Well we don’t have any idea of how the musical is supposed to work. I mean, we know the NAME is based around “The Maid of the Mountains”, but likely not the story, as that ends on a boat.
 
But if the story is based around an Earth Pony, it’d likely make more sense to use one, even if there’s a scene with a pulley-system that needs her up in the air, as opposed to, say, putting a Pegasus-pony in a costume where their wings can’t be seen, until she needs to fly.
 
Y’know, seeing as how a costume may need several fixings, over the course of many performances, but ROPE? Rope’s pretty easy to use, and tied around a mare, “one size fits all” for its intended purpose.

“Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwnn!”
 
…is the sound that comes to mind.

@Crowley  
Unless the writing dictate that she be an earth pony.

It occurs to me that they could’ve just hired a pegasus to do that bit and save on rope…

When I first saw this when scrolling down I thought she was getting lynnched Town of Salem style.

Heh. Cute.

sigh  
*cute

Wow, I guess I totally forgot this scene.  
Definitely not season 5.  
And it`s still not Applejack. Aaaw…  
Still very cutr!

Ya, I meant to say why they tagged it that:p

@TheThunderPony  
it was OP.

Dunno who tagged it that:p

@ShimmeringStallion  
It is, it even has the hub logo on it.

I thought this was from that “Manehatten” episode in Season Four.

Aw, that`s cute!  
And she looks kinda like Applejack too.  
… huh.

@Tetragrammapony  
Mayße they adhere to urf pwnee chradishuns?

It’s strange how the best contemporary musical show in a theater located in a thriving city has the actress hanged by a rope and not held with magic by off-stage unicors crew.

“Somepony get me DOOOWWWWWNNNNN!”

Love the braids and the outfit, and the extravagant expression. Good show!

Opera-jack

@Whonk  
See below, the musical’s a clear nod to “Maid of the Mountains”

I know this is a reference to something, but I don’t know what.

But… Isn’t a “Apple-Orange” Pony cousins from AppleJack?

Props to the VA that held this note.

It’s a good play, caught the live version on PBC last Hearth’s Warming. The Bridleway version is better.

“And I’ll never find that recipe aaaaggaaaiinnn! Oooohhh nnooooooo!”
