The Jester was probably the most difficult role to cast for this set. My usual jester-type ponies were already in the main roles, and I couldn't think of a single character who would sing this song reminiscing about their parent and desiring to be like them (except Applejack, but then I had nothing for the dancing scenes). It all came down to which character had the clips, but the character with the most tap dancing was Tender Taps but there wasn't enough of him to work as the Jester. Discord had some tap dancing, and like I said, worked for the "Minstrel, Jester, and I" number. In turn, Tender Taps represents the flashbacks of the Jester's father (I know he's a kid, but he could've still been a jester as a child). Discord is also a guy who loves to entertain in various ways and is a bit of a prankster. So...I just worked with that.
Why are there so many filler songs in this musical?

Cast:
Jester - Discord
Jester's Dad - Tender Taps
