Story 1: Once Upon a Time Tim Minchin (Ft. Ben Thompson, Karen Aldridge, Milly Shapiro & Samantha Sturm)

[MATILDA]
Once upon a time, the two greatest circus performers in the world – an escapologist who could escape from any lock that was ever invented, and an acrobat who was so skilled it seemed as if she could actually fly – fell in love, and got married. They performed some of the most incredible feats together anyone has ever seen. And people would come from miles around: kings! queens! celebrities! and astronauts! And not just to see their skill, but also to see their love for each other, which was so deep that it was said that cats would purr as they passed them, and dogs would weep with joy

They moved into a beautiful old house at the edge of town, and in the evenings, they would walk and take the air. And each night, the children of the town would wait in anticipation, hoping for a glimpse of the shiny white scarf that the acrobat always wore, for then they knew that they had only to cry, "Tricks! Tricks!" and the great performers would instantly oblige with the most spectacular show, just for them

But although they loved each other, although they were famous and everyone loved them, they were sad

[ACROBAT]
We have everything

[MATILDA]
"We have everything that the world has to offer," said the wife

[ESCAPOLOGIST]
We have everything

[MATILDA]
"But we do not have the one thing in the world we want most."

[ACROBAT and ESCAPOLOGIST]
But the one thing

[MATILDA]
"We do not have a child."

[ESCAPOLOGIST]
Patience, my love
