Monologue Mania Day # 1508 That Should Have Been My Part! by Janet S. Tiger (c) April 2, 2018
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 rights reserved 2015 tigerteam1@gmail.com
(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 I didn't have those zits
If I'd bought those bigger tits
If the director had been smarter....
(She wiggles suggestively)
And the blond had not used barter.....
That's right where I would be....
I'm the one you all would see!
(Points)
That's where I should be now
On that stage in the spotlight
Instead of .....
In the back, with my boss' kids in tow!
While everyone is looking at……. someone else…..
I should have been up there
Ready to be free!
With every one focused.....
With all eyes just on...... 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......(quoting) ...too much shine!
If only I'd been able
to remember that unstable
Stagehand's name......
Perhaps he would not
Have had to drop
That glass box with such verve!
(Spoken) It really shook my nerve....
(Sung) Oh, it should have been MY part.....
My part....oh, it should have been.....
(She turns to leave, stops, looks back and leans over to whisper- then shouts instead)
....my part...!!!!!!!
(She exits to the finale of the song)

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)
