Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland
How do you get to Wonderland?
Over the hill or underland
Or just behind the tree?

When clouds go rolling by
They roll away and leave the sky
Where is the land beyond the eye
That people cannot see
Where can it be?

Where do stars go?
Where is the crescent moon?
They must be somewhere
In the sunny afternoon

Alice in Wonderland
Where is the path to Wonderland?
Over the hill or here or there?
I wonder where

Look, ev’rybody!  It’s a circus!

All the world starts spinning upside down,

when the circus comes to town!

Oh, we’ll all get carried away.

We’ll declare a new holiday!

We’ll all shout “Hooray!”

We’ll laugh and play, 

When the circus comes our way!

Count the elephants one by one.

All the clowns are havin’ fun!

They fly with ease up on the high trapeze.

If a lion gets loose we’ll have to run!

Ahhh!

When the circus comes to our town,

ev’rybody acts like a clown!

All the world starts spinning upside down,

when the circus comes to town!

(spoken solo)

Hey, ev’rybody! It’s a circus band!

(Circus band plays kazoos)

Walk the tightrope up in the air.

Down below, the people stare.

You lose your grip and then you just might slip,

And the crowd below gets quite a scare!

‘

He’s O.K.!

(all sing)

Oh, we’ll get carried away.

We’ll declare a new holiday!

It’s a circus day today.

Hooray!

#2 WHO WANTS TO BE THE RINGMASTER?

Let’s hear a song from the Ringmaster.

Sing out wherever you are!

Ahhhhhh!!!

Solo: I want to be the one who sings. 

I already have the  hat!

I can do all those amazing things, but I sing just a little bit flat! 

Ahhhhh!!!!!

Solo 2: I know that  I can take you far by singing beneath this tarp. It’s very clear, I should be a star,

 So what if my note’s a bit sharp?

Ah____!!!!!

Who wants to be the Ringmaster?

Who wants to be the star?

#3 The Mane Event

I’m a lion and I like to prowl, 

and at times I prefer to scowl!

Now I’m the king of ev’rything.

Listen to my growl. (growl)

I’m a cat with powerful claws around here, 

I make the laws

I’m the “mane” event in the circus tent. 

I’m the original “jaws!”

I’m a lion, a mighty lion, 

Fast and fierce and more. 

No denyin’ no dandelion, 

Listen to me roar! (roar)

Solo 1: (Spoken)

No I’m the king of this circus, 

So there’s somethin’ I want you to know: 

When I say, “Do it, “ you hop right to it!

And do it good and fast, not slow!

Solo 2: (Spoken)

You see, I’m a jungle beast. 

A king, to say the least!

So do my bidding, now I’m not kidding

Or you might be a royal feast!

I’m a lion, a mighty lion, 

Fast and fierce and more. 

No denyin’ no dandelion, 

Listen to me roar! (roar) (roar) (roar)

#4 Clowning Around

Clowning around, clowning around, 

Never really knowing if we’re lost or we’re found!

Running ‘round in circles like a merry-go-round, 

Here we are clowning around!

What a laugh! What a gas!

We’re riffraff! Got no class!

We’ll take any gag and run it into the ground, 

Here we are clowning around!

Clowning around, clowning around, 

Never really knowing if we’re lost or we’re found!

Running ‘round in circles like a merry-go-round, 

Here we are clowning around!

Watch us run! What a hoot!

Aren’t we fun? Aren’t we cute?

We’ll take any gag and run it into the ground, 

Here we are clowning, 

Now nobody’s frowning, 

now here we are clowning around

Clowning around, clowning around, 

Never really knowing if we’re lost or we’re found!

Running ‘round in circles like a merry-go-round, 

Here we are clowning around, 

Now nobody’s frowning, now, 

here we are clowning around!

YEAH!

(#5)SAD CLOWN

Solo: I’m Just a little sad clown . 

I’m feeling a little bit down. 

While other clowns make ‘em roll in the aisles, 

I can’t even make ‘em just give me a smile

All: Sad Clown, a sad clown

Feeling oh so blue. 

Sad clown, a sad clown. 

What in the world can we do?

Oh, what in the world can we do?

Why nobody wants her/him sad autograph, 

She can’t even make a hyena laugh

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high

There's a land that I heard of

Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream

Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow

Why then, oh, why can't I?

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow

Why then, oh, why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why can't I?

This the scene that will be used for evaluation. Please practice reading through the scene. Please understand that reading from this scene does  not mean you are  trying out for these characters. We are looking for expression,  stage presence,  and being prepared.  The scene does not need to be memorized.

ALADDIN LYRICS (FOR PRACTICE PURPOSES)

Arabian Nights

Genie: Oh, I come from a land, from a far away place 

where the caravan camels roam. 

Where its flat and immense and the

Heat is intense. It’s barbaric, but hey, it’s home. 

When the wind’s from the east, 

and the sun’s from the west, 

And the sand in the glass is right, 

come on down, stop on by, hop a carpet and fly

to another Arabian night!

Agrabahn Group singing: 

Follow us to a place where incredible feats

are routine ev’ry hour or so . 

Where enchantments run rampant, gets wild in the streets.

Open Sesame! Here we go! 

Agrabahn Group singing:

See the dervish dances in the ridiculous pants,

then romance to your hearts delight

Come on down, come on in! Let the magic begin!

It’s another Arabian night!

Arabian Nights, like Arabian days,

More often than not are hotter than hot

In a lotta good ways. 

Arabian nights, ‘neath Arabian moons…

A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard out there on the dunes. 

Genie: (spoken)Now you know what Agrabah is famous for right? The lamp…(reveals a lamp) Don’t be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts

(10 Measure interlude)

Agrabahns: Arabian Nights, Arabian Nights

Genie: (spoken) You see, Agrabah is a city where penniless nobodies...(Aladdin appears and freezes) …can turn out to be a noble somebody! Even his pals…(Babkak, Omar and Kassim appear by Aladdin and freeze. Genie gives a dubious look.) …are thick as thieves. 

(4 measure interlude)

All: Arabian Nights! Arabian Night!

(Jasmine and Sultan appears and freeze) 

Genie: (spoken) Agrabah is a place where a princess would give up her crown for true love. Except that her father, the Sultan, is a stickler for the ancient ways. 

Agrabahns: Arabian Nights! Arabian Night!

(Jafar and Iago appear and freeze.) 

Genie: (spoken) Here it’s wise to watch your step, for danger lurks around every corner. But most importantly, Agrabah is a place where everybody sings!

(5 measure interlude)

All: Arabian Nights, like Arabian days,

More often than not are hotter than hot

In a lotta good ways. 

Arabian nights, ‘neath Arabian moons…

A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard out there on the dunes. 

Arabian nights! Arabian Nights! 

Arabian nights Arabian Nights! Arabian nights!

ONE JUMP AHEAD

Kassim, Babkak, Omar: Gotta keep - one jump ahead of the breadline, 

One swing ahead of the sword. 

Aladdin: I steal only what I can’t afford. 

Omar: And that’s everything!

Beggars : One jump ahead the lawmen.That’s all, and that’s no joke. 

Kassim, Babkak, Omar, Aladdin: These guys don’t appreciate we’re broke. 

Guard 1: Riff- Raff!

Guard 2: Street Rat!

Razoul: Scoundrel!

Guards: Take that!

(Babkak, Omar, and Kassim exit to escape the Guards, leaving Aladdin alone. )

Aladdin: (holds up bread)Just a little snack, guys 

Guard 1: Rip him open

Guard 3: Take it back, guys

Aladdin: I can take a hint, gotta face the facts. 

I could use a friend or two (Aladdin slips through a group of beggars.) 

Beggars: True!---Oh, it’s sad Aladdin’s hit the bottom

He’s become a one man rise in crime. 

Beggar 1: I’d blame parents, ‘cept he hasn’t got ‘em.

Aladdin: Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat. Tell you all about it when I got the time!

One jump ahead of the hit men. One hit ahead of the flock. 

I think I’ll take a stroll around the block. 

Razoul: Stop, thief!

Apple Vendor: Vandal!

Guard 1: Outrage!

Guard 2: Scandal!

Aladdin: Let’s not be too hasty. 

(A fortune teller grabs Aladdin just as the Guards are about to pounce.)

Fortune Teller: Still,I think he’s rather tasty. 

Aladdin: Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat. Otherwise we’d get along

Agrabahns: Wrong!

Kassim, Babkak, Omar, Aladdin: One jump ahead of the hoofbeats

Agrabahns: Vandal!

Kassim, Babkak, Omar, Aladdin:One hop ahead of the hump

Agrabahns: Street Rat!

Kassim, Babkak, Omar, Aladdin:One trick ahead of disaster. 

Agrabahns: Scoundrel!

Aladdin:They’re quick, but I’m much faster

Agrabahns: Take that!

Aladdin: Here goes, better throw my hand in, wish me happy Landin’. All I gotta do is jump!---------------(Aladdin leaps out of sight)

PARENT VOLUNTEER LETTER

September 18th, 2022

Dear 5th Grade Parents:

This year, we are very excited to present ‘Aladdin’ the musical  as the 5th grade performance at Bridge Point.  Your children are already rehearsing the music in class, and we cannot wait to present this beloved story to the Bridge Point community!

However, we cannot turn the cafeteria into Arabian marketplace and a mystical Desert all by ourselves. Every year, it takes a team of parent volunteers to create the magical world on the stage, and we need your help!  If you love being creative, have an artistic flair and some time on your hands, we would love to have your assistance in the following areas:

• Set design and set pieces

• Prop gathering

• Costume help

• Program design/layout

• Snacks/ Dinner before Parent Performance show

• Parent Performance Day- Parent Volunteers for after school care

We will have a parent volunteer meeting to discuss the various needs of the show, and at that time we will assign specific roles to people who are willing to help. We cannot shoulder this process alone, so please consider coming to the meeting to join in the fun! Here is the meeting information: The meeting is in person or on zoom

WHEN: Tuesday, September 27th   

WHERE: Music Room (501)  or Zoom Meeting https://eanesisd.zoom.us/j/7765048704

TIME: 11:00-11:30am

We truly hope that you will be able to join us. We cannot do this show without your assistance, and we will be so grateful for whatever time/talent you can donate.

Your children deserve an amazing show, and that can only happen with your help!

Thank you so much for your support and consideration!

We look forward to seeing you there!

Sincerely, 

Patience Jones &Anna Schermerhorn

SPEAKING PART FOR EVALUATION : 

Kassim: So, what did you steal this time?

Aladdin: Steal? I don’t know what you’re talking about, Kassim. 

Babkak: Come on, Aladdin. You’ve taught us every swindle we know.

Omar: Babka’s right. You’re the best thief this side of the River Jordan.

Aladdin: That’s all behind me now, Omar. I promised my parents before they died I’d never steal again. 

Kassim: (pulls a loaf of bread out of Aladdin’s satchel) So what’s this?

Aladdin: (grabs the bread back) Food doesn’t count. A guy’s gotta eat. 

Omar: Maybe we should all clean up our act. Every time I pick a pocket, I feel awful.

Babkak: Falafel? Did somebody say falafel?

Kassim: The way I see it, we’re just stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. It just so happens that we’re the poor. 

Aladdin: I don’t know, Kassim. When people see me, I don’t want the first thing they think to be “thief”.

Kassim: People don’t think that.

I’m A Believer

I thought love was only true in fairy tales

Meant for someone else, but not for me

Love was out to get me

That's the way it seemed

Disappointment haunted all my dreams

CHORUS: 

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer

Not a trace, of doubt in my mind

I'm in love, I'm a believer

I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a givin' thing

The more I gave, the less I got, oh yeah

What's the use in tryin'

All you get is pain

When I wanted sunshine, I got rain

CHORUS: 

And then I saw her face, now I'm a believer

Not a trace, of doubt in my mind

Now I'm a believer, I believe, I believe,I believe

I believe

I believe

I believe

I’m a believer!

Believe,

TRAVEL SONG

Donkey: Ooo! I got the perfect rhyme for that!

SHREK: Oh no, I’m not interested-

Donkey: Sing a song. 

Yes, a travel song when ya gotta go somewhere cause the fun is gettin’ there.

Yeah. 

Spoken:(Oh what the heck, I must confess I love a road trip!) 

(Shrek knew this would happen. The landscape tolls by over the following….)

All:Sing a song! 

Hit the trail Forget the maps.

Forget the guides 

Before ya know it, 

You’ve made strides with me.

And I know, all I need all along is a path and a pal and a song. 

So I’m singing and I’m pallin’ with you . 

Donkey: (spoken)See? It makes the time go by faster!

Shrek: Why me? Why me? Tell me, what was my crime?

Donkey: We are strollin’

Shrek: As chatty as a parrot, more annoying than a mime (puss in boots walks by) 

Donkey: Hey look, a cat who’s wearin’ boots! That’s crazy! 

Shrek: Why me? Why me?  A simple answer would be fine

Donkey: You know, this is good cardio. 

Shrek: Won’t someone please send me a sign?

Donkey: Oh, look a sign! 

Yunita Pal Avenue straight ahead. (The sign appears and exits.)

Shrek: What did I do deserve this? Honestly This donkey of mine is asinine. Why me? 

Donkey: Oh man, what could be better than this?! 

SUNG AT THE SAME TIME

Shrek: Why me? Why me? 

A simple answer would be fine 

Won’t someone please send me a sign?

What did I do to deserve this? 

Honestly This donkey o mine is asinine. 

Why am I with you?

seven phases 

Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum 

Farquaad: Things are looking up here in Duloc

All: They’re looking up!

Farquaad: In Duloc

All: The ladies all look swell

the men are so dashing

Thanks to his new dress code.

The fashions never clashing. 

Hey nanny nanny nanny no. 

This castle he had built is taller than the cliff tops. 

A city like a postcard with a monorail and gift shops! 

And so

And so

And so…

And so 

And so…

Farquaad: No one from the gutter in Duloc. 

ALL: He’s taking aim!

Farquaad: Embrace the cookie cutter in Duloc

Up, up, up, up, up

WELCOME TO DULOC

Duloc Performers: Welcome to Duloc. 

Such a perfect town. 

Here we have some rules, 

let us lay them down. 

Don’t make waves, 

stay in line and we’ll get along fine. 

Duloc is a perfect place,

 Please keep off of the grass. 

Shine your shoes, wipe your face. 

Duloc is, Duloc is, Duloc is a perfect place.

Big Bright Beautiful World

Mama Ogre: (Sung) Listen son, you’re growing up so quickly. Growing up, bigger by the day 

Papa Ogre: Although we want you here, the rules are very clear.

Mama Ogre: Now you’re seven. 

Papa: (Now you’re seven)

Mama and Papa Ogre So it’s time to go away. 

All: Your Mama packed a sandwich for your trip 

Your Papa packed your boots in case of snow. 

You’re gonna make us proud. 

No backing up allowed

Just keep walking

Just keep walking

…and you’ll find somewhere to go. 

It’s a big bright beautiful world, with happiness all around. 

It’s peaches and cream and every dream comes true. 

But not for you. 

Mama Ogre: We’re ugly son, which means that life is harder. People hate the things they cannot understand

Papa Ogre: And when they look at us they tend to make a fuss

Mama: Burn our houses down 

Papa: And Chase us..…off our land. 

All: It’s important that you find a cozy cesspit

A place no one would ever dare to tread. 

And if they happen by, make sure you terrify them. 

Mama: If you don’t son…

Papa: If you don’t son…

Mama and Papa:…then you’ll surely wind up dead.

ALL:Goodbye! Goodbye

Watch out for men with pitchforks! 

Storyteller 1: And so the little ogre went off and found a muddy patch of swampland. 

Storyteller 2: Far, far, away from the world that despised him. 

Storyteller 3: And there he stayed for many years, 

Storyteller 4: …tucked away and all alone. 

(Shrek enters)

Shrek: Which is just the way I like it!

(Music plays- Shrek sings) 

***Shrek: Keep your big bright beautiful world!

I’m Happy where I am, all alone. 

I got all I need. 

So read the stinkin’ sign!

(Shrek holds up ‘BEWARE OGRE! sign) 

All: Keep your big bright beautiful world! 

He parties on his own-anyway. 

Doing what he can with a one man conga line. 

Shrek: and it’s mine!

Shrek: Alone! It’s mine! And its mine

Shrek: All Mine!! ***

STORY OF MY LIFE

(Song begins)

Pinocchio(sung-spoken):Life is disappointing. 

Woe is what I know. 

Outed by my nose, 

That’s just how it goes for poor Pinocchio. 

Story of my life! 

Always doomed to fail. 

Cheated by a fox. 

Swallowed by a whale. 

That’s the story of my life,  Oh yeah! 

That’s the story of my life. 

Captain of the Guards: Three Bears, take your spot over there by that sign. 

(The THREE BEARS try to find it.) 

no, that’s too far. 

(Again) 

Too Close. 

(Again)

 Ahh, just right Wicked Witch!

Wicked Witch: Strife! Is never-ending

Captain of the Guards; Peter Pan!

Peter Pan: Banished from the town 

Captain of the Guards: Ugly Duckling! 

Ugly Duckling: They dragged me from the pond. 

Wicked Witch : They broke my magic wand. 

Captain of the Guards: Three Pig

3 Pigs: They blew our condos down. 

Wicked Witch: Life is but a witch hunt

Captain of the Guards: Mama Bear

Mama Bear: Mama’s in the mud, Mama’s in distress.

Mad Hatter: They ridiculed my hat

3 Pigs: (pointing to the guards) Zey said Zat wee are fat. 

Big Bad Wolf: They labeled me a fashion mess because I wore a granny dress!

Captain of the Guards: Park it there, Wolf!

All: Story of my life. 

Booted from the ball 

The party’s off the hook. 

Peter Pan: I flew into a wall.

All: That’s the story of my life

That’s the story of my life

Captain of the Guards: And remember, if we find you back in the kingdom, you will be executed. 

ALL: That’s the story of my life

***All: 

I always dreamed I’d get a happy ending. 

Wicked Witch: And this right here? Not how it goes. 

All: I always dreamed I’d get an ever after.  

If this is it, it blows. It blows. It blows.

 Story of my life. 

Always double crossed. 

Always in the woods.

 Always getting lost. 

Always on the ropes.

 Always up a creek. 

Always kicked around, and treated like I’m weak! ***

That’s the story of my life, Yes sir. 

Thats the story of my life, Oy vey!

Thats the story of my life.
