Monologue Mania Day #453 That Should Have Been My Part! by Janet S. Tiger May 11, 2015
This is really a VERY rough song without music yet, for a musical in my brain. The musical would be about - what else?- the theater! Thanks for being here for the first draft.
That Should Have Been My Part!
A monologue by Janet S. Tiger © all

(Young woman comes onstage, she is very upset, whirling around in anguish. She points.)
Spoken
There....do you see her......she's doing what I should be doing.....because....
That's
My Part!
Did you hear me world? I'm telling you.....THAT'S MY PART!
I'm perfect for it!
I rehearsed for weeks......
And I knew every word
Sung
That's
the part I should have had....
If
the director had been smarter....
If
I didn't that zit
If
the moon had been rising....
If
I'd bought those bigger tits
That's
where I should be now
On
that stage in the spotlight
Instead
of third row
In
the back, with my boss' kids in tow
While everyone is looking at……. someone else…..
I
should have been up there
With
all eyes upon ME!
It
should have been the show
Everybody
had to see
If
only......If only.....
I
hadn't missed that line
If
my make-up had been divine!
Instead
of......okay
If
only I'd been able
to remember that unstable
Stagehand's
name......
Perhaps
he would not
Have
had to drop
That
rope upon the stage
When
my big moment came to rage....
Oh,
it should have been MY part.....
My part....oh, it should have been.....my part...
(She turns to leave, stops, looks back and leans over to
whisper)
If I only.....I wish I never ever had to.....fart....
(She exits to the finale of the song)
