In the great nation of Emperor Penguins, deep in Antarctica, you’re nobody unless you can sing--which is unfortunate for Mumble, who is the worst singer in the world. He is born dancing to his own tune--tap dancing. Though Mumble’s mom, Norma Jean, thinks this little habit is cute, his dad, Memphis, says it “just ain’t penguin.” Besides, they both know that, without a Heartsong, Mumble may never find true love. As fate would have it, his one friend, Gloria, happens to be the best singer around. Mumble and Gloria have a connection from the moment they hatch, but she struggles with his strange “hippity- hoppity” ways. Mumble is just too different--especially for Noah the Elder, the stern leader of Emperor Land, who ultimately casts him out of the community. Away from home for the first time, Mumble meets a posse of decidedly un-Emperor-like penguins--the Adelie Amigos. Led by Ramon, the Adelies instantly embrace Mumble’s cool dance moves and invite him to party with them. In Adelie Land, Mumble seeks the counsel of Lovelace the Guru, a crazy-feathered Rockhopper penguin who will answer any of life’s questions for the price of a pebble. Together with Lovelace and the Amigos, Mumble sets out across vast landscapes and, after some epic encounters, proves that by being true to yourself, you can make all the difference in the world.
The phantom of the opera Lyrics:Charles Hart/Richard Stilgoe/Mike Batt Music:Andrew Lloyd Webber Vocal:Sarah Brightman/Michael Crawford
Christine (Sarah) ← * Lyrucs(English) *
In sleep he sang to me In dreams he came That voice which calls to me And speaks my name And do I dream again For now I find The phantom of the opera is there Inside my mind
The phantom (Michael) Sing once again with me Our strange duet My power over you Grows stronger yet And though you turn from me To glance behind The phantom of the opera is there Inside your mind
Christine Those who have seen your face Draw back in fear I am the mask you wear
The phantom It's me they hear
Christine (in duet with the phantom) Your spirit and my voice in one combined
The phantom (in duet with Christine) My spirit and your voice in one combined
Both The phantom of the opera is there
Christine (in duet) Inside my mind
The phantom (in duet) Inside your mind
Choir (very, very soft) He's there, The phantom of the opera Beware, The phantom of the opera
The phantom In all your fantasies You always knew That man and mystery
Christine Were both in you
Both And in this labyrinth Were night is blind The phantom of the opera is
Christine (in duet) Here
The phantom (in duet) There
Christine Inside my mind
The phantom Sing! My angel of music
Christine He's there The phantom of the opera
Christine starts wailing The phantom
Sing...
Christine continues wailing, and keeps on wailing after every sentence the Phantom sings The phantom
Sing for me... Sing, my angel of music! Sing for me!
