One morning 'sis won't go to dance class
I grab her shoes and tights and all

I stuff her shoes with extra socks
Run seven blocks
In nothing flat
Hell I can do that
I can do that!
I got to class and had it made
And so I stayed
The rest of my life
All thanks to 'sis
Now married and fat
I can do this
That I can do!
I can do that!
At the Ballet
Sheila:
Daddy always thought that he married beneath him
Thats what he said, thats what he said.
When he proposed he informed my mother
he was probably her very last chance.
And though she was twenty-two, though she was twenty-two
though she was twenty-two
She married him
Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic,
more like a 'come as you are'.
When I was five I remember my mother,
dug earrings 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 lift lovely girls in white
Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet, hey
I was happy at the ballet
["thats when I started dance class"]
Up a steep and very narrow stairway
Sheila and Bebe: To a voice like a metrenome
Up a steep and very narrow stairway
Sheila: It wasn't paradise
Bebe: It wasn't paradise
Sheila and Bebe: It wasn't paradise
Sheila: But it was home
Bebe:
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 eight or nine, though I was eight or nine,
though I was eight or nine
I hated her
Now 'different' is nice, but it sure isnt pretty
Pretty is what it's about
I never met anyone who was 'different'
Who could't figure that out.
So beautiful, I'd never live to see
But it was clear
If not to her
Well, then to me, that
Sheila and Bebe:
Everyone is beautiful at the ballet.
Every prince has got to have his swan
Yes everyone is beautiful at the ballet
Maggie: Hey___
Bebe: I was pretty
Sheila: At the ballet
Sheila, Bebe and Maggie:
Up a steep and very narrow stairway
To the voice like a metrenome
Up a steep and very narrow stairway
Maggie: It wasn't paradise
Bebe: It wasn't paradise
Sheila: It wasn't paradise
Trio: But it was home
Maggie (spoken):
I dont know what they were for or against really, except each
other.I mean I was born to save the marriage. But when my father
brought me and my mother home from 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. I used to dance around the
living room with my arms up like this. My fantasy was that there
was this Indian cheif. And he'd say 'Maggie do you want to
dance?'And I'd say 'Daddy, I would love to dance'
[sung]
Bebe: But it was clear...
Sheila: When he proposed...
Maggie: That I was born to help their marriage and when
Sheila: That's what he said...
Bebe: That's what she said...
Maggie: I used to dance around the living room...
Sheila: he wasn't warm...
Bebe: Not to her...
Maggie:
It was an Indian chief and he'd say
'Maggie do you want to dance?'
And I'd say 'Daddy I would love to...'
Maggie:
Everything was beautiful at the ballet
Raise your arms and someone's always there
Yes everything was beuatiful at the ballet...
At the ballet...At the ballet...
Trio:
Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet
Maggie: Hey

Hello 12, Hello 12, Hello
Love.
Zach: [spoken]Mark
Mark: [spoken]Well, I get the feeling that most of you always knew what you wanted to do.
Me,I didn't! I was just a kid for awhile. Oh, then one day, well, my father had this
fabulous library in the back of the house, and when I was about eleven, I guess, I found
this medical textbook. It had pictures of the male and female anatomy. Well, I thought that
was pretty interesting. I used to read that book a lot!
Zach: Were you interested in medicine, or just the pictures?
Mark: Well, no, I...
(Sung variously as solos until all join in)
Hello, twelve, hello, thirteen
Hello, love
Changes, oh, down below
Up above
Time to doubt, to break out
It's a mess (it's a mess)
Time to grow, time to go
Adolesce (adolesce)
Too young to take over,
Too old to ignore
Gee! I'm almost ready
But what for?
There's a lot I am not
Certain of
Hello twelve, hello thirteen
Hello, love
Mark: And from the book I diagnosed my own appendicitis.
Next day I went to the doctor down the block,
Sure enough, acute appendicitis!
They rushed me right to the hospital
Well, I figured this book would cover everything
The rest of my life!
And then when I turned thirteen, I had my first - wet dream.
Well, I went right to the medical journal. Milky discharge...milky discharge, milky
discharge
Gonorrhea!
I was in shock.
Gonorrhea!
Before I'd even started. I was terrified. I couldn't tell my mother I had
Gonorrhea!
So, the book said drink a lot of water
Zach: Is that all it said?
Mark: No, it said take penicillan-strepto-something or other, but I couldn't do that unless
I told someone,
So all I could do was drink the water,
And I drank like twenty glasses a day
For three weeks. I almost drowned!
Finally, I went to Confession, and I told the priest I had gonorrhea. He was in shock,
too.
Who have you been with, my son?
Nobody, nobody
Then how can you have gonorrhea?
Well, I told him about the medical diagnosis and he set me straight. And, you know, it's the
only time the Church ever helped me out! Well, I was...
Connie: four foot ten, four foot ten
That's the story of my life
I remember when everybody was my size!
Boy, was that great. Then everybody started moving up, and there I was, stuck at
Four foot ten, four foot ten
But I kept hoping and praying.
I used to hang from a parallel bar
By the hour
Hoping I'd stretch just an inch more
Cause I was into dancing then, and I was good! And I wanted so much to grow up to become a
prima ballerina. Then I went out for
Cheerleader! But they told me "No dice. You'll get lost
on the football field. The pom-poms are bigger than you!" I spent my whole life waiting to
grow...
Val: ...Tits! When am I gonna grow tits?
Paul: Secret, my whole life was a secret
Mike: One little fart and they called me stinky for three years. Ahhh!!
All: Goodbye 12, goodbye 13, hello love
Bebe: Robert Goulet, Robert Goulet, my God, Robert Goulet!
All: Oh, down below, up above
Don: Playing doctor with Evelyn
All: La la la la la
Richie: I'll show you mine, you show me yours
All: La la
Kristine: Seeing daddy naked!
All: Time to grow, time to go
Sheila: Surprise!
All: La la la
Sheila: Mom and dad were doing it.
Bobby: I'm gonna be a movie star
Connie: But the only thing about me that grew was my desire
I was never gonna be Maria Tallchief. I was just
This peanut on pointe! That was my whole trip. It still is. I mean, I just turned thirty-two
and last year I played a fourteen-year-old brat on Broadway!
Zach: A-ha! 32, Year of the Chicken.
Richie: Puck-puck-puck, girl!
Connie: So I got caught. But I don't look it, and I guess I shouldn't knock it, cause I've
always been able to get work
From the time I was five in
King and I, King and I
Up to now, I've never stopped
Cause whatever I am, I am...
[Nothing]
Diana: ...So excited, cause I'm going to the high school of Performing Arts. I mean, I was
dying to become a serious actress. Anyway, it's the first day of acting class and the
teacher, Mr. Karp puts us on stage one in back of the other and says, Okay, class, today
we're going to do improvisations. You're on a bobsled, and it's snowing out, and it's cold.
Okay, go!
Everyday for a week
We would try to feel the motion, feel the motion
Down the hill
Everyday for a week
We would try to hear the wind rush, hear the wind rush
Feel the chill
And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
To see what I had inside
Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
And I tried, I tried
And everybody's going 'Whoosh, whoosh. I feel the air! I feel the cold! I feel the snow!'
And Mr. Karp turns to me and says 'Okay, Morales, what do you feel?'
And I said nothing; I'm feeling nothing
And Karp said nothing could get a girl transferred
They all felt something, but I felt nothing
Except the feeling that this bullshit was absurd.
But I said to myself, don't worry about it. Maybe it's genetic; they don't have bobsleds in
San Juan!
Second week more advanced and we had to
Be a table, be a sports car
Ice cream cone
Mr. Karp, he would say very good,
Except Morales, try Morales
All alone
And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
To see how an ice cream felt.
Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
And I tried to melt
And the kids yelled nothing, they called me nothing
And Karp allowed it, which really makes me burn
They were so helpful, they called me hopeless
Until I really didn't know where else to turn
And Mr. Karp comes up to me and says, 'Morales, I think you
should transfer to girls high. You'll never be an
actress. Never.' Jesus Christ!
Went to church praying Santa Maria
Help me feel it, help me feel it
On my knees
Went to church praying Santa Maria
Help me feel it, help me feel it
Pretty please
And a voice from down at the bottom of my soul
Came up to the top of my head
Yes a voice from down at the bottom of my soul
Here is what it said:
This man is nothing, this course is nothing
If you want something go find another class
And when you find one you'll be an actress
And I assure that's what finally came to pass
Six months later I heard that Karp had died
So I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
And cried
Cause I felt nothing
[Montage cont]
I mean, I didn't want him to die or anything, but...
Don: the summer I turned fifteen I lied about my age so I could join AGVA, you know,
The night club union
Cause I could make sixty dollars a week
Working these strip joints
Outside of Kansas City
I worked this one club for about eight weeks straight
And I really became friendly with this stripper
Her name was Lola La Torres, with her dynamic twin forty-fours.
She really took to me, after all, we did share the only dressing room and she did a lot of
dressing!
Anyway, she used to come and pick me up and
Drive me to work nights.
Well, the neighbors would all be hanging outside of their windows
And she'd drive up in her big pink Cadillac convertible
And smile.
I'd come tripping out with my tap shoes and tux and we'd go driving down the block, her long
red hair blowing in the wind.
Al: Goodbye twelve, goodbye thirteen,
All: Hello love
Maggie: Why do I pay for all these lessons? Dance for grandma, dance for grandma!
All: Ba, ba da da, ba da da
Bebe: My God, that Steve McQueen's real sexy, Bob Goulet out, Steve McQueen in!
All: Ba ba da da ba da da
Cassie: You cannot go to the movies until you finish your homework
All: Ba da da
Al: Wash the car
All: Ba da da
Mike: Stop picking your nose
All: Ba da
Maggie: Oh darling you're not old enough to wear a bra
You've got nothing to hold it up
All: Ba da da, ba da da ba da da
Mark: Locked in the bathroom with Peyton Place!
All: Ba da da, ba da da, ba da
Val: Tits! When am I gonna grow tits?
Bobby: If Troy Donahue can be a movie star, then I can be a movie star.
Don: So all the guys wanted to know all the hot details of our affair, but actually she was
going with this...
Judy:...little brat! That's what my sister was
A little brat! And that's
Why I shaved her head
I'm glad I shaved her head!
But then my father lost his job
And we had to leave El Paso
And we wound up in St. Louis, Missouri!
Well, It was the furthest thing from my mind
To be a dancer,
But my mother would embarrass me
Cause she used to pick me up from
School with all those great big yellow rollers in her hair
No matter how much I begged her
And she'd say: "What are you, ashamed of your own mother?!"
But the thing that made my daddy laugh so much
Was when I used to jump and dance around the living room
Maggie: Please take this message to mother from me
Carry it with you across the blue sea
Mother, oh mother wherever you go,
Your Maggie is missing you so.
Mother, oh mother wherever you go,
Your Maggie is missing you so.
Al: Dad would take mom to Roseland
She'd come home with her shoes in her hand
Diana: Mama fat, always in the kitchen cooking all the time
Sheila: Darling, I can tell you now
Your father went through life with an open fly
Val: Tits, where are my tits?
Cassie: Listen to your mother, those stage and movie people got there
Because theyre special
Greg: You take after your father's side of the family
The ugly side
Paul: Wait until your father gets home
Don: Swear to God and hope to die
Judy: It was the first time I ever saw a dead body!
And then the most terrible thing happened,
The Ted Mack Amateur Hour held auditions in St. Louis
And I didn;t hear about it till after they'd gone
And I nearly killed myself!
I nearly killed myself!
I tried to walk in front of a speeding streetcar!
And I remember noticing boys for the first time.
Anyway, I do remember, I used to practice kissing with Leslie.
She was my best girlfriend. Did any of you ever do that? Practice kissing with another
girl
So when the time came you'd know how to?
No?. Oh!
Kristine: Judy?
Judy: Did you girl?
Kristine: Only a couple of times.
Sheila: Oh, count me in!
Judy: Thank God! Anyway, I do remember...
Greg:...the worst thing in school was that everytime the teacher called on me
I'd be hard! I'd be hard!
Really!
I mean, I had to lean against the desk, like this. And the teacher would say
Stand up straight!
I can't I have a pain in my side
Stand up straight!
Or walking down the halls, you'd have to walk, like this,
With all your books stacked up in front of you.
Mike: Yeah, I did too. I thought I was a sex maniac!
Connie and Maggie: You are!!
Bobby: Me too. It didn't go down for three years.
Greg: Oh, and the bus. The bus was the worst. I'd take even one look at a bus and
Bingo!
And then there was the time I was making out with Sally Ketchum in the back seat of the car.
We were kissing and necking and I was feeling her boobs. And after about an hour or so, she
said,
Ohhh, don't you wanna feel anything else?
And I suddenly thought to myself, "No, I don't."
Zach: Did this come as a surprise to you?
Greg: Well, I guess yeah, because it was the first time I realized I was homosexual. And I
got so depressed, because I thought being gay meant being a bum all the rest of my life. And
I said,
Gee, I'll never get to wear nice clothes!
And I was really into clothes! I had these pink and powder blue gabardine pants
All: Goodbye twelve, goodbye thirteen,
Hello love
Al: Early to bed, early to rise, your broad goes out with other guys
Cassie: A diaphragm, a diaphragm, I thought a diaphragm was up here where you breath
Don: I bought a car; I bought my first car!

All: Changes oh, down below,

Connie: You're not leaving this house until you're twenty-one
Mark: Every girl I know has lockjaw of the legs
Maggie: Life is an ashtray
Kristine: The ugliest boy asked me to Prom. I stayed home.
Val: Shit! Made it through high school without growing tits!
All: Doubt, to break out

Dance:10, Looks: 3
Val: [spoken]
But after a while I caught on, I mean I saw what they were hiring. I also swiped my dance
card once after an audition. And on a scale of ten they gave me: For dance - 10! For looks -
three. Well!
[sung]
Dance: ten, looks: three?
And I'm still on unemployment, dancing for my own enjoyment
That ain't it kid, that ain't it kid
Dance: ten, looks: three
Is like to die!
Left the theatre and called the doctor for my appointment to buy...
Tits and Ass.
Bought myself a fancy pair, tightened up the derriere,
Did the nose with it, all that goes with it.
Tits and Ass.
Had the bingo-bongos done, suddenly I'm getting national tours.
Tits and Ass, won't get, you jobs,
Unless they're yours!
Didn't cost a fortune neither
didn't hurt my sex-life either!
Flat and Sassy
I would get the strays and loser
beggars really can't be choosers
That ain't it kid, That ain't it kid
Fixed the chassis
'How do you do?!'
Life turned into an endless medley of 'Gee it had to be you'.
Why?
Tits and Ass
Where the cupboard once was bare, now you're knocking someones there
You have got 'em hey, top to bottom hey!
Its a gas!
Just a dash of silicone, shake your new maraccas and you're fine!
Tits and Ass, can change, your life
They sure changed mine
[spoken] You're all looking at my tits now aren't you? [etc]
[sung]
Have it all done, honey take my word
Grab a cab come on, see the wizard at Park and Seventy Third for
Tits and Ass
Orchestra and balcony
What they want it - what 'cha see.
Keep the best of you, do the rest of you
Pits or class?
I have never seen it fail
Debutante or chorus girl or wife
Tits and Ass,
Yes Tits and Ass
Have changed my life
Music and the Mirror
Cassie:
Give me somebody to dance for
Give me somebody to show
Let me wake up in the morning to find
I have somewhere exciting to go
To have something that I can believe in
To have someone to be
Use me, choose me
God I'm a dancer, a dancer dances!
Give me somebody to dance with
Give me a place to fit in
Help me return to the world of the living
By showing me how to begin
Play me the music
Give me the chance to come through
All I ever needed was the music, and the mirror
And the chance to dance
For you
Give me a job and you instantly get me involved
If you give me a job then the rest of the crap will get solved.
Put me to work, you would think that by now I'm allowed
I'll do you proud
Throw me a rope to grab on to
Help me to prove that I'm strong
Give me the chance to look forward to saying
'Hey listen they're playing my song!'
Play me the music, give me the chance to come through
All I ever needed was the music, and the mirror
And the chance to dance
(The Cassie Dance)
Play me the music, play me the music, play me the music
Give me the chance to come through!
All I ever needed was the music, and the mirror
And the chance to dance.
Rehersal One
Coming soon
What I did for love
Diana:
Kiss today goodbye,
The sweetness and the sorrow.
Wish me luck, the same to you.
But I can't regret
What I did for love, what I did for love.
Look my eye's are dry.
The gift was ours to borrow.
It's as if we always knew,
And I won't forget what I did for love,
What I did for love.
Gone,
Love is never gone.
As we travel on,
Love's what we'll remember.
Kiss today goodbye,
And point me t'ward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for
Diana & Group:
Love
All:
What I did for
All & Group:
Love
Diana:
What I did for...
All (adding more voices each phrase):

Love is never gone
As we travel one
Love's what we'll remember
Kiss today goodbye.
Diana:
And point me t'ward tomorrow.
All:
Point me t'ward tomorrow
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love.
What I did for love.
Diana:
What I did for...
All:
Love
One - Finale/Reprise
Boys:
One singular sensation
Every little step he takes.
One thrilling combination
Every move that he makes.
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do;
You know you'll never be lonely with you know who.
One moment in his presence
And you can forget the rest.
For the guy is second best
To none,
Son.
Ooh! Sigh! Give him your attention.
Do...I...really have to mention?
He's the One
She walks into a room
And you know
Girls:
She's un-
Commonly rare, very unique,
Peripatetic, poetic and chic.
All:
She walks into a room
And you know from her
Maddening pose, effortless whirl,
She's the special girl.
Stroll-ing,
Can't, help,
All of her qualities extol-ling.
Loaded with charisma is my
Jauntily sauntering, ambling shambler.
She walks into a room
And you know you must
Shuffle along, join the parade.
She's the quintessence of making the grade.
This is whatcha call
Trav-ling.
Oh, strut your stuff!
Can't get enough
Of her.
Love her.
I'm a son of a gun,
She is one of a
Kind...
