Blue-Eyed BiPedal BookWorm from Betelgeuse (aka B4[insertpunhere])

But I'm tellin' you it's vicious...and it's got these huge teeff... [holds his right hand in front of his mouth, index and middle fingers curled slightly, as if they are two huge fangs] It's DANGerous, I tell you...

Seven Dwarves

Where shall we go first?
The silver, shining Lake
Or the Garden quite perverse?
Or perhaps away to the Spire,
Then there's only a jail.

Which way audience? You decide and we wil lead on.

Mary and her full-grown <sheep>

*Steps on a dwarfs beard to get his attention. The beard pulls down off of his face on elastic straps. Steps off of the beard, which snaps back in the dwarf's face. Bends down and stage-whispers in his ear.*

You fool! Didn't you hear what the stage manager said in his office? The tour doesn't start until Sunday!

*Straightens up and gives the Stranger's arm a squeeze.*

smiley - sheep <--- looks at dwarf and says "baaaaaaaaad"

Thistle Howl - a frighteningly cute Critter of the Night

*wags her tail, you have to admit that it is a cute tail. Then Thistle realizes her tail isn't what the cat is talking about (probably).*

This thing? It sure is pretty. What do you suppose it is?

*She stands and the audience should get a good view of the golden oblate spheriod between her large feet.*

The Ugly (but rather big) Duckling

*reappears, just in time to see the smiley - sheep making ugly faces*

smiley - yikes

*hides beneath the smiley - xmastree again*

*pops out head to check the golden thing - and the shape of it seems to remind him of something*

Three Blind Mice

1: Only a jail, the seven dwarves said.
2: I never heard anything so ill-bred!
3: You can't trust a dwarf if his beard is all red.

1: Maybe that's where the farmer's wife fled!
2: As soon as we find her we'll fill her with lead.
3: And get our tails back when she's finally dead.

Cinders

*goes over the smiley - xmastree*

Ducky, darling there is no need to be scared, do come out.

*holds her hand out encouragingly to the duck*

My sisters are always telling me I shouldn't go out without a brown paper bag over my head in case I scare the horses, but I don't care. You don't look at all ugly to me or anyone else, I'm sure.

Look at Robyn, she has to wear a mask over her face smiley - winkeye

Buttercup the Pantomime Cow

Ah, Cinders, just come over here
And help yourself to milk, my dear

*moves over to a milking stool*

Someone's out to have a laugh
This would suit a tall giraffe

Purr in Boots

smiley - cat
**Furr smiley - blushes a bit at being caught red-handed in the midst of the innuendo, then turns partly to the Audience and quips...**

Yeou looked sso uncomfforrtable there on yeour seat;
(Though watching yeou squirrm was a pleassurre!)
But now that yeou've rrisen and come to yeour feet,
Rrevealing to us hidden treassure,
Let's examine the prize...
(Pleasse move yeour thighs.)
Someone bring a large scale!
And we'll gauge it's ffull worrth at ourr leissurre.
A Fine Goose musst've travailed
To lay a Golden Egg of such a meassurre.

**He nods and gives a slight bow, then whispers conspiratorially to Thistle Wolf.**

Wanna split the "finder's fee", or should we just hock it?

Three Blind Mice

1: Does the cat really want the egg?
2: Or is he after a bit of leg?

3: *tapping his way along a branch and setting a few ornaments tinkling*
What kind of egg is Mr. Dumpty?
1: *sniffing the air*
The kind whose fate is to be crumped! He
Might be here to take the fall.
2: That assumption's off the wall.

3: *slips and falls before catching another branch a few feet down*
Thank you kindly.

Thistle Howl - a frighteningly cute Critter of the Night

*blushes from all the attention, even though she really doesn't understand what Purr and the Mice are talking about. For a moment she considers asking her mother about this when she gets home, but decides she'll just be told that she'll understand when she gets a bit older. Thistle decides to pay more attention to this thing she's been sitting on.*

Why are you so interested in this...oh...OH! Cool, lookit what we found! But what are we going to do with it? We're going on tour tomorow and I and sooooooooooooo not going to carry this thing around the Island with me. It's bigger than my head.

Buttercup the Pantomime Cow

[Front]: I think that 'thing' was meant, in fact,
To be found in the final Act
Perhaps we should that 'thing' ignore
And head off shortly on our tour
