<br>

Jo: [Sung]<br>

I came to New York on a dream,<br>

I knew it might take me awhile.<br>

But all I've been hearing, since I arrived,<br>

Is leave it right there on the pile.<br>

<br>

So today I woke up.<br>

And decided it's time.<br>

Time to achieve,<br>

Time to thrive,<br>

Time to climb!<br>

<br>

Professor Bhaer: [Spoken] <br>

Miss March, tell us what happened!<br>

<br>

Jo: [Sung]<br>

Sometimes when you dream, <br>

Your dream is just a guess,<br>

Sometimes, when you work really hard <br>

You don’t know,<br>

If you’ll ever find success!<br>

<br>

So I grabbed a story to sell,<br>

And got ready to raise hell.<br>

Then I marched out the door, <br>

And headed right for, <br>

The Weekly Volcano Press!<br>

<br>

Professor Bhaer: [Spoken] <br>

Henry Dashwood, now he is a man of taste.<br>

<br>

Jo: [Sung]<br>

Dashwood was a fiend. <br>

He sneered at my distress.<br>

Tossed my story high on a stack, <br>

But I was<br>

Determined I would progress!<br>

<br>

I said ‘Sir, I’ll wait while you read.’<br>

But alas, he disagreed. <br>

So I jumped on a chair, <br>

And read it right there,<br>

At The Weekly Volcano Press!<br>

<br>

Professor Bhaer: [Spoken] <br>

You did what?<br>

Jo: [As Clarissa]<br>

Keep away from me, you wretch!<br>

<br>

Jo: [As Braxton] <br>

I cannot keep away! <br>

Your beauty draws me,<br>

Your passion ignites me!<br>

<br>

Professor Bhaer: [Spoken] <br>

Ah, it’s the one with all the horror in it.<br>

The blood bath!<br>

<br>

Jo: [Spoken]<br>

That’s the one! But I took to heart what you said, <br>

And I embellished. I made it better.<br>

<br>

Jo/Braxton: [Sung]<br>

I’ve got, to have you!<br>

<br>

Jo/Clarissa: [Sung]<br>

I defy you!<br>

<br>

Braxton: <br>

I will take you!<br>

<br>

Clarissa:<br>

Let me by you!<br>

<br>

Let go! Let go! Let go, let go, let go!<br>

<br>

Jo: [Spoken]<br>

Rodrigo appears, in magnificent splendor!<br>

<br>

Rodrigo: [Spoken]<br>

Unhand that woman, villain!<br>

<br>

Clarissa/Braxton: [Spoken]<br>

Who are you?<br>

<br>

Rodrigo: [Sung]<br>

I am your destiny!<br>

Your bitterest foe!<br>

I’ve come to avenge your crimes, <br>

Of ten years ago…<br>

<br>

Braxton/Clarissa: [Spoken]<br>

Agh!/ Ahh!<br>

<br>

Rodrigo: [Spoken]<br>

Run to the forest! Run!<br>

<br>

Clarissa: <br>

I can’t! The forest is dangerous! <br>

My sister went in there and never returned!<br>

<br>

Rodrigo: <br>

You must risk it! You must take the dark path! <br>

Your fate awaits you!<br>

<br>

Braxton: <br>

She will never escape me!<br>

<br>

Rodrigo:<br>

Hurry!<br>

<br>

Braxton:<br>

En Garde!<br>

<br>

Rodrigo: <br>

Go, now!<br>

<br>

Clarissa: <br>

Ahhh!<br>

<br>

Jo: [Sung]<br>

Dashwood was aghast, <br>

But I could not care less.<br>

Words I spoke, ignited the air, I felt like,<br>

A publishing lioness!<br>

<br>

That’s when Dashwood started to shout, <br>

And I thought he’d throw me out!<br>

But then I persevered, and a forest appeared <br>

At The Weekly Volcano Press!<br>

<br>

Jo: [Spoken]<br>

The forest is dark, and scary.<br>

Clarissa enters, trembling, fearful of what fate awaits her. <br>

She comes to a fork in the road and stops.<br>

<br>

Clarissa: [Spoken]<br>

Which way do I go?<br>

Jo: <br>

A Hag appears.<br>

<br>

Clarissa:<br>

Ahh!<br>

<br>

Hag: [Sung]<br>

I can help you choose.<br>

But you must make a sacrifice.<br>

Give me something, dear,<br>

Those combs would be nice…<br>

<br>

Clarissa: [Sung]<br>

Without these combs<br>

What will I be?<br>

<br>

Hag: <br>

Perhaps a Hag as dull as me…<br>

<br>

Clarissa:<br>

I can’t…<br>

<br>

Hag: <br>

You’ll never know your destiny<br>

Unless you give up vanity..<br>

<br>

Clarissa:<br>

I’ve got to know,<br>

Please show me where to go!<br>

<br>

Hag:<br>

Your fate awaits you there!<br>

<br>

Jo: [Spoken]<br>

The path is perilous. <br>

She avoids swamps, she loses her footing!<br>

Her shoes tumble off. <br>

The sleeve of her dress gets caught on a twisted limb.<br>

She comes to wild rapids and can go no further.<br>

<br>

Clarissa: [Spoken]<br>

How should I get across?<br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

A troll appears.<br>

<br>

Troll: [Sung]<br>

If you want to cross,<br>

You must pay me!<br>

I’ve the only boat, <br>

That can get you there alive.<br>

I see you wear a necklace, <br>

That holds a pretty jewel.<br>

My price to get across,<br>

Is what you’re wearing ‘round your neck<br>

Oh how it’s glitter makes me drool…<br>

<br>

Clarissa: [Sung]<br>

I’ve nothing left but this, <br>

My prospects are so bleak!<br>

<br>

Troll:<br>

You’ll never know what wisdom is <br>

Unless you give up all your riches!<br>

<br>

Clarissa:<br>

Here, it’s yours!<br>

Now show me distant shores!<br>

<br>

Troll:<br>

I’ll take you to your fate!<br>

<br>

Jo: [Sung]<br>

Sometimes when you dream, <br>

Your dreams come true, <br>

In extraordinary ways, <br>

Suddenly a day<br>

Can be so amazing!<br>

And sometimes when you yearn<br>

You burn the air!<br>

And someone else feels the flame <br>

You always knew was there!<br>

<br>

Knight: [Spoken]<br>

Stop, please!<br>

<br>

Clarissa: [Spoken]<br>

I cannot stop!<br>

<br>

Knight:<br>

Can you not give a tired old knight some assistance?<br>

<br>

Clarissa:<br>

I have nothing left to give!<br>

<br>

Knight:<br>

Give me your time!<br>

<br>

Clarissa:<br>

My fate awaits me!<br>

<br>

Knight: <br>

Can you not care for me? <br>

It’s been years since I felt the touch of another hand.<br>

<br>

Clarissa:<br>

Then take mine.<br>

And take my shawl. <br>

Ragged as it is.<br>

<br>

Knight:<br>

You have now completed your journey.<br>

My sword is yours. <br>

It will protect you against your enemies.<br>

You may now return to the moors.<br>

[Sung]<br>

Your fate is in your hands…<br>

<br>

Jo: [Spoken]<br>

And Clarissa raced from the forest, <br>

Raced to the moors where she called<br>

“I have returned, Braxton!<br>

I will free the moors of your tyranny!<br>

Fight me!”<br>

<br>

Braxton: [Spoken]<br>

I always knew you’d come back to me. <br>

They always do.<br>

<br>

Clarissa:<br>

Ahh!<br>

<br>

Jo: [Spoken]<br>

Clarissa thrusts, she parries! <br>

She backs up Braxton and <br>

Pins him against a tree!<br>

She leaps up on a craggy rock, her sword <br>

Swishing and swooshing!<br>

Never has she been more determined.<br>

She is on fire!<br>

Pity she hadn’t taken dueling lessons.<br>

<br>

Out of nowhere, <br>

Who should appear, <br>

But the long forgotten Rodrigo!<br>

<br>

Rodrigo: [Spoken] <br>

This is your end, villain!<br>

I’ve waited I lifetime to destroy you!<br>

<br>

Braxton: [Spoken]<br>

Who are you?<br>

<br>

Rodrigo:<br>

I am your worst nightmare, Braxton.<br>

[Beth as Rodrigo]<br>

I am- Her sister!<br>

<br>

Clarissa:<br>

Ahhh!<br>

<br>

Braxton: [Spoken] <br>

Agghh!<br>

<br>

Jo: [Sung]<br>

And then Dashwood got on his knees, <br>

Crying ‘Sell this to me Please…’<br>

<br>

Professor Bhaer: [Spoken] <br>

Miss March!<br>

<br>

Jo: [Sung]<br>

Then he ordered four more,<br>

Now I’m writing for,<br>

The Weekly Volcano Press!<br>

<br>

<br>

Jo/Clarissa/Rodrigo [Sung at the same time]<br>

<br>

I’m ready for destiny!<br>

My tresses are curled.<br>

I’ll take what is rightly mine<br>

With curtains unfurled.<br>

I will not quit, I won’t be forgotten!<br>

I will shine, I’ll dazzle and more...<br>

I’m ready to take a bow,<br>

I’ve taken a solemn vow,<br>

My destiny here, and now!<br>

I’ll astonish the world!<br>

<br>

Professor Bhaer/Hag/Troll/Knight/Mrs. Kirk [Sung at the same time]<br>

<br>

Sometimes when you dream, <br>

Your dreams com true!<br>

In extraordinary ways,<br>

Suddenly a day can be so amazing!<br>

And sometimes when you yearn,<br>

You burn the air!<br>

And someone else feels the flame<br>

You always knew<br>

Was there!<br>

<br>
