If I ever write a musical, I want to make it super meta, with a song called 'We Wrote This For The Tonys', and it would be one of the first songs in the show, or near the end, wherever it fits, and it would recap the key plot events with impressive vocals and flashy dancing. The chorus would be pleading for the show to win a Tony award, and if the musical's asked to perform at the Tonys, that would be the song the cast would do. My current lyric ideas are:
We wrote this song for the Tonys
That's why it's quick and so upbeat
Now our leading lady will belt a high C
Because we really want that shiny trophy
Please let us win just one Tony
See, that ensemble guy just did a somersault
Our composer's in the audience, she's waving at a camera
She bought a dress on sale for this that won't be worn again
Let her hold a Tony, and then we'll all go home
Please let this free publicity sell tickets for our show
The prices are affordable, the proshot's on it's way
And theatre kids on TikTok think we're better than 'Santa Fe'
Just give us a shot then we'll leave you alone!
