Musical Mania2013

Script

Before you read this script, please understand: this is just a script.

What we make of this is up to us and how we use our ideas, creativity, and effort.

Let’s develop characters and community to help each other overcome (or at least ignore) any fears we might have in order to make this not only a great show, but

an incredibly unforgettable experience.

We have close to 100 participants in MM. Please realize that you can contribute in many, many, many ways even if you don’t have a solo or lines in a piece. If you

wanted more solos or a bigger part, this still may happen. Illnesses, emergencies, and other things can open up opportunities. Often single voices are not strong

enough to fill the theater, so there are a lot of “combined solos” and small groups.

You should learn One, The Rock of Ages Medley, The Lioness Hunt, The Song of Purple Summer, and We Go Together and all the other songs that you are in.

Learning means knowing your entrance, words, melody, and being able to do this in character.

Some of you are great at singing harmonies and have been given parts where this happens. We won’t be spending a lot of time on harmony, but please include this

where you can!

There will be four “reporters” guiding us through the show (Hedvig, Emilie P, Jacob S, and Rita). They will “interview” audience members, but mostly they will ask

some of the performers about pieces to be performed –instead of having somebody announce the songs.

Some words have been changed. Go with the words in the script! If you notice any mistakes, please let Brent know.

Thank you for making this commitment, taking the leap of faith with us, and showing us such awesome talent already.

Let the learning begin!

Clara: (spoken) Ladies and Gentlemen, all the children you see on stage are here because of their extraordinary ability and love of language—but only one of them can go on to compete in the National Spelling Bee! Hello, I’m Rona Peretti, and I’m pleased to be back for my 9th consecutive year as your host. Please join me in welcoming our word pronouncer, Vice Principal Delores Panch, and our Comfort Counselor, Mitch Mahoney, who joins us as part of his work release program through the state penitentiary.

(Spelling scenarios are spoken)Sofie: So, without any further ado, let the Spelling Bee-gin! Ms. Park.Clara: Ms. Park speaks five languages.Darya: (Short, and military-like in her answers and questions) No, I don’t.Clara: Oh, dear. Well, that’s the information we’ve been given.Darya: It’s wrong. I speak six languages.Clara: Oh, sorry.Sofie: Your word is Mexican.Darya: Used in a sentence?Sofie: Billy asked his dad, “What’s this green pudding on my taco?” “Billy, it’s called

13

guacamole. It’s Mexican pudding!”Darya: Definition?Sofie: Either an adjective designating something from Mexico or an American term referring to anyone from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Central America, South America, the Dominican Republic, Spain, Azerbaidjan, Tunisia, and, occasionally, Mexico.Darya: Language of origin?Sofie: Mexican.Darya: Mexican’s not a language.Sofie: Okay, then. Spanish.Darya: Capital M-e-x-i-c-a-n. Mexican.

Sofie: That is correct. Phyllis Stafford.Clara: Ms. Stafford organized a nationwide elementary school gummy bear sales program to support President Obama’s Reelection Campaign in which she raised…96,000?!SPELLERS: Dollars? Sofie: Ms. Stafford, your word is atheist.Emma M: I am not!Clara: No, honey. That’s your word. Atheist.Emma M: Well you can see how I might be confused. First, the word is really easy. Second, the Fox News team (as if you can even call it “news”) is constantly demonizing anyone who promotes multiculturalism, tolerance, or even science. Third, many here in Putnam County are influenced by You-Know-Whom, so it would be safe to assume that…Clara: Phyllis! Just spell the word.Sofie: Atheist.Emma M: What oversimplified definition do you have?Sofie: A person who does not believe in the existence of a god or an afterlife. Emma M: That makes it sound like atheists believe in nothing! I’d like to see how you use it in a sentence.Sofie: (Shuffles papers to find a suitable definition) Because he was an atheist, Billy was not bothered by the other kids chanting: “Go to hell, Billy, go to hell!” Emma M: Have you noticed it’s always a male in your sentences? Atheist: a-t-h-e-i-s-t, atheist.Sofie: That is correct. Mr. Barfée.Clara: Mr. Barfée has a rare mucous membrane disorder.Noah: Gross!Clara: Mr. Mahoney!Sofie: Your word is lugubrious.Toby: Oh, yes. Of course. Lugubrious. Meaning extremely sad and droopy.Sofie: More or less, yes. Toby: A topic I am all too familiar with. One moment please.Clara: Watch this technique. He calls it the magic foot. He spells the word out on the floor so he can get a visual, then speaks it out loud. Toby: Lugubrious: l-u-g-u-b-r-i-o-u-s, lugubrious.Sofie: That is correct!Toby: I know!

Sofie: Ms. Poppins.Clara: Many girls hoping to audition for the middle school musical went home crying when they found out Mary Poppins was transferring to their school. Sofie: "Your word is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." Lisa: "May I have the definition?"

14

Sofie: Extremely happy; euphoric, (getting excited) helping you believe you can achieve anything! Lisa: Can I have that in a sentence?Sofie: Bipolar Mary said she often went from feeling supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to...meh.Lisa: Ah, yes. Would you like that forwards or backwards? Sofie: I was afraid of that.Lisa: S-u-p-e-r-c-a-l-i-f-r-a-g-i-l-i-s-t-i-c-e-x-p-i-a-l-i-d-o-c-i-o-u-…Q…?!Sofie: (rings the bell) Oh, so close. The last letter was an “s”.Noah: Yeah, so are you. C’mon, kid. (Leading her offstage) I got a juice box for you.Lisa: Oh, aren’t you precious.Noah: Don’t worry, kid, it’s not the end of the world. Here. (Looks around to make sure nobody is watching) I got a packet of sugar for you.Lisa: And do you have a spoon?Noah: Yeah, I think I do. (Takes a spoon from behind his ear, wipes it off and hands it to her)Lisa: Oh my, isn’t that sweet of you. (she takes it and exits)

Sofie: Mr. Coneybear.Clara: Mr. Coneybear and his siblings are all named after plant parts.Jacob S: Hi Stamen, hi Petal, hi Pollen, hi Trunk.Clara: Mr. Coneybear, your word is omphaloskepsis.Jacob S: That’s a word? Wow! Cool! What does it mean?Sofie: It means “contemplating one’s own navel or belly button”. (All contestants look at their own navels, Leaf even lifts up his shirt to look).Jacob S: Can you use it in a sentence?
