RITA MARSHALL: I like what she's doing This might be a thing She's giving it feeling She's making it sing She's fun but profound Let's not shove this down I like what she's doing
What she's selling I'm buying It's something we need I love that she's trying Let's follow her lead We were flat on our back But now we're on track She'll polish this turd Into treasure somehow Just maybe if Dorothy keeps doing What she's doing now
(spoken) Well, we got work to do God knows how we got this far But ready or not We move into the theater tomorrow
CARL: (spoken) Alright kiddos It's your favorite stage manager, Carl Break's over! We're gonna rehearse The new Juliet-Nurse scene Everyone else, there is a revised Schedule on the board Don't forget to sign back in! Dorothy, July, the stage is yours!
JULIE HALSTON: (spoken) He saw your motionless hair And your avocado figure And I lost the man I loved
DOROTHY MICHAELS: (spoken) To be fair, dear You did kill the last one Juliet, don't I deserve a chance At a future that celebrates me?
Oh, this is really good! Are you okay with all this?
JULIE HALSTON: (spoken) Are you kidding?
(sung) I love what we're saying I'm smiling at last It's great how we're playing I'm having a blast I trust you completely So does the whole cast We like what you're doing
She's got something special That makes you engaged
JULIE HALSTON: It's almost electric When she hits the stage
RITA MARSHALL: And I can't explain it She's taking this turkey And making it work
RITA MARSHALL & JULIE HALSTON & ?: And I can't tell you how But, honey, I hope she keeps doing What she's doing now
DOROTHY MICHAELS: (spoken) Rita, oh forget the renaissance I'm thinking all new costumes 50's, feline, fabulous
RITA MARSHALL: (spoken) Dorothy, I love it
RON CARLISLE: She won't take directions She's changing the play She's like an infection That won't go away
She just wants to fight me She doesn't despise me I hate what she's doing
It's very traumatic I'm really upset She's bringing up memories I need to forget
She's stealing my girl She's stealing my show And I'm ready to blow All because of that cow
Goddamnit! She's gotta stop doing What she's doing now
MAX VAN HORN: (spoken) Ok, Max New clothes, New lines You got this!
JULIE HALSTON: (spoken) If you take her You better take care of her!
MAX VAN HORN: (spoken) I will devote my life to her happiness I love her
DOROTHY MICHAELS: (spoken) Mean it!
MAX VAN HORN: (spoken) I will devote my life to her happiness I love her
DOROTHY MICHAELS: (spoken) I don't believe it!
MAX VAN HORN: (spoken) I will devote my life to her happiness I love her!
DOROTHY MICHAELS: (spoken) Well done max
MAX VAN HORN: (spoken) Hey, I like what she's doing She's got so much heart She's so friggin sexy And so frickin' smart
She's made me an actor She's built like a tractor I like what she's doing
ENSEMBLE: We totally need her I love her because She's always a leader Whatever she does
Something was missing And she's what it was I mean everyone's standing When she takes her bows
God, really I hope she keeps doing What she's doing now
JULIE HALSTON: (spoken) How will I live without you here?
DOROTHY MICHAELS: (spoken) Happily, Juliet Departing is such sweet sorrow
JULIE HALSTON: (spoken) Then let's gather by the fountain So we can all say arrivederci!
RITA MARSHALL: (spoken) Dorothy, You have turned this show Into a joyous anthem for all women So, I am officially changing the title From "Juliet's Curse" to "Juliet's Nurse"
DOROTHY MICHAELS: I won't let you down Because you believed in me And now anybody can see I'm really alive
I'll never let you down I'm no longer empty inside I filled up my cup I never gave up
And now I can soar To the heavens and higher
ENSEMBLE: I hope she keeps doing What she's doing right Removing our tears Relieving our fears
And when the smoke clears We'll still have careers
So what's not to love?
DOROTHY MICHAELS: I give you my word I won't let you...
ENSEMBLE: I like what she's doing
DOROTHY MICHAELS: ...down
ENSEMBLE: I like what she's doing What she's doing
