littlehorrorshop:

Howard Ashman songs: “Disneyland” from Smile (lyrics by Howard Ashman, music by Marvin Hamlisch)

Performed by Jodi Benson in the infamous 1986 Broadway flop Smile, the musical monologue “Disneyland” transcends time and place to transform the theatre’s atmosphere into that of a memory. The pure and basic expression of desire reverts all back to the infantile state of a lonely, broken, 11-year-old girl, not only believably, but spiritually, as she struggles to assure herself that her desire for fantasy is “perfectly okay”. The elements of character expressed through the lyrics and musical intonation renders all other elements obsolete - a full cerebral and emotional understanding is achieved, beginning with the initial high-pitched opening chords and concluding with a vocal and lyrical climax that echoes out, piercing like an archer’s arrow.

As the audience feels for both infant and adult Doria, it is possible they do not fully acknowledge that the full force of the character’s inner plight is only so alive because its power is within them - their emotional participation is involuntary, but vital to the full understanding of the number. The audience ogles up, glossy-eyed at the stage, unaware of how time has been rewound as they take the place of the 11-year-old child, alone in their theatre seats, witnessing something magical and heartbreaking.

For the most part, the themes expressed in the song (an immature desire for somewhere safe and happy with no regard for reality) should come across as overly obvious, cliché, or as all-out satire, but they do not. The pure artistry of the song’s authorship and performance rises beyond text, message, character, and even theatre, into the memories and emotional crevices of the audience amidst a darkened atmosphere of the lonesome soul. The song’s lyrics and music are perfectly in marriage with one another, and are so pure and so wonderful even out of any theatrical or dramatic context, that they exist as a truly great work of art (there’s no use in describing the musical or rhyming patterns, when such description could not do either justice, so I have included the lyrics below in full, as well as a link to listen to a live recording of the song). It is no wonder this number got a standing ovation each and every night the show was on Broadway. However panned the show was back in 1986, the power of “Disneyland” was never questioned, and is still celebrated today by those who remember it, and by those lucky enough to discover it buried beneath the decades.

Ironically, some of the imagery reflects Howard Ashman’s future work with Disney (“Magic carpet, please/Carry me away” is reminiscent of Aladdin, and Jodi Benson was the voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid), and the entire number is oddly prophetic in its bittersweet tone and eerie self-awareness of a world of fakery, perhaps mirroring the theatre itself. True, “maybe it’s all fake”, but the emotion is true and alive to those who listen. Howard Ashman has given us Disneyland, and boy do I pray that I’ll stay.

Hot Sunday night, I guess the folks were busy fighting
Joe’d already left home
Eleven years old on my own, feeling nothing but lonely
There’s nothing to do, there’s nothing out there but the traffic
Down on State 93
So I’d sit through the night by our old black-and-white TV
That’s when I saw it, That’s when I heard it
Calling, Calling me

Disneyland. Magic Kingdom
Disneyland. Close my eyes real tight, wishing hard I might, wishing hard I may
Find my way to
Disneyland, gotta get to
Disneyland, on a Western breeze
Magic carpet, please!
Carry me away

Oh I know you’re gonna say the trees are paper mache, it’s done with mirrors, the magic there
Each little bird’s full of springs, you press a button it sings, recorded music fills the air
They’ve had the mountain refaced, it’s only plywood and paste, go on, say it!
I’ll turn around and tell you, I don’t care!
I don’t care.

I will live in Disneyland
Make my home in Disneyland
Maybe it’s all fake
That’s a chance I’d take
It’s perfectly okay!
Someone give me Disneyland
Take me there!
To Disneyland
And when I get to Disneyland
I’ll stay!

Here’s a serious advice. Even the nicest people have their limits. Don’t try to reach that point because the nicest people are also the scariest assholes when they’ve had enough.

Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all powerful?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent.)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Is satan good?
Student : No.
Professor: Where does satan come from?
Student : From … GOD …
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes
Professor: So who created evil ?
(Student did not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them ?
(Student had no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smell your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter.)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir… Exactly ! The link between man and GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

I am stressing out thinking about all the stuff we won’t fit into the Uhaul..

We basically had 4 hours to pack it. If I had another day, I could organize stuff and get it in. Now I think we are going to have to make 3, 6 hour round trip, trips back and forth to take the rest of the stuff. And living on the second floor does NOT make things easier!

its all the little things that you can’t fit into big boxes nicely that are a pain. Its like WHERE DOES THIS GO! I am am not going to make a trip down the stairs just for this, what can I fit it into?

Reblog ALL of “Be a Man”

The first eight minutes of Up is the best love story you’ve ever seen.

Kuzco is a Disney princess.

Treasure Planet is vastly underrated.

And Jim Hawkins is a stud.

Sometimes you can be attracted to a cartoon lion. It’s okay.

All hail Spieling Peter.

Fantasmic, World of Color, and Wishes are perfect, and feels, and my cries.

There’s only one Anastasia in the entire Disney film collection and she’s one of the stepsisters, so stop saying Anastasia Romanov is a Disney Princess because she’s not.

Some of us like Disney sequels and TV spinoffs, so don’t judge us.

In regards to Disney Channel now,

Your first response to, “Hey now,” is

Sometimes you just have to quote Disney movies in conversation, and that’s not a bad thing.

We like Walt Disney. He made way for a lot of pretty cool things to happen.

And above all else, remember that it all started with a mouse,

Well, actually, technically it all started with a lucky rabbit, but that’s another story.
