1.I Hope I Get It



ZACH

Again...Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...

Again...Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...

Again...Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...

Again...Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...

Right!

That connects with turn, turn out

In touch, step,

Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch...

Got it? Going on, turn, turn, touch down,

Back step, pivot step, walk, walk, walk!

Right, let's do the whole combination Facing away from the mirror

From the top! a-Five, six, seven, eight!



ALL

God, I hope I get it, I hope I get it!

How many people does he need? How many people does he need?

God, I hope I get it! I hope I get it!

How may boys, how many girls

How many boys, how many...

Look at all the people, at all the people

How many people does he need? How many boys, how many girls?

How many people does he ...



MAGGIE

I really need this job

Please, God, I need this job!

I've got to get this job!



ZACH

Stage left, boys.

Let's do the ballet combination

First group of girls, second group to follow.

One, two, three, four, five, six...



AL

God, I really blew it, I really blew it!

How could I do a thing like that? How could I do a thing like ...?

Now, I'll never make it

I'll never make it!

He doesn't like the way I look.

He doesn't like the way I dance.

He doesn't like the way I...

[Instrumental]



ZACH

All right, let me see the boys.

The whole group. Ready, A-five, six, seven, eight!

[Instrumental]

Okay, Girls, A-five, six, seven, eight!

[Instrumental]



ALL

God, I think I've got it, I think I've got it!

I knew he liked me all the time

What's coming next? What's happening now?

Still it isn't over

I've gotta imagine what he wants it isn't over

I've gotta imagine what he does

God, I hope I get it, I hope I get it!

I've come this far, but even so: It could be yes, it could be no.

How many people does he...?

I really need this job

Please, God, I need this job I've got to get this show.



PAUL

Who am I anyway? Am I my resume?

That is a picture of a person I don't know.

What does he want from me?

What should I try to be?

So many faces all around and here we go,

I need this job Oh God, I need this show.



2.I Can Do That



MIKE

I'm watchin' Sis go pit-a-pat

Said, I can do that I can do that.

Knew ev'ry step right off the bat,

Said, I can do that I can do that

One morning Sis won't go to dance class I grabbed her shoes

And tights and all But my foot's too small

So, I stuffed her shoes with extra socks,

Run seven blocks In nothin' flat,

Hell, I can do that,

I can do that

I got to class and had it made,

And so I stayed The rest of my life

All thanks to Sis (Now married and fat)

See, I can do this.

That I can do,

I can do that!



3.And



RICHIE
