"Thomas" Song ~ Revised


This post is only for those in the "Thomas" song.  The changes only directly affect the four Workers (not the Artists), Camellia, and Cordelia.

Albert, Beatrice, Elizabeth, Artists, Thomas, and Kathryn--none of you have any changes in your lines, but it's good for you to know that these changes exist.

I've put *  *  around word changes.  ("He" is now *they*.  "He's" is now *They're*.)

Wherever I've added voices to a singing line, that line is highlighted in yellow.

I will have copies of what's below to hand out at practice on Thursday, so you don't need to print this out if you don't want to.  ~ Mrs. Green

“Thomas” Song ~ Revised


ALBERT:                          Thomas!

WORKERS (4):               We haven’t seen the lad.

BEATRICE:                      Thomas!

LUCY:                                Must *they* shout?

ELIZABETH
& BEATRICE:                  Thomas!

WORKERS (4):               *They’re* getting quite annoyed.

ALBERT:                          Thomas!  Where’s that boy?!
                                           I sent him to the office.  He surely didn’t lose his way.
                                           It’s just a little errand.  It shouldn’t take all day!

BEATRICE:                     Thomas!

LILY & CAMELLIA
& CORDELIA:                I’d try the Biscuit Room.

ELIZABETH
& BEATRICE:                 Thomas?

POLLY:                             Or the yard.

BEATRICE:                     Thomas!

WORKERS (4):              Looked in the Slip House, guv?

ALBERT:                         Stop, I’ve had enough!
                                          That’s it, I’m going to sack him.

ELIZABETH
& BEATRICE:                He’s unemployed, dismissed; he’s done.

WORKERS (4)
& CAM & CORD:           That’s not a clever idea.  He’s the boss’s brother’s son!

~ The speaking parts happen here.  From now on in the rest of the song, there are no changes.  When it says “WORKERS (4)” above, that does NOT include the Artists.

Cordelia and Camellia are not on for the first highlighted line.

Sorry! I thought they were on for the entire song. It doesn't say in the script when they come on stage after being in front of the curtain.

I've edited the post to have just the four Workers singing that line now. Sorry about any confusion! ~ JLG

That's okay. I didn't know either until Juli mentioned it.
