Trump! The Musical (Act Two)

Last week I outlined Act One of my new show, Trump! The Musical. If you’ve not seen it yet, it’s here.

I’m pleased to follow this up, and present Act Two. Basically it’s more of the same: scenes and songs that hold Trump and the GOP to account for their moves towards theocratic dictatorship. And naked agression against innocent minorities in the name of their so-called Christianity.

We ended Act One with the Democrats fighting back (one hopes) with a rousing song from Les Misérables.

OK, so you’ve had your interval G&T, a pee and an ice cream, and now you’re settling back in your seats as the lights dim for the second act of this sure-fire smash hit…


ACT TWO

Scene 1 – Outside Trump Tower, New York

ENTER TRUMP

SONG – You gotta pick a pocket or two (from Oliver!) – Trump

TRUMP goes inside Trump Tower, just as MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE ENTERS

SONG – I don’t know how to love him (from Jesus Christ Superstar) – Marjorie Taylor Greene

She ends the song in tears, holding her hand out to where TRUMP went inside, then turns and EXITS.

TRUMP appears on a balcony in flawless make-up and a white ballgown (go with me on this…)

(Wait for it…)

SONG – Don’t cry for me, Margie Taylor (adapted from Evita) – Trump


Scene 2 – A classroom in a primary school

ENTER CHILDREN, who hide under their desks.

ENTER the NRA CHORUS (same as the MAGA Chorus in Act One, just with more guns, and their hats on backwards). They surround the CHILDREN with guns out.

SONG – Revolting Children (from Matilda the Musical) – NRA Chorus

ENTER SOME ARMED POLICEMEN

SONG – They both reached for the gun (from Chicago) – NRA Chorus and Policemen


Scene 3 – A Pride Parade

ENTER DRAG QUEEN and GAY CHORUS

Bright, sunny lighting. There is much laughter, hugging and friendly banter. A high-energy dance takes place to the Theme from Fame. When this ends, they all drink from cans of Bud Light.

The music changes to:

SONG – Love Changes Everything (from Aspects of Love) – Drag Queen and Gay Chorus

ENTER the REPUBLICAN CHRISTIAN CHORUS

The lighting changes and becomes dark and foreboding. The REPUBLICAN CHRISTIANS move round the GAY CHORUS, breaking up the hugging and friendly exchanges, hitting people on the head with bibles and throwing down the cans of Bud Light.

SONG – Something Bad (from Wicked) – Republican Christian Chorus

The REPUBLICAN CHRISTIANS EXIT, and the lighting becomes bright again, and everyone resumes their happy laughter and hugging.

SONG – Keep it gay (from The Producers) – Drag Queen and Gay Chorus


Scene 4 – Disney World, Florida

ENTER MICKEY, MINNIE, PLUTO, DONALD (the duck) AND GOOFY

ENTER RON DESANTIS

SONG – I’m gonna wash that mouse right outa my hair (adapted from South Pacific) – Ron DeSantis

SONG – Be our guest (from Beauty and the Beast) – Mickey & co


Scene 5 – A Manhattan Courtroom

ENTER TRUMP

SONG – Tomorrow belongs to me (from Cabaret) – Trump

ENTER ALVIN BRAGG (Manhattan DA)

SONG – Making Things Up Again (from Book of Mormon) – Bragg


Scene 6 – A New York Jail

TRUMP is revealed in an orange top and trousers, in a cell. He puts his hands on the bars.

SONG – Close Every Door (from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat) – Trump


FINALE – The steps of the Capitol

ENTER JOE BIDEN, KAMALA HARRIS and the PEOPLE’S CHORUS (same as the Gay Chorus, just with less flesh on show).

SONG - Love Is A Many Splendored Thing (from Grease) – Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and The People’s Chorus


I’m seeing this as a sure-fire hit. Let’s keep this going - what other song titles could be used in this show? Put your suggestions in the comments below.
