Callbacks

Hi everyone! Thanks for trying out for Once On This Island! We have some really tough decisions to make... you were all so wonderful! Those who are being asked to come to callbacks will be receiving both an email and a phone call tonight. If you have not been called back, do not worry! It does not mean you have not been cast in the show. It does not mean you didn't get a part, either. We have some roles that are particularly hard to cast and we need to see more from certain people, so stay tuned and wait for the cast list to be posted next week!

For those who have been called back, below are the lyrics to the new songs. You can download the songs and the callback lyrics by clicking here. Please let us know if you have any trouble with the new material by emailing gvmusical@gmail.com. Remember to stay cool and confident and show us what you've got! We're excited to see how you all play off of each other :)

Songs to prepare for Thursday:

• Ti Moune: Waiting for Life
• Mama Euralie & TonTon Julian: Ti Moune (singing your character's respective parts... we want to hear you sing together!)
• Female gods: Mama Will Provide, Ti Moune
• Male gods: Rain, Pray
• Storytellers: Pray

Pray

Storyteller 1: 

He roared down the road like the devil himself

Storyteller 2: 

Going too fast around the curves

Storyteller 3: 

Sent us scrambling off the road like chickens

All: 

He has what he deserves!

Storyteller 1: 

Papa Ge wants him

Storyteller 2: 

And Papa Ge will have him

Storyteller 3: 

The boy is dying before our eyes

All: 

Help him, hide him!

Storyteller 4: 

No! Don't touch him, better leave him where he lies. Even a wealthy man sometimes dies.

Mama Will Provide

Asaka (spoken): 

You never been away from the sea, child!

You gonna need a helping hand! 

A fish has got to learn to swim on land!

Hahaha, woooo!

(sung):

Walk with me, little girl, don't you be afraid

Follow me, little girl, let me be your guide

A pretty thing like you

Will need a thing or two

And whatever you need, Mama will provide!

Whoa-ooh-oh-oh-ohhhh!

Ti Moune

Mama Euralie

What can I say to stop you now?

Now that you’ve heard your drum and seen your dancers

Now that you think your heart has all the answers

Who knows how high those mountains climb?

Who knows how deep those rivers flow?

Who knows how wrong a dream can go, Ti Moune

TonTon Julian:

I won’t be there to guide your way

Mama Euralie:

To braid your hair or dry your tears

Both:

As we have done these many years, Ti Moune, Ti Moune

TonTon Julian:

What you are, we made you

What we gave, you took

Now you run without one backward look

Mama Euralie:

You’ll find some other boy to save

Some other life that you can share

Both:

Your heart is young, new dreams are everywhere

Choose your dreams with care, Ti Moune

Good luck everyone!

Ms. Neville & Mrs. Taylor
