From the top! a-Five, six, seven, eight!



ALL

God, I hope I get it, I hope I get it!

How many people does he need? How many people does he need?

God, I hope I get it! I hope I get it!

How may boys, how many girls

How many boys, how many...

Look at all the people, at all the people

How many people does he need? How many boys, how many girls?

How many people does he ...



MAGGIE

I really need this job

Please, God, I need this job!

I've got to get this job!



ZACH

Let's do the ballet combination

First group of girls, second group to follow.

One, two, three, four, five, six...



AL

God, I really blew it, I really blew it!

How could I do a thing like that? How could I do a thing like ...?

Now, I'll never make it

I'll never make it!

He doesn't like the way I look.

ALL

What's coming next? What's happening now?

Still it isn't over

I've gotta imagine what he wants it isn't over

I've gotta imagine what he does

God, I hope I get it, I hope I get it!

I've come this far, but even so: It could be yes, it could be no.

How many people does he...?

I really need this job

Please, God, I need this job I've got to get this show.



PAUL

Who am I anyway? Am I my resume?

That is a picture of a person I don't know.

What does he want from me?

What should I try to be?

So many faces all around and here we go,

I need this job Oh God, I need this show.



2.I Can Do That



MIKE

I'm watchin' Sis go pit-a-pat

Said, I can do that I can do that.

Knew ev'ry step right off the bat,

Said, I can do that I can do that

One morning Sis won't go to dance class I grabbed her shoes

And tights and all But my foot's too small

So, I stuffed her shoes with extra socks,

Run seven blocks In nothin' 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)

See, I can do this.

That I can do,

I can do that!





3.And



RICHIE

And What if I’m next?

What if I’m next?

What am I gonna do

I haven't got a clue

I gotta think of something

What does he want

What does he want

Stories from the past

I better find one fast



DON, MAGGIE, GREG, BEBE, RICHIE, VAL, PAUL

What should I say What can I tell him



BOBBY

As I got older I kept getting stranger and stranger,

I used to go down to this Busy intersection near my house

rush hour and direct traffic. I just wanted To see if

anybody'd notice me. That's when I started breaking people's

houses -- oh, I didn't steal anything --just re-arrange

their furniture. And



VAL

And Orphan at three

Orphan at three

Mother and dad both gone

Raised by a sweet ex-con

Tied up and raped at seven

Seriously Seriously

Nothing too obscene

I'd better keep it clean



DON, CONNIE, MIKE, SHEILA, RICHIE, VAL, DIANA

What should I say? What can I tell him?



BOBBY

You wanna hear about school? I went to P.S. Shit. See,

I was the kind of kid that was always getting slammed

into lockers and stuff like that. Not only by students --

by the teachers too. Oh and I hated sports, hated sports.

And sports were very big. I mean, it was jock city, but

I didn't make one team. See I couldn't catch a ball if it

had elmer's glue on it. And didn't my father have to be

this big ex-football hero, he was so humiliated, he didn't

know what to tell his friends. So he told 'em all I had

polio. On father's day I'd to limp for him, and



JUDY

And God, I’m a wreck

God, I’m a wreck

I don't know where to start

I'm gonna fall apart

Where are my childhood memories?

Who were the boys

What were my toys

Gone beyond recall!

And why am I so tall

What should I say





VAL, RICHIE, MAGGIE, CONNIE, JUDY, DIANA

What can I tell him?



JUDY

And



CONNIE

And



RICHIE

And



VAL

And



BOBBY

(out of pantomime)

And mother kept saying: "If you don't stop burning brother's

toys, we're going to have to send you away." And I was always

thinking up these spectacular ways how to kill myself. But then

I realized -- to commit suicide in buffalo is redundant!



4.At the Ballet



SHEILA

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 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 they weren't hers

But it wasn't something you'd wanna discuss

He wasn't warm, well, not to her ... well, not to us

But ev'rything was beautiful at the ballet.

Graceful men lift lovely girls in white.

Yes, ev'rything was beautiful at ballet,

Hey! I was happy at the ballet.

That's why I started ballet class



SHEILA and BEBE

Up a steep and very narrow stairway

To the voice like a metronome

Up a steep and very narrow stairway

It wasn't paradise, it wasn't paradise,

It wasn't paradise, but it was home.



BEBE

Mother always said I'd be very attractive

When I grew up, when I grew up

"Diff'rent," 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, "diff'rent" is nice, but it sure isn't pretty.

"Pretty" is what it's about.

I never met anyone who was "diff'rent"

Who couldn't figure that out.

So beautiful I'd never lived to see.

But it was clear, if not to her,

Well then to me!



BEBE and MAGGIE

That ev'ryone is beautiful at the ballet.

Ev'ry prince has got to have his swan.

Yes, ev'ryone is beautiful at the ballet,

Hey! I was pretty



SHEILA

At the ballet



SHEILA BEBE and MAGGIE

Up a steep and very narrow stairway

To the voice like a metronome

Up a steep and very narrow stairway

It wasn't paradise,

it wasn't paradise,

It wasn't paradise, but it was home.



MAGGIE

I don't know what they were for or against, 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 I used to dance around the living room with

my arms up like this. My fantasy was that it was an Indian chief and

he'd say to me, "Maggie, do you wanna dance?" And I'd say,

"Daddy, I would love to dance!"



SHEILA, BEBE and MAGGIE

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

But it was clear when he proposed

That I was born to help their marriage and when

That's what he said,

That's what she said,

I used to dance around the living room

He wasn't warm, not to her



MAGGIE

It was an Indian chief and he said

"Maggie, do you wanna dance?"

And I said, "Daddy, I would love to."

Ev'rything was beautiful at the ballet.

Raise your arms and someone's always there

Yes, ev'rything was beautiful at the ballet

At the ballet... At the ballet...





SHEILA, BEBE and MAGGIE

Yes ev'rything was beautiful at the ballet

Hey!

I was pretty

I was happy

"I would love to..."

At the ballet.

7.Nothing



DIANA

I'm so excited because I'm gonna go to the High School of Performing

Arts, I mean I was dying to be a serious actress. Anyway, it's our first

day acting class and we're in the auditorium and the teacher, Mr. Karp,

puts us upon the stage with our legs around everybody, one in back of the

other, and he says: "Okay, we're gonna do improvisations...Now, you're

on a bobsled and it's snowing out and it's cold... Okay, go!"

Ev'ryday for a week we would try to feel the motion,

Feel the motion down the hill.

Ev'ry day 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 goin' "Woosh... woosh ...

I feel the snow, I feel the cold,

I feel the air..."

And Mr. Karp turns to me and he says:

"Okay, Morales, what did you feel?"

And I said...

"Nothing, I'm feeling nothing,"

And he says "Nothing could get a girl transferred."

They all felt something,

But I felt nothing

Except the feelin' that this bullshit was absurd!

But I said to myself,

"Hey, it's only the first week. 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 sportscar, Ice-cream cone.

Mister 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!

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 Karp kept saying,

"Morales, I think you should transfer to Girl's High,

You'll never be an actress, Never!"

Jesus Christ!

Went to church, praying, Santa Maria,

Send me guidance,

Send me guidance 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,

And 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 you that's what fin'lly came to pass

Six months later I heard that Karp had died.

And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul And cried--

'Cause I felt nothing...





8.The 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 living

By showing me how to begin.

Play me the music,

Give a chance to come through.

All I ever needed was the music

And the mirror and a 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 sayin'

"Hey, listen they're playin' my song."

Play me the music

Give me a chance to come through,

All I ever needed was the music and the mirror

And a chance to dance--

Play me the music!

Play me the music!

Play me the music!

Give me a chance to come through!

All I ever needed was the music and the mirror

And a chance to dance--



9.Dance: Ten; Looks: Three



VAL

...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 one to ten, they gave me for dance: TEN, for looks : THREE! Why?

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 the'ter 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

Nash'nal 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 losers,

Beggars really can't be choosers.

That ain't it, kid! That ain't it, kid!

Fix 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 knock and someone's there

You have got 'em, hey!

Top to bottom, hey!

It's a gas!

Just a dash of silicone.

Shake your new maracas and your fine!

Tits and ass can change your life,

They sure changed mine!

Have it all done!

Honey, take my word.

Grab a cab, c'mon

See the wizard on

Park and Seventy-Third

For tits and ass.

Orchestra and balcony.

What they want is whatcha see.

Keep the best of you,

Do all 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!



10.One (Rehearsal)



ALL

One

Singular sensation

Ev'ry little step she takes.

One

Thrilling combination

Ev'ry move that she makes.

One smile and suddenly nobody else will do.

You know you'll never be lonely

With you-know-who.

One moment in her presence

And you can forget the rest,

For the girl is second best to none, son.

Ooh! Sigh! Give her your attention.

Do I really have to mention

She's the one?

GIRLS

One

Singular sensation Ev'ry little step she takes.

One

Thrilling combination Ev'ry move that she makes.

One smile and suddenly nobody else will do.

You know you'll never be lonely

With you-know-who.

One moment in her presence

And you can forget the rest,

For the girl is second best to none, son.

Ooh! Sigh! Give her your attention.

Do I really have to mention

She's the one?

ALL

One, two, shoulder up

Singular sensation

Point an' point

Leap, step, kick

Hat to the head

Three, four

Leap with the hip

Follow through

Up, down

Feel the phrase

Elbow right, down, point

Step, brush,

Three, four, suddenly nobody

Step, flick, step, up

Step an' step, slow

Three, four, five, six,

Hat, kick, step, brush, Five, six...

Back, back!

For the girl is second best to none, son.

Ooh! Sigh! Give her your attention.

Do I really have to mention

She's the one?

One singular sensation

Ev'ry little step she takes

One thrilling combination

Ev'ry move that she makes

One smile and suddenly nobody else will do

You know you'll never be lonely With you-know-who

One moment in her presence And you can forget the rest

For the girl is second best to none, son.

Ooh! Sigh! Give her your attention.

Do I really have to mention

She's the one?

One! One! One!

ONE!!!

12.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 eyes 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 love,

DIANA and CHORUS

What I did for love.

DIANA

What I did for--

DIANA and CHORUS

Love,

Love is never gone

As we travel on,

Love's what we'll remember!

Kiss today goodbye

DIANA

And point me t'ward tomorrow

DIANA and CHORUS

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.

What I did for

Love...
