Walkin' In The Sun |
NICK |
What the hell are musicals? |
NOSTRADAMUS |
It appears to be a play where the dialogue stops, and the plot is conveyed |
through song! |
NICK |
Through song? |
NOSTRADAMUS |
Yes! |
NICK |
Wait wait — so an actor is saying his lines and then, out of nowhere, |
he just starts… singing? |
NOSTRADAMUS |
Yes! |
NICK |
Well that is the… |
(sung) |
Stupidest thing that I have ever heard |
You’re doing a play, got something to say |
So you sing it? |
It’s absurd! |
Who on earth is going to sit there |
While an actor breaks into song? |
What possible thought could the audience think |
Other than, «this is horribly wrong?» |
NOSTRADAMUS |
Remarkably, they won’t think that. |
NICK |
Seriously? |
Why not? |
NOSTRADAMUS |
Because… |
(sung) |
It’s |
Musical |
A musical |
And nothing’s as amazing as |
A musical |
With song and dance, and sweet romance |
And happy endings happening by happenstance |
Bright lights, stage fights |
And a dazzling You wanna be great? |
Then you gotta create |
A musical |
NICK |
I don’t know, I find it hard to believe people would actually pay to see |
something like this |
NOSTRADAMUS |
Let’s just say it’s a Saturday night, and you want to go out on the town |
Got a lady to flatter who might «give it up"if you don’t let her down |
You could go see a tragedy, but that wouldn’t be very fun |
Or a play from Greek mythology — see a Mother have sex with her son! |
NICK |
Eeuwwrrgh! |
NOSTRADAMUS |
You could go see a drama, with all of that trauma and pain |
Or go see something more relaxing and less taxing on the brain |
Go |
See |
Musical |
A musical |
A poppy piece releasing all |
Your blue-sicals |
Where crooners croon (Ahhhh) a catchy tune |
And limber little ladies thrill ya 'til ya swoon |
Oohs, aahs, big applause |
And a standing ovation |
NOSTRADAMUS & The future is bright if you could just write |
A musical |
NOSTRADAMUS |
Some make you happy |
Some make you sad |
Some are quite big |
Some quite small |
Some are too long |
Some are just plays with song (Ahhh) |
Some musicals have |
No talking at all |
NICK |
No talking at all? |
NOSTRADAMUS (sung) |
That’s right, there’s no talking |
All of the dialogue is sung |
In a very dramatic fashion |
NICK |
Umm, really? |
NOSTRADAMUS (sung) |
Yes, really |
NICK |
There’s no talk- |
NOSTRADAMUS (sung, interrupting NICK) |
There’s no talking |
And they often stay on one note for a very long time |
So that when they change to a different note |
You notice |
And it’s supposed to create a dramatic effect |
But mostly you just sit there asking yourself, |
«Why aren’t they talking?» |
NICK |
Sounds miserable |
NOSTRADAMUS (sung) |
I believe it’s pronounced |
'Misérables' |
NICK |
And people actually like this? |
NOSTRADAMUS |
No — they LOVE it! |
And what’s not to love! |
(sung) |
It’s such a delight |
There’s nothing quite like |
A musical |
(spoken) |
Oo! |
Another vision! |
I haven’t even told you the best part yet! |
(sung) |
Feel that fascinating rhythm moving to your feet |
NICK |
Uh, what is that? |
NOSTRADAMUS |
Feel your ass gyrating to that titillating beat |
NICK |
Woah — are you okay? |
NOSTRADAMUS |
You slap your lap |
Then finger-snap |
That’s when you know |
It’s time to TAP! |
Ooohhhhh! |
NICK |
What the hell are you doing now? |
NOSTRADAMUS |
It’s called a dance break! |
Apparently this happens in musicals as well! |
People on stage just burst into spontaneous dance! |
NICK |
Why? |
Does it advance the plot? |
NOSTRADAMUS |
No! |
NICK |
Advance character? |
NOSTRADAMUS |
Not necessarily |
NICK |
Then why do it? |
NOSTRADAMUS |
Because — it’s entertaining! |
Five! |
Six! |
Seven! |
Eight! |
(dance break) |
NOSTRADAMUS |
Another vision! |
It’s a musical |
Whaddaya-talk whaddaya-talk |
It’s a musical |
A Seussical? |
No a musical |
With girls on stage |
A musical |
NOSTRADAMUS |
We’ve got sappy repartee |
And the women are risqué |
And the boys are kind-of gay |
A musical |
NOSTRADAMUS |
A true blue new |
NOSTRADAMUS & Musical |
NOSTRADAMUS |
Stand back! |
It’s a musical |
Some musicals are very serious |
A big glittering |
NOSTRADAMUS & Musical |
A musical |
(in the style of Annie) |
It’s a musical for us |
NOSTRADAMUS |
A big and shiny |
Mighty fine-y |
Glitter, glitz and line-y |
Bob your head and shake your hiney |
Musical |
It’s a musical (it's a musical) |
It is a musical (it's a musical) |
NICK |
YES! |
I get it now! |
(sung) |
We’ll do a musical |
NOSTRADAMUS |
No kidding! |
NICK |
A musical |
What could be more amazing than |
A musical |
With song and dance, and sweet romance |
And with a musical we might have half a chance |
BOTH |
Oohs, aahs, big applause |
With everyone cheering for us |
NOSTRADAMUS |
And for some unexplainable reason |
The crowd goes wild every time |
When dancers kick in unison |
In one big won-der-ful line |
ALL |
And then you got yourself |
A musical |
A musical |
A la-la-la-la-la-la-la-paloozical |
With splashy style |
And a big, fake smile |
A snazzy handsome, jazzy hands |
I swear that I’ll |
Cross my heart, hope to die |
If it isn’t a doozy |
NOSTRADAMUS |
Take it from me |
They’ll be flocking to see |
BOTH |
Your star-lit, won’t quit, big hit |
Musical |
ALL |
A big hit musical! |
