2 SFX: SONG 1B Come to Daytona Now - Fairies, Ladies, Katy, Kitty, Crystal,
Crimson (Witches, Steward OS singing)(All exit after dance)
Start up the mu-sic to sing you a tune

May-be a dance or two
Beauty must pick a handsome Prince
Give Scarealot a Boo...
Put down your i-phone and ban-ish the ring
Come hear the Fairies sing
Boo all the witches, have some fun, un-til we take a bow.
Come see the King, And his wife Queen Bea,
Come hear the Queen start all her scream-ing right this way your head chop's wai-
ting.
Prince Braveheart will be saving the gal from her doom
Can she be saved this time?
Meet all the witches, Good Fairies too,
Ladies and suitors fall into gloom,
Give the mean witch a …
Give the mean witch a Boooo.

Steward: Not that far away. Somewhere between Plum Coast and Bilgewater,
there lived a King and a Queen. Most of the time they were kind rulers. Only a
few head chops when the Queen was having a fit. They wished to have a baby
and the Good Fairies granted their wish. So was born the most beautiful Princess
you could ever imagine. But also on this planet, in a time long, long ago…

old sock and she looked like…
Scarealot: OK, wise guy! Are you done?
Steward: Well I was going to do a bit of a comedy routine – you know tell a few

Scarealot: Come, my beauties, I’m in a rush

I’m cooking up a special mush
To steam and simmer for my spell
To boil and bubble and with a very strange smell.
SONG:
Hubble Bubble Toil and Trouble, All we witches say
Mixing up a potion in our witchy way.
Eye of newt and hemlock juice,

put a pinch of salt in,
Boil it up for half an hour
it will be revolting.
Leg of frog and wing of bat,

stir in dragon's teeth – three
Fry it up for half an hour
and serve it for my tea, hee.

Mixing up a potion in our witchy way.

Flora: ‘Tis I, darling, your gorgeous sister. (To audience.) Just so as there is
no misunderstanding, I am the Good Fairy Queen. She’s – well – what can I say?
Poor soul, no dress sense. Doesn’t get out much, you see. (To Scarealot.) Do be
quiet, All that hissing doesn’t impress me one little bit. I’ve been shopping for
the party tonight. Want to see my goodies, darling?
Scarealot: Party? What party? (Turns to witches.) Is it on my calendar?
(Witches reluctantly shake heads no.)
Scarealot: What?? I’m not invited? What party?
Flora: The Christening party for the baby Princess Beauty. Everyone who’s
anyone will be there – Lady GaGa, Cardi B, Beyonce...
Scarealot: But not me!. Oh, they will pay. I’ll be there, invitation or not…
Flora: You should come, darling, it’ll do you good to get out and mix with
some royals for a change, rather than these… ahh these … never mind. You
might want to get a fresh hairdo. Although it might take a rake to tame that rat’s
nest.. Ta Ta.(Exits)

Witch 4: Gorgeously gross is my pick.
Scarealot: Enough! They'll be swarming to the castle like obedient little peasants –
to the wittle, wittle baby taking their presents.
Witch 2: Ohh they'll have loud obnoxious music...
Witch 5: Can we go, can we go, please?
Scarealot: We weren't invited. Why was I not invited?
Witch 4: Mailman too scared to deliver your invite?
Witch 3: Told you to get an iphone, snail mail is sooo retro.
Witch 5: Stop – the question is can we go to the party??? It's been ages since we
crashed a party.
Scarealot: Well, you mud wallowing toads – Am I not the funniest? Prettiest? most
interesting person? you would ever want to meet? (Pause.) Careful....
Witch 4: Uhh, you are a brouhaha waiting to happen....
Scarealot: I’ll be there to have my say and put a curse upon their baby girl, A
curse so cruel, their toes will curl. Come, dearies and bring the pot. One taste of

Steward: His Royal Majesty, King Bumble the 19th.
King: (enters) Oh my, looks like an awful lot of party crashers! Who let you in?
Bought a ticket did you say? Well, we are low on cash so I guess we will have to
let you stay. Pardonnez-moi, Steward but did you say King Bumble the 19th?
Steward: Yes, your Majesty.
King: Funny! I thought I was the 18th.
Steward: No, your Majesty, definitely not. That was your father.
King: Are you sure?
Steward: What, that he was the 18th or that he was your father?
King: That he was...Wait a minute, what are you suggesting?
Steward: Me, your Majesty? Nothing, your Majesty.
King: So the 19th then. A King needs to know who he is, doesn’t he? Just
think, what if I tell Beauty that when she grows up she will be King Bumble the
19th when that’s me all the time – she’ll be very confused.
Steward: She won’t be the only one. Your Majesty, I don’t think the Princess
Beauty can be king – she’s a girl.
King: I know she’s a girl, idiot. Otherwise we’d have called her handsome.
Steward: No, your Majesty, I mean girls cannot be kings – only boys.
King: What are you saying – girls can only be boys? You’re not making any
sense. At times, you seem close to an idiot.
Steward: In that case, your Majesty, I shall move.

Queen: Behave yourself, Bumble. The Steward’s doing her job – introducing
me to all these lovely people. Hello, to you all. No, don’t get up –well, not this
time anyway. So, how are you? Having a good day? Well, you can’t be, or
you’d be out doing something much more fun instead of stuck here listening to this
nonsense. Well? How are we?
King: Er. Yes, thank you, very well. Kind of you to ask.
Queen: No, you fool. I mean - well, how do I look?
King: Ah. Er… Um…
Queen: Is that it? What sort of answer is that? I come out here, looking
stunning – taken me hours to look like this – and all you can say is “Ah. Er…
Um”. It’s not right, is it girls? I don’t know why we bother. Come on, then,
what do you think?
King: Er… very nice?
Queen: Very nice. AND?
King: Your… Er… Hair looks nice, dear … Oh, and that’s a lovely new
dress … oh, and you’ve had a face lift –oh yes, I can see it now, the chin tuck,
pulling that bit up behind your ears – very nice, dear. Makes you look ten years
younger.
Queen: Face lift! How dare you? As if I need a face lift! I don’t need a face
lift do I?
Steward: Your Majesty, to me you are perfect in every detail.
Queen: See, that’s how to treat a lady. That's the right thing to say.
King: Anyway, my dear, I’m getting very worried about the Steward. She’s
been trying to tell me that our daughter is a boy.
Queen: Oh no, I don’t think so. I know a boy when I see one. There are
certain… differences. Do you remember that time when we ran off to Cuckoo
Beach for the weekend – just the two of us…
King: Yes, yes. How can I forget? Steward, isn’t it time to start the
christening? (Crystal and Crimson run off)
Steward: Indeed, your Majesty. Bring in the Royal baby. Bring in the Princess
Beauty.
(Crystal and Crimson enter with the Baby . Court and Squires crowd round)
Queen: Get back, get back. Give a girl some space! This is my baby. Bet that
surprised you! Surprised the mid-wife, I can tell you! There’s more to you than
meets the eye, she said. Out with you all. NO party until the Good fairies arrive.
Steward – go see if they are here yet. Tell them to hustle and bustle right in.
Never on time those fairies.
(Crystal and Crimson sneak whoopee cushion and hide on Queen's throne and sneak
off. Steward, Court and Squires exit. Queen puts the baby into the pram and goes
and sits on her throne. )
10 SFX: Whoopee cushion
Queen: Not again. They have done it again. I know it was that Crimson and
Crystal. If they spent half as much time learning court manners instead of playing
jester pranks... I should just...
King: Now now Queenie...

Queen: Now, you did send out invitations to all the fairies?
King: Yes, dear, as you told me. Invite all the fairies, you said – so I did.
Why?
Queen: Oh...Don’t you remember anything? You know there’s this silly old
family superstition that if just one single fairy isn’t invited to the christening she’ll
put a curse on the whole family. Not that I believe it, of course – load of old
mumbo-jumbo, if you ask me. But you’re sure you did invite them all?
King: Wellllllll, my dearest I did invite lots of fairies. We have so many you know.
I get them all bumbled up.
Queen: Well check your list and check it twice. Not to find out who is naughty and
nice but do make sure all the Fairies were invited. Or I’ll give you something to
think about! (Queen bops King on head with rolled up parchment)

Flora: Hello, darlings. Sorry if I’m a little late.
Queen: We are so pleased you could make it. I know how busy you are, what
with shopping and your hectic social calendar!
Flora: Right, where’s the little monster… er, Princess, I mean? ... Oh,
how… cute. My, how ugly. She looks just like you.
King: And the other end looks just like me.
Flora: Mmm. I think I prefer the other end.
(Enter Steward)
Steward: Your Majesties, there is an old hag here – no, don’t say it – who wishes
to give her blessing to the baby.
Queen: Well, show her in, show her in. (Steward exits) Any baby who
looks like my husband needs all the blessings she can get. Get on with your magic
wishes. It’s almost time for my beauty sleep.
King: And you mustn’t miss your beauty sleep dear, please.
Queen: Call the Court! The court is now in session! Come, come the Good Fairies
are here. (Court ladies, Crystal, Crimson and Squires hustle back on stage) Now
my good fairies, your gifts please,
Flora: Each of us may bless with a single gift. No more, no less. Let us begin
ladies...
Blossom: Her nature will be kind, trying to help all those she finds.
Queen: Butting in where she isn’t invited you say?
Bluebell: Every sound she makes will sound so swell, like the tinkling of a
magical bell.
Queen: A silver tongued devil she will be and part many from their gold? Oh
goodie.
Buttercup: On our Beauty grace I do bestow. Nimble in action and so light on her
toes.
King: As long as she isn’t light fingered and a bumble in action!

Petal: Her beauty will flourish as she grows, so rare and true as that of a
rose..
Queen: A thorn in my side? Hopefully not.
Clover: The golden rule will be her way, a golden touch she will display.
Queen: Oh good, the golden rule. Those who have the gold, make the rules!
Violet: Her singing will scare away your woes, and delight..oops, I mean chase
away your woes. Fiddlesticks, I never get that quite right.
Flora: Well, her name is A -ROAR – A. What were you thinking?
King: Em… just to clarify things – set my wife’s mind at rest, this is all the
fairies, right? There aren’t any more of you, are there?
Flora: What? Oh yes sweetie. This is all of us. Well, there is my sister,
Scarealot, I suppose, but she’s not really a fairy any more.
Queen: Your sister? Not really a fairy? What do you mean? Is she or isn’t
she?
Flora: Well, hard to say. You see, she got kicked out of fairy finishing school
– no good at spelling. Spells – spelling – get it? Get it????Must be your nap
time. Anyway she never got her wings, so officially she isn’t. But unofficially…
her name is in the school register so… could go either way.

SPOT on Scarealot
The Lady is a Witch (Scarealot)

I tried to be good, how boring do tell,
I like you quaking and locked in cell,
I’m never bothered if I make someone twitch,
That’s why this Lady is a Witch.
I get so angry and scream out a spell,

I like you shaking and wishing for hell,
I’m never bothered with blood curdling yells,
That’s why this Lady is a Witch.
I like my caul-dron filled to the brim,

Sip and be grim,
Talk back, be smacked!.
Hate to be pestered, Love to bewitch,
That’s why this lady is a Witch.

Flora: Oh darling, don’t be so tiresome. You really should relax more. Try a

but ...they might not let you in....
Scarealot: You don’t invite me to the Christening. Your reasons are? – I’m
listening. They’d best be good or I’ll be cross, And you’ll feel the wrath of
Scarealot.
Queen: We did invite you, didn't we Bumble?
Scarealot and witches: No you didn't.
King and Queen: Yes we did
Scarealot and witches: No you didn't.
King and Queen: Yes we did
Scarealot and witches: No you didn't. Did they?
Queen: Yes we did, didn't we Bumble?
King: Well… I… er… I…
Queen: I told you to invite ALL the fairies – so it’s your fault. Now she’ll put
a curse on the whole family. Idiot… idiot.

women spoiled our day.
Steward: Your Majesties, shouldn’t you be worried about the curse on the
Princess?
Queen: Yes, we do know, thank you very much! Only one of us is an idiot.
We were here when it happened, remember? Anyway, that won’t happen for
another eighteen years – plenty of time to worry later.
King: The Fairy Queen will sort out the nasty curse, won't you? Don’t worry
my dear, might give you more wrinkles.

Queen: Wrinkles? More Wrinkles! What do you mean, more wrinkles?

Flora: Excuse Me! … Nothing I can do, sweeties. If I knew what spell she’s
going to use, well… possibly. Look, why don’t you give me a ring a ding in
eighteen years? Now I really must be off – there’s a sale on – I saw this gorgeous
little number in the window – it’s so me. Toodle-oo. (Fairies exit)
Queen: How did she get that part? She’s useless. But I’ve got more important
things to do. Steward, summon the Royal Hairdresser. I need to get my roots

What taste! What class! I’ll be signing autographs later – if you can wait that

thinks he’s going to marry the Princess.
Horace: Prince Horace of Holly Hill, if you don’t mind and what makes you
think she’ll want to marry you? I mean – look at us both. Clearly anyone would
prefer me, right?

Prince 2: STOP! Enough. I have an idea – we will do some weapons training!
Prince 1: Right - and you can be our squires!
Squire 3: You're on!
Squire 1: Let's see you “heroes” in action.
Prince 1: Let's see, I remember shields were the most important thing to
remember. But what?
Squire 1: To stay behind them maybe?
Prince 2: Okay, everyone hold up your sword and your shield.
Prince 3: And try to gain the upper hand
Prince 3 waffles between fighting Prince 1 or Prince 2. Squires look on in disdain.)
Prince 2: No, no no you witless knights.

Prince 2: I don't want to play any more.
Squire 3: What time is the King expecting you?

They're off to see the Beauty,

The sassy, spoilt Beauty of ours!
We hear those two are rich as rich
And ever real rich they are.
Follow the rainbow, over the stream

Follow the fellow who follows a dream,
And soon, and soon, and soon , and soon, you see.
She'll buy all she wants on a shopping spree.


They're off to see, they're off to see
We hear the two are dumb as dumb
But ever real rich they are. They are
And soon, and soon, and soon , and soon, you see.
She'll buy all she wants on a shopping spree.

Scene 1.7 - Palace Enter Princess Beauty, Ladies and Katy)
Lady 1: It is so exciting with all the Princes coming to try and win your hand.
Lady 2: What a surprise when they see the hand they are dealt!
Beauty: Yes, how lucky they will be. Me, gorgeous, talented, beautiful,
graceful, did I say pretty, clever and stunning?
Lady 3: Oh, they'll be stunned all right.
Beauty: They will all fight over my hand. I mean how could anyone not want me as
their eye candy? How will I know which one of my suitors to choose? What do I
look for? Mummy and Daddy say I should choose one with lots of money… but
what if I don’t like him?
Lady 4: Have you dreamed about what you want him to be?
Beauty: Oh I have made a list. Handsome, brave, adoring, dashing, good
looking, smitten, and lots of money too.
15
Lady 1: So, going to do as Mummy and Daddy want this time?
Lady 2: That would be a first.
Beauty: Well, I wouldn't go that far. Real happiness is when a girl marries for
love and then finds out he has money!
(enter Kitty and Katy)
Kitty: Hello Princess, your father’s looking for you. The suitors have all
arrived but he doesn’t want you seeing them yet.
Beauty: Why not?
Katy: Well, he says he’s got to interview them first – make sure they’re
suitable.
Kitty: I think it’s just to find out how rich they are. He doesn’t want you to
pick out one without any money or some low life from Flagler!.
Beauty: I’m sure my father only has my best interests at heart.
Kitty: But what say does he have? It's the Queen you need to worry about.
The Queen was in her counting house but there was no money to count!
Katy: Money isn't everything, it can't buy happiness.
Kitty: It might not buy happiness, but it sure means you can be miserable in
comfort!
Beauty: Money, money, money, you sound like Mummy. I want to be happy
today and meet my Prince who will adore me.
Kitty: (taking her off-stage) I think we should be going – now! Or the Queen
will have our heads.
(Beauty, Kitty and Katy exit) ( Steward enters)
Lady 3: Well, I think it’s a disgrace. The Princess should be allowed to choose
her own husband.
Steward: It’s no good blaming me. I don’t make the rules.

We are not a happy lot
Consider yourself in hot water with us.
Our feelings are pretty strong.
It's clear we just won't get along.
Consider yourself well in.
Consider yourself and the part you must play.
We have come along to say
We care, In love and war all is fair.
If love should chance to be

A handsome Prince should gaze
in a love sick haze,
Why grouse?
Always a chance he'll be
Somebody to foot the bill.
Then the Princess is his spouse!

We are not a happy lot
We will make a mighty fuss
For after some consideration we are hot
Beauty picks her own
That's a must!
SPOTS OFF
King: (enters) Pardonnez-moi, but what’s all this noise about? Someone
won the lottery?
Steward: We were discussing the forthcoming marriage, your Majesty.
King: Marriage? Someone getting married, are they? Oh good! That
reminds me of a joke I heard the other night. What’s the difference between
marriage and the lottery? In the lottery, at least you have chance! Ha ha. Don’t
tell my wife I said that, will you?
Lady 1: We were saying, your Majesty, that the Princess should be allowed to
choose her own husband, that’s all. Seems only fair.
King: Does it? Well, listen, I’m the King around here and whatever the
Queen says, goes! OK? Besides, we’re broke. There’s no money left in the
Royal Treasury and if my daughter doesn’t marry a very rich prince, then you all
of you are out of a job.
Lady 2: Ah, well, that’s different. Why didn’t you say?
King: Right, well off with you. Go see what Beauty needs. (Ladies exit)
King: Trouble-makers and upstarts, every one of them. I blame you for this.
You ought to keep them under control. That’s what you’re paid for.
Steward: I do my best, your Majesty but they don’t like me. They’ve never liked
me. Nobody likes me. People seem to take an instant dislike to me.
King: Well, saves time later, I suppose. Now, let’s get this marriage business
sorted out.
Steward: Yes, your Majesty. How are you today, by the way? How’s the pain
in your neck?
King: She’s gone out shopping, thank heavens.
Queen: (enters with Crystal and Crimson with lots of shopping bags loaded)
You two – take those away and hang them very carefully in my wardrobe. And no
funny business this time. If I find my sleeves sewn shut again ..
Crystal and Crimson: No M'aam
Queen: Or the leg of any of my bloomers glued shut...
Queen: Or my boot laces tied together
Queen: I mean it. Away with you. (They exit) Have I missed anything? Have you
started yet?
King: Just about to, dear. Gone shopping have you?
Queen: No, I’ve been to the dentist
King: Ahh – took the tooth, the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth! No
new cavities I hope.
17
Queen: No, but he told me I need a new crown! Ha ha ha.
(Horace and Eddie enter.)
Horace: Your Majesty.
Eddie: Your other Majesty.
King: Who are you? Who are they?
Steward: Your Majesties, may I present Prince Portly of Port Orange and his
brother Prince Folly of Holly Hill. They are suitors for the hand of the Princess.
Queen: That’s all very well but what are they doing here? They should waiting
in the scullery with all the others.
King: Quite right! Clear off!
Steward: Don’t be too hasty, your Majesties. These are the richest Princes in the
entire land – if not the Universe –and a bit more.
King: The richest? Well, why didn’t you say so? Lovely to see you, isn’t it,
dear?
Queen: Oh yes! Darling, darling boys.
Horace: Your Majesties, may I say what a pleasure it is to see you both.
Eddie: Your Majesties, be assured, it is more of a pleasure for me than it is for
him.
Horace: There you go again – always trying to get one up on me.
Eddie: Yeah? And what are you going to do about it, eh?
Steward: Gentlemen, gentlemen, no squabbling in front of their Majesties,
please.
King: Come here, my boys, and tell me what it’s like to be rich. I do so like
talking to rich people – I always hope some of it rubs off.
( Prince Braveheart enters)
Prince: Your Majesties.
Queen: Ooh, another one!
Prince: I am Prince Braveheart.
King: Is he rich as well?
Steward: No, your Majesty.
Prince: No, I’m not rich but I’m strong and brave… and handsome.
Queen: Mmmmmm, so you are.
King: Throw him out. And while you’re at it, get rid of all the others as
well. We’ll be busy for some time. (The Royal Party exit)
Steward: Guards! Guards!
Prince: But this isn’t fair! How come they’re allowed in and I’m not?
Steward: A small matter of money. They’re rich and you’re not.
(Enter Guards)
Prince: Just let me see the King and plead my case. I appeal to you.
Steward: No, you don’t. Take him outside the city gates and don’t let him back
in.
Prince: You know, I don’t think I like you.
Steward: Nobody else does – why should you be any different? Take him away.
(Guards and Prince exit. Enter Lady 3 and 4)
Lady 3: What’s all that about then?
18
Steward: Some penniless Prince being thrown out.
Lady 4: So, it’s true is it? The Princess is not being allowed to choose who she
marries – unless he’s rich.
Steward: Listen, unless she marries a rich man, we’re all done for! The King is
flat broke – short of the old moolah! Understand? So this afternoon, a rich
prince will be chosen and this evening, she will marry him. Clear?
Lady 3: And you go along with that, do you? You’re not very nice, are you?
Lady 4: Not very nice at all. I don’t like you as a friend any more. (They exit)
Steward: Hmm! That must mean she was my friend once. Well, that’s cheered
me up any way…(exits)
(King and Queen enter with bickering Princes)
Queen: Now, boys, you must stop arguing about your riches. I’m sure you’ve
both got more than enough to share with your futures in-law. Not that we’re
grasping and avaricious, you understand, are we, dear?
King: Us? Good heavens, no! What ever that is, no, no, if you say so my
dear..
Queen: So, we must decide which of you two very rich boys is to marry our
daughter.
Eddie: Me, me.
Horace: No, me.
Eddie: No, me – I said it first.
Horace: You did not.
Eddie: Did so!
Queen: Boys, behave yourselves! Now, what do you say?
Eddie: Sorry.
Horace: Sorry.
King: That’s better. Listen, everybody seems to think that this should be
Beauty’s decision – who she’s going to marry - why don’t we let her decide?
Queen: Good idea. And as she’s only got these two to choose from, we can’t
lose. We’re so clever!
Eddie: Your Majesty – or may I call you Dad? –there is one thing. We did
hear talk of a curse put on the Princess when she was a baby.
Horace: Yes, I heard that as well – Mum.
Queen: Stuff and nonsense. That’s just some silly story. Anyway it was so
long ago, we’ve forgotten all about it, haven’t we, dear?
King: Forgotten all about what? Ha ha ha. See, all forgotten,

This is my curse. Her fate she will seal, when she pricks her finger on a
spinning wheel. Ha ha ha.
Queen: Is that all? Is that the best you can come up with after eighteen years?
King: A prick you say? That only hurts a tiny bit until a pretty lass kisses the
boo boo away!
Queen: Pretty lass? What pretty lass might that be? How many times have I
told you no touching the help. (comedy slap on both cheeks)

Queen: Yes, all the spinning wheels. Go on, get on with it.
Steward: But all the spinning wheels? What’s the point?

numbers, everything, darling. My whole life is in turmoil!
Queen: Oh dear, what a shame.
King: Yes, you are late. And “yes”, today is Beauty’s birthday.
Flora: Well, in all fairness, darling, I did say to ring me. I’ve been waiting for
your call for eighteen years – I mean, a girl can’t wait forever, you know.
Queen: Well, we don’t need you now, so you can go back to wherever you
come from.
King: You see, that witch has been here already and put this silly curse on
Beauty, but we’ve been a bit too clever for her, haven’t we, dear?
Queen: Oh yes. You have to get up early in the morning to get one over on us.
Well, we can’t stand round here chatting. We’ve got a wedding to
arrange. Come along, my dear.
King: Coming, my little dumpling. Let’s go and find that Horace and – the
other one.
Queen: Eddie. He’s called Eddie. You know, I rather like him.
(Steward, King and Queen exit arm in arm, chatting)
Flora: Oh dear. I don’t seem to have been a very good Good Fairy so far, do
I? I’m not setting a very good example, am I? I think I’ll wait around and see
what happens – just in case. And in the mean time I might get a manicure….
Scene 1.10: Forest (Enter Prince Braveheart and Guards)
Prince: Well, that didn’t go too well, did it? And I never got to see the
Princess. If I can’t get back into the Palace, I might just as well go home. Perhaps
those other two princes were right – she only wants to marry a rich man. I’m
wasting my time here.
( Kitty enters) .
Kitty: There you are. I’m glad I caught you.
Prince: What? Who are you? What do you want?
Kitty: I saw you at the Palace, waiting to be presented to the Princess.
Prince: Yes I was, but I’ve given up on that now. She only wants to marry a
rich prince, which I certainly am not.
21
Kitty: That’s what her parents want. I know she won’t be happy with either
of the two princes her parents have chosen.
Prince: That’s all very well, but I can’t get back in – there are guards at all the
gates.
Kitty: Don’t you worry. I know a secret way in. You stay here. I’ll make
sure the way is clear.
(Kitty exits)
Prince: Maybe today won’t be wasted after all.
Katy: Oh, Princess, we shouldn’t be here. You should be getting ready for
the wedding.
Beauty: Why do I have to choose between those two? Horace is dull and stupid
and Eddie is stupid and dull. What happened to all the others?
Katy: Your father sent them away. Look, Kitty will know what to do.
Beauty: Yes, but she’s not here, is she? It's almost time for the party and
wedding. Whatever am I to do?
Katy: Oh Princess, don't despair!.

Wow he sure did give her a very super kiss.
Locked in a tower – the Prince the blues he'll sing,

Lonely Prince just wants, to or-der up a ring.
So up to the mountain, to find the witch to slay
And Beauty is along - to see him save the day

She needs fair-y bright - to make it her day,
She hopes that some day soon to her knight she'll wed,
But we are nasty creatures -want them both be dead!

safe! Find some paper and get writing.

Take him forward through the years, Lead him to his vale of tears

Katy: What happened? I thought only the Prince…
Flora: I bet you thought I’d forgotten… well, I’ve bought a lovely new frock
to wear at the wedding – so we’d better have a wedding, hadn’t we?
Beauty: Will someone tell me what’s happening? What’s wrong with the
witch?
Flora: That’s rhyming magic for you, my dear. The rhyme has to be
completed or it won’t work. So any interruption…
Kitty: That’s what the Prince did. But when I tried it, it didn’t make any
difference.
Flora: Only the subject of the spell can break the spell. Or another fairy – like
me. So all in all, it’s lucky I came along, don’t you think?
Beauty: But what’s happened to her? Is she… dead?
Flora: No, don’t think so. What spell was she weaving?
Prince: She wanted to make me one hundred years older.
Flora: Oh, that one. Not a good choice. Way too difficult for someone who
didn't complete spelling 101! And of course if the spell is interrupted...
Katy: You mean, she’s…
Flora: Just look at you. You look awful!All that mascara running down your
face. Stop your balling now.
Flora: Do be quiet, all that hissing is making the floor wet. Yucky! Come
along with me, dear. I just happen to have some water proof mascara you can use
and I might have a new dress for you to wear. I think your days as a bad witch
have come to an end. Don’t just stand there, come and help her. Well, if that’s
all, I’ll see you at the wedding. Bye for now, darlings. (Flora, Scarealot and
witches exit)
Beauty: Time to get ready for the wedding, for I will have my handsome Prince
Braveheart.. Come Kitty and Katy and help me get ready. Back to the Palace we
go!
LFX: Black out

Flora: Well, here we are back home safe and sound and nearly at the end of
our story. We just have the wedding to look forward to.
Lady 1: Is everyone safe then? When we heard you’d gone off to Witch
Mountain, we thought we’d never see any of you again.
Flora: Of course everyone’s safe. Good conquers evil, remember? (All cheer)
King: (enter King and Queen. Thank you, thank you, my most loyal subjects.
How lovely that you come out to welcome me home.
Lady 2: We’re more interested in who’s marrying the Princess. We want to
know if we’ve still got a job.
Queen: Yes, who is marrying my daughter, now Horace and Eddie have been
punished for stealing my bloomers? (Enter Prince Braveheart with Beauty.)
Prince: I am! I’m going to marry the Princess – if she’ll have me.
Beauty: Oh yes, oh yes
Queen: Hang on – who are you? Oh good lord, it’s that penniless Prince what-
ever-his-name-is.
Beauty: Mother, I’m going to marry Prince Braveheart whether you like it or
not!
Queen: Oh! Oh! How dare you, you cruel, cruel girl? How can you speak to
your poor heart-broken mother that way? Your poor dear mother, who gave birth
to you, who fed you, who, who read your stories, … Oh, I can’t go on. I can’t ..
King: That’s not like you! You usually go on for hours.
Queen: Quiet, you fool! The critic from the News Journal is in tonight.
Never! Never! She shall never marry him – never!
Flora: You do know, darling, Prince Braveheart is now the richest man in the
kingdom ...but that’s probably of little interest to you…
Queen: Rich? Why didn’t you say so before? You dear, dear boy. How
rich?
King: But you said…
Queen: Shut up, fool! My boy, call me Mummy.
Beauty: Rich or poor, it doesn’t matter. I shall love him for the next hundred
years. (Princes with Squires dash in)
Prince 1: Are we too late?
Prince 2: We are here to win the hand of the Princess Beauty.
Prince 3: I stormed a mountain!
Squire 1: Right, hid in a cave until the storm passed.
Prince 1: I rescued a damsel!
Squire 2: Princess Peach you mean in super Mario.
Prince: Sorry guys. I beat you to it. Beauty is mine.
