Every little penny in the wishing well. Every little nickel on the drum. On the drum! All them shiny little heads and tails Where do you think they come from?

Year by year, we grow learning as we go  trying to tell a story we can feel.

And then we’re kids 

not yet capable of hate 

freely dancing with each other 

unaware inside our youth 

of a difference between make-believe and truth 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Then we get bigger 

and think before we play 

give each other stage fright 

and worry what the critics have to say 

We hide in costume 

pretend we blend in with the scenery 

and act the way we’re taught we oughta be 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

Then we’re almost grown-ups 

trying to fill our parents’ shoes with broken soles 

we question our roles 

can’t seem to find our light 

sick of waiting in the wings of the same life 

night after night 

longing for a duet 

with someone who truly sees you

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

All the world’s a stage 

and everybody’s in the show 

nobody’s a pro 

all the world’s a stage

 and every day, we play our part 

acting out our heart 

year by year, we grow 

learning as we go 

trying to tell a story we can feel 

How do you make the magic real?

— Shaina Taub, from the original score from the open number titled “All The World’s A Stage” in As You Like It, released and performed at the Delacorte Theatre in September 2017.

Forgot to post this yesterday but it seems Im not yet done with the candle series. Or maybe I am, depends on how long and hard my hospital stay will be. I might just finish it pretty darn soon because I will be bored to death. Anyway that doesnt matter, have a picture:

[holly-mckenzie]

Come home with me! It’s you! It’s me. Orpheus! Eurydice. Please, come home. I’m not going back alone. But how’d you get here? On the train? Nah, I walked. I walked and sang. But how’d you get beyond the wall? I sang a song so beautiful the stones wept and they let me in, and I can sing us home again. No, you can’t. Yes I can. Are you always this confident? When I look at you I am. When you look at me, what do you see? I see someone stronger than me, I see somebody who survives… I see my wife.

Shaina Taub sings "Child" from her musical The Daughters

With Shaina coming back to Broadway I've been revisiting her older stuff and I really wish something more had happened with The Daughters, her Greek mythology musical- I think she had trouble nailing down a script but every song I heard from it was liquid gold.
