The music of Ryan Murphy: How collaboration creates soundtracks for Pose, ThePolitican, AHS
.” And the titular character’s portrayal by musical theater sensation Ben Platt, who won a Tony for “Dear Evan Hanson,” rather than an Oscar-winning movie star like cast members Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Lange, suggests that music will play a big part.
Murphy and Woodall believe that music is integral to the pre-production process as opposed to post. “It’s entirely about the story and character,” says Woodall, who also collaborates with their full-time music supervisor, Amanda Krieg Thomas. “But before everything gets to her, Ryan and I have already put our heads [together] — that’s just how we work,” Woodall says. And that’s been her boss’ style pretty much from the beginning.
Case in point: Madonna’s “Vogue,” which inspired the entire second season of “Pose.” “I won’t say it was the most difficult [to get approved], but it took a long time,” says Woodall, who estimates that the entire process took six months. But for her, it was worth the wait. Not that they had a choice: “The whole show was predicated on that one,” she says.
That’s an understatement. “But ‘Pose’ has this optimistic and aspirational feeling — it’s about bravery and compassion and kindness,” Woodall says. “And then me getting to add my music? It makes me so excited that I get to come in and I’m like, ‘I know what they’re going to walk to in the next ball [scene].’ And even Ryan will say: ‘Don’t tell me. I want to be surprised.’ So is it’s a combination of heart and style and fashion and music.
