11/16/18 - SCHOOL EDITION Copyright © 2002 by Queen and Ben Elton. All rights reserved. Greetings, directors of WE WILL ROCK YOU: School Edition,

Congratulations on choosing such a great show. It offers many creative possibilities and unique performance opportunities. Whether with a large cast or small, WE WILL ROCK YOU: School Edition offers great roles for men and really great roles for women. I had a wonderful experience directing and designing the show and I would like to share some of our experiences, especially with the production elements.

There is no definitive way to design the show. However, evoking the environment of a rock concert is a good place to start. We rented four floor trusses and used them, two on each side of the stage, for lighting. A unit set of scaffolding or platforms is a helpful solution to consider. Our set was a variation on that and several platform pieces were movable. Lighting is really the key to the show, and moving lights, if available, are a big help, especially for the “Flash” and “” scene as well as for the attack that kills Brit. We only rented two because of budget constraints, but more would be great.

Projections were a big part of our production (and several others I’ve seen), but they are an enhancement, not a necessity. The only projections that I highly recommend is the slide show at the very beginning during the intro of “Innuendo”. The flashing forward of the history of really sets up the world of the show for the audience. We also used projections for “” and the GlobalSoft scenes. I created our projections, but BMD now offers professional projections for WE WILL ROCK YOU (broadwaymediadistribution.com/we-will-rock-you- scenic-projections/). Our screens were on either side of the proscenium, and we mounted a third on our first electric projecting on the cyc. Rear projection can be quite effective if you have the space and proper projectors.

For other scenery, I built a large ‘ruined’ Hard Rock Café TRWguitar sign to setPerusal the scene for the Bohemians. The other important piece of scenery is the gates of Graceland. Since it was a ruin, we made only one of the Elvis figured gates but kept the two gateposts. One gatepost was rigged with the hidden guitar and some LED lights inside. We also had a GlobalSoft sign on our Notturning unit forset, but itProduction could also be flown or projected. It also helped to have the upper level for Khashoggi and to lord over the “Yuppies”. We had a field day with props using light sabers for canes for the Yuppies, and all manner of flashing lights for use on the helmets of pain and flashing light ray guns for the Doctors. For costumes, we made white oversized tee shirts with Ga Ga Logos that were worn with white pants, shorts or skirts. We also spent money on platinum wigs for the Ga Ga Kids to further create a generic society that stood in stark contrast to the Bohemians. Each Yuppie was put in a black jump suit with silver trim and wore safety goggles and a black wig cap with a silver “K” painted on it, and a few wore gaming headphones with microphones. The last two and most import necessities are how you choose to deal with (1) the videotape that has the video on it (that is to be played in a VCR under an old tube TV) and (2) the famous statue of . For the VCR, we had the Bohemians gather around the TV set and played the video on the side screens, but you could also just play the music as they crowd in front of the TV. You could also try to use a hidden DVD to be played when the tape is inserted. I will say that seeing the video was important because one of the jokes might be lost without the visual. The Freddie statue was fairly easy. It could be another projection, but we edited an image of the statue in Photoshop and then put it into a Page Layout Program that let us tile the image and print it into a 6-foot size. We then put the puzzle pieces together, mounted the image to a board and cut out the figure. In effect we made a light weight and movable, near life size, Freddie standee cut out.

We also used the tracks versus an orchestra and it made our rehearsals go much faster. In the end, the most important advice is to have the actors study Queen and Freddie’s style and phrasings and just have fun. I loved working on this show. It was a memorable and rewarding experience for my staff, my students, myself and especially our audiences. I know it will be for you as well.

Good luck,

CAST OF CHARACTERS

GALILEO FIGARO (Male) A misfit, who keeps hearing voices and songs in his head delivering messages he doesn’t understand. Galileo refuses to dress like a Ga Ga kid and has been caught trying to make music. He is confused and unaware that he is the one the Bohemians have been waiting for.

SCARAMOUCHE (Female) Another misfit, who also gets into trouble with the Secret Police, Scaramouche meets Galileo in a hospital and they run away together. Her sharp wit keeps Galileo on his toes, and gradually they fall for each other.

KILLER QUEEN (Female) Killer Queen is a ruthless businesswoman in charge of Globalsoft, the worldwide corporation which is responsible for the suppression of all live music. Once a character in a Globalsoft computer game, she uploaded herself into her programmer. She’s half human, half pixelated, and all bad.

KHASHOGGI (Male) He works for Killer Queen, going after the Bohemians to eradicate all original or creative musical thoughts from the iPlanet.

SECRET POLICE (Male and/or Female) These semi-automated characters carry out the bidding of the Killer Queen and Khashoggi.

GA GA KIDS/TEEN QUEENS (Male and Female) Living in a world of consumerism and downloadable music, the Ga Ga kids don’t notice their own soulless-ness.

TRWBUDDY (Male) Buddy Perusal is a librarian and a hippy who has studied the sacred musical texts to the extent that even Globalsoft cannot entirely erase them from his mind. He’s a comic character who acts as a foil to Galileo and Scaramouche. Not for Production THE BOHEMIANS (Male and Female) A group of rebels, determined to fight against Globalsoft and its downloadable music. Their base is the Hard-Rock Cafe and they have taken the names of musical heroes from the past.

The following Bohemians have speaking lines: PAUL MC CARTNEY (Male) MADONNA (Female) SIXX (Male or Female) QUATRO (Male or Female) BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN (Male or Female) JACKSON (Male or Female) ARETHA (Female) MICK JAGGGER (Male or Female) PUFF (Male or Female)

BRIT (Male - ) and OZ (Female – Ozzy Osbourne) Two of the Bohemians who are committed to expose the secrets of live music, and who believe that someone will come who will show the Bohemians the way. When they find Scaramouche and Galileo they are unsure at first but are eventually persuaded that Galileo does have strange musical lyrics in his head over which he has no control. When the Secret Police attack the Bohemian hide out, Brit is killed, and Oz is captured along with the other Bohemians.

ACT ONE

PROLOGUE

Director’s Note: The prologue can be a voice-over, one actor, or divided between numerous actors.

The projections package from BMD includes a projection option for the prologue. If you use projections, #1 INNUENDO, should be the underscore. After which begin the show in Scene 1.

(Through the darkness, the legend scrolls on the screen...)

The time is the future… The place is the iPlanet once called earth… Life is lived online… No crowd gathers, no band plays… But still there are some that have not forgotten… That long ago… In a better time…

Before Globalsoft… And before internet gaga… There was real life… There was real love… And for one brief shining moment… There was Rock!!

#1 INNUENDO

(The lights fade, and the magnificent VAST music fills the air... lights, TRWsmoke, Perusal etc... the music is Innuendo ... the voice: FREDDIE’s)

FREDDIE (RECORDED) OOH,Not OHH for Production WHILE HANGS IN THE SKY AND THE DESERT HAS SAND WHILE THE WAVES CRASH IN THE SEA AND MEET THE LAND WHILE THERE’S A WIND AND THE STARS AND THE RAINBOW TILL THE MOUNTAINS CRUMBLE INTO THE PLAIN OH

SCENE 1

THE HINTERLAND

(As Innuendo concludes, there are sirens, search lights, the sound of a helicopter...a rock n’ roll rebel figure appears on the run...he is BUDDY, an easy riding, hippy kind of a dude...he holds a videotape in his hand and as the sirens fade, he stuffs it down the back of his pants...then he punches the air.)

BUDDY Long live Rock ‘n’ Roll! I must save the rebel archive! The truth must never be forgotten! I have yet to discover the exact reason why Rock ‘n’ Roll died, but my research suggests that it had something to do with an ancient entertainment phenomenon known as--! Soon new pop stars were being created at such a rate that they were famous for less time than it took to play their records! Culture imploded. Globalsoft activated its mainframe and the kids uploaded their souls.

KHASHOGGI Find the rebel dude. We must bring back the stolen tape. The kids must never know the power of Rock.

SCENE 2

VIRTUAL HIGH SCHOOL

#2 RADIO GA GA

(The opening drumbeat of RADIO GA GA kicks in...as BUDDY disappears, ranks of clone- like KIDS appear...they have fixed smiles and move with choreographed symmetrical movements...they are dressed not quite identically, but in very similar clothes to each other...happy, kooky, and sexlessly sexy...there is something sinister about their smiles and clothes, like STEPFORD KIDS.)

GALILEO Hey, you!

GA GA KIDS Yeah. What?

GALILEO You’re all fools. Clones. GA GA sheep.

GA GA KIDS OMG. LOL. HASHTAG. LOSER.

(The KIDS just laugh and scatter, ignoring the weirdo...the TEACHER, however, tries to talk to him at his level.)

TEACHER Hey, ‘Dude’, chillax. It’s graduation. Your life is just beginning.

GALILEO Good. The sooner it begins, the sooner it’s over with.

TEACHER But you have so much potential. You could get a job with any division of Globalsoft you want. How about Music Programming?

GALILEO I don’t want to program music. I want to make music. My own music.

TEACHER (shocked and a little scared) Hey, Dude! Cool it! Now you listen to me, WWW--Gordon-at- Tumbler-Face-Space-Twit-dot-com.

GALILEO TRWMy name is Galileo Perusal Figaro! I want a name not a User ID.

TEACHER Galileo Figaro? Where on the iPlanet did you come up with that? Not for Production

GALILEO I found it, in a dream. I have dreams you see. And I hear noises. Screeching, thudding, b-banging noises. And words, words drop into my head...too many words. I can’t get no satisfaction. Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody! Oops, I did it again.

TEACHER Dude, I get it. I feel your pain. But you live in a perfect world. What more could you possibly want?

#3 I WANT TO BREAK FREE

(GALILEO struggles to find the answer... then it explodes from him, with I Want To Break Free.)

GALILEO I WANT TO BREAK FREE I WANT TO BREAK FREE I WANT TO BREAK FREE FROM YOUR LIES YOU’RE SO SELF SATISFIED I DON'T NEED YOU I'VE GOT TO BREAK FREE GOD KNOWS, GOD KNOWS I WANT TO BREAK FREE

7 (A ray of light descends on GALILEO and he finds himself immobilized in a laser cage...the TEACHER enters with KASHOGGI, the sinister Chief of Globalsoft police... it turns out the TEACHER is a police spy.)

KHASHOGGI You say this boy wants to make his own music?

TEACHER Yes. The little freak says he hears it in his dreams.

KHASHOGGI (to Galileo) You are aware, boy, that music, other than that programmed by the Globalsoft Corporation, is illegal? The act of an individual.

GALILEO I don’t care.

KHASHOGGI (to TEACHER) Has he ever tried to make an instrument?

TEACHER Once in technical studies he was caught trying to stretch plastic string across an empty lunch box.

KHASHOGGI Did he...pluck it?

TEACHER I regret to say he did. Plucked it. Twanged it. And slapped it.

(KHASHOGGI has one of GALILEO’s books...he reads from it.)

KHASHOGGI TRWThese notebooks Perusalthat you scribble in, Galileo, so many notebooks--every day you fill another and then hurl it away. Tell me, what is the meaning of... (reads from notebook) ..."A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom?" Not for Production GALILEO Duh! It means "A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom." (shocks himself on laser cage) Ow!

KHASHOGGI Why are you so concerned with the condition of your Blue Suede Shoes?

GALILEO I don’t know!! Just don’t step on them, that’s all.

KHASHOGGI What do you want, boy?

GALILEO I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want. I really, really, really wanna zig a zig ah.

Director’s Note: An electric zapp SFX is useful throughout this scene. It can be heard as Galileo approaches the edge of the laser cage, or from laser guns held by the Globalsoft police. When Galileo says, “zig a zig ah,” the “ah” could coincide with a zap, giving Galileo the chance to yell “Ahhh!” in pain.

(KHASHOGGI circles GALILEO’s cage.)

KHASHOGGI Don’t play games with me! I’ll make you wish you’d never been born at all.

GALILEO Don’t you think I wish that every day?

TEACHER What is A Yellow Submarine?

KHASHOGGI Where is the Hotel ?

TEACHER TRWWhat is Gangnam PerusalStyle?

KHASHOGGI And why is everybody Kung Fu fighting!? Not for Production GALILEO I don’t know, I tell you!

KHASHOGGI Grandma got run over by a reindeer! Where do you find this rubbish, boy?

GALILEO I wish I knew! I just wrote it, that’s all! It appears in my head!

(KHASHOGGI signals for laser cage off.)

KHASHOGGI Tell me Galileo, do you know what a Bohemian is?

GALILEO Haven't you got it yet? I don't know what anything is.

KHASHOGGI Excellent! I see we've found you just in time. Take him away.

GALILEO I was born this way!!!

(COPS remove a protesting GALILEO... KHASHOGGI turns back to the TEACHER.)

KHASHOGGI Are there any other potential Bohemians across this year’s graduating classes?

TEACHER I am sorry to have to report, Commander, that there is one other, a repulsive creature, a girl.

(SCARAMOUCHE enters...another rebel, dressed in black...she is a Goth, punk, emo girl, angry and driven with self- loathing...she reprises “I Want To Break Free”)

KHASHOGGI Yes, Ma'am, I'm afraid that I do!

KHASHOGGI It is said that a single musical instrument still exists somewhere on the iPlanet, hidden within the living rock, where the King sleeps and music hangs silent in the air.

YUPPIES Oh, no!!

KHASHOGGI Oh, yes!

KILLER QUEEN Does such a place exist?

KHASHOGGI Who can tell, Ma’am? The legend states that he who seeks it must first go where old Rockers never die and where a bright, bright star will show the way.

KILLER QUEEN Star! What bright star! I am the only bright star that counts. Me! The Killer Queen! I, who was once a lowly character in a Globalsoft computer game! I, who made the leap into real time! Uploading myself into my own programmer! I’m half human, half pixelated, and all bad. My one kryptonite is Rock ‘n’ Roll, which is why Rock ‘n’ Roll is dead!

KILLER QUEEN Who are these people? What do they want?

KHASHOGGI They want it all, Ma'am. And they want it now. They want... their Rhapsody.

KILLER QUEEN That is a proscribed word, Commander. No such state of being exists.

KHASHOGGI Not yet, Ma'am.

KILLER QUEEN Not ever! The Bohemian Rhapsody is a myth! A myth, do you hear me? Have you not reported that the euphoria they seek can only be unleashed through music? Real, live, funky, get-down, booty-shakin’, bump and grind, hip-hoppin’, show-stoppin’, be- boppin’, Rock ’n’ Roll music?

KHASHOGGI That is what they believe, Ma'am.

KILLER QUEEN Then there will be no Rhapsody, for there are no instruments left on the iPlanet and the kids will never, EVER rock again! Be gone!

(KHASHOGGI disappears.)

KILLER QUEEN And now, let us return to the real business of Globalsoft. The business of the complete appropriation of the imagination of every kid on the iPlanet! They will laugh when I tell them! Cry when I tell them! And sing what I tell them to sing! Take a memo... TRW Perusal

SCARAMOUCHE So, Gal, tell me, why were you arrested? TRW Perusal GALILEO Because I hear sounds in my head, words and sounds. I'm mad, you see.

GALILEO I don't know.

SCARAMOUCHE Do you know anything?

GALILEO Yes, I know that I'm different. I’m different, you see. Which is why the clones from the Boy Zone hate me.

SCARAMOUCHE The Ga Ga girls hate me.

GALILEO Do you know why they hate you?

SCARAMOUCHE Yeah. They think I’m a lesbian (weird) because I don’t wear pastels.

GALILEO They hate you because they’re scared of you because you’re different. You’re an individual. And they will never forgive you for that.

SCARAMOUCHE Never? Don’t you think maybe they’ll just give up and leave us alone?

GALILEO Don’t you see? We’re a threat.

KILLER QUEEN’S PAD

(A crash of underscore and the KILLER QUEEN and KHASHOGGI enter.)

KILLER QUEEN Well Khashoggi, how goes the rebel pursuit? Have you found this place where ‘Old Rockers’ go to die’?

KHASHOGGI Not yet, Madam. The legend it seems is a myth! Or, if you prefer, the myth is a legend.

KILLER QUEEN I like it both ways.

KILLER QUEEN Khashoggi, we've won! The Bohemians will never achieve their ‘Rhapsody’.

KHASHOGGI With respect, Ma'am, the Bohemians remain dangerous. All they need is a leader--that's all it takes. One young soul rebel. One crazy kid with a dream, a guitar and a babe to fight for.

KILLER QUEEN Could such a hero exist?

KHASHOGGI Oh, but he already does, though he doesn't know it. He does not know himself at all. But I do. I've always had a talent for spotting potential.

KILLER QUEEN And crushing it.

KHASHOGGI TRWThat is my job, PerusalMa'am.

BRIT No! I travel alone. You know that. I can't do the things I have to do if all I'm thinking about... (does three Kung Fu moves) ...is you.

OZ Sometimes I wish you didn’t care so much...that we’d never even heard of the ‘vibe.’

BRIT You don’t mean that.

OZ No, I guess not. But I miss you so much, Baby. It gets tougher every time you go away.

BRIT I’ll come back. I always come back. And one day... (throws out arm and looks at bicep) Babe...check out my guns!

OZ Lookin’ good, hun.

BRIT I know, right? What was I saying?

(At the end of the song they hear the voices of GALILEO and SCARAMOUCHE... BRIT and OZ hide as GALILEO and SCARAMOUCHE enter.)

SCARAMOUCHE Hey, Gal wait up! Where are we going?

GALILEO Out into the night! Down on the streets! We're rebels now, ‘cos, Baby, we were born to run.

SCARAMOUCHE TRWDon't call me Baby!Perusal

GALILEO But it’s a word I hear in my head all the time.

Not forSCARAMOUCHE Production Here’s an idea...

GALILEO What?

SCARAMOUCHE Keep it there.

35

GALILEO No, you don’t understand. I’ve heard these things in my head all my life--all my life I've felt that I have some sort of purpose, a special ‘heroic destiny.’ That has to mean something.

SCARAMOUCHE Maybe you’re just an arrogant, self-important jerk?

GALILEO Look, I know I talk about myself a lot but there’s just so much to talk about. It’s to do with the stuff that I dream. The phrases...they always come back to the same thing. I see gates, beautiful iron gates, decorated with strange symbols...and then come the words...

SCARAMOUCHE Like ooh...What words?

GALILEO "Cross the Seven Seas of Rhye, to where old rockers never die. There seek a bright, bright star to show the way to where the king sleeps and rock hangs silent in the air. There draw forth the mighty axe.”

SCARAMOUCHE A rock hangs in the air? So, no laws of gravity in your dreams then?

GALILEO No, it’s a dream.

SCARAMOUCHE Right you are. Go on.

GALILEO And I dreamt something else too.

SCARAMOUCHE TRWLike, oh my God, Perusal I can hardly wait.

GALILEO A name. A name...for you.

Not forSCARAMOUCHE Production Oh? How could you do that? You only met me today.

GALILEO But you see--I’ve always known that I’d meet you; that there was another Rebel-Rebel out there, another Wild Thing.

36

SCARAMOUCHE Alright. What do you want to call me?

GALILEO (proudly) Scaramouche.

SCARAMOUCHE Scaramouche? Wow, that’s really, really crappy.

GALILEO Well, I dreamt of some others, but frankly, I thought that one was the best.

SCARAMOUCHE What were the others?

GALILEO Honky-Tonk Woman?

SCARAMOUCHE Hate it.

GALILEO Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

SCARAMOUCHE Are you kidding me?

SCARAMOUCHE What!? Alright, I'll take Scaramouche. Scaramouche. TRWActually, I kind Perusal of like it. It sounds...anarchic...almost like...what I think they used to call a tune.

GALILEO A tune.Not Yes. for Production (almost dreaming) Scaramouche...Scaramouche, will you do the fandango...?

SCARAMOUCHE Are you flirting with me?

37

GALILEO No! I don’t think so...

SCARAMOUCHE Then what is “doing the fandango?”

GALILEO I don’t know. Maybe...it’s about being friends.

SCARAMOUCHE Friends? I gave up on those when I reached ten million.

GALILEO No. I don’t mean like on social media. I mean real friends. Not online. In reality.

SCARAMOUCHE Real friends? I...I never had one of those.

GALILEO Me neither. At school they said having real friends was delinquent. “Anti-social media behavior.”

SCARAMOUCHE (this is hard) It would be cool though wouldn’t it? Instead of ten million friends...to have just one...real friend.

GALILEO So...are we friends then?

SCARAMOUCHE (reluctant) I...I guess so...if you want.

GALILEO Oh I do. I really do.

#10 YOU’RE MY BEST FRIEND TRW Perusal SCARAMOUCHE Well, then...okay. You’re my friend. My first and only friend. Not for Production GALILEO Me too, so I guess that makes us...best friends.

BRIT "Honky-Tonk Woman," “Bare Naked Ladies,” “P-P-Poker Face.” Where did you hear this ancient and sacred poetry?

SCENE 8

THE HARD ROCK CAFE

(There are a few tables/stools...the place is filled with broken, faded Rock memorabilia--faded rock posters, washing lines of clothes and costumes and broken gold discs...there are also larger artifacts--a rusting old Harley, a cracked TV and a smashed up juke box...as the song ends the joint is filled with more BOHEMIANS, crazy rock rebels like BRIT and OZ dressed in every confusion of ancient rock styles and iconic costume.)

Director’s Note: As it says on the cast list, the Bohemians have taken the names of musical heroes from the past, such as Paul McCartney, Madonna, Britney Spears, Bruce Springsteen… But they have no idea who these people were or their correct gender. Go for opposites when assigning character names to the Bohemians. Feel free to include the name(s) of any local rockers that your audience might appreciate.

BRIT Welcome to the Hard Rock Café!

(From among the BOHEMIANS comes a leader, BUDDY from the opening scene.)

PAUL Who’s the dude, Brit? Who’s the chick?

BRIT TRWI've found him! PerusalThe one we've been waiting for. The Dreamer!

(There is shock and awe among the BOHEMIANS...BUDDY is not so sure.)

Not for BUDDYProduction You think this kid is the Dreamer?

BRIT I know he is.

PAUL Just because he has a leather jacket doesn’t make him the wild one.

48

BUDDY Well, maybe.

(A tough BOHEMIAN shouts out “SIXX”)

PAUL He looks like a clone from the boy zone to me.

SIXX Dude looks like a Jonas Brother to me.

(The BOHEMIANS laugh at GALILEO derisively... another tough BOHEMIAN shouts out “QUATRO”)

QUATRO Yeah! What’s your name, Dreamer? Miley Cyrus?

(There is more laughter.)

BRIT Nobody twerks the dreamer. He calls himself...Galileo.

(This takes the BOHEMIANS back...they are genuinely shocked by this.)

PAUL Galileo? Then he must have seen the Holy Texts. You sure he ain’t a spy?

QUATRO Little Hannah Montana is a spy!

BRIT He didn’t see nothing! He dreams the words.

SIXX I say we kill him!

(The BOHEMIANS advance towards SCARAMOUCHE and TRWGALILEO Perusal.)

BRIT Anyone who tries to kill the dude has to come passed me! Not for Production (It looks like there’s going to be a fight.)

SIXX I say we don’t kill him.

49

PAUL Hey! Cool it! All of you! Nobody’s killin’ anyone! That ain’t our scene. It ain’t how we roll. So, let’s all just calm down here.

BUDDY (to BRIT and Oz) You say the Dude dreams the words?

OZ Yeah, he calls his chick Scaramouche.

SCARAMOUCHE What’s with this chick business? Do I have feathers? Do I lay eggs?

BUDDY Lady, let me put you wise. The texts teach us that in the Age of Rock, babes were known as chicks.

PAUL It was a mark of respect, second only to fox.

SCARAMOUCHE Something tells me you’ve got that wrong.

BUDDY Well, if I’m honest, I have always kinda wondered.

GALILEO You keep speaking of texts. What are these texts?

BUDDY Just fragments. Nothing more.

(Another BOHEMIAN speaks up, a GIRL called ARETHA.)

ARETHA We have scraps of stuff--magazines... TRW Perusal SCARAMOUCHE Mag-a-zines?

Not for ARETHAProduction Yeah, they were kind of like websites, but they were made of paper and you could touch them.

BUDDY And weird, static commercials, stuck to walls, called posters. We take our names from these clues from the Age of Rock!

50

(All the BOHEMIANS shout out to say their names.)

ARETHA Hey! I'm Aretha!

PAUL And I’m Paul McCartney. They call me Big Mac.

MADONNA I’m Madonna. I’m a material girl.

BRUCE Bruce Springsteen!

JACKSON Jackson Five!

MICK JAGGER !

PUFF P. Puff Diddy Daddy...

BOHEMIANS Dum Diddy Doo. Whoo!!

OZ I'm Oz--Ozzy Osbourne!

BUDDY They call me Buddy. Buddy Holly and the Crickets.

SCARAMOUCHE (to BRIT) So, who are you then?

BRIT I am the biggest, baddest, meanest, nastiest, ugliest, most raging, , rock and rolling, sick, punk, heavy metal, TRWpsycho killer thatPerusal ever got get down funky!! They call me...Britney Spears.

(The BOHEMIANS cheer.) Not for Production GALILEO So, tell me, Buddy Holly and the Crickets, what is this place--this Hard Rock Café?

BUDDY It's a rebel base, the last free-thinking zone on the iPlanet.

51

PAUL And it’s also an archive where we honor and revere the past.

ARETHA We search the global shopping mall for anything we can find from the Age of...

BUDDY Rock!

ARETHA Visiting other rebel bases, other Hard Rock Cafés, the museums of the ancient world.

PAUL Sacred, scholarly places, where the Holy Relics were kept.

GALILEO Wow. And that’s where you got all this cool stuff?

PAUL Mostly. Like this… (points to the busted motorcycle) …It was called a Hairlee--a Hairlee Dahvidsone--and it was Rock’s transport of choice.

GALILEO Very cool. And what’s this?

BUDDY It was called a teely-vy-zee-own. It is said that on just such a machine as this half a billion disciples watched as four Mop Tops reached out to hold America’s hand.

GALILEO What were Mop Tops?

SCARAMOUCHE What was America?

TRW PerusalBUDDY We don’t know. It’s all been forgotten. All we can do is keep the flame alive until we find someone who can remember.

SIXX We got Notone single glovefor owned Productionby a man who could actually walk on the moon!

QUATRO And a surfboard that belonged to some Boys called Beach who couldn’t actually surf!

52

GALILEO And what’s that? (points to a video tape) Is that important too?

BUDDY Oh yes. It’s a vy-day-oh. A vy-day-oh tappee. An ancient scroll of Holy Text.

GALILEO What does it say?

BUDDY We don’t know. We’ve never been able to work out how to unlock its secrets.

SCARAMOUCHE Sooo...not to be a party pooper, but how do you know it’s so Sacred and Holy?

BUDDY The vibe, Sweet Voodoo Child! I felt the vibe! Can you feel the vibe?!

SCARAMOUCHE Uhhh. Nope.

BUDDY You will!! You see, I was once a Globalsoft Archivist at the place where the Secret Histories are kept. One day I found this and felt...

GALILEO The vibe!

BUDDY Yes! So, I grabbed it and I ran! That’s how I joined the Bohemians. The vy-day-oh tappee led me here, drawing me ever closer to...him.

TRW PerusalSCARAMOUCHE And who’s he? Let me guess--you don’t know.

BUDDY Ah, butNot we do, Purple for People Eater!Production We do!

GALILEO See, not so smart.

BUDDY I saw many images of him among the histories! He was a bright, bright star. And his name was Mercury.

SCARAMOUCHE Wow, this is kind of amazing. I’ve dreamed of being part of something like this. But I could never be like you guys.

OZ Why not? You’re a Bohemian now. Hey, you wanna makeover?

SCARMOUCHE No.

(The BOHEMIANS encourage her.)

ARETHA Girlfriend, take it from Aretha. It’s time you learned to love yourself. How about some tight jeans?

SCARAMOUCHE I hate my butt.

ARETHA Short skirt?

SCARAMOUCHE I hate my legs.

PAUL And this place is also a shrine, a shrine to the long dead King.

GALILEO Is that him? (points to the Freddie statue)

BUDDY No. The King ruled even before Mercury.

QUATRO Before the Mop Tops and the Moonwalker.

SIXX Before the Purple , the Stones that Rolled, and Bootilitious Beeyonkee.

PAUL He began it all.

GALILEO But who was he?

#12 NO ONE BUT YOU

BUDDY Little is known about him, except that his name was Pelvis. A poor boy from nowhere, who sang like an angel and danced like the devil. A teenage truck driver who broke free to become a mighty rebel, a rebel who spawned a thousand rebels.

MADONNA But he was too wild, too free. So, they took him, and they TRWcut off his hair Perusal and they put him in the army.

BRUCE Then they humiliated him. The King was forced to make foolishNot movies singing for nursery Production rhymes to gangs of grinning children.

PUFF It broke his spirit. He took refuge in drugs and pills and cheeseburgers.

SIXX Like a million kids that followed. The king was dead.

55

BUDDY And many kings and heroes died thereafter.

PAUL The songs have been lost, but their names live on.

BUDDY We remember those that died young, Jimi Hendrix. Kurt Cobain.

ARETHA Jim Morrison.

SIXX Janice Joplin.

JACKSON FIVE Chester Bennington.

MADONNA .

ARETHA John Lennon.

BOHEMIANS We don’t know!!

SCARAMOUCHE Why am I not surprised?

BRIT We’ve spent our whole lives trying to find out.

BUDDY All we know is that whosoever wields it will make grown men scream and girls throw their panties at him.

OZ We think the axe was a musical instrument.

BUDDY Wise words, Ozzy Osbourne. Maybe it was...and if Brit is right, you are the dude who will find it and Rock ‘n’ Roll will be reborn.

GALILEO Me, find the instrument? I don't even know what one looks like!

BRIT I do! I've been working on this for months. (produces a broom-handle bass) TRW Perusal BRIT The only problem is...I can't play it. Fortunately, can.

Not(A tough -lookingfor MALE Production BOHEMIAN grabs the bass and plays a line.)

BRIT Mmm...Sweet, sweet noise. You see Galileo, these days what passes for music is created only for money, which is why it has no soul. But when Rock ‘n’ Roll began, you know why they did it?

GALILEO Why?

BRIT They did it for their babies of course, like me and Oz or you and Scaramouche.

KHASHOGGI What do you know about the “bright star?" Where is “the place where the King sleeps and rock hangs silent in the air?"

OZ They’re freedom words, Pig, words the Dreamer used. We don't know what they mean.

KHASHOGGI For what it's worth, your 'dreamer' knows no more about the place of ‘bright star’ and the ‘silent rock’ than you or I do. He is a poor idiot, parroting phrases, which he does not understand. Still, he led me to you and for that I am grateful.

BUDDY Are you going to kill us?

KHASHOGGI Oh, please, Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Globalsoft is not some medieval inquisition. We are merely going to destroy your souls. Empty your brains of such absurd notions as real music and individual thought.

BUDDY You’re sending us to Disneyland?

SCARAMOUCHE How did Khashoggi find the Hard Rock Cafe? He must have some other way of tracking us.

GALILEO Wait!

GALILEO The hospital! When they operated on our heads!

GALILEO I think...I think I’ve found something.

SCENE 6

THE HARD ROCK CAFÉ

#20 THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES

(Back in The Hard Rock Café, all the BOHEMIANS are there but listless, brain dead, washed up...BUDDY is the only one still standing...he sings Days of Our Lives.)

BUDDY SOMETIMES I GET TO THINKING I WAS BACK IN THE OLD DAYS LONG AGO WHEN WE WERE KIDS WHEN WE WERE YOUNG THINGS SEEMED SO PERFECT YOU KNOW

THE DAYS WERE ENDLESS WE WERE CRAZY WE WERE YOUNG THE SUN WAS ALWAYS SHINING WE JUST LIVED FOR FUN SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE LATELY I JUST DON'T KNOW THE REST OF MY LIFE'S BEEN JUST A SHOW

BUDDY & BOHEMIANS THOSE WERE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES THE BAD THINGS IN LIFE WERE SO FEW THOSE DAYS ARE ALL GONE NOW BUT ONE THING REMAINS

BUDDY WHEN I LOOK AND I FIND NO CHANGE YOU CAN'T TURN BACK THE CLOCK YOU CAN'T TURN BACK THE TIDE AIN'T THAT A SHAME I'D LIKE TO GO BACK ONE TIME ON A ROLLER COASTER RIDE WHEN LIFE WAS JUST A GAME TRWNO USE IN SITTING Perusal AND A-THINKING ON WHAT YOU DID WHEN YOU CAN LAY BACK AND ENJOY IT THROUGH THE KIDS SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE LATELY I JUST DON'T KNOW BETTERNot SIT BACK forAND GO WITH Production THE FLOW BUDDY & BOHEMIANS COS THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES THEY'RE FLOWN IN THE SWIFTNESS OF TIME THESE DAYS ARE ALL GONE NOW BUT ONE THING REMAINS

85 BUDDY WHEN I LOOK, AND I FIND HOPE STILL SURVIVES OH YEAH!

(GALILEO and SCARAMOUCHE rush on.)

GALILEO Buddy, Oz, you’re here! I knew it! I dreamt it! The Bohemians are back in the Hard Rock and the revolution is on!

BUDDY They’re not really there, Dude. Their bodies found their way home, but their spirits never made the plane. They’ve been processed. They’ll end their days as washed up, brain-dead casualties, living a twilight existence on beer, bourbon, and memories. I could think of worse ways to go.

SCARAMOUCHE Khashoggi did this to you?

BUDDY Yep. We all got processed.

SCARAMOUCHE So how come you’re still standing?

BUDDY I was wondering the same thing myself, sweet lady. I think the vy-day-oh tappee protected me, cloaking me in the vibe.

SCARAMOUCHE You managed to keep it from Khashoggi?

BUDDY Sure did, crazy witch woman.

GALILEO TRWWhere did you hide Perusal it?

BUDDY Don’t ask. But it must have stayed with me for a purpose, that somehow it holds the key. But, I still have no way to unlock it. For all Notthe use it isfor I might asProduction well shove it in that slot in the box under the tee-lee-vy-zee-own.

SCARAMOUCHE Oh my God. You’re not telling me you haven’t tried that?

86

BUDDY No. Why?

SCARAMOUCHE Honestly...

BUDDY (to GAL) Yeah. Right. Like that’s gonna work. Chicks.

(SCARAMOUCHE takes the tape and puts it in the broken TV...magic happens...lights, etc...and QUEEN appears on the screen silhouetted in the opening moment of Bo Rhap as it begins to play on the screen.)

Director’s Note: There is a file in your digital logo pack called “Crackly Bo Rhap Video.mp4” that can be used here.

IS THIS THE REAL LIFE IS THIS JUST FANTASY CAUGHT IN A LANDSLIDE NO ESCAPE FROM REALITY OPEN YOUR EYES LOOK UP TO THE SKIES AND SEE

(The screen crackles and the faces freeze.)

SCARAMOUCHE It’s jammed. Can’t you do something?

BUDDY No way, sweet lady. Vy-day-ohs weren’t like no iCloud. They were real, physical, spinning gizmos, and when they jammed, they jammed. TRW Perusal GALILEO But what does it mean? And who were those four beautiful girls?

BUDDY Not chicksNot--but dudes! for I remember Production them from the secret histories! They were a rock freedom fighter collective known as Queen, and Mercury was one of them.

SCARAMOUCHE The guy in the statue?

87

BUDDY Yes! And I believe they left this scroll as a warning. “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?”

GALILEO Fantasy?

BUDDY I think they’re talking about cyber space! They foretold of a time when kids would be caught in a landslide of fantasy! Mobile phones and video game consoles. And computer-recorded-autotuned- pop. C-R-A-P.

GALILEO Crap.

BUDDY Exactly! The holy vy-day-oh-tappee predicted a time when crap would dominate the charts. Queen wanted kids to open their eyes, look up to the skies...

GALILEO & SCARAMOUCHE ...and see.

BUDDY Yes! That’s why they buried the axe, the last instrument! So that one day, kids would stop playing plastic and stupid computer games and start playing ROCK instead!

SCARAMOUCHE But where? Where did they bury it? Where does the rock hang silent in the air?

BUDDY & SCARAMOUCHE We don’t know.

BUDDY TRWBut it ain’t here Perusal in Las Vegas, that’s for sure. Queen wanted that axe to be heard around the world and everybody knows that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

(The TV begins to fizz and sparkle once Notmore...images for of QUEEN Production seem to flash across it...)

GALILEO The vy-day-o tappee’s trying to tell us something!

88

#21 WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS (UNDERSCORE)

(The Freddie statue begins to crackle and fizz, glowing from within and throbbing... the BOHEMIANS stand to salute, fists in the air...the underscore of We Are the Champions fills the air.)

GALILEO It’s Mercury’s statue!

SCARAMOUCHE The bright, bright star! Gal, your dream! “A bright, bright star will show the way!” The star isn’t a star in the sky at all, but a rock star!

GALILEO But what is he trying to tell us? What does he want?

(The Freddie statue laser shines from the eyes.)

SCARAMOUCHE Oh my God! He’s showing us the way!

GALILEO To where the King sleeps and where the rock hangs silent in the air.

SCARAMOUCHE Silent rock isn’t granite and stone at all! It’s music! Rock ‘n’ Roll music!

GALILEO Then the sleeping King must be the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll!

BUDDY TRWYes, Rebel Dude! PerusalYes! The star is pointing east to the place where the King sleeps. This can mean only one thing! Queen buried their axe at the tomb of the King! The holiest shrine of Rock ‘n’ Roll! Graceland! Memphis, Tennessee! Not for Production (The Champions underscore recedes...the statue stops glowing...the BOHEMIANS return to zombie status.)

89

SCARAMOUCHE Gal, we have to move quickly. Now that the star has shown us the way, it can guide the police there too. There’s no time to lose.

GALILEO But we need transport! We need wheels!

#21A BICYCLE RACE

(The BOHEMIANS all leap up.)

BOHEMIANS BICYCLE, BICYCLE, BICYCLE

SCARAMOUCHE Hello!! We have to save Rock ‘n’ Roll! We can’t turn up on a bike!

BUDDY It’s very eco.

SCARAMOUCHE But it’s not very cool.

Director’s Note: If you don’t have access to a Harley Davidson, it can be offstage, using a Harley sound effect. The lines and “Headlong” can be said/sung onstage, before going offstage to ride away.

BUDDY You’re right, Crazy Lady. We’ll take the Hairlee. P. Puff Diddy Daddy Dum Diddy Doo and Shakira, help me with my hog. You Rock ‘n’ Roll zombies close up the Hard Rock--I’m taking a road trip! It’s not as fast, clean or efficient as a Japanese bike, but it sounds humungous! Thanks, zombie dudes. Go grab a brewski. TRW Perusal SCARAMOUCHE But, Buddy. It’s a museum piece. It’s rusted and beat up and also, it’s stuck to a huge, square piece of road. How could it ever getNot us to Memphis? for Production

BUDDY Excuuuuuse me, Lady Madonna. It is not stuck to the road. The road is stuck to it. Because this is a Hairlee Dahvidsone--and it lives to…

90

SCARAMOUCHE Rock ‘n’ Roll!

BUDDY Freakin’ A, Hot Gypsy Momma.

SCARAMOUCHE Alright!

BUDDY Okay, Rocket Man. Let’s get out there and ride!

#21B HEADLONG--REPRISE

(As the reprise of Headlong kicks in, the three of them ride the bike to Memphis.)

GALILEO Alright!!!

BUDDY Graceland or Bust!!

BUDDY We’re gonna find that axe!!

GALILEO Are we ready?

SCARAMOUCHE Let’s go.

GRACELAND

(As the song ends, BUDDY, SCARAMOUCHE, and GALILEO find themselves in a ruined beat-up Graceland.)

BUDDY Oh no! Man, we ran outta gas.

SCARAMOUCHE Guys! Guys! We were here already!

GALILEO This is them, Scaramouche. The gates--the gates I saw in my dreams. The ones decorated with strange symbols. But what could they mean?

SCARAMOUCHE I don’t know.

BUDDY It’s music, young rebel dude. Notes. I remember them from the secret histories. These symbols are how tunes were written long, long ago.

SCARAMOUCHE Then this is the place--the place where "rock hangs silent in the air."

BUDDY Rock music!!

SCARAMOUCHE This is Graceland, where the King sleeps.

TRW PerusalBUDDY A-huh-huh.

SCARMOUCHE Except...there's nothing here. Not for Production BUDDY Bummer man.

SCARAMOUCHE No mighty axe, no instruments.

93

BUDDY Not even any Rock.

SCARAMOUCHE Maybe we failed, Gal. Maybe your dream will never come true and the kids will never hear the mighty riffs.

GALILEO You’re wrong, Scaramouche. There is something here.

SCARAMOUCHE What?

GALILEO Us! We’re here.

SCARAMOUCHE Whoopie-doo!

GALILEO And we don't need some old, secondhand instruments to make music either! We can do it ourselves!

SCARAMOUCHE What, ?

BUDDY No!!

GALILEO If necessary!

BUDDY It’s never necessary.

SCARAMOUCHE TRWYou’re right, Gal. Perusal Wasn’t that what it was about in the beginning? Kids making music for themselves--playing in the streets...

BUDDY In theirNot garages... for Production

SCARAMOUCHE You can do this thing, Gal.

GALILEO Yes, I can.

94

BUDDY Hello, (Name of current city)!

GALILEO But there’s still something missing.

SCARAMOUCHE What?

GALILEO You.

SCARAMOUCHE Me?

#21C LOVE OF MY LIFE (UNDERSCORE)

GALILEO Remember what Britney Spears said before he died? Making music is about love. You do it for your baby. And I can only do it for you. I love you, Scaramouche, with all my heart. I know I was stupid and we broke up, but you have to give me another chance. Because if you don't, I can’t do this thing, and Rock ‘n’ Roll will never be reborn.

SCARAMOUCHE God, talk about emotional blackmail. Do it for your baby, Baby.

(They kiss.)

BUDDY Dude looks like a lady.

GALILEO Oh yeah. TRW Perusal SCARAMOUCHE Now, let’s rock!

Not(GALILEO isfor trying, desperatelyProduction seeking to summon up inspiration from within... he is truly ready, but it is not easy.)

GALILEO I don’t know where to start.

SCARAMOUCHE Come on...Buddy?

BUDDY You’re a boy...

SCARAMOUCHE Make a big noise!

BUDDY Playing in the street!

SCARAMOUCHE Gonna be a big man.

BUDDY Someday.

GALILEO Hey! Hey that’s it!!

GALILEO What you just said.

BUDDY...BUDDY YOU’RE A BOY MAKE A BIG NOISE PLAYING IN THE STREET GONNA BE A BIG MAN SOMEDAY

96 (Something magical happens...in the distance, the drumbeat begins.)

GALILEO Listen, Scaramouche! It's the beat. The beat is returning.

SCARAMOUCHE The beating of our hearts!

GALILEO & SCARAMOUCHE WE WILL WE WILL ROCK YOU WE WILL WE WILL ROCK

(As GALILEO sings, magic happens... thunder flashes...from the pillars of the gates of Graceland, there emerges a guitar half embedded in the rock.)

GALILEO TRWScaramouche! Look! Perusal The axe! The axe is hidden in the stone!

BUDDY Thunderbolt and lightning. Very, very frightening.

Not for GALILEOProduction Look, an instrument--a musical instrument.

SCARAMOUCHE Then it does exist.

97

BUDDY The dream machine--the most powerful weapon of freedom known to man--an electric guitar. Seize it, Galileo Gigolo. For none but the just shall play the mighty axe--none but the kids.

(Huge music as GALILEO takes the guitar from the stone.)

SCARAMOUCHE Oh my God! You are so my guitar hero!

GALILEO Yes I am, Baby! And now, let’s rock!

(He tries to play it, but is terrible.)

BUDDY Oh no, man! The rebirth of modern jazz!

(GALILEO goes to smash the guitar.)

SCARAMOUCHE Noooo! You were good, Gal. You were really good.

(SCARAMOUCHE grabs the guitar and rips off a couple of huge killer chords and a bit of diddling, at the conclusion of which she lies on her back with her legs in the air, revealing Old Glory pants)

SCARAMOUCHE So, I’ll play, you sing.

BUDDY And I’ll be a groupie. Anyone want to see my Hooters?

SCARAMOUCHE TRWBuddy. Not cool! Perusal

BUDDY Message received and understood. But first...

Not for GALILEOProduction Buddy, what are you doing?

BUDDY What does it look like I’m doing? I’m hacking into the Globalsoft mainframe and emailing the power of Rock to every Ga Ga kid on the iPlanet. Soon they’ll all be Bohemians.

SCARAMOUCHE Buddy...won’t the Killer Queen get your email too? But you thought of that, right?

BUDDY Nope, never did.

#22A KILLER QUEEN FINAL ENTRANCE (DEATH ON ONE LEG)

KILLER QUEEN Who dares play live rock music on the iPlanet?

(If there is a live band, the BAND is revealed. Otherwise, GALILEO and SCARAMOUCHE say the following:)
