A Farewell Ode to "Shakespeare in Hollywood"

There are only three performances left of "Shakespeare in Hollywood" at the GCP! Make sure you see this show!

In honor of the show's closing, I have composed a VERY SERIOUS work I would like to share with you.

Ahem. Maestro, to the tune of "Jingle Bells," please:

VERSE

On a movie lot
In nineteen thirty-four
Jack Warner's girl is hot
But wants to be much more

Shakespeare's not their thing
It seems they're out of luck
Till Oberon and Puck arrive
And then things run amok

CHORUS

Oh, silver screen movie scenes
Joe Brown wears a dress
A purple flower has love's power
And things become a mess

VERSE

Lydia's smitten first
Dick Powell gets it next
Olivia drags Joe off
This show is oversexed

The party's out of hand
There is a massive fight
The fairy king steps in and then
His magic sets it right

CHORUS

Oh, silver screen movie scenes
Aunt Ethel gets a call
One wild night becomes dawn's light
And then things hit a wall

VERSE

The fairies start to fade
To Athens they'll return
But not before Hays sees
A lesson she must learn

The donkey head removed
Oberon takes his leave
But gives his love a gift
She'll never know that she received

CHORUS

Oh, silver screen movie scenes
The show's come to an end
Whether it's a happy one –
On you that all depends!

See you all at the Vam York this weekend for the final shows!!
