The Lorax Musical Rewrite: Act 1, Scene 1

Look, just assume that for this first scene, everyone is singing unless indicated otherwise. Also, listen to “Thneedville (Demo)” before reading, so you can know what they are actually singing. Btw, I didn’t write the song, I just planned out the stage directions and other details not related to lyrics.

Act 1, Scene 1:

Setting: Thneedville

(Lights slowly go up on an empty stage as the beginning of “Thneedville (Demo)” starts playing. On stage are the buildings and streets of Thneedville, or at least the basics. All the buildings are broken and crumbled, and everything is a slightly bleak color)

Ensemble

In Thneedville

It’s a brand new day

(As the ensemble begins to sing, they gradually enter the stage, acting out daily life. All are dressed in far too many clothes, and some are holding shopping bags filled to the brim with random objects)

Ensemble

Can’t see the sun

But we like it that way

(Ensemble pauses what they are doing before turning their heads towards the audience)

Ensemble

Here in Get-More-Than-We-Need-Ville

(All go back to what they were doing)

Ensemble

In Thneedville

Where the buildings are broke

(Where the buildings are broke)

And the streetlights drop

And the chemicals flow

Little Girl

(Standing front center stage) I just went swimming, and now I glow! (Runs offstage)

Ensemble

(All put their hands on over their hearts and face towards audience) Just one place has stayed the same

The hill that bares our founder’s name

A tradition we maintain

Random Man

Soon to become a pizza chain!

Ensemble

Pizza chain!

Pizza chain!

(Everyone goes back to what they were doing before Mr. O’Hare enters from upstage right and walks grandly over to upstage center, followed by a bodyguard. All turn to Mr. O’Hare)

Ensemble

(Cheerfully) Oh look it’s Aloysius O’Hare (Aloysius O’Hare)

The man who

Bottle up fresh air

And became a zillionaire!

(All lights on stage go off except for a spotlight on O’Hare, who has walked to center stage)

O’Hare

(To audience, as though telling a secret) Everyone round here works for me

I sell them something they should get for free

We’ll live in perfect harmony!

(All stage lights come back up and all surround O’Hare)

Ensemble

In Thneedville!

In Thneedville!

Hip hooray! Hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!

(All stage lights begin to go dark with the cast exiting the stage as a spotlight lands far downstage left, and Ted comes onstage to stand under the spotlight. Ted addresses audience for the rest of the song)

Ted

All I ever wanted is a whose-it

I would never flaunt it

Oh how I’d use it

Everybody has one

Like Jared and Julie and Jim

And even Ronald Shnook has one

And nobody’s lamer than him

(Lovingly) And I would play with it all day (Play with all day)

And never ever lose it (Never lose it)

Cause all I’ve ever wanted is a whose-it

(Hesitates) Except-

(Runs to downstage center, spotlight following him)

For the time that I wanted a scooter

A cell phone, a trombone, a laptop computer

A sports car, an SUV, robot that looks like me

A broadsword, a surfboard, a gas powered sled

Little pet monkey that danced on my head!

But this!

This is totally different!

Cause all I’ve ever wanted in my life

Is the stuff that I

Don’t have

(Stage lights come back up as the ensemble re enters stage and dance their instructed choreography. Ted doesn’t join them, instead staying in place as he looks straight at the audience or slightly upwards, depending on director’s instructions)

Ensemble

In Thneedville, it’s a brand new day!

Ted

All I ever wanted is the stuff that I don’t have!

Ensemble

Can’t see the sun

But we like it that way!

Here in Get-More-Than-We-Need-Ville!

Ted

Want it terribly!

Ensemble

In Thneedville!

Ted

Want it horribly!

Ensemble

You’re never alone

Ted

All I ever wanted is the stuff that I don’t have!

Ensemble

Because you always

Got the stuff that you own

Ted

Where is the stuff that I

Haven’t had?

Ensemble

Here in Spend-Until-You-Bleed-Ville!

Growing-Like-A-Weed-Ville!

Please-Don’t-Mention-Greed-Ville!

We’re happy here in

Thneedville!

Having white hair is cool, especially when it represents an old and wise person.

shadow the hedgehog is cool. gunblades are cool. vampires are cool. scythes are cool. white hair is cool. we need to stop lying about what is not cool

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

Er

The thing is their friendship was complicated in many fronts, but yeah, it was real and toxic, and definitely romanticized. They both had lose, abandonment and other issues since childhood and developed different ways to deal and face their lives, they still had a real love for each other(platonic) but the way both viewed and handled each other was toxic and naive before their beef, then remember that the music industry is a hellish business that helped to deteriorate their mentalities and consequently their relationship, it was just matter of time until it bombed and went downhill, but the good bits and the love was still there, and so it was romanticized by people, the media and themselves cause those bits are enough to feed the image of mystified relationship and cover their disconnections.

When they had the break up they founded a new world and had realizations about their realities, the 70s was the decade they started to process what happened with them with some free mind, although the early 70s was a mess, in the end they came in terms with their views, feelings and (maybe) their relationship.

John's hard relationship with "Yesterday" (MASTERPOST)

1965: On August 1, 1965 Paul performs "Yesterday" on the TV special Blackpool Night Out. During rehearsals before the show, the Beatles entourage watches Paul run through "Yesterday" along with the stage crew. Afterwards John makes a "loud and decidedly sarcastic remark" deriding the song in front of everyone present. Beatles publicist Tony Barrow says the remark "upset Paul for several hours".

2. 1971: John came over to my loft one day and he was all excited,” [DJ Howard Smith] recalls. “He said, ‘I think I finally wrote a song with as good a melody as Yesterday.’” Sat at Smith’s piano, Lennon revealed he had a title – Imagine – but only a smattering of lyrics. For the rest he sang ‘scrambled eggs’. “He played it through and asked me what I thought. ‘It’s beautiful.’ ‘But is it as good as Yesterday?’ ‘They’re impossible to compare.’ So he played it again. And again. And he said, ‘You’ll see, it’s just as good as Yesterday.’ - Howard Smith, interview w/ Danny Eccleston for MOJO: John Lennon was haunted by yesterday, says confidante. (July 8th, 2013)

3. 1970: An excerpt from "God" from "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band" album: The dream is over, what can I say? The dream is over, Yesterday...

4. 1971: An excerpt from "How do you sleep?" from "Imagine" album: The only thing you've done was Yesterday, and since you've gone is just Another Day...

5. 1971: John and Yoko celebrate John’s 31st birthday in their hotel room in Syracuse, New York, surrounded by friends and guests. John sings: Why he had to go, I don’t know, he wouldn’t say… 

6. “Yesterday drove him crazy,” veteran New York journo/broadcaster Howard Smith told MOJO. “People would say, ‘Thank you for writing Yesterday, I got married to it, what a beautiful song…’ He was always civil. But it drove him nuts.” [x] MY CONCLUSION: John's relationship with Yesterday, like his relationship with Paul, was complicated. He clearly appreciated the song as one of McCartney's best, but on the other hand he was very jealous and fierce, and even a few years later set "Yesterday" as a role model. Most interesting is the mention of "Yesterday" in "How do you sleep?". Lennon simultaneously challenges everything Paul has done, but is unable to deny that this one song is a masterpiece. Certainly an important factor was that "Yesterday" is the first Beatles song to feature only Paul. Newspapers declared: "Paul McCartney #1 without the other Beatles". This must have appealed to John's abandonment issues. Not only was he afraid he was a worse songwriter than Paul, but he was also terrified that he would be abandoned by McCartney and the other Beatles.

They have a lot of parallels, maybe it's because in the writing sense Luka was created from Adrien's rib(allegorically speaking), Luka was created to foil and represent an inverse vision about his civil identity

Thinking abt the parallels between Luka and Adrien (+ their daddy issues)

Physically vs. Emotionally absent dads

How they both play their dad’s instrument

How they both wear their dad’s merch

How they both had preconceived notions of their dad before knowing it was Their Dad™ (Jagged Stone as Luka’s favorite artist and Hawk Moth as Adrien’s literal archenemy)

How Luka was abandoned and refuses to abandon others + How Adrien had to earn his father’s time and thinks he has to earn everyone else’s

= How they both are ASS at setting boundaries because of it

How (super randomly btw) the girl they dated happened to design things for their dad

^ How Gabriel didn’t even remember Mari despite her having a very active role in Adrien’s life, while Jagged Stone was closer to her than he was to his son

How Luka’s dad isn’t really ‘gone’ like Adrien’s mom is, but Adrien’s dad isn’t really ‘present’ like Luka’s mom is

^ How they’re both a living reminder of their ‘gone’ parent (dyed hair/blue eyes, blonde hair/green eyes) to their ‘present’ parent

+ Also think it’s neat how their outfits contrast (black vs. silver ring, white vs. black shirt, blue vs. blond hair); opposites, yet not opposite at all.

can't get over after everything they saw, simon's response is just "we'll find a crown to curse me in the right way." like here we have a universe that proves there is no happy ending for ice king & that the only way for him to find anything close as ice king is to make someone else miserable and yet its just. well there has to be a better crown. meanwhile marshall & gary are having their own little meet cute in fionna's apartment like turns out you CAN be happy in a world without magic and all you need to do is go grocery shopping with your friends!!
