CURTAIN OPEN
(fade music when Sam begins)
INTRO:
Sam: Hi! Welcome to "my life is a musical!" And I will just stop right there
and say, my life is NOT a musical... I don't understand the obsession especially
this generation, with going through normal, let me REPEAT...NORMAL
everyday activities, and turning them into some Troy Bolton or princess Elsa
musical number. I mean seriously, there's a time and place for breaking out in
song... I don't know what I would do if my life were a musical..
(Music starts)
( "if my life were a musical")
oh goodness..
("maybe it would have a classic appeal")
this is what I'm talking about!
("With jazz hands and top hats")
please stop...
("And a broadway feel")
I can't resist... (Join in)
("If my life were a musical, I'd do a soft shoe. I'd be the Fred Astaire of the
Kandy Krew")

singing..

Jasmine: "So did you see my presentation? Cause I Know Mr.Goodman saw it
cause he couldn't stop talking about how he loved it... Just saying. How was
your thingy? Or whatever you did?"
Justin: "Well excuse you, but Mr. Goodman said my business model was
promotion worthy... So you sure you aren't just making that up?"
Jasmine: "Yeah... I'm sure. I mean everyone knows you are the joke of the
office... So I bet you are lying. "
Justin: "HA! Like you could ever do anything better than me, better yet sub
par."

your older sisters hand me down dress”

single glance at me… I mean I used a whole can of spray on this hair, and not even a
courteous stare from Benny the class nerd…”

W: “Lets go to the “strong female lead” genre, they always have hidden treasures
laying in there”

W:“Or robots!? Set like in a post apocalyptic world, with mutated animals and
stuff!?”
