This story is a sequel to Cinematic Adventures: Carrie
After venturing into the dark unknown to help save a poor abused girl from a religious zealous cult, the Mane Six and Spike are back again to venture into the Multiverse. Accompanied by Countess Coloratura, down on her luck after harsh comments from musical critics who believe her time has passed by, they venture into a magical world of mystery, music, and excitement.
Finding themselves in New York City in the year 1841, they meet a laid off entrepreneur named P.T Barnum who has a genius idea to put together a spectacular show to which the likes of man had never seen. On the way they will encounter much criticism from others, but a wise man once said,
"No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else"
Oh yes, saw this movie and love it. Can't wait to see how you do this one.
Is it just me or is the conversation between Applejack and Rara involving her performance review like in Spider-Man 3?
Finally! I’ve been anticipating this one for awhile now!
Another adventure begins
Ah yes C.A. faithful, after a rather hectic and horrific adventure involving a suffering child with telekinetic abilities, we decide to take a few steps back with a more comfortable element as we bring the girls into a realm of musical-theater style proportions. But before we even get to the meat and potatoes of the story itself, it turns out there's some trouble brewing in Equestria. Apparently, Rara's latest performances while smashingly good in the eyes of her supportive fans have no generated a 'positive' reaction amongst critics. For some strange reason, every pony is assuming that Rara is washed up and that she isn't the same artist that she used to be.
And before we go any further, I can relate to how much Rara takes their words seriously when it comes to dealing with critics. I've had several friends here on FimFic who are talented writers in their own way. And yet they always feel under pressure because they do not receive the amount of followers or likes as they hope and they are always insisting on 'pleasing' everyone even though that's not really the right way to go. I won't say any names, but while I get where they are coming from the only person who should really know they are doing an amazing job with the talent they possess is themselves. If we try to be like all the greater authors that came before us, we're constantly putting ourselves under their shadows and always spending our lives compared to their measure of greatness rather than standing on their own. Although, if anyone can guess the reference Rara makes about the shoe factory thing (While not canon to her character itself) I'll be greatly impressed if someone can figure out the relation it has.
Anyways, it won't be long before we finally get into the action where our heroes will meet a man who's been challenging the critics with his contributions to showmanship even when it seems the world is stacked against his efforts to be the best he can be. While perhaps not as historically accurate as the original portrayal, we can assure you faithful viewers this should make for a rather entertaining addition to the series.

We definitely have plans as far as what we want to do with this movie. I think the fans will be pleasantly surprised.
11149493
We know fans have been 'begging' us to do this movie over and over (We won't say any names at this time). Now that we're getting around to doing this project, we are confident that what we have in store moving forward will be worth the wait.
11149497
That's right. And with another adventure comes another set of challenges for our heroes to endure. In which case, determining if one of our guest stars will reignite the confidence in herself and remind herself why she loves to sing in the first place. Not just for the fans, but for herself.
Me: "It's true! Take a look. It's in a book!"

Primarily I’m just in it for Rara. 😁

'Reading Rainbow' reference... loved that show. Especially that one intro where the kids turn into characters from the books they read. Like 'literally' being a part of the stories.
Discord: "Well, when in show biz, there's gonna be some competitions, now and then. But Ghostface's got another thing coming if he thinks I'm going to take this lying down. It's time for some Discord chaos."
Random dude: "Verosika Mayday?!"
Me: (Gives random dude a dope slap) "No stupid!"
*Chorus*
Mina: "Which reminds me..." (To me) "Hey Doc. Where are you and Rain Shine going to go on your honeymoon?"
Me: (Flustering) "Wha-What are you? Nuts? We're not...I mean, we haven't...uh..."
Mina: "What do you mean you haven't yet? You've already proposed and she accepted. What's taking you two so long?"
Me: "Well...uh...THIS isn't a conversation for children!"
Mina: "Says the manchild who ships Spike and Gabby together to compensate for the sunken Sparity ship."
Me: "At least I'M not the one who shipped Princess Luna with King Sombra together!"
Silver Shill: (To me and Mina) "Uh...I swear, you two get younger every day..."
Apple Bloom: "Kinda like how Sugar Belle's been acting, as of late. Ever noticed how big her stomach's been gettin?"
Me: "And soon, Lil'Cheese will have a playmate!"
11149517
Yeah, and I'm certain the Twilight Sparkle in the other world would've loved this It's Showtime adventure...
And so a new adventure begins for are heroes.
Future G5
Somewhere, in the distant future of Equestria, Sunny Starscout and her friends were watching a recording of Countess Coloratura's performance, via a projector.
Sunny Starscout: "Omigosh, omigosh, OMIGOSH! IT'S COUNTESS COLORATURA!!!"
Izzy Moonbow: "YAY!!! Countess Coloratura!" (Looks confused) "Uh...who's Countess Coloratura?"
Sunny Starscout: "Only one of Equestria's most amazing pop singer of all time! They say that she has the voice of a thousand angels, and when she sings, her cutie mark shines as bright as Celestia's sun!"
Me: "Bravo! Bravo! Bravissimo!"
Future G5
Zipp Storm: "Wow! Color me impress."
Pipp Petals: "Gorgeous~!"
I'll be back with more. I'm at work, right now.
This is gonna be great! I can't wait to see the dress designs I made for this story!
Love Never Dies reference!
11149540
I had the same thought once I learned about this
11149571
the terminator?
transformers the movie from the 80s
transformers live action films?
11149571
What about Robocop?
And so the adventure begins. I'm actually all a tingle to see how well they learn their latest lesson for their latest adventure.
11149611
Keep your shorts on, we haven't gotten to that point just yet. But I'm sure the designs will work just fine.
11149622
Like we weren't going to acknowledge that reference. Maybe it was not the 'best' follow-up to 'Phantom of the Opera', but it still has a few takeaways that a 'Phantom' fan like myself appreciates the effort for. With me of course, it is mostly the songs.
11149626
Okay... can we 'please' try to keep our attention on the current project please? We'll discuss robots another time.
Thank you.
11149628
Oh, we're certain they are bound to learn a lesson or two all right. But it will not be an easy phase I can say this much.
So excited for this and Rarity having a child......awesome and surprising......this is gonna be quite the show and the greatest lol
11149633
Well, we always had the plan to reveal that Rarity and Erik are having a kid together. Initially, we were planning this for another project. But we figured now would be a decent time to make this surprise official. Plus we hoped this would be a less 'dangerous' adventure to do so.
11149632
Understandable. Can't wait to see how well this turns out though. I watched the movie a month ago so now I know how the movie goes. Which makes me all more excited.
In The Words Of Pinkie Pie *gasp* OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH! Cinematic Adventures is Back!
(One small Popcorn, a goofy goober sundae, and a large root beer please!) Boy am I Hyped! Also Rara's Costume looks Gorgeous! It's a nice mashup of her old persona but still highlights her traditional true self/inner beauty. Also makes me wish to see a cover of that song in particular! Also happy to see Carrie recovering and the Discord Theather fully repaired! Let's get ready to put on a show! *Wears a Top Hat*
"Famous singer on her way out the door’" She read in shock. “’Countess Coloratura gave a meager, weak performance last night in Canterlot, leaving audiences wondering if her career has finally come to its end”- Wow this is just like what Daring Do had to deal with. What A Bunch Of Jerks! Poor Rara!
"Ever since the adventures of the ‘Phantom of the Opera’, the former opera ghost Erik had constructed a colossal opera house right in the heart of Canterlot. This was his sanctuary where he could showcase his musical mastery to the entire world. He had plans to expand his business even further by constructing a theme park, but that was a venture for another day."-Glad to see Eric is doing well in Equestria!
"Rainbow rolled her eyes and nodded her head. “Alright,” She groaned. “But you owe me later tonight, no matter how tired we get.”- Oh Come On Dash, You liked Hinny of the Hills, least you can do is tolerate this.
"After their last adventure, in which his wife nearly died, Erik decided to do something special for Rarity and they took a second honeymoon to a lovely tropical island. It was a fantastic two weeks, just the two of them spending time together. About a month of two prior to their return, Rarity begun to act strangely, feeling sudden cravings and getting emotional out of the blue. They went to the doctor to confirm their suspicions and sure enough they were informed they were expecting. Being that Rarity was only three moths along, she wasn’t really ‘showing’ all that much. But soon enough, they could not wait to meet their little darling." -Oh Wow! The Element of Genorosity is having a baby? How exciting!
“It’s blasphemy, I tell you!” Erik said angrily. “My star’s a sensational delight upon the stage. How dare these vile cretins?! Having the gall to slander her good name.”- Woah fancy langugage!
"Okay, okay! We all agree this is a problem,” Twilight agreed. “The question then becomes ‘what’ we should do about it.”“Ain’t it obvious sugar cube?” Applejack asked.
She tiled her head a few times, gesturing toward the giant screen the television was hooked up to. To say Twilight was slightly apprehensive about it was an understatement.
“I don’t know Applejack,” She answered uncertainly. “Every time we go through the television, we always bring back something bad from wherever we end up.” “Ah come on, they weren’t all ‘that’ bad!” Pinkie spoke up. “Carrie’s been fitting in with us and Rarity’s married to a misunderstood scary musical man… no offense, Erik.”- Thank you for calling sense Twilight! And I agree, Besides does the name Tubby Wubby, mean Anything? (wonder what that little cutie's been up to) You'll get use to that Eric if Eqg taught us anything. Just give it sometime.
“Ah’m tellin’ ya sugar cube if we can just find a place Rara can perform and shine like the star she truly is maybe it can help silence those doubters.”-How would doing that in another world fix anything? last i checked i don't think all of equestria has more than one television. Regardless I like your support AJ!
“You know I swear this whole scenario feels ‘familiar’ for some reason…” Pinkie pondered, scratching her head. “Now where have I heard this plot before?”-Should be! you girls are in a tv show with a formula after all. happened in The Mane Attraction!
Twilight thought over the notion for a moment before an imaginary lightbulb went off in her head. Approaching the television, she reached under the stand it sat upon and proceeded to pull out some weird device connected to the television. Soon she reapproached the group waiting anxiously.
“Celestia, Storm, and I have been working on this the past couple months,” Twilight informed. “I think it might be time to give it a test.” “Now?” Rainbow asked, raising a brow.
“What is it, Twi?” Spike asked, observing the device. “Looks like some weird robotic headgear.”
“Ooh, I love robots!” Pinkie squealed gleefully. “Especially the ones from that movie we’ll be doing in the future… oh, wait a minute! Wasn’t supposed to give that away… pretend you didn’t hear that. Heh-heh… my bad.”- No Spoilers Pinkie! regardless i had no idea you liked robots! You'd get a kick out of meeting my oc Beebop! (Ron's Gone Wrong or Mitchells possibly?) The formers a bit new but I think it would be cool to see either of these. Especially the first since it does talk about friendship!
"Well basically, we assembled this device to hook up to a pony’s subconscious and delve deep into the recesses of their minds to where their cognitive…” (So it's like a virtual reality helmet? Awesome!)
“UGH! Can we please skip the egghead talk?” Rainbow asked irritated. “And maybe explain it like we’re two years old?!” Twilight glared at her for a moment before releasing a deep sigh.
“Basically… you put it on your head, think of what you want most, and it’ll open the portal,” Twilight spoke deadpanned." (way to cemment your low intelligence Dash. Rude Much?
“If you’re venturing off on this quest, I’m coming along as well,” He said.
“Are you quite certain of that darling?” Rarity asked. “It could very well be dangerous.”
“All the more reason to accompany you,” Erik responded. “I refuse to let you venture off on your own where anything could happen to you… or our child. I swore to protect and love you for the rest of my days, and I’m going along with you one way or the other.”- No comment here, these 2 are just a wonderfull couple!
11149629
I know. I'm waiting patiently.
11149645
You don't know how to 'quote', do you?
Jeez... Poor Rara. Can't wait to see how this goes.
On a lunch break now...
Me: "And me!"
Random dude: "And me."
Discord: "AND me!"
Random dude: "Is that even a word?"
Me: "Buddy... After all these years, it's better not to question Pinkie Pie..."
11149661
I hate to imagine who're the snobs who dare to besmirch Rara's good name. It's likely some pony who holds a grudge against Rara, or some pony not easily impressed with her music and just wrote all that stuff just for the attention. Could be any type of critic.
11149656
Not really no, I fixed it tho! hows this? Better?
11149667
It's obvious 'someone' needs a lesson... *Sighs*
You copy a paragraph you intend to use for quotation purposes. Then you click the symbol that looks like a 'parentheses' between the 'Insert Embeddable Content' symbol and the 'Spoiler' symbol. Or the fastest way to do it is to hit Ctrl & Q on the keypad. Then you paste the paragraph of your choice between the Quotation symbols, then you put your response outside of it.
Please don't make it any harder.
Rarity and Erik are going to be parents?! That, I didn't see coming.
11149708
That was the idea. We knew the fans were going to be in for a surprise when we include this for the series.
I can't wait for the musical parts of this story! Will you add other songs? Good luck and good job on your stories past and present.
11149712
This is a musical feature so of course we're going to add the songs to it. If we 'were' to consider any other, Mr. Enigma would let me know during the development process.
Discord: "Yes. They're gonna need it. Especially for the chaos I have in store, tomorrow. Hehehehe."
Speaking of whom...
Ever since Carrie had moved from Chamberlain, with Derick, to Equestria, the young girl-turned-pony had been getting out of her shell more often. She often hangs out with Fluttershy and her animals, reads books with Twilight and Spike, models for dresses that Rarity made, even sewing some of her own designs. Though, Carrie was more interested in visiting Erik, the Phantom of the Opera, who too can easily relate the horrors the young girl had once gone through.
But when she's not hanging out with her friends, one of the few things Carrie enjoys doing, was listening to some new songs. At this moment, Carrie was in her guest room, at Fluttershy's cottage, listening to a song, playing in a headphone that she got from DJ-Pon-3.
Owl City – Fireflies
I(NOT DOCTOR Ph.D) happened to be walking back, when I heard the headline, and I did a spittake.
Me: "What?!"
Derpy: "WHAT?!" (Drops an anvil)
Crazy Steve: "WHAAAAAATTTT?!!!!" (Gets conked on the head by the anvil)
J. Jonah Jameson: "It is not! I resent that! Slander is spoken. In print, it's liable."
Me: (To Rara) "Saying you're not good anymore, is like saying I'M not good anymore!"
Me: "Yeah. I know how you feel Rara. At the start of my commentator career – from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone – I used to get over 12 thumbs up. Now, my ratings just aren't what they used to be. I guess it's about time I hand in my resignation and retire with Rain Shine...just as soon as I find my successor..."
Me: "That's ridiculous! Hmmmm...I smell a rat."
