Curtains Georgia Lines

2E Vamps- Start of what kind of man

Oh my goodness.

Oscar: What? The reviews aren’t good? What don’t they like?

That we put on a show.

Carmen: Let me consult with the writing team. Georgia, Aaron: does “debacle” have two meanings?

No.

Sung Carmen and Oscar

Who could be mean enough, base and obscene enough, to take job like that?

Wait a minute, here’s something in the Herald that might be good-

Oscar: funny none of them mentioned Jessica fainting

She fainted during the bows, when the critics dash out of the theater to dash off their postmortems. Face it: we’ve gotten our notices and we’ve been given notice.

Aaron: very nice, but until our leading lady gets out of the hospital, who knows what happens next?

They just have her under observation, I’m sure she’ll be out by the morning.

Belling: Is there no limit!?

Sounds like our director.

Belling: Is there no limit!?

He got such horrendous reviews.

Belling: Long paragraph

what was the most awful thing in our show?

Jessica.

Carmen: Thanks, Johnny. That’s probably my husband calling.

And where was Sidney tonight, Carmen?

Aaron: At least she can joke about it.

It’s easy to joke about marriage when men like Sidney and you don’t take it seriously.

Aaron: There’s no comparison. I never did more than flirt with any woman in any cast once you and I got married.

Barbara O’Brien

She wan an usher. And that was only after you moved out

Oh so you finally looked up from your music and noticed I was gone?

Oscar: What plan? You think he wants us to go to Broadway using an understudy.

Well at least we’d still have Bobby in the title role.

Aaron: And thats what matters, right? I mean, the whole reason you teamed with me again was so you could rekindle a romance with our leading man-

Aran, when I signed up, I had no idea Bobby was in this show.

Aaron: really? then why at our very first rehearsal did you walk right up to him and say,

Hi Bobby.

Aarron: You mean “thinking of him”? that’s one of my best songs in the show

One of our best songs

Belling: Georgia sing. (Piano starts) Johnny, put her in light cue five.

“Light cue five?” Oh, this is silly , I haven’t sung on stage in years.

Thinking of him will start

Randy: Anythings better than Jessica

I…I don’t know, Chris

Aaron: I, uhm…no, to be honest, it doesn’t

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Aaron: I have my reasons

You always have.

Carmen: That was the hospital on the phone. in terms of future performances, Jessica Cranshaw now have has a conflict.

What…what happened?

Carmen: They wouldn’t tell me

Chris, do you want to say something to the company about Jessica?

Aaron: Well I appreciate that, Lieutenant

On behalf of my half of that compliment, thanks as well.

Belling: And, what are they doing with her killer? I mean, does he get some sort of trophy, or a Pontiac convertible.

Chris.

Belling: Sorry, pure reflex

What…what killed her?

Cioffi: Longish paragraph ending

starting a chemical reaction that created her own personal gas chamber, internally

Horrible

Georgia Can’t Dance

Bobby: Now stay on top of the turns

Sorry, you’re all being very patient, but….I can’t do this

Bobby: Honey, i’ve seen you do this

In a previous life.

Bobby: Hey, is this true-

I’m getting reviewed tomorrow?

I miss music

Aaron songs ends UPSR

Aaron- ( sees Cioffi) Oh, sorry, am I interrupting?

Cioffi: Miss Hendricks, best of luck in your upcoming number. We’ll speak later.

I forgot my lyric. Can you believe it, me?

aaron; well, you’re not the lyricist now, you’re the star. How does it feel being back on the boards?

Terrifying. Thrilling. I’ve missed….

Aaron: uh huh?

…the stage.

Bobby: c’mon angel, we gotta do THATAWAY, rightway.

Must we?

Bobby: It’s our last chance to land the number before we pack it in for the night. Here we go, honey.

Oh Aaron. I/m thinking you were right when you said I was wrong for this. ( She has started to leave.)

Aaron: Georgia. Break a leg.

Thanks. You can….finish the song without me?

Saloon Men: I’m all yours/ we love Marian

Georgia ( As madam Marian)

Kiss me while you can, boys! I got my sights set on Rob Hood!

Bobby( Rob Hood)

But Rob Hood just left these parts with miss Nancy, the new schoolmarm

Marian/Georgia

Alan O’Dell, ain’t it funny how a cowardly lawman from back East knows so much about the man I plan to brand? I’m gonna round up that Rob Hood and hogtie his fancy Miss Nancy.

THATAWAY will start

Start of act 2

He did it song

You can’t sleep either, huh?

Bobby: Knowing that someone in this company is a killer? I thought I saw our director sneaking around.

Murder is a very British thing, isn’t it? I mean, it’s almost like a hobby over there.

Belling: Did they drive a stake though his heart, just to play safe.

Chris, not in front of his widow! How are you holding up, Carmen?

Carmen: You all sent out for breakfast and nobody thought to tell me?!

Well let;s at least be considerate of his daughter.

Aaron: It makes sense!

And Daryl Grady of the Globe loved Bobby’s dancing.

Aaron: I already did it.

Without me?

Bobby: Randy, Harv, help me out here!

If you just wrote it last night, what are the musicians playing?

Aaron: I wrote a brand new melody to fit the old orchestra parts

very smart.

Cioffi: No, I’m the one who should be thanking you.

Bambi, your dance really was good.

Bambi: I told you, Bobby, just give me a chance and I won’t let you down.

And don’t pay attention to what your mother says. At least no one can ever claim that you’re in this show because of nepotism.

Cioffi: long pargraph

no one has anything to say

Can you blame us? If I recall, one of those death threats said “MAKE ANOTHER SOUND AND YOU’LL END UP UNDER GROUND.”

Cioffi: Exactly. But Georgia…I never read that particular death threat out loud.

What?

Cioffi: Other than the person who sent it, of course?

But, well then I guess Nikki told me.

Cioffi: Then I’m sorry Georgia, I have no choice but to book you on suspicion of murder.

What are you saying?

Cioffi” I’m more than glad

I was doing something

Arresting me for murder?

Cioffi: That’s not a simple thing to retract

Think about what you’re doing.

Aaron: It was the only way I knew to be near her again. Stuck out of town together, huddled over piano ever each night, who knows what might have happened?

But that’s how Sidney got me to work on the show, Aaron. I wanted the same thing.

Aaron: You did?

I do

Aarom: I son’t understand

I didn’t want you to. Not until I knew how you felt. But you seemed as preoccupied as ever with your music-

Aaron: because our songs were the one place you and I were still together

Aaron. You said our songs.

thinking of missing the music will start

Thinking of/ I miss the music will end

Wait a second, Cioffi! You know how I knew that particular death threat? You showed it to me when you were questioning me! And you were going to charge me with murder!

aaron: I’ll see you downstairs…partner?

Partner. Thank you, Lieutenant. You played your part very effectively

Bobby: I plead guilty to impersonating Georgians devoted lover

When we first started rehearsals, I asked Bobby if he’d pretend we were involved again, to see if I could sir up something, anything in Aaron.

Cioffi: Good job.

Thank you, Bobby. I’m so grateful.

Cioffi: Just a polite reminder…you’re sill suspects

Right

exit DSR

Carmen: This was Cioffis big idea. Where the heck did he get to?

Yeah, something’s not right

Carmen: Just to boost Jessicas ego?Not a chance

Well maybe it was someone who genuinely liked Jessica performance.

Aaron: Yes, and like every other man in the audience on opening night, I was wearing a tuxedo-

-and I’ll swear I was standing with him the entire time, Lieutenant.

Oscar” Hey, If Robbin Hood, Cioffi, I have you to thank. You ever want a vested suit in a nice gabardine, just drop by my show room. For you, Lieutenant, anything in the store. ten percent off

Funny. Suddenly I feel a flock of butterflies coming out of hibernation in my stomach.

Aaron: yes. lots of unfinished business to take care of…

Before and after the show.

ITS KANSAS FOREVER ( Gunshot)

Georgia as Marian

Why, he shot the other bulletin half!

Bambi* (Belle du jour) Look, it's Rob Hood

I wonder what face belongs to those lips I longed to kiss?

Randy( Parson Tuck) You cane to us a stranger, rid of this place of crime and gave us new hope in ourselves

That’s gonna be one tough act to follow!
