joegodaOkay.. this is just a thought. I don't feel this is how the story begins, but it's how it's starting in my head. At least I'm putting something down.
Arrgh.. I just realized that this won't work. There are only songs for the protaganist... no songs or lyrics for anyone else. A musical where only one character sings all the songs? I don't think this is a good thing. Hmmm... more research. Maybe I'll be sending a new email to Jonathon and see what he has to say.

Scene 1 Act 1 - Skull Crusher Mountains
Scene opens with lightning crashes and peals of thunder. Curtain is dark and the flashes are in-house.
Curtain rises on typical mad scientist lair, with Jacob's ladder flashing electicity and walls of switches and dials. Lab table with beakers and bubbling potions and bunsen burners and odds and ends one would find in a mad scientists lair.
Mad scientist (MS), standing downstage center, just behind curtain. Normal enough looking gent, about late 20's, wearing white lab coat over tshirt and jeans, heavy rubber gloves, and welding goggles. Tshirt needs the Code Monkey logo.
Behind MS, near L of center stage, is a dentist chair, modified with straps around both wrists, ankles and one around the forehead, lit with bright white light. Strapped to the chair is young woman (YW), about the same age as MS. Young woman is just waking up, a bit dazed. Once fully awake, she screams
Near Left of YW is Scarface, henchman to WS. Typical hunchback type, with scar on face, of course. Maybe even a patch over his eye. Maybe even have one hand a mechanical claw, just for fun. He stands Pensive. When YW screams, he calls out
SCARFACE: Doctor! She is a wake... again.
MS: (to Scarface) I've told you to call me Master, you dolt!
(to YW) Do please stop screaming, my dear. You are perfectly safe... for now.

Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain
I hope that you've enjoyed your stay so far
I see you've met my assistant Scarface
His appearance is quite disturbing
But I assure you he's harmless enough
He's a sweetheart, calls me master
And he has a way of finding pretty things and bringing them to me
Oh, and I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet
I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don't like it
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don't like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Oh, and I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet
Picture the two of us alone inside my golden submarine
While up above the waves my doomsday squad ignites the atmosphere
And all the fools who lead their foolish lives may find it quite explosive
Well it won't mean half as much to me if I don't have you here
You know it isn't easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain
Maybe you could cut me just a little slack
Would it kill you to be civil?
I've been patient, I've been gracious
And this mountain is covered with wolves
Hear them howling, my hungry children
Maybe you should stay and have another drink and think about me and you
Oh, and I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet
I shouldn't kill you yet
I shouldn't kill you yet
(Music Ends)
So you see, my darling, you have nothing to worry.
