1983 Raggedy Ann and Andy (Circus Version/Tim Mason Version) synopsis:
DISCLAIMER: We only have very scattered materials from this show, so this is my best attempt to piece the plot together from multiple sources and writings from different points in rehearsal. Song names also may not be 100% accurate (or just never had an official name in the first place). We are respecting our agreements with those involved to not share specific materials, but we're doing our best to provide all the information we can about what the plot looks like!
It's long so click below to read it:
Act 1
Marcella’s family is moving from their home in Maple Plain to a new place in Apple Valley. Marcella’s older sister Stella tells her to pack and complains that she is too old for toys. Marcella reluctantly packs up her toys in their box (Movin’ Along), but after she leaves the dolls come to life and climb out. All but Raggedy Andy, who is still asleep, as Raggedy Ann has planned a surprise party for his birthday. The dolls worry that they overheard Marcella’s mother saying she’d throw them away, and when Ann tries to calm them, they counter that Marcella loves her and Andy best and even took them to the carnival. Ann describes what it’s like out in the real world (I Look and What do I See).
When he wakes up, Andy doesn’t care about the party or Ann’s present of candy hearts and paper flowers. He’s tired of living in the nursery and wants to get out to see the carnival (I’m No Girl’s Toy). Uncle Clem and Raggedy Ann tell him the tale of how all dolls come to life (Meg of Galloway), in which the doll named Meg was brought to life to rescue her sick little girl, and how that’s why all toys have been alive ever since. But after the rest of the dolls go back into the box, Andy rewrites over the packing label to send them to the carnival instead of their new home.
The movers take the box of dolls to Cornelius J. Tinker's World-Class carnival and Traveling Medicine Show (The Carnival Song), where we meet the owner Cornelius Tinker and his wife Tina Tinker. She complains that she had a shot at being a big star before her husband convinced her to join his run-down carnival as the bearded lady (Worst Little Carnival on Earth).
The box is left at their door, and all the dolls climb out. They’re confused, and angry at Andy for getting them lost, but all Andy cares about is joining the circus. Cornelius consults the carnival’s fortune teller, Fatima, who tells him strangers are coming into his life. At that moment, Andy sneaks into the tent to pitch his new show. Cornelius is amazed by the talking doll with no mechanics or puppetry, and immediately agrees to give them the headlining act (A Miracle). The dolls berate Andy again for revealing their secret of life to “the big people”, but all but Ann are swayed by his promise of fame and fortune, and go off to practice for the show.
We see Marcella and her sister, now in their new home, as Marcella is upset her dolls are lost. Stella says her parents will buy her new ones, but Marcella refuses.
Alone on the midway, Ann meets Sydney, the photographer’s prop camel who used to be a toy, but has been abandoned for years as a prop. Raggedy Ann and Marcella (still at home) share his sadness (Blue).
Tina has invited her brother, the gangster Big Frankie Malone (followed by his henchman Nickie) who has offered to take her back to the Big City and make her a star actress again. Cornelius promises Tina that their luck is about to turn around, because he has a brand new act that is sure to get people’s attention. Frankie, intrigued by the supposedly living dolls, forces her to stay. The dolls continue to rehearse for the big show (My Turn Now Part I) which is an all-out dancing revue (My Turn Now Part II). Frankie buys the act and the dolls are sent to pack up before the show goes on the road, but Ann has regrets and misses Marcella (Rag Dolly).
Act 2
Time has passed, and Frankie has taken the dolls on a grand tour all across the country. Radio reporter Walter Winchell describes their resounding success and how their popularity has inspired fashion styles, Clem look-alike contests, they got to meet Shirley Temple and the Teddy Bear was given the key to the city of Fargo. Scientists have begun to experiment on dolls, trying to determine if all dolls are alive and how. In an interview, Cornelius, who is the only one the dolls have talked to directly while not performing, tries to explain but is silenced by Frankie. Frankie appeals to the crowd that he doesn’t care about money or fame, only entertaining people (A Man With a Dream). Their next stop is the Big City, where they will play at the Bijou theater. Marcella hears the news over the radio, and plans to run away to find her dolls.
The dolls are waiting in the train car on their way to their next show, slightly disheveled from their time on the road. Raggedy Ann is growing tired, and Sydney tells them it’s because she has been away from Marcella for too long, without fulfilling their purpose as a kid’s toy they loose what makes them alive. Ann gets weaker and weaker, and Andy sings to her to cheer her up (Candy Hearts Part I) before deciding it’s time they went home. He stops the train, which draws the attention of the Big People in the car ahead. The rest of the dolls escape to the back of the train, but Andy and Ann are cornered by Frankie, who grabs them and threatens the Tinkers when they try to intervene. Nickie returns, having captured the others and locked them in the next car, and takes the lifeless Ann away with him (Candy Hearts Part II).
Marcella takes a train alone to the Big City, and tries to get help as she looks for the Bijou theater. Two porters carrying the doll box (which she does not recognize) refuse to answer her questions. Fatima arrives to tell Marcella her dolls need her. Fatima shares her life story and how difficult it was growing up as a child who always knew what was coming next (No Surprises), and offers to take Marcella to find the toys.
At the theater, Frankie is telling reporters again that the dolls don’t use mechanics or strings, they are alive and so are all dolls. Nickie throws Ann into a backstage trash can. Ann misses Marcella and laments on their situation (Somewhere). Andy, finally regretting everything he’s done, admits it’s all his fault (Where Do I Go Now?). He hatches a plan to get them all free, and convinces Cornelius to give him his large ring of keys. Andy sticks a key in each of the dolls’ backs to make them appear like wind-up automatons. Marcella drives at the theater and tells Frankie to give her back her dolls, but the gangsters threaten her and tie her up backstage.
Ann, feeling better but not knowing it’s because Marcella is nearby, climbs out of the trash to find the other dolls, and tells Andy she feels well enough to perform with them. The curtain rises on the all-doll revue, and the dolls begin to act mechanical and jerky. Cornelius runs onstage mid-song to “wind them up” again, and in the finale they all turn their backs to the audience, “revealing” the act to be a fraud (My Turn Now Wind-Down). The audience turns against them, and the dolls run off as the curtain closes. Fatima unties Marcella, and she reunites with her dolls and carries them off towards the train station. Fatima stops Ann, telling her she still needs to deal with Frankie, and handing her a large cream pie. Frankie appears on the false stage, booed and heckled by the crowd, and Andy shoves the pie in his face much to the delight of the audience. Ann and Andy rush to catch up with the departing train. Nickie appears and threatens them, but the Tinkers tackle him.
The train departs with Ann and Andy hanging precariously off the back, and disappears into the steam. When we cut forward, Marcella and the others are safe in Apple Valley, but Ann and Andy are nowhere to be seen (Movin Along Reprise). Suddenly, a kite flies in with them hanging on to the tail, and Marcella is reunited with all her dolls at last (Finale/Rag Dolly Reprise).
I don’t know how this happened but I think I got vaguely interested in the Candyland fandom, and I was thinking ‘Wow, this is great, I wonder what a show would be like if it took place in this universe?’ And then I was thinking that the two human children would be pretty boring from my perspective, since it generally feels like the journey through Candyland has been done a million times before, because it has been, when I played it a million times as a child. So then I thought the four gingerbread pieces could be the main characters, and I don’t remember how they actually looked, but on that Windows Candyland computer game, there was a red, blue, green, and yellow gingerbread for a four player game, so I made up a few little personalities for them in my head. And I was going to drop it there, but then I got carried away and started to search through the Candyland wiki, and I saw there was a ‘Cookie Patrol,’ and so I thought ‘Yes’ and then decided the four gingerbread pieces would be a batch of Cookie Patrol officers, so these four are siblings.
Green Cookie is the leader because he was the first out of the oven, and also because he has the lollipop. It’s not actually important but everyone agreed on that point anyway since he has a way with words. Blue Cookie is happiest when they get to do acts of community service and nothing else, she doesn’t like to leave her comfort zone and she doesn’t like when their unpredictable job gets unpredictable. Red Cookie hates boring things like ‘diplomacy’ and is the first to go on the defense, or play bad cop to the other cookies good cop. And Yellow Cookie doesn’t really care that much about being the best, they are just there because they like to be around their siblings. They enjoy their job, and if they get the chance, they like to do different things too, otherwise they get stifled and start to no longer enjoy their job. Current nicknames I have for them left to right is Lolly, Powder, Crumble, and Sprinkles.
So... is the Candyland Fandom so dead there's barely no talk on how HASBRO RELEASED A NEW CANDYLAND GAME?!?! WITH ALMOST ALL THE DESIGNS FROM THE 1980's VERSION BUT REVAMPED?!
Here's a close up of everyone with a lil yap session-
PLUMPY!! THE OLD MAN IS BACK!! His candy's been changed from Sugar Plums to Candied Apples, which I suppose makes sense since no one really knows what Sugar Plums are now and days except for those who've seen the Nutcracker or been read Twas the Night Before Christmas (btw; this is what they are-):
I do have to wonder why he was gone for so many years though, it can't be because of public domain because the Lorax is still under copyright (2067). But again... with no talk of it online except for the listings on the Hasbro site and 2 TikToks, I wonder if he's why. Or it's because it was announced 2 weeks ago at a convention, idk-
Putting these 3 together bc they share the same space now, and wow... I did not realize how geographically splotchy the games were. Like, the two climates that are cold and the two climates often combined to make a sweet aren't near each other, but split? I mean, not much of an issue with Grandma Nutt and Gloppy since they were like, seperated by one land, but look at the others!
And the last three games had the cold climates polar to each other and the Grandma Nut/Gloppy being cut out!
Ik this is a Baby's First Game, but it's intresting to point out the lil details that get left behind. Then again, I'm not a geo-expert, so maybe this can happen IRL where similar climates can be split in the same region?
Anyway, who's next?
... Oh! Lord Licorice! I wanted to avoid talking abt Mint and Frostine till later, but since they followed under the same change, I'd figure to get both in one stone; the layout of the areas been changed.
Anyway, Licorice! He looks so sweet (pun intended) here! Cutie patootie... my shayla... Oh wait, Licorice Lagoon and Choclate Swamp are on top of each other now.. must feel like Punk Hazard crossing this part.
King Kandy, back to his beautiful pinky-glory! Ik all the other designs are meant to be like "Wow, he's very old, must've been ruling for some time" but I'M SUCH A SUCKER FOR HIS PINK BEARD AND HIS WRAPPER-LIKE ATTIRE HE LOOKS LIKE A CUTE GRANDPA!!
It seems that much like Grandma Nutt, he's decided to step down from the throne and take over Ice Cream Float, or Ice Cream Beach as it's now called, which he fits very well with his new Ice Cream crown. I also love his otter friend.
No Jolly this time around (weird, you'd think with Plumpy being back it'd cause a ha-loo, but maybe Jolly was the price for Plumpy) but instead these two bears!! I want to bring up the players/lore later, but apparently according to the listing they're Sweety and Soury, tho tbh I think they're names should be Gumm and Grumm. Other than that... um.. next character!
Nothing much to comment on Lolly since she's basically her OG design but with brown eyes and darker skin. But she's equally adorable, def has King Kandy (actually.. is that his name now?? With the ice cream theming? idk)
Bringing up these two again bc WHAT DID THEY DO TO MINT?! Um... canon 1980's Mint design with full eyes is going to be a... bit to get used to. But I love with the new switch up of candy elements for Queen/King she looks like those dress cakes with the barbies, and the sprinkles and frill adds to it!
Ah, I can't wait for ppl to talk abt this more!
