My very first script...
I have been working for weeks on this and at the moment it is still a draft, but I would like to know what you think! It is a musical made up of popular west-end songs including Phantom of the Opera, Wicked and of course a special appearance of Les Misérables at the end!
ALSO I'm not sure on the name so let me know! -- All that Jazz ____________________ A Musical containing songs from popular Broadway and West-End shows by ACT 1 Spoiler: [OVERTURE/ALL THAT JAZZ] JENNA: COME ON BABE, WHY DON’T WE PAINT THE TOWN? AND ALL THAT JAZZ! I’M GONNA ROUGE MY KNEES, AND ROLE MY STOCKINGS DOWN, AND ALL THAT JAZZ! START THE CAR, I KNOW A WHOOPEE SPOT, WHERE THE GIN IS COLD, BUT THE PIANO’S HOT!

WILL YOU JOIN IN OUR CRUSADE? WHO WILL BE STRONG AND STAND WITH ME? SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE BARRICADE, IS THERE WORLD YOU LONG TO SEE? DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING? SAY, DO YOU HEAR THE DISTANT DRUMS? IT IS THE FUTURE THAT THEY BRING, WHEN TOMORROW COMES! WILL YOU JOIN IN OUR CRUSADE? WHO WILL BE STRONG AND STAND WITH ME? SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE BARRICADE, IS THERE WORLD YOU LONG TO SEE? DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING? SAY, DO YOU HEAR THE DISTANT DRUMS? IT IS THE FUTURE THAT THEY BRING, WHEN TOMORROW COMES! OH! OH! OH! TOMORROW COMES! ____________________ THE END |
