**Live and Let Die(Wings)
*piano solo starts from behind the scrim, far stage left. Soft violet light shows the sillouette of the musicians behind the scrim*
*A soft blue spotlight follows a figure who is in a black gown, hair tied up and holding a microphone. Light brightens, audience makes out Blu Flyer* (a few cat calls ^.~)
Blu (raises microphone slowly): When you were young and your heart...was an open book.. (a few yells from the audience) *A few extra piano keys as another figure walks forward. Golden light on him*
Lance: You used to say live and let live.. (some of them young female thangs scream)
*Real faint silver lights on the cast in back*
Company: You know ya did, you know ya did, you know ya did
Blu: But in this ever changing world in which we live in.. makes you give in and cry.. (screams)
Lance: Say Live and Let Die!
*lights up with each DUM, DUM! (hehe)*
Company: Live And Let Die..
Blu: Live And Let Die.. All (and some audience): Live And Let Die!
*Lights up full, Company all dressed in black. Cheers from the audience as they recognize their favorite AliRPG character show up as the music starts up. Colored lights according to ICFs (hmm, maybe even some cool light effects? =P) Blu and Lance step aside and each character takes a nice walk to the front, waves at the croud, bows and heads to the side to make room for the next.*
Blu *upstages Lance and points at the audience*: What does it matter to ya? When ya gotta job ta do, ya gotta do it well...You gotta give the other fella HELL! (Company: HELL!) (nifty light ffects and screams from e audience)
Blu and Lance back up as a lit-up stairway comes down from the flies (the ropes in the ceiling that let people "fly" stuff in). Company take standing still positions to stage right and left, leaving Lance and Blu at up-center stage. Lights dim and both walk forward slowly and up the stairs as the violins start again. Facing at the audience from the top-*
Both: You used to say Live and Let Live
Company: (You Know You Did, You Know You Did You Know You Did) (a single scream from the audience)
Blu: But in this ever changing world in which we live in Lance: (softlike) Makes you give in and cry... (screams and whistles)
Blu (grinning): Say Live and let die!
*lights up with each strike again*
Company: Live And Let Die..
Blu: Live And Let Die..
All: Live And Let Die!!
*Lights are up again, and the Company walks forward, waving at the audience (which is screaming madly)*
Blu (blows a kiss to the audience and yells over the music): You're in for a show tonite ladies and gentlemen! Thanks for joining us! Have fun everyone!! HI MOM!
*lights fade to black as the music ends*
**Mr. Roboto (Styx)
(screams from the audience)
Saveen’s TDT: Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto.
Saveen, Fink and James (breaking into chorus): Domo Arigato! Mr. Roboto! Mata ah-oo hima de! Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, Himitsu wo shiri tai! (wild applause)
*One of those disco balls flies in, lights to the disco ball. Specks of light go over the audience, which is in the middle of The Wave. Saveen begins banging his head upon the shuttle console to the beat.*
James: You're wondering who I am. (Fink: Secret, secret, I’ve got a secret!)
Saveen: Machine or mannequin? (James: Secret, secret, I’ve got a secret!) (by this time the audience members who know the song are singing along)
Fink: With parts made in Japan! >(Saveen: Secret, secret, I’ve got a secret!)
James: I am the modern man! (whistles from the audience)
*The lights go out, and the disco ball begins to swirls with all of those lights. Fink and Saveen’s TDT’s begin to play rhythm in the background*
Fink (points at the audience): I’ve got a secret, I’ve been hiding, under my skin! (screams from the audience)
James (joins Fink): My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain IBM! (more screams)
Fink: So if you see me, acting strangely, don’t be surprised.
James: I’m just a man who.. needed someone, and somewhere to hide!
Saveen: To keep me alive…. Just keep me alive!
James: Somewhere to hide… to keep me alive!
*The TDTs’ go absolutely nuts on the rhythm bit. Audience screaming madly*
Saveen: I’m not a robot, without emotion. I’m not what you see! I’ve come to help you, with your problems, so we can be free!
Fink: I’m not a hero! I’m not a savior! Forget what you know!
James: I’m just a man who’s, circumstances went beyond his control!
All together: Beyond my control… we all need control! (audience screams)
James: I need control.. We all need control! I am the modern man.. who hides behind a mask.. So no one else can see.. my true ident-ity!
*The TDT’s go absolutely nuts, everybody puts on a black fedora and pair of black sunglasses. Cat-calls from the audience*
Fink (gesturing to the audience): Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...
Saveen’s TDT: Domo.
(guys on the set quiet, waiting for the audience)
Audience: DOMO!
Fink’s TDT: Domo.
Audience: Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto! Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto! Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto! Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto! (Guys on the set jammin')
*Fink and Saveen continue in chorus, James takes off his sunglasses and stands up, hand on heart. Screams from the gals in the audience*
James: Thank you very much-o, Mr. Roboto! For doing the jobs that nobody wants to… And thank you very much-o, Mr. Roboto for helping me escape just when I needed to! Thank you-thank you! I want to thank you, please, thank you!
*James high fives Fink and sits down. Saveen continues to do the head banger thing against the shuttle console. Audience goes wild with applause*
Fink: The problem's plain to see: too much technology. Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.
All: The time has come at last.. (James: secret, secret, I’ve got a secret!)
James: To throw away this mask! (Fink: secret, secret, I’ve got a secret!)
Saveen (softly): So everyone can see…
Fink (loud like): My true identity!
(Audience finishes the song as the guys on the set poof out in clouds of smoke. Fade to black)
**Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen)
*slow slow lights up on Blu & Trixxy. Blu & Trixxy are doing all the instrumentals*
Blu and Trixxy: Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy... Caught in a landslide
(James: No escape from reality)
Blu: Open your eyes
Trixxy: Look up to the skies (both) and seeee...
James: I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Blu and Trixxy: 'Cause I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
James: Anywhere the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me... To me..
Blu: Mama... Just killed a man... Put my gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he's dead ...Mama! Life had just begun! And now I've gone and thrown it all away... (calls from the croud)
James (steps forward): Mama! Oooh! Didn't mean to make you cry! If I'm not back again this time tomorrow... (Blu: Carry on, Carry on...) (Trixxy: As if nothing really matters)
Vail (upstages James, takes off his beret. Screams from the audience) ....Too late, my time has come. Sends shivers down my spine. Body's achin' all the time...Goodbye everybody, I've got to go. Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth... (steps back, calls from the audience and he does a little bow-thing)
(James steps up so he and Vail are standing in between Blu and Trixxy)
Vail & James: Mama...Oooooooooh....I don't wanna die. Sometimes I wished I'd never been born at all...
*lights fade on Vail & James, lights on Blu and Trixxy brighten as they play the..erg, whatsit called...whatever. Lights change as the song enters the second part. Lights focus on all four*
James: I see a little stilleutto of a man James and Blu: Scadamush, scadamush, will you do the vandango!
All: Thunderbolt and lightening, very, VERY frightening me!
Blu: Gallileo! James: Gallileo! Trixxy: Gallileo! Vail: Gallileo!
All: Gallileo figolo..
James: Please let me go-o-o-o Vail (grinning): I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me (pouts)
Blu and Trixxy: He's just a poor boy from a poor family! Spare him his life from this monstrocity!
Vail: Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Blu and Trixxy: BismillAH NO! We will not let you go! Vail: Let me go!
Blu and Trixxy: BismillAH NO! Will not let you go Vail and James: Let him go!
Blu and Trixxy: Will not let you go Vail: Let me GO!
Blu and Trixxy: Will not let you go Vail: LET ME GOOO-O-O-O-O-O (The others join in at appropriate times),
Blu and Trixxy: NO, NO, No, no, NO, no NO!!
Vail: Oh Mamamia, momamia!
All: Mamamia let me go! Beezlebub has a devil put aside for me!
Vail: For ME!
All: FOR ME!
*All begin to headbang except Vail, who takes the tie out of his hair first*
Blu: So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye... Vail (steps forward with a mic): So you think you can love me and leave me to die! Ooooh, baby, can't do this to me baby.. Just gotta get it out, just gotta get it ri-ight outta here
*lights focus on Trixxy for the guitar-ness*
Blu and Trixxy: Oooooh, oooooh, oooh yeah, ooh-yeah
James (upstages Vail): Nothing really matters...Anyone can see...Nothing really matters... Nothing really matters... to meee
*lights begin to fade*
Vail: Anywhere the wind blows...
*lights out. Vail and Trixxy leave, Trixxy taking her stool. Blu moves the piano to center stage, along with the stool, and sets a red rose in a crystal vase on the piano top. She leaves, and James meets another figure halfway out. He takes Arasan (in a beautiful black gown)'s arm. They sit at the piano. Lights fade. Candles on the far wall miraculously light, and fan-lights in blue, green and silver light up (anyone see Sarah McLachlan at the Grammies (I think it was the grammies)? Like dat). The two begin to play the Teardrops theme. Audience is silent the whole way through. When they are done, they both stand and take a bow. Audience begins to applaud, they applaude for a long time, and the applause becomes a standing ovation. James leads Arasan off stage-right. Blu appears and wheels the piano off again.*
**There She Goes/Fame (Fame the Musical)
*sillouette lights appear, setting off a handful of people on the stage. Lightes steps are in center stage. Music starts up. Blu steps up into the spotlot in a long, glittering black dress with a full skirt and a slit in the side. Her hair is completely done in a blue Seven-of-Nine type bun*
Blu: There she goes! Ain't she the picture of a real live star! You want to follow her wherever you are! And there she goes!
*music gets louder and the lights come up. Company in back steps forward. Audience cheers. Company kneels on one knee, and Blu walks by them*
Blu: She's pasin' you! You better hurry if you want to look. Maybe you'll get her in your autograph book (Fink hands a book to Blu and she signs it and then tosses it out into the audience) She's passin you! Reach out to touch...Don't be shy! There ain't no reason to be scared! *Blu heads up the stairs* No, it's too much, I can't look her in the eye! No..I'm not prepared! *She reaches the top and turns to the audience*
Blu (talking like a ditz): Oh, thank you so much Ladies and Gentlemen! Thank you so much! You've been so wonderful to me, I don't know how to thank you! And than you God for making me...So fantastic!! And so beautiful!
Blu: (starts down and stops in the middle) I'm on top of the charts! (steps down another step) I'm on top in their hearts! (walks all the way down and struts towards the audience) Look at them all! Look at the crowds! Everything's is so beautiful up here in the clouds! (points towards the sky)
Blu (invisible at the moment): I'm gonna live forever...I'm gonna learn how to fly! I'm gonna make it to heaven...Baby remember my name!
*Blu steps through the fog upstage, full skirt gone and replaced with a short glittering black swing outfit. She reaches up and takes her hair out of the bun, shaking her head so it falls down like so much blueness*
Blu: Baby look at me and tell me what you see! You ain't seen the best of me yet..Give me time I'll make ya forget the rest...I got more in me...And you can set it free! I can catch the moon in my hand! Don't you know who I am? Remember my name -
*Company appears from the mist, dressed all in black pants and shirts with MIB-type sunglasses on*
All: FAME!
Blu: I'm gonna live forever, I'm gonna learn how ta fly! All: HIGH!
Blu: I feel it comin' together.. People will see me and cry Company: FAME!
Blu: I'm gonna make it to heaven, light up the sky like a flame! Company: FAME! *small fireworks explode*
Blu: I'm gonna live forever...Baby remember my name.. Company: Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember!
Blu walks further upstage*
Blu: Baby, hold me tight...Cuz you can make it right! You can shoot me straight to the top! Give me love and take all I got ta give! Baby, I'll be tough...Too much is not enough, no! I can ride your heart till it breaks...Yeah, I got at it takes!
Company: Fame!

**When I Fall (BNL)
*Lights up. Joe on a scaffold, squeegie next to him, a green electric guitar across his arms, and a newsie cap on his head, flies in slowly from the ceiling, center. He's looking at the guitar as he plays the notes. Calls from the audience*
Joe: Look straight in the window (screams from the audience), try not to look below... Pretend I'm not up here, try counting sheep....The sheep seem to shower off this office tower. Nine-point-eight straight down, can't stop my knees... *looks up past the audience* I wish I could fly...from this building, from this wall... And if I should try...Would you catch me, if I fall?
*Scaffold swings about ten feet off the ground slowly*
Joe: My hands clench the squeegie...Secular rosary... Hang onto your wallet, hang onto your rings.. Can't look below me, something will throw me.. I curse at the windstorms that October brings... Look straight in the board room, modern for pharaoh's tomb..Gladly swap places, if they care ta die... They're lined up at the window, here down into limbo.. Frightened of jumping, in case they survive... Wish I could step from this scaffold onto soft green pastures, shopping malls or to bed, with my family, with my pastor and my grandfather who's dead...I look straight in the mirror, I watch it come clearer... I look like a painter.. Behind all the grease.. Paintings creating.. and I'm just erasing. The crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece.. *stands on scaffold* I wish I could fly...from this building, from this wall... And if I should try...Would you catch me, if I fall?
*Rick and Jenny drop down on scaffolds behind him, Rick with drums and Jenny with a guitar*
All: I wish I could fly...from this building, from this wall... And if I should try...Would you catch me, if I fall?
Joe: When I fall... Rick: When I fall... Jen: When I fall...
Joe: When I.. Hmmm-hmmm (Jenny joins in with some nice vocals)
*lights fade out*
*audience hears Joe yell, INTERMISSION! Get me some Coke, 'kay? hehe..*
