2b. The Marketplace MET2’s Beauty and the Beast (An Original Musical Adaptation) (Ft. Beauty, BROTHERS, Ellipsis, Ensemble & Queen)
ELIPSIS: (spoken)
Yes, friends, come tonight to the edge of the Black Woods and our show will delight and amaze you! You see, tonight, and tonight only, our carnival will be open to all of the citizens of this village. Ah! The wonders that are in store for each person (catching their attention) brave enough to come into the forest tonight.
ONLOOKER #1:
Why? What’s wrong with the forest?
ELIPSIS:
(laughs knowingly) A monster lives there.
(The CROWD reacts. Some scared, some in disbelief.)
ELIPSIS:
Our honored Queen of the Mystic will tell you the story.
QUEEN OF THE MYSTIC:
Well…I’m not sure it will bring pleasant dreams.
CROWD:
Oh yes! Please! Tell us! etc.
QUEEN:
All right, huddle close together, and be prepared to be frightened! (All huddle in groups and prepare to hear the tale.) One dark and cold night, three children struggled to find their way through the enchanted forest. As they were about to give up all hope of ever being found again, they saw lights beaming from a castle on the hill. As they proceeded towards the castle, hoping to find shelter from the storm, they spotted, through the twisted branches, two enormous and spellbinding red eyes, beckoning them to their terrible fate! Then, the monster reached out and grabbed them! (The CROWD shudders in fear.) But that is enough. If I tell you more, you will all be too scared to come to our carnival tonight.
CROWD:
No we won’t! We’ll come tonight! Please, tell us more. Go on! I’m scared. More! etc.
