The One Minute Musical#0

Posted: 1/6/05 at 9:22pm

Are you tired of having to travel to some faraway theater and sit for 2 1/2 hours just for a little entertainment?

Well, worry no more!!!


BroadwayWorld is now introducing a series of One-Minute Musicals--to be enjoyed right at the privacy at your own PC--and you have the best seat in the house--YOURS!


The first selection in our collection I have been asked to introduce is:


THE KING AND I--


Anna: I am an uptight widow from Wales who has come to Siam to be the governess of your 125 children.

King: I am King. I know everything--I think.

Anna: Shall We Dance?


THE END


Who would like to introduce the next one-minute musical in the collection?

RENT
Roger: I have AIDS. It sucks.
Mark: I can't make a decent film. It sucks.
Mimi: The guy I'm trying to seduce picked his guitar over me. It sucks.

[Time passes, people get together and break up]

Roger: I still have AIDS and it still sucks, but it doesn't matter because there's no day but today. And I have a really hot stripper girlfriend.

Dextrous Existence i loved yours! it is so true!

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

Assassins

Proprietor: Feeling blue? C'mere and kill a President!

John Wilkes Booth assassinates Abraham Lincoln

John Wilkes Booth: Well, that was kinda anticlimatic. Now everyone just thinks I'm an egotistical ass who just wanted fame.

Booth sits and watches all the Presidential assassins and would-be Presidential assassins who came after him

John Wilkes Booth: Man, I am in a company of some pretty ****ed up people.

Samuel Byck: Hey, don't blame me I'm from Massachusetts.

Proprietor: Johnny's right. You guys are ****ed up. Especially you, Mr. Guiteau, you gun worshiping SOB.

All: But everybody's got the right to be ****ed up.

Emcee: Welcome!

Sally: I'm a party girl who doesn't care much if the Nazis take over Germany. Can I hang out with you?

Cliff: Sure--I'm gay--but meeting you has turned me into a bisexual--and what are we going to do about the fact that you are now pregnant with our child?

Sally: Oh, don't worry. I'll just get an abortion!


Cliff: You aborted OUR child? PISS OFF!!!
