we could get some artists/spriters in on the project, maybe a flash animation could work.
Heh, sorry if I've gone overboard. This sounds really cool, and I'd love for it to actually go somewhere instead of just staying in the dreaming phase. I'll help any way I can.

I WILL have to commandeer my friends microphone. As per experience, I'm the president of my schools drama club, and I've played the lead character the last two years. [Alice from Looking Glass Land last year, and Peter Pan this year, if it matters] I'm female, and I sing alto and soprano in my choir. My range is about...Uhm... I'm not sure how long I can go, at least Ab below middle C, and I can hit the second F above middle C most any time, and occasionaly the second G. I'm in my school's Select Ensemble and All-State choir [#9 Alto in the state, actually...but I don't think I'm all THAT good...] And I can play piano, [okay-ish] and Bb clarinet, [second seat, tied with first seat, she just got it cause she already had it. XD Pretty good]
Also, I wouldn't mind helping writing but I think we need to get striaght exactly what you're writing first...I'm kind of confused... >.>
Ans as a random idea in general, I think it would be better if the entire first case was one song. I mean, the main point of the case is to introduce the game and characters to a PLAYER. If it's a musical, it could be shortened even more. That might help with the length a bit...
...But you guys sure are ambitious, that's for sure. XD

Actually, another way to go about it might be an episodic sort of thing. For example, we write a song to represent the first case, along with "stage directions." Then we record it, and we find someone to animate it. Then we work on the second case, which would probably have multiple songs and dialogue in between, record and animate it. Then the third, and so on. That would give us easier goals to work toward, and allow us to ease into longer pieces, culminating in an episode like 1-4, which would probably be a full-length musical in its own right.
Just a suggestion. The hardest part will be keeping everyone interested in and involved with the project.

But it isn't! Because of the fact that:
1) The investigation sequences of Turnabout Sisters are really short and
2)We can always abridge Turnabout Samurai to two days, by combining the two investigation and the two court days together.
That leaves a whole hour and a half for Turnabout Goodbyes, which is very possible to do.

It is true that most likely this will never reach a professional show. Capcom USA/Europe may hear of it even if we don't contact them, but PW/GS is a Japanese game in the end, and the producers have access to much more professional sources, but even more so, teams of people that aren't shattered across the world. This makes it a digital production coming the minds of fandom (as opposed to a professional show) all the more challenging - which leads me to the next point.
It's going to be ridiculously hard. Organisation alone will be - keeping track of what everybody is doing, synchronisation of what everyone is doing, availability over the course of several months... Crucial people may suddenly not be available anymore and will have to be replaced. Even if we get off the ground smoothly, it could go as far as to having to leave it unfinished. Our strong advantage is that we have the game's plot and the game's script available. It will still mean a lot of work, however.
On a more personal note, Miss Prince- thank you very much for your post. We need to be critical and realistic from the very beginning in order not to end up disappointed. Your musical background excites me a lot! As well, it's great to hear your talent spreads onto several fields. A good technique is one thing, but being able to give advice and point out room for improvement makes you the addition I've been praying for to this project.
I think that changing the story to the extent of focussing almost entirely on 1-4 would be too much. Larry is introduced in 1-1. Mia dies in 1-2, and reappears to help with other cases. Maya's on trial, etc etc etc - it would take too much of their characters away. We need the space and time to establish their personalities, I believe. We can put a lot into dialogues - making it a regular musical, song here and there, about in the style of Cole Porter's Anything Goes.
For now we need to get a draft for the script done and possibly, where songs will be placed. I will add everyone to the team list, but will call it "available instrumentalists" and so on instead, as we don't have the freedom of claiming people yet.
