The Pirate Queen debuted off-Broadway in 2005, then on Broadway in 2007, with music written by Claude-Michel Chambert and lyrics by Alain Boublil, Richard Mulvey Jr., and John Dempsey. It is based on Morgan Llewellyn's historical fiction Bronya: She-King of the Irish Seas about the life and adventures of chieftain and pirate Grace O'Malley. The show is set in 16th century Ireland where a clan of pirates led by Deirdre Dora O'Malley while they ran on the seas. His daughter Grace dreams of being a sailor despite her father telling her it can't be done, that a woman on board is bad luck. Grace, played by Mackenzie Gunther, expresses her frustrations with a childhood sweetheart about being a woman in a world full of men who want to keep her ashore.
Now presenting the song "Woman." What does woman mean? Must my dreams face scorn, held back and unseen? If I long for fire, must it stay unreal? Can I not desire? Am I not to feel? If I like to taste, am I not to try? If my heart says sail, why must I deny? I have my dreams, I have made plans, I see horizons wider than the land. Must I be nothing till I'm some man's wife? Look at this face, does it deceive? To file a mate, to milk and to weave. I will be damned to hell if that is my life. Blasphemy, I know, forgive me. But I won't take it back, I won't. I'm almost your age. I'm your match in size. I'm best skilled with swords. And equal in most eyes. But when you have a dream and your heart is gripped, you can climb from a ship. You can, you can. For your land, you can restore that place where the earth meets the sky. Fight a battle, be brave, be true. If you can do it, why not I? Why is my mind restrained? Why is my free will in chains? And not my appetite? Before I die, I should be free. Free to be Grace. I want to feel the wind on my face and the night that has ice to go. Face out the storm, not stay below. Am I to be dead? Woman, no, not I.
The Scarlet Pimpernel is about Percy, played by Tanner Sellers, and his quest to save innocents from the guillotine. He takes on the disguise of the Scarlet Pimpernel, a masked hero in vigilante. He convinces his closest friends, played by the MDT men, to take on the disguise in the song "The Creation of Man." Percy is teaching the men how to dress elegantly to arrest the Prince of Wales, who is growing suspicious of the Pimpernel.
Gentlemen, our duty is not to rush into battle, but to rush to the tailor! People, save me! Make me stuff! How the set of boys love to flaunt their tails! Stallions, hop, sir, hop, sir, stomp! Goosey abigail, so much gender is in rider, sir! To render formal panels of the splendorous salons! But Percy, I cannot be seen to blouse about pinching your party. Whatever we must do to deflecting the suspicions, we shall do. And in this case, it is to shiver. Be an example to your sex. Give those boobs a dap of strap. And it's smarter if your garter has some snap. Come on, To be flounced about often. Wear a nightcap when you nap. Bewitch you with some stitching on your cap. Now, drape your cape and puff your cuff. Embroider those lapels. Be the king of the beast in pastel. Love of someone has to strike upon that level. Wait a moment and close And that is why the Lord created man. You're a Nico-poo, baby! Why, thank you, sir! Always sending the dressing to the women! Let me be a woman! Throw on a tunic! Bare the legs! Take me! The man has lost his senses!
Bare legs!
We must convince all of England that we are indeed Nico-poos! Shut up! More, sir! This is due! Give the cock his corn and the hens will have! A full more, sir! One full round of the nanny-goat and Billy, sir, whose beard is fully woolly, sir, with woolly clothes of Billy, for he's Billy Game Man! Ah! You're the male animals, Dashwood wolves, robins, red-breasts, moose, with asthma, sir. You can get away with this, but for the rest of us, sir, The lion-hearted brave fills pots of looms with light. I could dangle down a spangle out of sight. Oh yes, be bold, sir! Of course, that all that may be. Draw your breeches in quite tight. Even more so when your torso will ignite. Now smock your frocks. Up the uniball! Now let my wings go swing. And the jungle will bow to its king. But someone has to strive, oppose and bear, away the words and the clothes. That is why the Lord created man. Yes, that is why the Lord created man. Gentlemen, remember what we're here for. One must be dressed to kill. If we have to look like Cleopatra, then we will. If you're out to make a splash, Jerry, do go. You'll have a dashing bunch of buckles, ruffles, and lace to represent. The human race. Love, but someone has to strike, oppose, and bear the weight of wealth and the clothes. Each species needs a sex that's fated to be high be decorated. That is why the Lord created man.
And directed and choreographed by Michael Bennett, opened on Broadway in July of 1975. In Afro-Ballet, Sheila, played by Ari Curtis, Bebe, played by Mariah White, and Maggie, played by Ellie Lawson, explain their experiences with their troubled family lives and their escape through dance.
No matter how dark the rest of their world seems, they always feel happy, beautiful, and engaged with ballet.
Well, let's face it, my old scene wasn't good. Daddy always thought that he married beneath him. That's what he said, that's what he said.
When he proposed, he informed my mother he was probably her very last chance.
And though she was 22, though she was 22, though she was 22. She married him. Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic, more like a come-as-you-are. When I was 5, I remember my mother dumping rings out of the car. I knew that they weren't hers, but it wasn't something you'd want to discuss. He wasn't warm.
Well, not to her.
Well, not to us.
But everything was beautiful at the ballet. Graceful men and lovely girls in white. Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet. as pretty as the valley up steep a very narrow stairway to the voice like a natural up steep and very narrow stairway it wasn't paradise. It wasn't paradise, but it. It wasn't paradise, but it was home. Mother always said I'd be very attractive when I grew up, when I grew up. Different, she said, with a special something and a very, very personal flair. And though I was 8 or 9, though I was 8 or 9, Though I was 8 or 9, I hated her. Now, different is nice, but it sure isn't pretty. Pretty is what it's about. I never met anyone who was different. Who could figure that out? So beautiful, I'll never live to see. But it was clear, if not to her, well then to me, that everyone is beautiful at the ballet. Every prince has got to have his one. Yes, everyone is beautiful at the ballet. as pretty as the valley. Up steep and very narrow stairway to the voice like a metronome. Up steep and very narrow stairway.
Wasn't paradise.
It wasn't paradise. It wasn't paradise. But it I don't know what they were for, our kids, really, except each other. I mean, I was born to save their marriage. But when my father came to pick my mother up at the hospital, he said, well, I thought this was going to help, but I guess it's not. Anyway, I did have a fantastic fantasy life. He used to dance around the living room with my arms up like this. My fantasy was that I got a Ninja Chief and he'd say to me, "Maggie, do you want to dance?" And I'd say, "Daddy, I'd love to dance." It wasn't until she would say, "Haggy, do you want to dance?" And I'd say, "Daddy, I'd love to." Everything was beautiful at the ballet. Raise your arms so adorable. Always there. Everything was beautiful at the ballet, at the ballet, at the ballet. Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet.
I'm so pretty.
I'm happy. I love you. At the ballet.
And Bjorn Ulliväs with lyrics by Tim Rice. Chess is about a love triangle between two grandmasters, with a woman being the manager of one player as she falls in love with the other.
We now present Quartet from Chess. Of use perfectly clear. We're here for chess. Are the U.S.? If so, why foul the atmosphere?
I must protest.
Our delegation has a hard time with the rules.
We think that their players are acting as if we are all prisoners. After all, when we see a move, we see a move. The goal is to understand the rules.
It's not the player's fault if we overlook their move.
Believe it or not, it's often just a stubborn heave.
Jesus love it out of me. We wish no more discussion of nasty, compelling, perfect disputes. Call we're here all for chess, castle, and suspicion. My opposition is such a grapefruit.
I don't suppose he'll understand a string of words forgetting where he's come from.
NYU's graduate musical theater writing program. She has now been able to work on and off Broadway. In 2012, in collaboration with Sara Underwood, a heartfelt song was written for the not-yet-realized show Action Park, in which Jerry, played by Sam Cooper, a socially awkward young man, finally gets up the courage to ask his crush to go on a ride home together in No One Goes to an Amusement Park Alone.
Come on, Sally, let's go ride the log flume.
The log flume? Pretty awesome.
Sorry, it's only 2 to a log.
2 to a log, can't fit 3, no room for for my company. It makes perfect sense. I should have known, honey. No one goes to an amusement park alone. Side by side, they're in the air, and I'm stuck playing. Being solitary. Did I hear a voice? Nope, just my own. No one goes to an amusement park alone. Maybe flying solo is not so bad. There's the time to self-reflect. I can stop or go or sit right. Yeah, 'cause there's no one to object. I can ride the highest coaster and not worry about my hair. And there's no one to be brave for when I scream into the air. This is awesome! Oh my gosh! Isn't this— Oh, to ride this ride, you must be this tall. What can I ride when I feel this small? There's so much to see with nothing to be showed here at this amusement park.
The novel written by Louisa May Alcott, the Broadway production opened at the Virginia Theatre in 2005. This show is about 4 sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March, portraying their lives from childhood to womanhood. In the second act, we find Beth saying goodbye to Jo, telling her that she is not afraid to move on because she has been blessed to have great family and great friends. She then shares that even if she moves on, Jo needs to keep on The women of MDT proudly present "Some Things Are Meant to Be." Let's imagine we're flying through the air.
We must dance until we're outside. Light as paper, we'll soar. Let's be wild by ourselves. Feel the wind. The world at our command, to enjoy anew as never then, floating far from the shore. When things are meant to be, clouds will be past and green, the sun on a silver —see a sky that's bright and blue, and something somewhere around, thrill of our magic cry, up and feel the sky for you. We'll climb high beyond the break of day, Sleep on starry dust and dine on leaves of dew. You and I will find a milky way. We'll be glad and explore. We'll recall when I heard the lullaby on the breeze. Join the blue star above. Sail on with the breeze. Pass the days to be bold as bees. That's what living is for. To me. I dream and I see the way it takes hold of me no matter what I do. And some things will never die, once those who are memories and I far from you. All my life I will live for loving you.
Bless me, Lord, now Evan Drew is an interactive musical written by Rupert Lyons based off unfinished novel of the same name written by Charles Dickens.
It's a classic whodunit murder mystery with a twist of multiple endings. The end murderer is determined by the audience vote, then the cast and crew finish the show accordingly. The song "Both Sides of the Coin" is a duet involving one of the suspects, John Jasper, played by Mikey Bro, and the mayor, Thomas Sapsky, played by Noah Hilger.

Maybe I've lost it at last. Maybe my last lucid moment has passed. I'm dancing with death, I suppose. Could really know. Could be I'm crazy to go. They say you should stay with the dead. Devil you know. But when life needs a change and the one devil won't, you fly to the devil you don't. Maybe I'm tired of of coming up short of the rules of the shame. And maybe you feel that way too. I see me in you, a hopeful of anchor and hope. A girl with a mother who just couldn't go. A girl who felt caught and thought no one could see. But maybe one day she'll be free. It's so lovely that you're sharing No, really, I'm all ears. But where has all this caring been for 16 years? For all the years I prayed that you'd go away for good. At the time, afraid that you really were. When I thought you might be dying, I cried for all We never— but there'll be no more crying. Not for me, not for me. You'll see, not for me. You'll see, not for justice, not for justice. Maybe we can't be okay, but maybe we're tough and we'll try anyway. We'll live with what's real. Let go —of what's past. And maybe I'll see you at last. We tried to give you a normal life, but I realize now I have no clue what that is. I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Yeah, something next to normal, that's the thing I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

I'm so happy! That little red-haired girl dropped her pencil. It has teeth marks all over it. She nibbles her pencil. She's human! I guess today hasn't been such a bad day after all. Happiness is finding a pencil.
Heats up a sausage. Having a good time.
Happiness is learning a whipple. Tying your shoe for the very first time.
Happiness is playing the drum in your own hand.
And happiness is walking hand in hand. Happiness is two kinds of ice cream.
Knowing a secret.
Climbing a tree. Happiness is 5 different crayons catching a firefly, setting him free. Happiness is being alone every now and then. And happiness is coming home again. Happiness is morning and evening, daytime and nighttime too, for happiness is anyone and anything at all that's loved by you. You. Happiness is having a sister, sharing a sandwich, getting up.
Happiness is singing together when day is through. And happiness is The stars to sing with you. Happiness is morning and evening, daytime and nighttime too.
For happiness is anyone and anything at all.
That's loved by you.
You're a good man, Charlie Brown.

Wicked tells the story of Glinda and Elphaba, who struggle with their opposing viewpoints and personalities, yet form an unlikely bond. Elphaba struggles with power show and is later known as the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda becomes the Good Witch, making them natural enemies in the end. Wicked opened on Broadway at the Gershwin Theatre in October of 2003. This past year, it has become Broadway's 7th longest-running musical and the 8th longest-running show. And this next song, Elphaba, played by Gabby Bergstrom, has just learned that her special powers she has may allow her to work with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, something that she has dreamed of. This song embodies anticipations and ambitions that Elphaba has a working within.
This is The Wizard of Oz.
Did that really just happen? Have I actually understood? This weird quirk I've tried to suppress or hide is a talent that could help me meet the wizard. If I make good choices, so I'll make good choices.
When I meet the wizard, once I've proved my worth.
And then I meet the wizard, what I've waited for since, since birth. And with all his wizard wisdom, by my looks he won't be blinded. Do you think the wizard is dumb? Or like a much-kin so small I didn't know. He'll say to me, I see who you truly are, a girl on whom I can rely. And that's how we'll begin, the wizard and I. Once time with the wizard, my whole life will change. Cause once you're with the Wizard, no one thinks you're strange. No father is not proud of you, no sister acts ashamed. And all of us have to love you by the Wizard you're claimed. And this gift or this curse I have inside, maybe it lasts till no one knows. When we were hand in hand, the wizard and I. And one day he'll say to me, Alpha, a girl who is so superior, shouldn't a girl who's so good inside have a matching exterior? This is hoax here to an absurd degree, see you fixated on your Birdie Green, would it be all right by you if I did Green if I could? Of course, that's not going to be the—
All right, why not?
I'll reply, oh, what a pair we'll be, the Wizard and I. It's what a pair will be. The wizard and unlimited. My future is unlimited, and I just had a vision, almost like a prophecy. I know it sounds truly crazy, and true, the vision is hazy. But I swear someday there'll be a celebration throughout Oz. That's all to do with me. And I'll stand there with the Wizard, feeling things I've never felt. And though I never shall I'd be so happy I could melt. And so it will be for the rest of my life, and I'll want nothing else till I die. Held in such high esteem, when people see me they will scream for Half-Blood's favorite team, Gryffindor!

Hunger down and this faint light. I've been waiting here forever, praying on a change that never came. But someone somewhere far away has built us all a better day. He did shine. Something deep inside of me says nothing's ever going to be the same. 'Cause when I look to the stars, what once was a wall is now a door to everything I've been waiting for. Way past me And Mars. When I look to the stars, the whole world can't see what I can see. I'm right on the edge of history when I look to the stars. Freaks across the sky, tiny beacon blazing by a satellite. Showing us what we can do, with no one else around here, we could. Suddenly I understand my moment is arriving and I swear tonight, reaching past this atmosphere will be my ticket out of here for good. Cuz when I look to the stars, they're closer than they have ever seemed. To all of the kids who ever dreamed, now the future is ours. When I look to the stars, I learn all the things I used to know, to get me as far as I can go. I look to the stars, I will pledge myself to it. I will learn how to fly. I don't know how I'll do it. But I will try. By God, I'll try. 'Cause when I look to the stars, I no longer feel so all alone. With dreams I can hold but never own. Just a glimpse through the bars. I'm gonna shoot for the stars. Poor Colin Keaton has joined the race. I like to hear all from outer space. 'Cause I will get to the stars. I will get to the stars.

Princess complex rule number 23: we're princesses, we never eat. I run 10 miles day. I've never tasted a milky way. I had some ribs removed last week. Skip every breakfast buffet. Fly a restaurant to Africa and back. I take my Yoga is just sweat on each nap. Yoga? I haven't eaten since yesterday because I'm told to keep my waistline shrinking. But I just can't stop thinking about it. All I want to do is eat a burger. All I wanna do is eat Even though princesses are told to stay, I know that he can't. I know that you can't keep me from being there. All I want to do is teach. All I want to do is eat. I know just who I am. Day. I almost— just to fit in these— and I suck at— just last week— cuz we're chilling, keeping our metabolism pumping, keep those extra pounds dropping. But I just can't help stopping to think, all I want to do is eat pumpkin pie.

Amelie decides to devote her life to helping the people around her, yet she later realizes she needs to seek after her needs and the love she has always dreamed of.
I was working in the circus with my boyfriend. I was flipping for all the high trapezes. I'd fly up and he'd always catch me. Everything was going perfect in the circus until the day he dropped me and then dropped me for the tent. To a lady. She broke her leg instead. In facing— I said— watched the taxi lady take her place and lost my job, lost my way, till at last I bought this cafe. It seems that every single guy that I know has another lady on the side. You know our girls are fragile eggs. Don't you break her heart or right, don't you? I met a plumber on the Metro with a tool belt. He was kind of bald but good with me and fixed my leaky radiator.

It seems that every single guy that strolls by Doesn't stop until he controls my every thought, every move. Are you just the same? Can you prove that you, you are a lover for the ages?

Here is her number and address. Amelie— no, she's not in the bathroom. I lied. She's probably at her computer. There you go.
All good now.

Out, and it's in the 9th, and the score is 4 to 3. There's a man on first and a man at bat, and the man at bat is me, and I'm so scared, but I'm so crown, and I'm stronger than I seem.

My dad is there. It's what he calls dreaming. Watch the ball fly to the sun as it sails Off as I run, the crowd is roaring, cheering as I go, soar all the guys on the team. And I run for home and leave in the game, but what you call a dream The summer sun shines like diamonds. The summer sun shines like diamonds. The summer sun In a baseball sky shines like diamonds.

Broadway in 2013. Young Monty Barlow, played by Gavin Curtis, is a penniless clerk who is informed after the death of his mother that he is in line to inherit the Earldom of Highhurst, controlled by a very wealthy banking family. Monty is also trying to woo the money-minded Isabella Hallward, played by Rob Bagley, until he also finds himself drawn to young Phoebe Dycewyd, played by Sarah Jane Hale.
Now, I've decided to marry you. What was that? I haven't the foggiest. Quickly, into the bedroom.
Worked on my intuition. I needed to see you. I see you today.
Listen to my heart, listen to my heart.
I have arrived at a stunning conclusion. I'm not going anywhere. I've known this one for so long, and if I didn't come, would I ever get to say?
I decided to marry you.
I decided to marry you. I decided to marry you. You saw that life goes on for me. I have never lived off the moon, but the weather might not please you. Though it's true it's fine when you stroke this tree, unless I will marry you. I confess that I'd like to too, but unless I will know you live for love as much as I. This is quite unconventional, I admit, but why should I better omit? And if you do not say yes, that's when I think I'll die.
This dice with you rendered me completely speechless. May I call you thief?
What am I doing here? This could be dangerous. If I was found, would you imagine the scandal? And I couldn't handle scandal, so I ran away. But what's going on in there? I can hear voices. I recognize Monty. But if that's a woman, and if that's a woman, then what is she doing here? Is it that cousin I was trying to see? If it's that cousin, it might be business. It's family business and none of my business. Is it this one? Is it she, darling? This is quite an investment, is it not? A rather return on the flush. A soul like me, a feeble thing. Why, if you say we can have a baby, why, we'll all stay, I think, upright. What was that? That was my thunder.
That was my thunder. Nothing, it's just my new manservant, he's finding his way about. I'll be with you in a moment. What, what? Listen to the snaps, you'll see how much of the time he ruined it all. One in the parlor, one in the bedroom, nothing between but me and a wall like a thief. No one admires my speech, for only prose. But when I'm with Phoebe, I will find the beauty of Isabella. Full of desire, passion, and dare I say it, love. But when I'm with Isabella, whom do I admire? None but Phoebe, perfect and lovely. Who couldn't love her? Heaven knows. Round and round and round it goes. How happy I am to be at this school.
My Is the tragic story of two star crossed lovers who couldn't be together due to a gay rivalry that kept them apart.

Funny how you walked in here assuming I'd come back. Well, let me tell you one thing, you are way off track. Can't you see I'm different? Are you still that blind? No, stand right there and take it. There's no love to hide behind. Well, I'm pretty proud to tell you I'm really doing I'm sure a whole lot better than you ever thought I would. Got my own place, my own space to think and dream. And it took me this long to realize I do not need a man. I used to need you. But then I finally learned I used to want you, but now the tables turn. I used to love you, now it's your time to twerk. 'Cause I'm saying goodbye and I won't wait for your return. So get out and stay out, I finally had enough. Kiss me on your way out, it wouldn't move me much. You used me, abused me, you cheated and lied. So get out and stay out, I'm taking back my life. I wonder what you'll do when I'm not around. Now that your new love has often let you down, you always come crying to me throughout the years to mend another broken heart, to dry your selfish tears. So get out and stay out. I finally had enough. Oh, I've been so foolish, but that was in the past. I never thought I'd be the one saying goodbye. So get out and stay out. I'm taking back my life. Dreams are in the making. Success is out there for the taking. Wish it was as simple as it sounds. I have no choice, I have to do it. Face the future, walk into it. Now that I am better and you're bad. Get out and stay out. I finally had enough. Don't kiss me on your way out. It wouldn't move me much. You used me, abused me. You cheated and lied. So get out and stay musical opened November 14, 2016.
In the song "You Will Be Found," Evan Hansen, played by Noah Hilger, a young high schooler who struggles with an anxiety disorder, sings about being lonely and how one friendship can change it all.
Have you ever felt like nobody was there? Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere? Have you ever felt like you could disappear? Like you could fall and no one would hear? So let that lonely feeling wash away. Maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay. 'Cause when you don't feel strong enough to stand, you can reach out your hand. And oh, someone will come running, and I know they'll take you home. Even when the dark comes crashing through, when you need a friend to carry you, when you're broken on the ground, you will be found. So let the sun come streaming in, 'cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again. Lift your head and look around, you will be found. You will be found. You will be found. You will be found. You will be found.
Oh, someone will come running to take you home, take you home, take you home, take you home. Even when the dark comes passing through. When you need a friend to carry you, when you're broken on the ground, you will be found. So let the sun stream it in, 'cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again. If you only look around, you will be found.
You will be found.
You will be. Out of the shadows, the morning is breaking, and all is new, all is new. It's filling up the empty. Suddenly I see that all is new. All is new. You are not alone. You are not alone. You are not alone. You are not alone.
You are not alone.
You are not alone. You are not— you are not alone. Even when the darkness crashes through, when you need someone to carry you, when you're broken on the ground, you will be found. 'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again if you only look around. You will be found when the darkness crashes down.
You will be proud.
You will be proud.
You will be proud. You will be proud.
