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.
