It's almost that time of year (okay maybe not quite but close enough), when we start to hear people's choices for next season's programs :yahoo: Post your hopes and dreams here--bonus points if they come true!!

Here are some of mine (might post more later):

Jason Brown:
SP: Tango :love: Please JB!
FS: Thais Meditation :yes: IMO, The Piano was far and away his greatest program--understated works so well for him

Hubbell/Donohue:
FD: A Chorus Line :dance3: I remember Madison mentioning something about Fosse in the K&C or something at Nationals in passing. I actually think this would be so awesome on them. Madison would make a perfect Cassie!!! If not Chorus Line, any Fosse would be great (just no Chicago, plz)

Alena Kostornaia:
FS: Daphnis et Chloe

Evgenia Medvedeva:
FS: Arrival Soundtrack :scratch: Crazy? Probably. But I LOVE this movie and its soundtrack and would love to see a program to it (has anyone ever done it? I'm pretty sure I've suggested on this forum before)

Keegan Messing:
FS: Saving Mr. Banks Soundtrack :rock: Here is one instance where I would welcome a voiceover (the opening of the movie)--I would also love to see him play Bert if he went the Mary Poppins route.

It would be great if Marin Honda skated to Cinema Paradiso, the Love Theme, or if she brought back the SP from 2017-18.

Alena Kostornaia should skate to Debussy’s Valse “La plus que lente”, and Anna Shcherbakova should definitely skate to Chopin’s Nocturne in D-flat major (op 27 no 2) or River Flows in You. Maybe Alina should skate to Romeo and Juliet to complete her warhorse set, and Zhenya skating to something dramatic? Yes please! She should keep the Tosca SP though. And Masha... Dances of the Swans from Swan Lake.

Kaori should skate to Dawn from Pride and Prejudice, it gives me “The Piano” and I love that FS.

I want something really upbeat for Boyang, kind of like the Spider-man he had in 2016-17.

For years, I have wanted Jason Brown to build a short program to California Dreamin' by the Mamas and the Papas.

He has ignored my advice, so I'm giving the program to Nathan Chen.

It's probably as good idea anyway, since Jason is using a semi-retro program for his long this year.

Gilles & Poiriers next masterpiece:
https://youtu.be/WTozVqSMk30

Jason should skate to Total Eclipse Of The Heart

I'd love to see Nathan do something retro (Tainted Love, Don't you forgot about me) genre ish

Kaori should do Rain, in your black eyes

I will be hated for saying this when this goes terribly wrong, BUT:
Tarasova & Morosov should do Piazzolla :slink:

OH and someone should skate to Time from Inception (It would need to be paired with something else, not quite sure what)

I'd love to see Alena Kostornaia skate to Clair De Lune. Also, I think Marin Honda should skate to something Astor Piazzolla. I want to see Rika or Polina skate to something dark, maybe Prelude in C-sharp minor? That could also be good for Kaetlyn Osmond if she ever decides to go back to competition.

Jason - The Shipping News soundtrack, it’s just so him (and also gorgeous)

Yuzuru – I still dream of Kats-Chernin’s Wild Swans Suite (hey, he collects swans!!!) and also a really great Japanese horror soundtrack like Kenji Kawaii’s Dark Water (Lord Murderface would be in his element :biggrin:)

Junhwan – it is patently clear we have a romantic here, so the Portugese theme from Love Actually.

Shoma – I want him to let his wicked side out, I really do... from Morricone’s Inglorious Bastards, the Rabbia E Tarantella

Mikhail Kolyada – the Assassin’s Creed game music, pleasepleasepleaseplease

I think Sui and Han needs to stop skating to classical music. It doesn't suit their style. Their outings with Tchaikovsky, Samson and Delilah, and Turandot have been Meh. They're artistic but not sure if old war horses suits their style.

Since the ice dancers have to do something from Broadway, operetta or (other) musicals in the rhythm dance, my main wish is for all other skaters to stay away from those three sources! In fact, I want the ISU to pass a rule that no singles or pairs skaters are permitted use the rhythms/sources required for the RD in any year. :devil:

Speaking of the RD, I would really love Fear/Gibson to at least consider doing the Lambeth Walk, and Papdakis/Cizeron to see what they can do with the Infernal Galop from Orfee aux enfers (yes, that does mean the can-can music).

Otherwise, I still want to see someone skate to early Malmsteen at some point. Ivett Toth maybe? Icarus' Dream Suite Opus 4 or Black Star? I'd like to see if Bradie Tennell can sustain her witchy side for the length of a free skate, with Danse Macabre. I'd love Laurine Lecavelier to skate to some Florence and the Machine - maybe Sky Full of Stars. And in general, more use of Rachel Portman film scores please (except for Chocolat, that's gone beyond cliche into painful).

And more use of TV music. It's a shame Bill's Theme hasn't been released yet, because it's gorgeous, but somebody could at least give us the Thirteenth Doctor minus the overcoat (I'd love someone to skate to The Shepherd's Boy but I don't think there's anyone who could do it justice right now). Or there's Gaeta's Lament from Battlestar Galactica. Kailani would make a lovely Mrs Peel in a pleather catsuit, she could skate to the theme from The Avengers.

Finally, if Keegan Messing could skate to Zoot Suit Riot I think the entire would would keel over and die.

Just give me something fresh. Some Billie Eilish or something that is edgy and makes us a little uncomfortable....in the good way.

I’d love to see someone take on something like Bellyache.

I’d go all in for someone daring enough to skate to Bury a Freind :bow:

They want to do Fosse because the theme for the RD next season in Broadway. I don’t think they’ll do two Broadway programs.

I want H/D to do Masquerade Waltz for their FD. I think those long limbs would lend themselves very well to the big, sweeping music.

Your suggestion for Bradie is perfect. I think if she were to go full witch and wanted to try something a bit smoother but that still works with her jagged angular style Dark Secret by Mathew Sweet (https://youtu.be/WP7GAad2T5o) from The Craft soundtrack.

As for Ice Dance I’d never heard of Lambeth Walk before and I think I’d be a great choice. For Fear & Gibson I was also thinking along those lines with my suggestion being medley’s from Oliver!, Bedknobs & Broomsticks, Mary Poppins or Singing in the Rain (especially this song: https://youtu.be/byAfC5yW_hw). They’re such a joyful team so they’re so lucky that it’s this RD theme next season, I hope they take advantage of it.

I also thought Eunsoo Lim would fit Plastic 100C by Sampha (This version is a bit slower than the original but the original isn’t on yt: https://youtu.be/kyei9tuS_M8) but it might be a bit to “current” and would require a bit of stamina.

Alina: something a bit like her exhibition this season, or something dark and twisty

Elena: I honestly just wish she skates to the programs she would've skated this season (with a more cleaned up Amy winehouse) bc I think those two would be an amazing fit for her

Alena Kosto: I would LOVE to see her skate to a musical like Moulin rouge or Burlesque or something

I'd consider the highest possible layout for ladies SP. Not music, just layout:

3A/3Lo//3Lz3F.

This layout brings the maximum potential TCS possible. Interesting if any of Juniors may do it in some near future?
