[ensemble]
all we need

[nancy, spoken]
once upon a time
there was a magical place called ‘london’s west end’

[oliver, spoken]
it was home to the world’s most impressive
and important musicals…
and mamma mia

[nancy, spoken]
and our story begins when one particular theatre called upon two musical writers
to write a musical!

[oliver, spoken]
now, these writers knew that musicals needed huge and important stories

[nancy, spoken]
stories of epic romances
extraordinary journey
and impossible quests

[oliver, spoken]
but
for these two writers
the only stories they had were about their own pathetic little dating lives
[nancy, spoken]
and so
they came up with a plan

[oliver, spoken]
all we need to do is this!
if we tell a story about our own pathetic little dating lives
but we dress it all up with big fancy musical numbers
then audiences will actually think it’s worth watching!

[nancy, spoken]
are you sure they’ll be convinced?
[oliver, spoken]
of course! i mean, not sophisticated theatre+goers
but the kind of riff+raff you get at the garrick will love it!

[nancy, spoken]
and so, they went forth and wrote it
even starting with a classic prologue

[oliver, spoken]
for they knew, if there’s one way to convince a story was worth watching, it was by explaining it uptop through modern dance

[nancy, spoken]
and just to really seal the deal
they decided they’d end it with a brilliant theatrical twist
where they would reveal it was them that had been narrating the whole time
[oliver, spoken]
pretty clever, eh?

[nancy, spoken]
yeah, you don’t get this at les mis!

[oliver, spoken]
and now we’re here, you’re there, the doors are locked
the show we’ve written about ourselves
can begin!

[nancy, spoken]
a show that begins with…

[oliver, spoken]
a doorbell
