Santa Idina

Please, great Idina
Will you bless a Wicked fan?
For I love you
Tell Patti you're doing your best
I liked you so much when you played
The Witch of the West

Please, sweet Idina
Will you sing Evita grand?
For I love you
Tell Maddie you're doing your best
Sing - don't scream - the role
And your detractors will be impressed

Santa, Santa Idina
Screamer of all of the show tunes
You yell, but how we love you
There is no one above you
You ain't no baloney
You won a Tony

Spoken: Why try to have a solo career when you can become a saint?

Okay, I wrote "New York Tourists" which is sung to the tune of "Mamma Mia." It's not really sung by anyone in particular, other than the cast.


Our show’s been open a while,
It opened five years ago
Everybody was thrilled
All the families would go
But now we’re scared
That our sales might drop
We cannot be
Lower than the top five shows
So we always fix the gross
All our salaries go into our sales
Just to make sure that our show doesn’t fail

So,

New York tourists – see our show again
Come on, how can you resist us?
Our songs are cheesy – and they’re out of date
And they haven’t yet stunt-cast us!
Yes, our Broadway Grosses
Were low and atrocious
But still, you should come and see our show!
New York tourists – now you really know
See us before the talent up and goes

Our show is full
Of happy song-and-dance
And even an encore
Where we’ll make you clap and sing
You’ll still have sat through the whole damn thing
One time more
And then we’ll leave you alone
Pretty soon we’ll sell you tickets by phone

So,

New York tourists – see our show again
Come on, how can you resist us?
Our songs are cheesy – and they’re out of date
And they haven’t yet stunt-cast us!
Yes, our Broadway Grosses
Were low and atrocious
But still, you should come and see our show!
New York tourists – now you really know
See us before the talent up and goes

Box Office Manager: What the hell are these 5 unsold tickets doing here? Well, I’d love to stay and sell them, but I’ve got to…drag in more tourists, or something.

Box Office Employee 1: A thousand performances just can’t wither her.

Box Office Employee 2: I was expecting a bigger amount of deadwood.

Box Office Employee 3: No, we’re still selling!

Those 5 tickets could determine our lives
We need this job or else how will we survive?

So,

New York tourists – see our show again
Come on, how can you resist us?
Our songs are cheesy – and they’re out of date
And they haven’t yet stunt-cast us!
Yes, our Broadway Grosses
Were low and atrocious
But still, you should come and see our show!
New York tourists – now you really know
See us before the talent up and goes

I'll probably write another one later. That was so much fun.

What the heck? I post and suddenly the thread dies? I don't think so.

BUMP!

What fond memories. I re-read this entire thread and was laughing the entire way through.

This is absolutely worth revisiting. I think I'll try to write another one - I miss doing this!

"Too Many Mornings" from FOLLIES, as sung by Michelle Pawk

MICHELLE

Too many evenings,
sitting and pretending I perform with you.
Thousands of evenings,
dreaming of my John,
all that time wasted,
mouthing Bjorn's pre-recorded goo.
Time I could have spent,
half content,
doing something new.

Too many evenings,
wishing that my voice hadn't failed the job.
Evening to evening,
turning into months,
all the months...will I ever work again?

All the nodes
With some time still left to spend,
all those talks
we'd sit there and say:

"I'll only do the show with you!"
"Let us go perform this trend!"
"Johnny, think of HOLLYWOOD ARMS!"
"I want to do something before I'm dead."

Too many mornings,
sitting and thinking I failed my man.
Thousands of evenings,
dreaming of my man.
All those shows
you're forced to do alone-
shows I could have spent,
atleast half-content,
performing dreck with you...

"Bungee", as sung to the tune of "Memory" from CATS

THE CAST OF TARZAN

Midnight,
Not a sound from the carpet.
Have the 'apes' lost their bungees?
No, the show is just done.
In the ghostlight
the giant clips
hang down from the flies.
And the door
is locked and bared.

Bungee,
all alone in the ghostlight
I can smile at the old days,
I was grounded back then.
I remember
The time I knew what 'pain-free' really meant,
let the bungees life me up.

The next evening
we all come
and gather with our bungees.
Someone falls down
And the viewers just frown
and soon it will be over.

Mondays,
I must wait for the repreive,
I must think of a one day
When I didn't know pain.
When the dusk comes
Tonight I'll be on bungees a lot,
and every muscle I will strain.

I swing out and wave about-
the stale, cold look of boredom.
The bungees end
another show is over.

Clip me!
It's so taxing to fly me
all alone with my bungee
that the audience can see.
If you clip me
you'll understand what 'excrutiating' means.
Look - a new ape
has moved on...

Parody of “What is This Feeling”

Loathing unbelievable annoying
For the music, the show, it’s clothing
Let’s just say, I loathe it all
Every little thing Stephen Schwartz writes
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
Loathing, it’s a strange fascination
Teen-age girls stalking obsession
It’s satanic and wrong
When will people realize it’s a fake?
With empty lyrics for Christ sakes
And I will be lathing it forever
Loathing it forever
Loathing it forever and on

I posted this song in a thread way back in Septmeber of 2004. (I feel old now....wow...so long ago)


Overrate
Sung to the Tune of 'Popular'

Kristin:
Whenever people love me
They become obsesseed
(And let's face it---Who Isn't?
Totally Obsessed?)
Their life is planned
Around my vocal band
And when someone begins stalking me
And wonders where I like to pee
You know you know that I am in demand
And when I start to belt
All those teenage girls begin to melt
Don't ask why---They believe that where I stand
Is Holy Land
They think I'm grand.
They....tend.....to.....

Overrate!
Those girls always overrate!
They think that I'm Jesus Christ,
Though I'm overpriced
And my voice can be quite shrill
Always thinking that I am God
Which is slightly odd
Maybe they are popping pills...

BWW Poster:
'Cause they overrate!
Teen girls always overrate!
They're obsessed with show like RENT
Which are way past spent
They think WICKED's so great
It might be
But only because they might relate....

Go to the record store and pick up SWEENEY TODD
Although at first I know that you might find it odd
You should ask Margo to become your pal,
Your mentor and advisor,
There's nobody wiser
We'll all help you not overrate--
"Cause you tend to overrate!
And pretty soon you'll see
Shows like COMPANY
Really aren't all that poor---but par!
You might actually like it
But to you right now it is obscure--scar?

When I hear God-awful showtunes
Blown up with bright lights and balloons
I begin to cry somewhere inside
I think of
All the shows that should be up there
But theatre is going nowhere
Is WICKED that well-written?
Don't make me glare!

People overrate, please!
Teen girls tend to overrate!
It's not about great music
WICKED's will make you sick
So it's very slick to see
Other shows exist
And, no I do not mean MILLIE!

BWW Poster: Why, little WICKED fan, why don't you expand your musical horizons?

WICKED fan: F off, b*tch!

BWW Poster:
And though you protest!
Your disinterest
I know clandestinedly
You're gonna stop and see that
WICKED's not all it can be!

La La
La La

WICKED is not that great
And only through time will you start to see!
