SMASH CAST – Let’s Be Bad

[CHORUS GIRLS]
When we’re feeling down and low,
Then our favorite word is no
Cause it points the way to go.
[The rest of the Chorus girls come on]
Let’s be bad.
Who knows what will come tomorrow?
Neighbor, lose the sauce and sorrow.
Here’s some sugar you can borrow.
Let’s be bad.

[spoken]
[ASSISTANT]
Does anyone think she’ll actually show up? Is she even on set?
[ASSISTANT 2]
Ms. Monroe is in her dressing room!
[DIRECTOR]
What kind of shape is she in?
[ASSISTANT]
Her shape ain’t the problem, where is she? We’re gonna be stuck here all night!

[sung]
[CHORUS GIRLS]
Don’t want to be boring
Our twenties are roaring
Let’s punish the flooring
Yeah drummer man, do what you can
Tonight the (whoo!) will hit the fan!

[spoken]
[DIRECTOR]
How many take did we do yesterday? 60?
[ASSISTANT]
You know, someone should fire her!
[ASSISTANT 2]
Fire Miss Monroe?!

[sung]
If you need some more enticing,
Here’s a girl with twice the spicing
We’re the cake, but she’s the icing!
Let’s be bad.
Let’s be bad.

[The lights and chorus all focus up center, Marilyn is nowhere to be seen]

[spoken]
[DIRECTOR]
Arthur, where is she?
[ARTHUR MILLER]
She’s in her dressing room, she’s not feeling well.
[DIRECTOR]
I’m not feeling well either, get her out here, now!

[The warehouse door to Stage 5 opens, revealing Marilyn along with Assistant 2 and Assistant 3]

[MARILYN]
Here she is boys, Marilyn Monroe in the flesh, all ready to film yet another thrilling movie about a dumb blonde.
[ARTHUR]
Marilyn, you look wonderful.
[MARILYN]
And that’s all that matters, isn’t it?
[ARTHUR]
Darling, so many pills…
[MARILYN]
How do you expect me to keep going? You’re not bringing in any dough. Somebody has to support us.
[DIRECTOR]
Let’s take it from her entrance.
[MARILYN]
Where’s my mark?
[ASSISTANT 2]
Right this way Miss Monroe, follow me.
[DIRECTOR]
Action!

[sung]
[CHORUS GIRLS:]
Let’s be bad!
Let’s be bad!

[MARILYN]
If you say something is taboo,
Well, that’s the thing I want to do.
Do it till we’re black and blue,
Let’s be bad.

Guns and gangsters suit me fine.
Al Capone is a buddy of mine.
He’s my big-shot valentine.
Let’s be bad.

If spirits are sagging
If feet are ‘a dragging
Fall off of that wagon.
The piano hums to the bass and drums,
And I’ll be dancing when Hoover comes.

Don’t care if you’ve tied the knot,
Most folks want what they ain’t got.
Melt the ice, some like it hot.
Let’s be bad.

Here’s my whistle, make it “whetter.”
Let me wear that scarlet letter.
When I’m bad I’m even better.
Let’s be bad.

[spoken]
[DIRECTOR:]
What a mess! She’s so doped up I can’t use any of this!

[sung]
[MARILYN]
Say “bye-bye, propriety!”
No polite society
Give me notoriety!
Let’s be bad.

[spoken]
[ASSISTANT 2]
You’re fabulous, Marilyn!
[ARTHUR:]
The whole world adores you!
[ASSISTANT:]
Keep dancing, you’re gorgeous!

[sung]
Bring on the vices!
Don’t care what the price is!
I’ll add the right spices,
When the stand-up bass slaps you in the face,
Well, it ain’t my husband I’ll embrace.

I can’t see the use in waiting.
Your lips are intoxicating
Do my hips need some translating?
Let’s be bad.

If I drown in bathtub gin,
Notify my next of kin,
They might grieve, or might jump in!
Let’s be bad.

Who wants plays and O’Neill dramas?
Gershwin is the cat’s pajamas!
I’m the queen of the red-hot mamas!
Let’s be bad.

Each crook and G-man
Each cop and he-man
Just stick with me, man!
Every joint’s a juke with my red-hot uke,
And just like Judas once said to Luke,

Here’s the key for my ignition,
Hit the gas to my transmission!
When you hear the things I’m wishing’
You won’t offer opposition!
Let’s prohibit Prohibition!
Let’s be bad!

Some like it hot, and that ain’t bad!

SMASH CAST – Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Ooooo hoooooo hoooooo…
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There’s a land that I dreamed of
Once in a lullaby…

Somewhere…

SMASH CAST – Let Me Be Your Star

[Karen:]
Fade in on a girl
With a hunger for fame,
And a face and a name to remember.
The past fades away
Because as of this day,
Norma Jean’s gone.
She’s moving on…

Her smile and your fantasies play a duet
That will make you forget where you are.
The music starts playing,
It’s the beat of her heart saying…
Let me be your star.

[Ivy:]
Flashback to a girl
With a song in her heart,
As she’s waiting to start the adventure.
The fire and drive
That make dreams come alive…
They fill her soul.
She’s in control…

The drama, the laughter, the tears just like pearls-
Well, they’re all in this girl’s repertoire.
It’s all for the taking,
And it’s magic we’ll be making;
Let me be your star.

[Both:]
I’ll just have to forget the hurt that came before,

[Karen:]
Forget what used to be.

[Ivy:]
The past is on the cutting room floor,

[Karen:]
The future is here with me.

[Both:]
Choose me!
Fade up on a star
With it all in her sights…
All the love and the lights
That surround her.
Someday she’ll think twice
Of the dues and the price

[Ivy:]
She’ll have to pay

[Karen:]
She’ll have to pay

[Ivy:]
But not today…

[Karen:]
But not today…

[Both:]
Then she’ll do all she can
For the love of one man,
And for millions who look from afar.
And what you’ve been needing
Is all here in my heart, pleading…
Let me be your star!

Smash Cast feat. Bernadette Peters Megan Hilty – Hang The Moon

If our lives were a movie
I’d know what to do
I’d write every scene with my heart
An archaeal picture that stars me and you
And this time I’d learn my part

I’d paint you some scenery
We’d sing, and we’d dance
From morning till late afternoon
And when that scene is done
Then I’d paint down the sun
And for you darling, I’ll hang the moon

We’d wake up to sunshine
Like lights on a set
You’d reach out and there’d be my hand
All day there’d be music, a perfect duet
That flows from the white baby grand

At night when you’re frightened
I’ll play you to sleep
That melody from Clair de Lune
And to fill up the sky As the clouds, I would fly
And for you darling, I’ll hang the moon

Hang the moon forever
So you’d never fear the darkness
The darkness I’ve known
Moon protect Norma Jean
So that she’ll never be alone
Never alone

If our lives were a movie
Then you’d be the star
Cause now I know the role I should play
To applaud all you do
All the things that you are
And just be there on opening day

I know in the past
That the lines were all wrong
And the music was never in tune
But the wish that I make Is for just one more take
Because then darling I’ll hang the moon

I’ll hang the moon above you
So that you’ll never fear the darkness
The darkness of night
Then you’ll know I love you
Each time that you feel the light
Feel the light

If our lives were a movie
Then I’d cut away
All the moments when I wasn’t there
The scenes that are happy
Are all that will stay
The rest will dissolve into air

As the final reel ends
We might both shed a tear
For the ending is coming out soon
But when the screen fades to black
We can smile and look back
And for you darling I’ll hang the moon

SMASH CAST – Grenade

Easy come, easy go
That’s just how you live oh
Take, take, take it all
But you never give

Should’ve known
You was trouble
From the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open?

Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash you did
To give me all your love
Is all I ever asked
Cause what you don’t understand is that

I’d catch a grenade for you (yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for you (yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for you (yeah, yeah)
You know I’d do anything for you (yeah, yeah)
Oooh oh
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes I would die for you baby
But you won’t do the same

No, no, no, nooo

Black, black, black and blue
Beat me till I’m numb
Tell the devil I said “hey” when you get back to where you’re from
Mad woman, bad woman
That’s just what you are
Yeah you smile in my face then
Rip the breaks out my car

Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love
Is all I ever asked
Cause what you don’t understand is that

I’d catch a grenade for you (yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for you (yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for you (yeah, yeah)
You know I’d do anything for you (yeah, yeah)
Oooh oh
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes I would die for you baby
But you won’t do the same

If my body was on fire
Ouh, you’d watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me you’re a liar
Cause you never, ever, ever did baby

But darling I’ll still catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah)
You know I’d do anything for ya (yeah, yeah)
Oooh, oh
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you baby
But you won’t do the same

No, you won’t do the same
You wouldn’t do the same
Ouh, you’ll never do the same
No, no, no, nooo

SMASH CAST – Don’t Forget Me

They thought they could dispose of me
They tried to make me small
I suffered each indignity
But now rise above it all

Yes, the price I paid was all I had
But at last, I found release
And if something good can come from bad
The past can rest in peace

Oh if you see someone’s hurt
And in need of a hand
Don’t forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
You don’t forget me

When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds you wish were all free
Please say that you won’t;
I pray that you don’t forget me

But forget every man who I ever met
‘Cause they only lived to control
For a kiss they paid a thousand
Yet they paid fifty cents for my soul
They took their piece
The price of fame that no one can repay
Ah, but they didn’t buy me when they bought my name
And that is why I pray

That when you see someone’s hurt
And in need of a hand
You don’t forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
You don’t forget me

When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds you wish were all free
Please say that you won’t;
I pray that you don’t forget me

There are some in this world who have strength on their own
Never broken or in need of repair
But there are some born to shine who can’t do it alone
So protect them and take special care
Take care

And don’t forget me
Please take care
And don’t forget me
When you look to the heavens with someone you love
And a light shining bright from afar
Hope you see my face there
And then offer a prayer
And please let me be
Let me be that star

SMASH CAST – Dig Deep

Use the past
Use your pain
Never ever try to entertain
Let Stanislavsky be your umbrella
Mumble your words!
Unless they’re…
Stella!
Use justification, improvisation
Plus some emotional masturbation
Visitor from the Western coast!
Can you dig it
I dig it the most!

In history there’s this doctrine called Monroe
which basically told the enemy where to go
It was created to nurture and protect
But now a new Monroe doctrine is in effect
So go tell Mr. Zanuck to read it and weep
‘Cause I’m not just here to dig
I’m here to dig deep
From the 20th century Foxholes I’m released
And just like the sun, I’m rising in the east
I made a move from that permanent state of sadness
To prove there’s a method to my madness
I’m waking up from that 20th century sleep
I’m not just here to dig
I’m here to dig deep
Well there ain’t no sin to remove your skin
And to take a look under the hood
Mm-hmm
Well you must dispel the outer shell
Though you have to admit my shell looks good
You’re tearing me apart!
I’ll finally get to use my mind’s interior
And not only just my bust and my posterior
‘Cause the true inner self you can’t avoid
And we’re just nuts about Sigmund Freud
So open up my id for a good clean sweep
‘Cause I’m not just here to dig
No, I’m not just here to dig
Oh, I’m not just here to dig
I’m here to dig deep
Motivation, concentration, exploration
So Deep!

Smash Cast feat. Katharine Mcphee – Cut, Print…Moving On

I know I’ve kept you waiting
I know I made you mad
But this time that we’ve spent creating
Was the best time I ever had

Now I love to sit with mem’ries
But they won’t come until we’re gone

So give me a kiss
And cut, print…moving on

Tell me a brand new story
Together, we’ll turn the page
The grass is always greener
On some new technicolor stage

And if a duckling never swims
She’ll never become a swan
Yes, I’m diving in
So cut, print…moving on

Yes, there have been nights I’ll long to relive
But sometimes you gotta roam
You can’t fight when something’s gotta give
But you’ll always be my home away from home

Now, I like to play a love scene
But don’t let it last too long
Play me the eight bar intro
Of some new lush romantic song

I’m not afraid to take that leap
With you to depend upon
Now, tell me your name?
Cut, print…moving on

We told the same jokes
We breathed the same air
We couldn’t tell night from day
But just like the end of a love affair
We all know the time comes to break away

Last year, we all were strangers
This year, we’re lifelong friends
I know that this location
Is not where our story ends

Get up cause the rat race never ends
This life is a marathon
And I plan to run so much more than a sprint
What’s next? Well, I can’t even give you a hint

But boys, that’s a wrap
So, cut! Print!
Moving on!
And on!
Moving on!

SMASH CAST – Crazy Dreams

Hello you long shots
You dark horse runners
Hairbrush singers, dashboard drummers
Hello you wild magnolias
Just waiting to bloom

There’s a little bit of all that inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true

I stood at the bottom of some walls I thought I couldn’t climb
I felt like Cinderella at the ball just running out of time
So I know how it feels to be afraid
Think that it’s all gonna slip away
Hold on, hold on

Here’s to you free souls, you firefly chasers
Tree climbers, porch swingers, air guitar players
Here’s to you fearless dancers, shaking walls in your bedrooms

There’s a lot of wonder left inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true

Never let a bad day be enough
To go and talk you in to giving up
Sometimes everybody feels like you
Oh, feels like you, just like you
Yeah

I’ve met some go-getters
Some difference makers
Small town heroes, and big chance takers
I’ve met some young hearts with something to prove
Oh, yeah

Here’s to you long shots
You dark horse runners
Hairbrush singers, and dashboard drummers
Here’s to you wild magnolias
Just waiting to bloom

There’s a little bit of all that inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
Yeah

SMASH CAST – Brighter Than The Sun

Stop me on the corner
I swear you hit me like a vision
I, I, I wasn’t expecting
But who am I to tell fate where it’s supposed to go with it
Don’t you blink you might miss it
See we got a right to just love it or leave it
You find it and keep it
‘Cause it ain’t every day you get the chance to say

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun

I never seen it, I found this love, I’m gonna feel it
You better believe I’m gonna treat it better than anything I’ve ever had
‘Cause your so damn beautiful,
Read it, Its signed and delivered let’s seal it
Well we go together like peanuts and paydays, and Marley and Reggae,
And everybody needs to get a chance to say

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun

Everything is like a white out, ’cause we shika-shika a shine down
Even when the, when the light’s out but I can see you glow
Got my head up in the rafters, got me happy ever after
Never felt this way before, ain’t felt this way before

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

SMASH CAST – Breakaway

[Ivy:]
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away

I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly
I’ll do what it takes til’ I touch the sky
And I’ll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won’t forget all the ones that I love
I’ll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don’t know where they’ll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I’ll spread my wings
And I’ll learn how to fly
Though it’s not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Breakaway

SMASH CAST – Beautiful

Everyday is so wonderful
Then suddenly
It’s hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I’m so ashamed

I am beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can’t bring me down
Ohh no
So don’t you bring me down today

To all your friends you’re delirious
You’re so consumed
In all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone
Left the puzzle undone
That’s the way it is

You are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can’t bring you down
Ohh no

You are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can’t bring you down
Ohh no
So don’t you bring me down today

No matter what we do
No matter what we say
The sun will shine your way
Cause you are beautiful today
Everywhere we go
The sun won’t always shine
But tomorrow’s another day
So keep on looking to the sky

We are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words won’t bring us down
Ohh no

We are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can’t bring us down
Ohh no

So don’t you bring me down today
Don’t you bring me down today
Don’t you bring me down
Today

SMASH CAST – Let Me Be Your Star (Reprise)

[Karen:]
Fade in on a girl
With a hunger for fame,
And a face and a name to remember.
The past fades away
Because as of this day,
Norma Jean’s gone.
She’s moving on…

[Ivy:]
Her smile and your fantasies play a duet
That will make you forget where you are.
The music starts playing,
It’s the beat of her heart saying:

[Karen:]
Let me be your star.

SMASH CAST – A Thousand And One Nights

[Dev:]
Darling, the hands of time must always point ahead, yesterday’s passed
Today has come and gone, the secret of tomorrow’s coming fast
Which bedtime story shall I sing to you when we turn out the lights?
One of eternity or one of just a thousand and one nights?
Is there a mystic with the answers from above?
Is there a goddess with the hourglass of love?
So many questions swirling all around my heart
Is this the end or just the start?
Will I shower you with riches every year the night we met?
Will you take my heart or melt it likes it’s gold?
Will our love go on forever or is this all that we get?
Is tonight the last or does the future hold
A lifetime of delights
Or just a thousand and one nights?
[Karen:]
Darling, you seem to think that I’m the only who has to choose
That you are in control and get to set the rules of win or lose
The bedtime story that I’ll sing to you when we turn out the lights
May bring eternity or maybe just a thousand and one nights
There is no mystic with the answers from above
You know the secrets for the way to keep my love
There are a thousand and more ways to win my heart
The list is long but for a start
You can shower me with riches every year the night we met
I may take your heart and melt it like it’s gold
Play in someone’s perfumed garden and this night’s the last you’ll get
Play your cards right and your future just might hold
A lifetime of delights
Or just a thousand and one nights
Just a thousand and one nights
[Karen:]
The man who never chooses finds himself without a choice
[Dev:]
The lucky ones appear to have it all
[Karen:]
The tiger’s just a kitten when his tamer finds her voice
[Dev:]
I surely will obey you when you call
[Ensemble:]
Then will you shower me with riches every year the night we met?
Will you take my heart and melt it likes it’s gold?
Will our love go on forever or is this all that we get?
Is tonight the last or does the future hold
A lifetime of delights
Or just a thousand and one nights
Just a thousand and one nights

SMASH CAST – A Song For You

I’ve been so many places in my life and time
I’ve sung a lot of songs I’ve made some bad rhyme
I’ve acted out my life on stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we’re alone now and I’m singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I’ve treated you unkindly but darlin’ can’t you see
There’s no one more important to me
Darlin’ can’t you please see through me
Cause we’re alone now and I’m singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I’m so much better and if my words don’t come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there’s no space or time
I need you in my life, you’re a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
Yes, We were alone and I was singing this song for you
