Opening Night (Transcript)

It is time for warm ups so all the actors, wearing their costumes already, began their warm ups.

Mat: Warm ups! Actors needed for warm ups!

Tommy: I'm here.

Freddie: Same.

Mat: Where are the rest of your co-stars? I already got the ensemble.

Tommy: Oh, they'll be here, don't worry. They're just finishing up some quick costume stuff. Dream's leotard always falls off, Kristin needs her horns on, Wilbur's having a hard time seeing through his ghost costume, Karl's doing fine, Quackity's fixing up his hair under his beanie, Purpled was supposed to have his scales on but they decided to scrap it cuz it wouldn't stick to his hoodie, Hannah needed to get into her armour, Tina needed to get prop glasses last minute, Eret's taking a long time cuz Mettaton EX is difficult, Phil needed to get both his horns and crown on and Tubbo's horns are off.

Mat: Well, warm ups are now so go get them. They need to be out here, come on, all actors warm ups right now.

Freddie: Yeah, erm... yeah I'll run and get them.

Freddie ran back to the dressing room where the main cast are trying to get their costumes right.

Freddie: Hey guys, erm... warm ups now.

Toby: Yeah, one sec, I gotta get these horns on right.

Freddie: They're all waiting on you, so we gotta get out there-

Toby: Just give me like 5 minutes alright? I'll be out, I know. Thank you warm ups.

Freddie: You look fine, your horns are already in the right position. You can go to warm ups, c'mon.

Eret: We just need a little bit of time.

Freddie: I'm just the messenger! I'm just the messenger, listen, I tried to tell him, I really did but-

Wilbur: Alright, whatever, yeah let's go.

Phil: Why do we all need vocal warm ups anyway?

After that, Freddie went back to the backstage area of the auditorium where Tommy and Mat are with his co-stars.

Freddie: Alright, we're back! We're back-

Karl: Yeah, thank you warm ups.

Mat: Aww you're welcome.

Toby: Look at my horns. I gotta get it fixed.

Mat: You will. You'll have time. You'll have time. You just gotta do warm ups right now.

Alex: I know, I know, alright, let's start.

Wilbur: I didn't get my leotard on.

Tommy: Hey, don't worry, you'll get it on. They can't send you out without it.

Wilbur: Okay, good-

Toby: What are we starting with?

Mat: Alright, let's start by shaking it out, ready?

Freddie: Yup, yeah, we're ready-

While Mat is counting, everyone else started shaking as part of their warm ups. They all counted before Mat changed the warm ups.

Mat: Now, enunciate. Red leather, yellow leather.

Everyone: Red leather, yellow leather.

Karl: Ohh you messed up.

Toby: I did not.

Alex: You did, I heard you. It's called enunciation and diction.

Mat: Unique New York. Really get that 'k' sound at the end of it.

Everyone: Unique New York.

Mat: From the diaphragm. Ha!

Everyone: Ha! Ha! Ha!

Mat: Let's get our voices warmed up, let's start by throwing out pitch, ready? I'm not doing it, my throat's storm. But you guys know what do do, ready?

Everyone started throwing their pitches.

Mat: Good, good, alright, good job guys, I don't wanna get all sentimental or anything but it's opening night and we've all spent so long working hard on this show. I just wanna say I'm really proud of all of you, let's send our energy around the circle, cross arms, grab your neighbours' hand and let's send our energy.

Tommy: Oh that's my favourite part.

Dream: What's that? I don't even have arms.

Karl: We're gonna pass our energy around the circle like a 'good luck' kind of thing.

George: Just stand on my head.

Dream: Cool.

Everyone held each others hands and passed their energy onto each other with Dream on George's head.

Tommy: You're supposed to squeeze my hand. Freddie, I thought we've done this before.

Freddie: Oh, right, sorry.

Mat: Alright guys, get out there. You go get your costumes on.

Toby: That's exactly where I'm going.

Alex: Yeah, me too.

Tommy: Woo! Pop off!

Later, the directors are giving off a speech before opening the show.

Zoe: Hello! Hi guys, erm... wow, great crowd tonight, really great crowd, we have a great turnout for opening night. Before we begin the show, I'm Zoe Tria, the director, nice to meet all of you.

Anna: Woo!

Joseph: Go Zoe!

Naomi: That's my cousin right there!

Raphael: And I'm Raphael Lau, the assistant director, nice to meet all of you.

Susan: That's our son! Sheryl's missing out because of the Asia tour.

Richard: Go Raphael!

Zoe: Finally getting to see all the parent's, family's faces behind all these actors. Except the ones that are all the way in America but this production will also be recorded so that people outside the UK could see it. I just have a few quick announcements before we go ahead and begin the show. First of all, I just wanna thank all of you so much for coming out tonight and supporting these actors they've all worked so hard for so many months on this show and I know that they are just as excited as we are to put on this show.

Then, Karen's phone started ringing.

Raphael: And the second thing is, please take out your cell phones and silence them, there is no audio or visual recording allowed at this production except for the camera crew who will record this musical for international audiences. And third and finally, we just wanna say a quick thank you to all of our active donors to this department, if it wasn't for you all, we wouldn't have a show to put on.

Karen: Yes.

Zoe: It's because of you all that we have the money to fund these productions and give these actors an opportunity to have a space for their craft. And I just wanna take a moment to recognise our top donors for this past year, they are Raphael and I's relatives and professional actors, so can the Lau and Tria families please rise?

With the applause going on, the Lau and Tria families stood up and waved at the crowd. And then Karen stood up.

Karen: C'mon, stand.

Raphael: Oh, just our family, the Lau and Tria family-

Karen: Well, I contributed too. I'm a very active donor to this department and I think your numbers might be off because I know for a fact that I am actually the top donor to this theatre.

Zoe: The Tria and Lau families, our families, have contributed almost £3,800 to our department for this year and we're very thankful for their generosity-

Karen: I contributed £5,300 alone to this department this past year.

Raphael: I'm sure you did.

Karen: And I get it, those ching chongs are your family and they're willing to do anything to donate for their poor little kids.

Naomi: Okay, miss Karen, that was rude.

Karen: My name actually is Karen.

Naomi: Cool, it suits you.

Lisa: Naomi, that's not nice.

Amy: Lisa, chill, she's just defending herself.

Zoe: Okay, let's give a round of applause to the Tria and Lau family!

Karen: The round of applause should actually go to me and my family because we've donated almost £5,300 to this department.

Raphael: Oh! £5,300, okay-

Karen: Roughly. Yeah, roughly £5,300, around that area-

Zoe: Must have sent that in anonymously and not to the right place because we did not get £5,300 this year but anyway-

Karen: Well, I sent it in.

Raphael: Well, our treasurer actually does a wonderful job at keeping track of all of our donations so-

Zoe: We're all very grateful to our family, the Laus and the Trias and their massive generosity-

Karen: Let's not forget the previous years I've spent devoting my money to this department and for you 2 not to recognise that-

Raphael: Thank you, thank you. One more time to the Lau and Tria family.

Karen: And to me. Who has given much more than those chinks.

Naomi: Shut up, Karen.

Anna: Erm...

Zoe: Okay, ma'am, we can discuss this privately after the show-

Karen: Can we? Can we? I would love that.

Raphael: (sighs) Alright-

Karen: You know, I have not just give money to this department. I've also given my amazingly talented Broadway bound son-

Joseph: Lady. Anubayan.

Anna: Walang galang talaga ang babaeng ito. (This lady is really disrespectful)

Joseph: Alam ko, hindi ako makapaniwala na hinayaan ko ang aking anak na babae at ang kanyang kaibigan na makipag-ayos sa kanya. (I know, can't believe I let my daughter and her friend deal with her)

John: I don't understand you, what are you talking about?

Anna: That rude half Mexican lady.

Karen: And now you're calling me a liar? In front of this whole crowd of people?

Zoe: Have a seat.

Karen sat down.

Karen: We'll talk, we'll talk.

Raphael: Well, we've been talking for long enough, I know none of you guys are here to see us. So, we'll get off stage and I know our actors backstage are anxiously waiting in the wings. These actors have been absolutely amazing, we've had a lot of ups and downs with this show. This has just been a really great and fun cast to work with. So, this is.

Zoe and Raphael: Undertale: The Musical.

The musical starts as Once Upon A Time plays.

Song: Once Upon A Time by Echo Flower Productions and Man On The Internet

Freddie: #Listen now #Hear the tale #The truth from legend will unveil #Come along #For this trail #And you’ll hear #The Undertale# Greetings, I am Chara. And I have a story to share with you. A story of humans, and monsters

Ensemble: #Long ago, men and beasts #Ruled the earth and had their feasts #Then one day, came a war #Blood was spilled as ne'er before #No monster will know love #No monster belongs in the world above #Seal them underground #Let this barrier surround them#

Freddie: The monsters were sealed beneath Mt. Ebott, with only a human SOUL, able to pass through the barrier. And on the surface, legends went that those who climb the mountain, never returns.

Ensemble: #Many years, many tears #We live on despite our fears #There's no chance we could have won #Now we'll never see the sun... #Stones instead of stars above #We've lost hopes and dreams and love #Angels cry, from on high #Will they free us or will we die? #No new friends come around #That's our life here underground #While on high, sits our king #Listen, you might hear him sing#

Phil: #So much blood, so much pain #Just to see the sun again... #One day soon, freedom shall ring #So proclaims the mountain king...#

Ensemble: #Now the years have flown by #A child climbs up high #Will they return from the mountain #Or will they surely die? #The tale of the underground #Tonight we sing #A tale of fallen children #And mountain kings #Sit down, children #Do not quail #Hopes and dreams will sure prevail #If you climb #Along this trail #You will hear the Undertale#

Female ensemble: #Fall #En #Child #And #Moun #Tain #King#

Ensemble: #Sit down, children #Do not quail #Hopes and dreams will sure prevail #If you climb #Along this trail #You will hear the Undertale#

Karen: Don't be sad sweetie, he's awful. Awful. You would've been so much better. He's not representing the character well at all.

Derrick: Oh I know-

Karen: The show hasn't even started and he's already out of character. He broke character twice, I saw. I just can't, I just, I just can't-

Derrick: Yeah, I'm way better-

Song: Star by Echo Flower Productions

Freddie: #Distant starlight #Trapped in the night #Far below #I heard them calling #Angels banished from the sky #No one had heard their cries #Losing all their hopes and dreams #Thanks to humanity #Fallen so far #Like a lost star #Hold on to #Determination #I’ve heard the call #Will we all fall #Perhaps we’ll #Find liberation#

While Freddie was singing his solo, Karen was making noises with her keys and zipper which is annoying.

Susan: Do you mind? Lady, do you mind?

Karen: Oh! Sorry, sorry, I just, I just had to make sure that my car keys were in my purse.

Derrick: Did you find them?

Richard: Uh huh.

Karen: Ridiculous, you should've been him, you should've been. Don't forget that. None. None of these people up on stage will ever amount to anything. You will. You will.

Derrick: I know.

Karen: They hate people who they can see are gonna be more successful. They do and that's why you went through everything you went through during this show.

Toby: Is anyone... in here? (gasps) Are... are you... alright...? Please... wake... up…

Tommy: Hello? Who’s there? If I can hear you then show yourself!

Freddie: Greetings, it’s me, Chara.

Tommy: Y-You’re… the first fallen human.

Freddie: That’s me human.

Tommy: ‘Human’? Call me Frisk.

Freddie: Fine, I’ll call you Frisk.

Tommy: What’s that sound?

Freddie: No idea, let’s follow the sound.

Karen: This boy can't even sing. You can sing, why don't you go ahead? Go ahead.

Derrick: I will, I will. #Listen now#

Susan: Hey! Will you shut up? Seriously.

Karen: Erm... my son can sing if he wants to sing, it's a musical.

Derrick: Yeah, it's literally a musical, you're supposed to sing during musicals. I'm just trying to enjoy the show like everyone else. To be honest, this sounds like jealousy to me. You're trying to silence me from singing during a literal musical?

Karen: You know, my son was actually in this show so he knows all the parts, so he's just, he's just bettering it right now.

Derrick: Yeah, I was. I know like all the parts.

Richard: Yeah, this show doesn't need 'bettering.'

Anna: Yeah.

Richard: Coming from a veteran actor.

Derrick: Sorry that I'm better than Tommy.

Susan: What did you just say to us?

Sarah: What did you say to my son?

Anna: Sarah, shush,

Sarah: Sorry.

Karen: Well I think he might need some support.

Anna: He doesn't.

Richard: Support? Okay, he doesn't need any support.

Karen: Well, it sure sounds like it, it really does.

Derrick: I was literally supposed to be Frisk's understudy so if I wanna give him support during the show, I think that I'm allowed to.

Karen: I think my son's doing a great job at supporting Tommy.

Joseph: A groomer out of all people.

Anna: The show's fine without your son.

Susan: You wanna say that again, lady?

Then, Paul came.

Paul: Hey, do I mind if I sit?

Derrick: What are you doing here?

Paul: I'm here to watch the play, like literally everyone else.

Derrick: Weren't you literally banned from this theatre?

Paul: Well, yeah, but it's not like they have security or anything, no one's gonna stop me. What are they going to do? Get someone to escort me out? Like physically escort me out? No. I just saw a free seat and I figured I'd sit by my best friend.

Derrick: Okay, no, we're not friends, do not ever call me your best friend again that literally makes me want to throw up.

Paul: Can you just relax? It was in the past, it wasn't even a big deal.

Derrick: You stole Tubbo, Oli, Kristin and Phil's horns and you destroyed them for no reason and tried to blame it on me. I literally trusted you as a best friend and you do that to me.

Paul Yeah, but how did it turn out? I got blamed for it, nothing even happened to you.

Derrick: Nothing happened? What do you mean nothing-

Joseph: Hey, can you guys be quiet?

Richard: Yeah, shit down and shut up.

Paul: Here, just let me sit.

Derrick: Erm... they can speak if they want to speak.

Susan: Oh, these people are so annoting-

Derrick: (sighs) I do not want to sit next to this untalented, ugly liar-

Paul: Okay, yeah, whatever, yeah, I get it. I can make it up to you.

Derrick: How?

Paul: I might have something for you.

Derrick: What?

Paul got out a stolen microphone.

Derrick: Is that a mic? Where did you even get that?

Paul: I might've just accidentally grabbed it when I got the horns that one time.

Derrick: So you stole it?

Paul: I mean, I was originally gonna use it but I think that you deserve it more than me. I mean, I did try to blame you for destroying the horns so, here. Take it.

Derrick: Do you think I'm stupid or something?

Paul: What?

Derrick: Wow, do you really think I'm that dumb?

Paul: Erm... I'm literally trying to do a nice thing for you right now and give you this mic so you can sing and let everyone know how good you are-

Derrick: Okay, first of all, everyone already knows how good I am so I'm not proving anything. I mean, I can understand coming from someone like you how you might have that mindset of proving how good you are. But people like me who are naturally gifted don't need to prove anything to people because everyone already knows and second, it's literally not even going to work.

Paul: Yeah, it will, I literally got it from the booth.

Derrick: Yeah, like 15 weeks ago. Listen, techies might not be as smart as actors because we're obviously the smartest since we have to memorise so many things. But a mic techie person is not gonna turn on a channel for a missing mic, that makes no sense. The sound techie mic people are not gonna go 'oh yeah, let's turn on the missing mic!' No, that's so dumb.

Paul: Erm... it was literally assigned to this show, so I think they're gonna turn on the channel.

Derrick: Okay, erm... nevermind, looks like you're actually the stupid one. That mic won't even turn on.

Paul: Yes it does turn on, look.

Derrick: There's no batteries in it, is there?

Paul: here, just like hold it.

Derrick: I'm not holding a mic that doesn't even work.

Paul: Wow, okay, well, how dare I be a good friend? I'm literally trying to help you out. Just take the mic.

Derrick: No-

Paul: Oh, so you don't want to take your opportunity now? I'm literally here to help you be in the spotlight.

Derrick: I don't even need a mic to be in the spotlight, okay? There's something called projecting and singing from the diaphragm something that literally none of these other actors know how much to do except for me. Literally, if I were Frisk, I wouldn't even need a mic. I would've told them, 'I don't need a mic, I am good enough to sing without one.' I know how to project, that's what all Broadway and West End stars do, no one uses mics. There's literally so many better ways to show the audience that I should be Frisk, so many better ways.

Paul: Like what? You have any ideas?

Derrick: Erm... I dunno, probably just like going on as Frisk.

Paul: No one's even watching, we could go backstage, easy. I'm just saying, I mean, look how easy I got in here and I was 'banned' or whatever.

Derrick: That's true.

Paul: Let's go then.

Derrick: Do you think that we could?

Paul: I'm sure we can figure something out while we're back there.

Derrick: Mum, I'll be back.

Karen: Okay sweetie! Hey, break some legs!
