Having successfully zhooshed into existence pantomimes and Shakespearean plays, surely it's time for us to put on a musical. The best musicals are terse, brief affairs, based on a well known story, so rather than trying to create a full-length effort, let's instead create single scene musicals which dash through the plot at Reduced Shakespeare speed, interpolated with songs about 4 lines long.
And so it begins...
Orchestra -
*Murky music begins in the depths of the cellos and rises very quickly to a dramatic climax
The Housemates -
appear on stage behind a big gauze which is quickly flown out and stand in a line backlit dramatically amidst smoke.
Craig -
Throw what you want at us!
-
Lights up on the compound. DAVINA McCALL steps out front with a clipboard
Davina -
(In an authoritative manner, dressed all in black and preferably about 6.5 months pregnant).
Hello, and welcome to Big Brother!
Sada -
(steps forward into the spotlight)
Okay, yah, 'kay yah.
I'm just the
Biggest thing this show has ever seen
And I'm a novelist!
The flattest matest, dahling, I'm the queen
The bestest hovelist!
Davina -
Well that's what you say, my darling
How about the viewers' votes?
Sada - Oh my God, my rating's fallen!
Davina - Blew your trumpet, burned your boats!
Cast - Out! Out! Out! Out! OUT!
Craig -
(sounds of sawing, hammers and wall crashing down.
smoke billows from the right of stage, to reveal a grinning idiot On daytime I made my new life from MDF
And now to pickle Carole Smilie in a jar
I am the people's chump
The Cast -
*after a long silence from the orchestra, take bows and return to the dressing room for an early bath*
Projoy - A lie someone just posted has made me think there might be a game in another show-related concept, so maybe we can take a stab at that instead...
Audience -
*shouts, screams, generally goes wild for Projoy*
CdM - [Projoy] I would have tried to join in, but I know nothing about the show...
Projoy - Perhaps we can revive it in a more user-friendly format later on, if people are agreeable...
This is the end of the line. There is no more.
