- A Letter From Cecile
Cecile:
"Dear Sophie...
At the convent of St. Ursuline
Under lock and key we always felt secure
We were taught that Heaven is divine
And all who enter it are innocent and pure
And inside those medieval walls
- A Love Letter From the Times
Tom:
Today at tech where life's a zoo
What irony, I missed my cue
Your birthday almost came and went
No wonder you were malcontent
And so tonight to right the wrong
I've written you a birthday song
But I ain't gonna wing it
- A Song For You
Michael:
I've been so many places in my life and time,
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes,
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching,
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you.
I know your image of me is what I hope to be, I've treated you unkindly,
But darling can't you see, there's no one more important to me,
- A Thousand And One Nights
Dev:
Darling, the hands of time must always point ahead, yesterday's passed
Today has come and gone, the secret of tomorrow's coming fast
Which bedtime story shall I sing to you when we turn out the lights?
One of eternity or one of just a thousand and one nights?
- Adieu Mon Coeur
Adieu mon cœur.
On te jette au malheur.
Tu n'auras pas mes yeux
Pour mourir
Adieu mon cœur.
Les échos du bonheur
Font tes chants tristes
Autant qu'un repentir.
- Another Op'nin', Another Show
Tom:
Another op'nin', another show
Both:
In Philly, Boston or Baltimo',
A chance for stage folks to say hello,
Another op'nin' of another show.
- At Your Feet
Gladys:
Darling, every Saturday it's our tradition
I give you a nickel for a days admission
Then Mommy has to run, ah, but that won't stop your fun
'Cause you get to see whose shoes you fit
Hey, Grauman, can you babysit?
Young Norma Jeane:
- Beautiful
Karen:
Everyday is so wonderful,
Then suddenly
It's hard to breathe,
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain.
I'm so ashamed.
- Bittersweet Symphony
Ivy:
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
Where all the veins meet, yeah
- Breakaway
Ivy:
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down,
I'd just stare out my window.
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy,
I would pray.
- Brighter Than The Sun
All:
Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart,
It goes off like a gun...
Karen:
...Brighter than the sun.
Stop me on the corner,
- broadway here i come
I'm high above the city
I'm standing on the ledge
The view from here is pretty
And I step off the edge
And now I'm falling, baby, through the sky, through the sky
I'm falling, baby, through the sky
It's my calling, baby, don't you cry, don't you cry
- Broadway, Here I Come
Jimmy:
I'm high above the city
I'm standing on the ledge
The view from here is pretty
And I step off the edge
And now I'm falling, baby, through the sky, through the sky
I'm falling, baby, through the sky
- Call Me
Karen:
Color me your color, baby,
Color me your car,
Color me your color, darling,
I know who you are.
Come up off your color chart,
I know where you're comin' from.
- Caught In the Storm
Karen:
You can push me away, I can take it
I can make you a promise, and break it
We know the way it goes by now
Running off just to see if I chase you
I pretend I know how to replace you
Still we get tangled up some how
- Crazy Dreams
Hello you long-shots, you dark horse runners,
Hair brush singers, dash-board drummers,
Hello you wild magnolias, just waiting to bloom.
There's a little bit of all that inside of me and you,
Thank God even crazy dreams come true.
I've stood at the bottom of some walls I thought I couldn't climb.
I felt like Cinderella at the ball, just running out of time.
- Cut, Print... Moving On
Marilyn:
I know I've kept you waiting
I know I made you mad
But this time that we've spent creating
Was the best time I ever had
Now I love to sit with memories
But they won't come until we're gone
- Dance To The Music
All:
Dance to the Music,
Dance to the Music,
Dance to the Music,
Dance to the Music.
Jessica:
All we need is a drummer,
- Dancing On My Own
Ivy:
Somebody said you got a new friend
Does she love you better than I can?
There's a big black sky over my town
I know where you're at, I bet she's around
Yeah, I know it's stupid
I just gotta see it for myself
- Dig Deep
The challenge for the actor is to use since memory of childhood trauma. The actor must deploy the conscious and dig into the unconscious. The challenge for the actor.
Ensemble:
Use the past,
Use your pain.
Never ever try to entertain.
Let Stanislavsky be your umbrella.
Mumble your words!
- Don't Forget Me
Marilyn:
They thought they could dispose of me.
They tried to make me small.
I suffered each indignity but now rise above it all.
Yes, the price that I paid was all I had
But at last I found release.
And if something good can come from bad,
The past can rest in peace.
- Don't Let Me Know
Karen:
I wish you were a bad man
I wish you made it easier
I wish you'd done something unforgivable
'Cause holding onto you is that all I can do until
I learn the hands around my throat are my own
- Don't Say Yes Until I Finish Talking
Ensemble:
A studio executive has no beliefs,
That's the way of a studio system.
We bow to every rear of all the studio chiefs
And you can bet your ass we've kissed 'em.
Even the birds in the Hollywood hills
Know the secret to our success.
It's those magical words that pay the bills:
- Everybody Loves You Now
Kyle:
Baby all the lights are turned on you
Now you're in the center of the stage
Ev'rything revolves on what you do
Ah, you are in your prime
You've come of age
You can always have your way somehow
'Cause ev'rybody loves you now
- Everything Coming Up Rose's
Leigh:
I had a dream, a dream about you, baby.
It's gonna come true, baby.
They think that we're through, but baby,
You'll be swell! You'll be great!
Gonna have the whole world on the plate!
Starting here, starting now,
- Feelin' Alright
Ivy:
Seems I've got to have a change of scene
Every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
But someone locked the door and took the key
- Good For You
Verse 1:]
If you start the party,
Don't end up leaving early.
Cause I've been waiting for you all night long.
If you're falling,
I'll make it easy for you.
Cause I've been waiting for that all night long.
- Grenade
Michael:
Easy come, easy go,
That's just how you live oh,
Take, take, take it all,
But you never give.
Should've known
You was trouble
- Grin and Bear
Ivy:
Sure, go ahead and drink, girlie
But don't forget from where you came
You're just tryna blow off steam, girlie
Not that I blame you, every night's the same
You finish the show
You rinse out your tights
- Haven't Met You Yet
Lyle:
I'm not surprised, not everything lasts,
I've broken my heart so many times, I stopped keeping track,
Talk myself in, I talk myself out,
I get all worked up, then I let myself down.
I tried so very hard not to lose it,
I came up with a million excuses,
- Heart Shaped Wreckage
Jimmy:
I'm not scared to tell the truth
I've been to hell and back and I went with you
Remind me what we were before
When we said "You are mine and I am yours"
Karen:
I don't know much but I know myself
- High and Dry
Jimmy:
Two jumps in a week
I bet you think that's pretty clever, don't you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle,
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition,
Kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror,
- History Is Made At Night
Marilyn:
Put down the playbook,
'Cause the things I wanna show you can’t be written down,
Let my lips do the teaching.
Joe:
Turn off the camera,
Kick your shoes off for this scene you should be sitting down,
- I Got Love
Veronica:
Ooooo-ooooh
He thinks I'm afraid
He oughta know I'm not
Why should I be scared?
I'm safe and sound because I got love
- I Heard Your Voice In a Dream
Jesse:
I thought I was hopeless, I thought I was broken
I struggled to laugh when the whole room was joking
I'd wait in the cold, but the door wouldn't open 'til I
'Til I heard your voice in a dream
And nothing comes easy when everyone's rushing
The signal's got speed but there's no real connection
- I Never Met A Wolf Who Didn't Like To Howl
Marilyn:
When you are born with sex appeal
In a forest called Hollywood,
You'll find more wolves at your backdoor
Than that Little Red Riding Hood.
Now she and her little old Gramma
Could have learned from the men I've dated
That a wolf can be quite a devotee
- I Never Met A Wolf Who Didn't Love To Howl
Marilyn:
Here's a lesson they should teach in school,
When a girl gets curvy, and the boys all drool,
If math and science just ain't your style,
Just give that teacher a wink and a smile,
For a passing grade, you won't have to wait,
And you can thank him later when you graduate,
- I'm Goin' Down
Ivy:
Time on my hands since I've been away,
I ain't got no plans
No, no, no, no.
And the sound of the rain, against my windowpain.
Is slowly, slowly driving me insane.
I'm going down,
- I'm Not Sorry
Nina:
I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry, sorry
Walkin' through the club I felt your shadow on the wall
Think I'm catching up, think we got a date with destiny
I bet your shadow'd rather follow me, mmm-hmm...
- It's A Man's Man's Man's World
Karen:
This is a man's world, this is a man's world,
But it would be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl.
You see, man made the cars, to take us over the road,
Man made the train, to carry the heavy load,
Man made the electric light, to take us out of the dark,
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark.
- Let Me Be Your Star
Karen:
Fade in on a girl
With a hunger for fame,
And a face
And a name to remember.
The past fades away,
Because as of this day
- Let's Be Bad
Ensemble:
When we’re feeling down and low,
When our favorite word is “no”,
'Cause it points the way to go,
Let’s be bad.
Who knows what will come tomorrow,
Labor loose to sauce and sorrow,
- Mama Makes Three
Veronica:
A boy I go to school with calls me up for a date
He said "I'll come and get you 'bout a quarter to eight"
We go off to a movie where he steals a little kiss
And then we park around the corner to explore a little bliss
I think his heart's a-pounding but it isn't my man
It's my mama out the window with a frying pan
- Never Give All The Heart
Karen:
As a girl, I lived in a million homes
So I always would keep to myself.
And my lessons were learned
From the stories and poems
I would steal from a library shelf.
Yes, the books like the Roots
- On Broadway
Veronica:
They say the neon lights are bright on broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down the street
And you ain't got enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
Karen:
- Our Little Secret
John F. Kennedy:
Nobody asking me questions
Nobody planning a coup
Nobody with their suggestions of what not to do
Nobody taking our picture
Nobody turning the screw
It's our little secret, just us two
- Pretender
Amanda:
Your dirty kiss, you tried to pull me right in
Your little tricks, you're used to winning
You play your part - dancer in the dark
Saying anything to try and steal away a heart
Now you got her, she's lying up in your bed
Don't seem to stop ya, you keep on calling
- Public Relations
Reporters:
Here she is, Miss Marilyn Monroe!
Will she have the answers that our readers want to know?
Indian Reporter:
From India!
Parisian Reporter:
- Redneck Woman
Karen:
Well, I ain't never been Barbie doll type,
No, I can't swig that sweet champagne, I'd rather drink beer all night,
In a tavern or in a honky tonk or on a four-wheel drive tailgate,
I've got posters on my wall of Skynyrd, Kid and Strait.
Some people look down on me, but I don't give a rip,
I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip.
- Rewrite This Story
Jesse:
There's a block on the edge of this town no one talks about
Where the train doesn't stop and the kids know they're not getting out
You live in a loop of smokes on the stoop, counting the coins you got
You work at a bar where all that you are is everything you're not
Someone tell me when I can start again
And rewrite this story
- Rumor Has It
Karen:
All of these words whispered in my ear,
Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear,
Just 'cause I said it, don't mean that I meant it,
People say crazy things,
Just 'cause I said it, don't mean that I meant it,
Just 'cause you heard it,
- Some Boys
Karen:
Ooooohh...
Yeah
Some boys are filling, some boys are filling the hole
They're making the killing at the top of the billings
Their role, and that's all that they know
But some boys don't listen, some boys don't listen at all
- That's Life
Ivy:
That's life, that's what people say
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change their tune
When I'm back, back on top in June
Karen:
- The 20th Century Fox Mambo
Marilyn:
In this factory
Where dreams can come true,
Are you ready
To make someone new?
You're the team
That must teach me to do,
The 20th Century Fox Mambo.
- The Big Finish
Ivy:
Hi, Karen Cartwright
Karen:
Hi, Ivy Lynn
Ivy:
Are you ready to give the people what they want?
- The Goodbye Song
Jimmy:
The time has come
I’m flying away
Mouth is numb
Heart don’t know what to say
And although I’ll be out of sight, dear
Know I'll be right here
- The Higher You Get, The Farther The Fall
The Angels:
Welcome, welcome
Recently deceased,
Be you democrat, republican,
Chorus girl or priest.
Though you closed up shop
And you're recently departed,
We're afraid the final test
- The Last Goodbye
This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know
This is our last embrace
- The Love I Meant To Say
Jimmy:
Over, I can't believe it's over
I can't believe the love I lived
To show some other day
Listen, I hope that you can hear me
As I kneel down and pray
With the love I meant to say
- The National Pastime
Marilyn:
Fellas!
Yankees:
Yeah?
Marilyn:
Fellas!
- The Right Regrets
Arthur:
A writer has the empty page where he can set the scene
He puts the actors on the stage or on the movie screen
The characters all say the words the writer wants to hear
And then my friend; a happy end
But when the writer steps outside that room where he is king
He can't control when lives collide or what the lovers sing
- They Just Keep Moving The Line
Marilyn:
The field was bright with clover
I saw the finish sign
I started as a rover
And then victory was mine
I thought the race was over
But they just keep moving the line
- This Will Be Our Year
Jimmy:
The warmth of your love's like the warmth from the sun
And this will be our year, took a long time to come
Don't let go of my hand now the darkness has gone
And this will be our year, took a long time to come
And I won't forget the way you held me up when I was down
- touch me
Look at me baby,
Tell me, tell me what you see?
Wanna watch baby like a, like a movie screen.
Gonna get what I want
Want you on your knees.
Give it up, baby,
Don't you, don't you make a scene.
- Under Pressure
Ivy:
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Karen:
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
- Vienna
Tom:
Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me
Why are you still so afraid?
Mmmm...
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
- Would I Lie to You
Ladies:
Whoo!
Would I lie to you? (Karen: Oh, yeah!)
Would I lie to you honey? (Karen: Oh, no, no, no)
Now would I say something that wasn't true?
I'm asking you sugar, would I lie to you?
- Ария материнской любви
Marilyn:
My mother bought it secondhand from a silent movie star,
It was out of tune, but still I learned to play,
And with each note we both would smile forgetting who we are,
And all the pain would simply fly away.
Something secondhand and broken still can make a pretty sound,
Even if it doesn't have a place to live.
- Финал
Нам если стало грустно вдруг
То знаем мы нас здесь поймут
Здесь все танцуют и поют
Это тют
Что будет завтра, знает кто...?
Нас не тревожит ничего
Ведь здесь уютно и тепло
Это тют
