EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

!!! AAAAHHHH I AM SO EXCITED!!

OKAY SO–

You may recall me talking about how I was working on a script for a musical theatre version of Megamind.

I am VERY PLEASED to announce that the script is COMPLETE and that it is going to be UNVEILED at Mega Camp, where we will be doing a READING of it!! The reading is happening Sunday night at 7:30pm!

Now, in order to make the reading as enjoyable as possible, I need your help!

During the reading, I need volunteers to help by playing the parts. A script reading is much more informal than an actual performance, so there’s no need to be nervous; the emphasis here is on having fun. It’s going to be more like a game rather than a show.

Each participant will get a script, and they will read their lines from the script during the reading as they act out their parts. So there’s no need to worry about memorization. The songs, too, are very simple; I wrote them so that they are easy to sing.

There are lots of parts–all of the characters from canon, plus some characters from the Doom Syndicate: Hot Flash, Lady Doppler, Psycho Delic, and Destruction Worker. Not to mention the brainbots and the random citizens!

I’m going to post all of the songs, so that you all can hear them ahead of time–everyone is invited to sing along with the chorus parts.

Again, do not feel worried about having any experience with acting, or about whether you’re “good” at singing–this is all about having fun! And if you’re shy, there is always a place for you as a citizen or in the brainbot swarm!

I’m going to be playing Megamind, but all of the other parts are open.

If you are interested in playing, please let me know, and I will send you the script, so that you can read it ahead of time and feel more comfortable.

I am really proud of this script, and I am so excited to share the musical theatre version of Megamind with you all!

Only One Here Is Me

song from Megamind the Musical

(Megamind and Roxanne sing this when she’s asking him to rescue her.)

lyrics:

ROXANNE:
I HAVE ALWAYS    
SEEN THE GOOD IN YOU
ALL THE WORTH YOU TRY TO HIDE
I KNOW YOU’RE GOOD INSIDE
NOW I NEED YOU TO STEP INTO THE LIGHT

I NEED YOU
I NEED YOU TO BE A HERO
THE ONE I’VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT YOU COULD BE
NEED YOU TO BE IT NOW FOR ME
MEGAMIND, IT’S TIME TO PROVE ME RIGHT

MEGAMIND:
I’M NOT A HERO
I KNOW I’M NOT A HERO
ALL I EVER DO IS FAIL
THE VILLAIN’S NOT MEANT TO PREVAIL

ROXANNE:
I NEED YOU TO RISE UP AGAIN AND FIGHT

SAVE ME
I AM ASKING YOU TO SAVE ME
I CAN’T DO THIS ALONE
BUT I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN
THAT YOU’LL BE THERE TO CATCH ME IF I FALL

I’VE ALWAYS
KNOWN YOU COULD BE A HERO
I KNOW THAT I’M NOT WRONG
THE POTENTIAL’S BEEN THERE ALL ALONG
AND NOW I NEED FOR YOU TO SHOW THEM ALL

MEGAMIND:
I’M NOT A HERO
I COULD NEVER BE
ALL I’VE EVER BEEN
IS THE VILLAIN
YOU NEED A HERO
BUT THE ONLY ONE HERE IS ME

AND I’M NOT A HERO
THAT’S VERY CLEAR
LOST EVERY FIGHT TO DATE
YOU NEED SOMEONE GREAT
YOU NEED A HERO
BUT I’M THE ONLY ONE HERE

ROXANNE:
I NEED YOU
MEGAMIND, I NEED YOU

MEGAMIND:
YOU DESERVE A HERO
TO COME TO YOUR RESCUE
BUT HEROES ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY
AND I CAN’T JUST SIT BY
YOU NEED A HERO
BUT A VILLAIN WILL HAVE TO DO

ROXANNE:
I HAVE ALWAYS
KNOWN YOU COULD BE A HERO

MEGAMIND:
I’M NOT A HERO
ANYONE WOULD CHOOSE
I’M WELL AWARE
I DON’T HAVE A PRAYER
BUT YOU NEED A HERO
SO I’VE GOT ONE LAST FIGHT TO LOSE

I’M NOT A HERO
I DON’T SAVE THE DAY
IT’S NOT FATE’S DESIGN
THAT DESTINY’S NOT MINE
THE STORY DOESN’T GO THAT WAY
BUT I WILL TRY
TRY TO DEFY MY DESTINY
YOU NEED A HERO
AND THE ONLY ONE HERE IS ME

I’m So Bad (reprise)

song from Megamind the Musical

(Megamind returns to the Lair after the rain scene and finds it empty. He calls for the brainbots to bring out the Black Mamba and then sings this.)

lyrics:

MEGAMIND:

DON’T YOU KNOW THAT I AM BAD, BABY
PEOPLE SEE ME AND THEY RUN
THEY KNOW I’M MEAN AND NASTY
OH, BEING EVIL’S SO MUCH FUN

AND I AM BAD, BABY
THE BADDEST THING IN TOWN
THE ONLY THING I’M GOOD AT
It’s time to go down…in style.

Going to Go Wrong (reprise)

song from Megamind the Musical

(Minion sings this while he’s finishing the Black Mamba cape after his fight with Megamind.)

lyrics:

MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
DISASTER’S LOOMING NEAR
BUT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO
IF, SIR, YOU SAY THAT YOU
DON’T EVEN WANT ME HERE

SIR IS HEADED FOR A FALL
BUT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO
EXCEPT—

There. It’s finished now. Time to go.

Going To Go Wrong

song from Megamind the Musical

(Minion, Megamind, and Roxanne sing this song as Minion and Megamind train Titan, and Roxanne and Megamind-as-Bernard date and work together to solve the reconstructed idea cloud.)

lyrics:

MINION:
Oh, I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all. Why in the world does Sir even need a hero? It doesn’t make any sense!

MEGAMIND (as Space Dad):
The flames of my evil burn bright!
Now you say something cool back at me.

HAL:
You…bad! Aaaraaaghhhh!

MINION:
THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA
AN INESCAPABLY BAD PLAN

HAL:
Smash! Smash! Smash!

MINION:
I CAN’T SEE HIM AS A HERO, SIR
AND REALLY I CANNOT SEE HOW YOU CAN

IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG

MEGAMIND:
Can’t wait—LOL—smiley face!

MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG

MEGAMIND:
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
I REALLY FEEL THE FUTURE’S GOING TO BE BRIGHT

THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
Oh, what fun!

ROXANNE:
You don’t get out much, do you?
I used to come here with my mother when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite things to do. Now look at it. It’s a dump.

MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
BUT SIR HAS GOT ONE OF HIS BRIGHT IDEAS
SO EVERYONE HAS GOT TO PLAY ALONG

IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
Why are we cleaning up the city, Sir?

MEGAMIND:
Well, we don’t want to battle our new hero in a dump, now, do we?

ROXANNE:
It’s clean! But how? Why?

MEGAMIND:
Maybe Megamind isn’t so bad after all.

THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA

MINION:
THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA

MEGAMIND:
I’M SO GLAD I CHANGED THE PLAN

MINION:
AN INESCAPABLY BAD PLAN

MEGAMIND:
FATE GAVE ME A DIFFERENT PATH
AND NOW I’M HERE AND PARTNERS WITH ROXANNE

MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
DISASTER’S LOOMING NEAR
AND THE ONLY THING TO HOPE FOR
IS IT DOESN’T GO AS BADLY AS I FEAR

IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG

(Roxanne and Megamind laugh.)

MEGAMIND:
Oh, that was such a funny story! And brilliantly told, by the way. Okay, now you tell one!

ROXANNE:
Bernard, I never knew you were so funny!

MEGAMIND:
And—I never heard you laugh before.

ROXANNE:
Yeah, it’s been a while. Feels pretty good.

THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
I’M SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE
I HAVEN’T QUITE GOT THIS DECIPHERED YET
BUT I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT SOON IT WILL BE CLEAR

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT

MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG

MEGAMIND:
NOTHING’S GOING TO WRONG

MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
AND THEN YOU’LL SEE I’M RIGHT, SIR
AND YOU’LL SEE THAT I HAVE BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT

ROXANNE:
I’M SO GLAD YOU HAVE YOU HERE

MEGAMIND:
I’M SO GLAD TO BE HERE

MINION:
DISASTER’S LOOMING NEAR
IT IS GOING TO GO WRONG SOON
AND THE ONLY THING TO HOPE FOR
IS IT DOESN’T GO AS BADLY AS I FEAR

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT

MINION:
SIR IS HEADED FOR A FALL
BUT THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO
EXCEPT TO STAND BEHIND HIM
AND THEN PICK UP ALL THE PIECES WHEN IT’S THROUGH

IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG

IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
