2017 Riverton MDT Musical Review 1

On Broadway in January of 1975, running for a little over 4 years, The Wiz is a story about a schoolteacher, Dorothy, who is visiting her family in Harlem for Thanksgiving and seems to not be grateful for much. However, after chasing her dog, Toto, she is caught in a snowstorm and transported to the Land of Oz, where she is enlightened that her only chance of getting home is to see the Great Wizard in Emerald City. After Dorothy kills the Wicked Witch to complete her quest, the city comes together to celebrate.

Ruth, played by Jessica Woolley, and Eileen, played by Abby Hollinger, dream of going back to Ohio in the song "Ohio." Ruth, now, Eileen, everything will be all right. It's awful. Never mind, Eileen, just try to sleep. I can't sleep. Try, darling, make your mind to blink. I did. I keep thinking of Ohio. Oh, Eileen, me too. Oh, why, oh, why did I ever leave Ohio? Why did I wander to find love lies yonder when life was so cozy at home? Wandering while I wander, why did I fly? Why did I roam? Oh, why, oh, why, oh, did I leave Ohio? Maybe I'd better go away, child. Maybe we'd better go home. Now listen, Eileen. Ohio was stifling. We just couldn't wait to get out of that place. Ma saved real money on paper this evening. If Pop was with Eileen, you'd be home here by 10. This gossiping neighbor's always yapping who's going with who. And dating those drunks on a hillside porch. Who won his club dance. On the basketball court. Ma, the villagers are insane. What a pretty violet on earth. Why did we fly? Why did we roam? Oh my Ohio, did we leave Ohio? Maybe we better go away, child. Maybe we better go —at the Broadway Theatre in April of 1991. Miss Saigon is a musical by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alan Menken, with lyrics by Menken and Richard Baldry Jr. Miss Saigon tells the tragic tale of a doomed romance involving an Asian woman abandoned by her American G.I. lover. The song we do— like all survivors, I once thought when I'm home I won't give it down. Oh no, I know I'm caught. I'll never leave Vietnam. Over when it ends, some pictures that leave your mind. They are the faces of the children, the ones we left behind. They're called the dust of life, conceived in hell and born from They are the living reminder of all the good we failed to do. Because we know in our hearts that they are all our children too. These kids hit walls on every side. They don't belong in any place. Their spirit can't hide. It's printed on their face. Painted on their face. I never thought one day I'd plead for half-breeds from a land that's sworn. But then I saw camp for children whose crime was being born. Their holy blood, the dust of life, conceived in hell. And in boarding strife, we owe them fathers and a family, a loving home they never knew. Because we know deep in our hearts that they're all our children too. These are souls in need. They need us to give. Someone has to pay. For the chance to live, help me drive. And bold and strong, we are the fathers and the family, the loving opening of a new door. That they are all our children's.

War of the Roses, Chaucer's Tales, the brutal feudal system, Holy Crusades, bubonic plague, can't say that we've really missed 'em. So dark and barbaric, so dull and mundane, Mama and Christopher Marlowe. Thomas Kidd, Thomas Middleton, Thomas More. And Robert Estor. Joe, he's the bomb, the soul of the age.

In this number, Jodie, the star of Buddy's romantic subplot, has been waiting several hours for Buddy to show up for their date and finally admits that she has been stood up. Mixed up in her feelings, Jovie is angry that she let emotions get in her way and tries to talk herself out of any— of feeling any sort of way towards the goofy and endearing elf. In the end, Buddy saves the spirit of Christmas and, although he is very late, even makes it to the day with Jovie. Grossing over $1 million in one week and being the third best-grossing show in the 2010 Thanksgiving weekend, this is Never Falling The musical. Several hours late, skylines growing dim, while the first death bell falls, you dream of death being him. Narcissism has always been pathetic, I suppose. Guy who stole my credit card, the guy who tried on my clothes. So a row of self-help books lines my bedroom shelf, but there's one All those books forgot you never fall in love with an elf. His endless talk of Christmas Town will test your every nerve. Still, he's kind of cute, I guess. Well, if you grade on a curve, I know you found you never Just look after yourself. You're halfway through a Christmas song called Never Fall in Love with an Elf. The holidays will seem bittersweet while you're alone in bed. But how can one girl ever compete with a magic fat guy in a flying sled? —But it's got everything down there. From here to Philadelphia, the sea is clear as day. You're in for sleepless nights if you date a guy who has a thing for typing. Oh, never fall in love. Never fall in love. Never fall in love. Fall in love with an elf. Here's a Tinkerbell.

Oh, what's a murder in Soho Town? A slayer doesn't mend anything so bad but death. Oh, bye on goodness. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. When I think of the rollicking pleasures that earlier filled my life. Lollymoe, lollymoe. Like the time I beheaded a man who was beating his naked wife. Lollymoe. Long ago, I could still hear his widow say, "Now I'm moving from where she lay. Tell me, what can I do? I beg, sir, of you, your kindness to regain." Oh, I am the Miss Pine. I am the Miss Pine. Let's read. I have been arrested. Arrested! Maiden is evermore impressed. Virgin to wander unmolested. I'm blessed. I'm homeless. Can't resist strength. Oh, why, oh goodness. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? How we roared and groaned in Scotland. The outlaw was ever brave. Yow, in cruel and cold and scorching, yow, if that any passing may, for my heart is still in Scotland, where the lassies woo the best, on some bonnie hill in Scotland, yow, on some one's body, to lie on Scotland by night. Vile scuffling, vile. No one repents for any sin now, vile. The soul is immaculate and true, immaculate. No one is covered with chagrin now, not even old Nick. Death is grim, oh, vile. Virtue, vile.

In the song "The Proposal" and "Night Is a Lie," Shiv Stoker, Fred Barrick, played by Krasner Perkins, has just gotten Shiv's radio man Harold Ryan, played by Gavin Curtis, to agree to help him send a telegraph to his girlfriend back home. It's got to be the right thing, darling. It's not funny, you see. And she said if I wouldn't take her seriously, she knew somebody who would. And I'm not due back for almost 2 weeks yet, so I might as well come straight out with it. I'll be coming back to you, darling. Back to your dark eyes and hair. Marry me when I return, darling. And don't till that day, my Lord. Take care, be thee well. May the Lord who watches all watch over thee. May God's heaven be your blanket as you Softly sleep. Marry me. When you find me in my arms, you plainly see this devoted savior's heart and soul are yours to keep. Yours to keep. Every day from G-M-O-M, good morning old man, to G-N-O-M, good night old man, my telegraph sends its messages to ships at sea. Sending out its dit-dit-dah-dit-dah-dit. Dit-dit-dah-dit-dah-dit. Dit-dit-dah-dit-dah-dit. I was young and shy, detached and sad. Spent my days indoors, a homebound lad. While these folk grew friends, I kept myself to myself. Quite alone. Then I found Marconi's telegraph. It could span the planet's width by half. 50 yards, 2,000 miles, the same touch the spot. Sound the tone, and the night was alive with a thousand voices fighting to be heard. And each and every one of them connected to me. And my life came alive with a thousand voices tapping out each word like a thousand people joined in a single heartbeat. Tapping out, or— Dit, dit, da, dit, da, everywhere. Marry me, to lie your thousand years. May the Lord who watches all watch over thee, and any one of them connect to thee. Marry me, to lie your thousand years. May God have mercy Message received.

Oscar Ray! What a night, what a crowd! Makes you glad! Makes you proud, old Cranford! And all our people are in the spirit of relief, of delight, of amazement! And this tree that blesses to the health— here's a toast! To a prosperous year, to the new chandelier! And may it stand good as a tree! A blessed release from what a posture reigns! A secret engagement? Look, your future bride! Just think of it! But why is it secret? What have we to hide? Please, not lies! We tell no crimes! Lies! An engagement, not a crime! Christine, what are you afraid of? Let's not hide! Must obey. Hide your face so the world will never find you. Must obey. Every face a different shape. Must obey.

The film Waitress was brought to life by a groundbreaking all-female creative team on Broadway in August of 2015. With music— A waitress and expert pie maker, Jenna dreams of a way out of her small town and loveless marriage. Her chance at a fresh start arrives with a baking contest in a nearby county and the town's new doctor, while her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes for happiness. But Jenna must summon the strength and courage to rebuild her own life. In the song "You Matter to Me," Jim, played by Logan Johnson, comforts Jenna, played by Brittany Belnap, in a time of need, reminding her that no matter what happens in life, she matters to someone.

And I'll stay there as long as you'll let me. Because you matter to me. Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody. You matter to me. I promise you do. You matter too. I promise you do. You'll see, you matter. It's a big hit the minute you let yourself think. The things that I say just might matter to someone. All the All this time I've been keeping my mind a-running away.

You won't be— you matter to me. Dear baby, I hope someday when somebody wants to hold you for 20 minutes straight. They don't pull away, they don't look at your face, and they don't try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight. I hope you become addicted, baby. I hope you become addicted to saying things, having them matter to someone. You matter to me. Simple and plain enough to ask from somebody. You matter to me. I promise you good things. I'm right here. Side. As long as you're happy, I promise you do matter to me. You'll see, you matter to me. In the song "Ineffortin' High Music Dance Theater Class," we see the title character Evan struggling with feeling invisible to the eyes of his peers and his crush, especially due to nobody being around to help him after he broke his arm. The song deals with Evan's desire to be known but also afraid to do so, choosing to hide himself instead of showing who he really is. Before I even turn the key, before I make the mistake, before I meet with the worst of me, I give him no reason to stare. No slipping up if you slip away. So I got nothing to share. No, I got nothing to say. Step out, step out of the out of the sun if you keep getting burned. Step out, step out of the sun because you learn, because you learn. On the outside I'll be looking in, will I ever be more than I've always been? 'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass, I'm waving through the window. Trying to speak, but nobody can hear, so I wait around for an answer to appear. Well, I watch, watch, watching people pass, waving to and go. Can anybody see? Is anybody waving back at me? We start with stars and a rise. We start believing that we belong. But every sun doesn't rise. And no one tells you where you belong. Step out, step out of the sun if you keep getting burned. Step out, step out of the sun because you because you learn. On the outside I was looking in, will I ever be more than I've always been? 'Cause I've tapped, tapped, tapping on the glass, waving through the window. I tried to speak but nobody can hear, so I went around for an answer to appear. Well, I watched, watched, watching people pass, waving through the window. Can anybody see? Is anybody waving? When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash or even make a sound? When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash or even make a sound? When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash or even make a sound? When you're falling in the forest and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash or even make a sound? Did I even make a sound? Did I even make a sound? I never made a sound. I never made a sound. On the outside, I'm always looking in. Will I ever be more than I've always been? 'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass, waving through a window. I try to get your attention. I speak but nobody can hear, so I wait around quietly to appear. I watch 10 people pass. I wave in through the window. Can anybody see? Is anybody waving back at me? Is anybody waving? Waving, waving, waving! —written by Mark Sheeran and Scott Levitt, was created as the ultimate song for her character. The number takes place as the cast is getting ready to open for their Boston previews. When you are born with sexy pee in a forest called Hollywood, your father moves and your back door, then that little red riding hood. Now she and her little old grandma could have learned from the men I've dated that a wolf No can be quite a devotee, once he's domesticated. Here's a lesson they should teach in school. When a girl gets curvy and the boys 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. 'Cause I never met a fool who didn't love to hug. I never met a man who wasn't all for love. Who always looks funny, kids. Will that make that teacher the student's pet? Yeah, I never met a wolf who didn't look too hot. You never know where a wolf might crouch, but his natural habitat's the casting couch. So take lots of pictures of the wildlife, pretend the wolf you could share with his wife. If the hunter gets captured by the game, then they'll be on the line for their own hunting. Yeah, I never met a wolf who didn't look too hot. I met a man who was in some love. The place in theater always so big. All of the keys to the studio gate. Yeah, I have met a mofo who did my part. The real nature had it all, but no demon had it that old soul. He's hungry, but we saved him. I said, come on in and I'll put on Sinatra. Oh, thank you. He will be more flexed to buy his toys, but he really is just one of the boys. If you've got something for which he's craving, it sure is good that he's been saving. Be a fan, give his cheek a peck, but get his autograph on a cashiers check. I knew a little boy who didn't love Santa Claus. I knew a little man who wasn't all the Christmassy fun. He lived up most of the crazy This bull looks like he's ready to die. And if you think I might eat you, just take a look at this nose. So don't you underestimate a monster. No, never underestimate a monster. Do you love me, Jack? I don't know how. Do you love me, Jack? You know I really do. If you love me, Jack, you'll never get married. All my senses except for the span when we walk hand in hand. Hmm, night's never lonely, streets are fair. Your shadow follows me everywhere. Tell me it's crazy, else it's grand, 'cause we're still hand in hand. My heart blips while My breath short stops inside me when you're here beside me. There should always be clouds, I'm lonely under the sky. I'm standing still, letting the world fly by. You say you love me and you understand, so say A magic golden band. See, we'll be happy here. Oh, my heart flip-flops, my breath short-stops inside when you're here beside me where you should always be. Clouds are looming in the sky. I'm standing still, let the world fly by. You said you love me and you understand, so say you'll wear a matching wedding band. Yeah, say we'll be happy together. Oh. Oh. And travels on a bus to Tulsa, Oklahoma to be healed. She flashes back often to her childhood injury as well as memories of her and her father. In the song "On My Way," Violet and bus passengers ponder as to where this journey will lead them. You going far? Tulsa, Oklahoma. I've never been. I hear the trees cut nice. Oh my goodness. Of course, my mailman Vincent Pitzer was born with a cleft palate, and he couldn't be any sweeter. I wasn't born with this scar. It took an axe blade to split my face in two. Well, I'm headed to Nashville, the country music capital of the world. My son lives there, works in the cellophane plant. He's got 3 little boys, not old enough to be in school yet. I'm not sure how old We ever have house full of children? It's hot in here. Had 8 children myself. Stevie's the youngest. I lost him in Korea. Oh, he's the only other boy. The girls, of course, are scattered to the winds. They need such beautiful brides. Hope you had a nice visit today. It's not a visit, it's my baby boy. I tell you what though, I know this won't be the only court, and I'm right tired of children. Look at your skin, China white. Tissue thin. Look how the light is clear to the bone. Gives her features a tone. I'd take it any day. Praise God for everyone I meet. Now I, I am on my way. My face has been 80 years worth of tears. Mine's grubby, clean as hers and as wrong. But Jesus, don't wait so long to make my face okay. At last, in North Carolina border, and I— I'm on my way. For another sunrise waits me, before another night is done. I'll find out where this highway takes me. You know I've got to travel on. Left my troubles all behind me. Back there when I climbed up the wall. Jordan River is where you'll find me. No, it's not too high, too far, too cold. As I go in alone, I carry with me all these things that can go wrong. As I travel on Holy holiday. Why did thy folks take care of a lion? His wife thinks I'm a dragonfly. You've got to help me find my way. Too bad we don't see eye to eye, Lord. We could pass the time all day. And as I'm going along, I carry with me Promises that can't go wrong. As I travel on, as I travel on, my best hopes all behind me. And I knock on heaven's fatal door, there is no answer. When Baruchah says, "No!" "These ripples are my problem." When Baruchah says, "Again!" "No matter where or when, we better all count out to 10." "More than that again!" When Baruchah says, "There's no reason not to count to 10." When Baruchah says, "10!" "Well, there's no need to commit genocide." When Baruchah says, "OK!" "You better find a way to make it all a stretch match." "How stretchy be?" Now when she wants to fight, she starts to attack. So I told her, "Then return to your fluffer monkey thrash." "Give each of us one horse and shun them at once, for when Baruchah's happy it's much better for the rabbi." For 40 days and 40 nights the ladies tried to pick it, and always to the music of: "I want a golden ticket! I want a golden ticket!" And then a girl cried out, and in her hand a panacea. The golden ticket on display, and what did sweet Baruchah say? Daddy? Yes? Buy me a Priya? When Baruchah says, "It's like a battle cry!" When Baruchah says, "I like jelly for a spine!" And when Baruchah says, "Please?" I know it was a cheesy porridge. Porridge? No, my cat pie! I know she liked all the sticky gravy. Saying, man, till tomorrow when it all begins again. Lovely, lovely home. Mr. Rogers, have you ever considered running for President of the United States? Well, I'll tell you. This country might be used to having anything at all. Maybe It really isn't fair. Knock knock, I'm working on my chores. Knock knock, the zombie's in my arms. Oh, that sweet affection. What is wrong? Where's the loose connection? How long, how long, how long? Boppy boppy boppy boopy boppy. Impersonate a person better than a zombie should. I can understand a person. If you must go to bed, I could understand a person. —maybe actually instead. Do-do-do-do. It's elusive you, elusive you. Can anybody ever get the juice of you? You're crazy. You're a lovely person. You're a spooky, deep analysis, ain't that to be trusted? Crazy person yourself. Bobby is my Bobby, and I'm living it up. Fall out of trees, weep, whine, whisper, bless, make you sneeze. Someone will look at you just like this. Someone will ask you for a kiss. You're a smart girl, make a fool of somebody. I'm a smart guy, I know that it won't be. We'll see! Oh, Mama, take a second look before you say. Side. I'm a restless small town boy with a heart as loud as a big thunder. Someone will take your hand just like so. Someone will never want to let you go. Someone will put you on a pedestal. Someone will help I'm a young girl and I wanna go dancing. Fun in the pet world with the handsome boy in town. So, but I'm gonna comb that hair and put a clean shirt on. Pick me up at 8. Someone's gonna take me there. I'm gonna have a lot of fun on my very first date. Someone will offer you to walk her home. Someone will want a little time alone. Someone will wait as long as it takes for you. You're a sweet girl. Wrap your man around your pinky. My sweet girl. Heart there's so many dreams I need to see. I will never be alive I will never change. Until I I imagined him too! This twitching isn't my final condition, it's me imagining him! I'm throwing caution to the wind, I'm imagining him as well. I can't imagine what that girl would have felt like dancing with the prince. A lovely night, a lovely night. A fiery knight you know you'll never see. You meet your prince, a charming prince, as charming as a prince will ever be. The stars in the hazy heaven tremble above you while he screams, "Darling, I love you!" You say, Away you fly, but on your lips you keep my kiss. All your life you dream of this lovely, lovely night. Short. Plinky on the forte. Okay. But it's not going to be good. The lovely night I love. A fire knight you know you'll never see. La la la la la la. Who's me? He's your prince. Your prince. A charming prince. As charming as a prince will ever be. La la la la la la la. The stars in the hazy heaven shine all above you while he's whispering, darling, I love you. You say goodbye, away. But I know, and if you keep a kiss, all your life you'll dream of this lovely, lovely night. <LYRICS>He's in heaven, friend, how I love you. While he is whispering, darling, I love you, you say goodbye. Away, baby, fly. But on your lips you keep a kiss. All your life you'll dream of this. Love me, love me.</LYRICS> Mr. Rogers, have you ever considered running for President of the United States? Well, I'll tell you, this country might be used to having anything at all named as a presidential candidate, we have acquired some professional actor stage experience. That's what I said in 1928, folks. Mr. Rogers, you've been invited to speak at the Republican Convention in Kansas City, and you've also been invited to speak at the Democratic Convention in Houston. Oh boy, the Democrats, they always have more fun at their conventions because they know they aren't going anywhere afterwards. So will you run for president or not, Mr. Rogers? I sure will. The day the people took their freedom on. This year, in some case, it'll be on the turrets of the David meeting us to pray for our favorite son. Democrats, Republicans, I'm asking for your vote. I got this need from parties something like so. Don't ask me what my platform is, I leave that stuff alone. 'Cause no one gives so promises as history has shown. Yeah. Hooray! Will you share your life with me for the next 10 minutes? For the next 10 minutes, we can handle that we could watch the waves, we could watch the sky, or just sit and wait as the time ticks by. And if we make it till then, can I ask you again for another 10? And if you in turn agree to the next 10 minutes, and the next 10 minutes, till the morning comes, then just holding you might compel me to ask you for more. There's so many lives I want to share with you. I will never be complete until I do. I am not always on time. Please don't expect that from me. I will be late, but please just wait. I will make it eventually. Not like it's in my control. Not like I'm proud of the fact. But anything other than being exactly on time, I can do. I don't know why people run. I don't know why things go through. I don't understand how anybody survives in this life without someone like you. I can protect and preserve. I can say no and goodbye. But why, Jamie, why? I want to be your wife. I want to bear your child. I want to die knowing I had a long, full life in your arms. That I can't lose. Forever. Sharing her life with me. Forever. The next 10 lifetimes. Forever. Where she goes. Till the world is gone. Till there's no one left who has ever known us apart. There's so many dreams I need to see. How many years I need to be with you. I will never be complete. I will never be alive. I will never change until I I do. I do. I do. I do. I have to. About the founding father Alexander Hamilton was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator of the Tony Award-winning musical In the Heights and Disney's Moana. Hamilton has won 11 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and is currently playing on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. In the song It's Quiet Uptown, Alexander Hamilton, played by Logan Johnson, and Eliza Hamilton, played by Heather Winkler, have just lost their oldest son, Philip. Angelica Schuyler, played by Ariana Madbee, narrates the scene as the Hamiltons move uptown to avoid the chaos and constant political pressure that Hamilton faces. As you can and push away the unimaginable. Moments when you're in so deep, it feels easier to just spin down. A Hamilton who loves down and learns to live with the unimaginable. Spent hours in the garden I walk alone to the store, and it's quiet uptown. We never left quite before. We take the children to church on Sunday. The sign of the cross at the door, and I pray. That never used to happen before. You knock me out, I fall apart. Can you imagine? Look at where we are. Look at where we started. I know I don't deserve you. Little lion's eye. Hear me out. That would be enough. If I could spare his life. If I could trade his life for mine, he'd be standing here right now. He would smile, and that would be enough. I don't pretend to know The challenges we're facing. I know there's no replacing what we've lost, and you need time. I'm not afraid. I know who I married. And if I can stay here by your side, I'll pray enough so Sitting in the street, walking by your side, talking by your side, happy. Do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown. Enjoying the unimaginables, walking in the park, long after dark, taking in the sights of the city. Look around, look around. They are going through the unimaginable. There are moments that the words don't reach. There's a grace too powerful to name. We push away what we can never understand. We push away the unimaginable. They are standing in the garbage. Sends her violin aside. She takes his hand. It's quiet uptown. Forgiveness, can you imagine? Forgiveness, can you imagine?
