Overture/ Prologue: In Every Age
by Titanic Cast

ANDREWS
In every age mankind attempts
To fabricate great works
At once magnificent
And impossible...

On desert sands, from mountains of stone
A pyramid!
From flying buttresses alone
A wall of light!
A chapel ceiling
Screaming one man's ecstasy!
One man's ecstasy...

Miracles them all!
China's endless wall...
Stonehenge, The Parthenon, The Duomo
The aqueducts of Rome

We did not attempt to make
With mammoth blocks of stone
A giant pyramid
No, not a pyramid...
Nor gothic walls that radiate with light...

Our task was to dream upon
And then create
A floating city!
Floating city!...

A human metropolis...
A complete civilization!
Sleek!
And fast!
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...

At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...

How Did They Build Titanic?
by Titanic Cast

BARRETT
How did they build Titanic?
Near a thousand feet in length.
Huge beyond past endeavor
Strong beyond mortal strength

Forty-six thousand tons of steel
Eleven stories high!
She's a great palace, floating...
Quiet as a lullaby

KATE MURPHEY

The 1st Class Roster
by Titanic Cast

PITMAN
Colonel John Jacob Astor
And Mrs. Astor, too.
Arriving now from the boat train
Direct from Waterloo station
May procced to their parlour suite
A-62!

ALICE BEANE
Her name is Madeleine
She's John Jacob Astor's second wife,
She's only nineteen-years-old
And now she's married to a prominent man
Worth over a hundred and fifty million
And twenty-nine years her senior!

They've only been married seven months
She's already seven months pregnant
And the scandal was such
They ran away to Europe to avoid the publicity!
Avoid the publicity!

PITMAN
Mr. and Mrs. Isidor Straus may proceed to Parlour Suite B-55!-

ALICE BEANE
Aren't they modest?
You'd never think by looking at them
That he and his brother own Macy's Department store...
Own Macy's Department store
Outright!
And he was very close advisor
To President Grover Cleveland
And served in the House of Representatives
Two full terms!
And that's his wife of forty years, named Ida
Sad! She hasn't been well
So the two of them have been wintering
On the French Riviera
French Riviera!

PITMAN
Mr. Benjamin Guggenheim and party will find his customary
Suite on "A" deck!

ALICE BEANE
Made his money by smelting gold
Spends it like water
Forty-five hundred dollars for
The Louis Quatorze suite!
So he can live in luxurious sin
With his latest mistress!
And they call that justice!
They call that justice?...

PITMAN
Mr. and Mrs. George Widener may proceed to Promenade Suite b-51!

ALICE BEANE
He's the richest man in Philadelphia

PITMAN
Mr. and Mrs. John B. Thayer and family, Promenade Suite B-58!

ALICE BEANE
Vice-President of the Pennsylvania Railroad!

PITMAN
Mrs. Charlotte Drake Cardoza, Suite B-54!

ALICE BEANE
No one really knows who she is
But the newspaper says she booked
The most expensive suite on the ship
And travels with fourteen steamer trunks
A medicine chest
Her personal pillows and sheets
And four little Pekinese dogs...
So she must be somebody!
She must be somebody!...

PITMAN
Last call for boarding!
This is the very last call for boarding!

ALL
Lift up the ramp
Let go the lines
Raise up her colours and designs!
Prepare for casting off
And through the port we'll slip
Each person standing at the rail,
Let one great thought prevail,
One single prayer...

God bless this noble ship!

PITMAN
All ashore who are going ashore!
All ashore who are going ashore!

Godspeed Titanic
by Titanic Cast

COMPANY
Farewell, farewell
Godspeed, Titanic...
From your berth glide free!
As you plough the deep,
In your arms I'll keep.
Safely west
May you carry me.

Sail on, sail on
Grest ship, Titanic...
Cross the open sea
Pray the journey's sound
Till your port be found
Fortune's winds
Sing Godspeed to thee...

Fotune's winds
Sing Godspeed
To thee!

Barret's Song
by Titanic Cast

BARRETT
She's sparkling clean, this new-born ship
But one old thing is clear
The orders they propose above
We execue down here...

We'll watch form here as up above
They'll catch a whiff of glory
This wonder ship may be brand new
But it's the same old story...

Stoke the fire in the hold
As the men draw back...
Feed the heat in the hold
As the men draw back
And the dust of the coal in the air is black
And a trickle of sweat runs down your back...

And what are the boys from the midlands doing here?

Coal it is that makes the steam
That runs the machines that run the world
That sends the men below the ground
To mine the coal
Each day...

From Leicestershire and Nottingham
Us lads who worked down in the pit
Knew if you got above the ground
You'd save your soul
Some way...

Get out of the pit
And westward I knew I could run
And ship out to sea and there my new life was begun...
And the screws are turning at seventy-one...

It became my dream to go out to sea...
Further out from the mine you couldn't be...
But, born to the coal, there's no place for you elsewhere
You trade a life of dank and gloom
To shovel in the boiler room
But now your seven decks below
A lady's dainty feet...

And nothing has changed
There's nothing a miner can do
The pit and your mates
Turned into the hold and the crew...
And the screws are turnin at seventy-two...

Faster and faster we watch as we gain ever more
Seventy-three, and too soon it is seventy-four...

For a record speed I belive we strive!
For the maiden ship that's too hard to drive
If you push her faster than seventy-five.

That is the truth
I swear!

What A Remarkable Age This Is
by Titanic Cast

ShareFacebookTwitterWhatsAppMessage
ETCHES
My dear Mr. Latimer!
Prepare to greet out clientele
Our meeting is imminent
Our having just rung the dinner bell
It won't be a novelty
We mostly have seen them all before...

Prepare for the usual
You should be aware of what's in store...
We've served them on the Baltic
And the Oceanic,
Olympic and Majestic
And today's the same
There's nothing changed...

Mr. Astor takes his toast dry
Mrs. Straus likes the grouse
With the sauce on the side
And the Wideners love Kidney pie
Bring it hot, if it's not
They'll be fit to be tied
They're accustomed to the best
Of all that money buys
The world of free enterprise
Has given this privilege to the rich...

When they're idle
They're entitled to the luxury
Which we provide
That's forever the source of out pride...
Which is why we're always there
With our especial form of care
For evey hungry millionaire
By now they've all arrived...

MALE 1ST CLASS PASSENGERS
We're sailing aboard the greatest ship
To ever sail the seas
The hull and the keel imperviously
Stronger by degrees

FEMAL 1ST CLASS PASSENGERS
Magnificent crystal chandeliers
Parquet in all the floors

ALL
The ceiling is Jacobean
A decor the world adores

Remarkable ship
Oh what a ship!
Remarkable keel
Oh what a keel!
Remarkable steel
Oh what a ship!

If it could be out in a phrase... it's
"What a remarkable age this is!"

MALE 1ST CLASS PASSENGERS
A fellow's invented see-through film
He calls it "cellophane!"

ALL
Another has built a parachute
For jumping out of an airplane!

Remarkable things flow endlessly
From out the human brain!
Indeed
And what a remarkable age this is!

ETCHES
Keep the Captain's table pristine
Where wer seat the elite whom we happily serve
Here they dine on fine French cuisine
It's the Creme de la Creme's
Exclusive preserve!

It's the pleasure of the leisure class's greatest wits
To be where the Captain sits
When taking their dinner on the sea
Giving deference to their preferences is our greatest art!
We play a part
In a perfectly worling machine

You should ever be aware
This is a privilege great and rare
A special burden that we bear
In our respective lives!

MILLIONAIRES
Remarkable! U.S. Steel
Is splitting shares a five to four!
Monopoly makes the industry
Far better than before!

MILLIONAIRES WIVES
Attending the coronation of
King George the Fifth was grand

ETCHES
And afterwards it's off to Monaco
To frolic in the sand

Remarkable talk
Oh what a talk!
Remarkable times
Oh what a time!
Remarkable world
Oh what a world!

So much to surprise and amaze...

Spent my days indoors, a home-bound lad
Hardly spoke, few friends
I kept myself to myself
Quite alone

Then I found Marconi's Telegraph
It couls span the planrt's width by half
Fifty yards, two thousand miles
The same!
Touch the spark...sound the tone

And the night was alive
With a thousand voices
Fighting to be heard
And each and every one of them
Connected to me...

And my life cam alive
With a thousand voices
Tapping out each word
Like a thousand people
Joined with a single heartbeat

I have danced with the first class, Edgar
It was oh, such a dream come true!

That class isn't for our kind, Alice...

That won't do!

There are hotels on islands, Edgar!
Great resorts on a sandy beach...

That's a world that's beyond our income
And our reach...

Please don't tell me never
I'll want this forever...ever...

No Moon

FLEET
No moon
No wind
Nothing to spy things by
No wave
No swell
No line where sea meets sky
Stillness
Darkness
Can't see a thing, says I
No reflection
Not a shadow
Not a glint of light
Meets the eye...

And we go sailing
Sailing
Ever westward on the sea
We go sailing
Sailing
Ever on
Go we...

IDA STRAUS
It's a beautiful night, Mr. Straus
Even though there's no moon
Look at all the stars
Can you find the big dipper?

ISIDOR STRAUS
The big dipper? I can't even find our own stateroom.
Every time I go out for a walk, finding my way back is
An adventure.

IDA STRAUS
Maybe you drop some bread crumbs

ISIDOR STRAUS
Can you feel how cold it's getting, Mrs. Straus?
All in the past couple of hours
Would you like me to get your fur stole?

IDA STRAUS
What, and maybe never see you again?
No thank you, I'd rather freeze

JIM FARRELL
Are you cold, then, Katie?

KATE MCGOWAN
Not now that you've got your arm around me...

JIM FARRELL
But I don't-
Oh, you're a funny one, Kate Mcgowan.

KATE MCGOWAN
Funny? T'anks very much.

JIM FARRELL
Becasue you come right out with what you want.

KATE MCGOWAN
And you find that funny, do you?
What kind of girl do you think I am?
You think I need to be told what I want?
Life's too short for that, me boy-o

The weather's quite changed, Mr. Lightoller

LIGHTOLLER
Yes, Sir, it's turned very cold
Only one point above freezing

MURDOCH
Ocean temperature's down to thirty-one degrees, Captain

CAPT. SMITH
Warn the carpenter to check our supply of fresh water,
Mr. Murdoch
-and tell the engine room to watch the steam winches.

MURDOCH
Aye, aye, sir

CAPT. SMITH
There's not much wind, is there?

LIGHTOLLE
No, Sir. It appears to be a flat calm.

Autumn/ Finale
by Titanic Cast

HARTLEY
Autumn
Shall we all meet in the Autumn?
Golden and glowing by Autumn
Shae we still be best of friends?
Best of friends...

All through each languorous season
We ebb and flow
Romance, defying all reason
Will come, then go

Still, perhaps this Autumn
Love won't retreat in the Autumn
ALl that we have won't be past
...Won't be past

Let breezes blow
And turn cold
As we continue growing old
This Autumn
Love newly found
May yet last

MRS. CARDOZA
So what do you say, gentlemen? I happen to play an excellent
Game of auction bridge. May I join you?

THE MAJOR
Where's your sense of occasion, madam?
I understand you've just lost your husband.

MRS. CARDOZA
Yes. But not at cards.

Strange and quite disorienting being here...
Recently awakened from a dream...

Things could improve if the steward opens the bar!

Oh...it's a memory I'll want to keep

Of the wing propellers and we could be delayed for an entire

I don't like the way this sounds...

BANJAMIN GUGGENHEIM

The Blame
by Titanic Cast

ISMAY
Surly something can be done to help us...

ANDREWS
Thousands on board
Trusting and warm
Roused from their sleep
Sent up above
Unsinkable ship
What she now?
What is she now?

ISMAY
Possibly she won't go down
Possibly she'll stay afloat
Possibly all this could come to an end
On a positive note...

ANDREWS
Not unless the ship could fly
Not unless we all sprout wings!
Honestly, sir, I have built her from scratch
And I know certain things!

ISMAY
If you know so much
Why didn't you know to prevent this!
What's to become of us all,
Now that providence sent this!
This is your work, Mr. Andrews!
You have done us in!
Where's her leakproof bulkheads?
Where's her double skin?
That's your job!
If someone must take the blame
It is you!
You!...

CAPT. SMITH
Innocent folk
Held in our care
Living their lives
Dreaming their dreams
Dreaming their dreams...

ISMAY
Possible a ship will come
Possibly we'll all be saved...

ANDREWS
Dammit, sir, listen!
We're hemorrhaging fast!
It's our hull that's been staved!

ISMAY
Couldn't you design it right?
Whoever heard of steel that rips?

ANDREWS
Ismay, I'm just in the business of building
It's God who sinks ships!...

ISMAY
There stands the Captain
Who sailed us straight into disaster!

ANDREWS
Oh, now it's the Captain's turn!
Pray, who urged him to go faster?...

Well, then, thank you, Mr. Ismay
For your contribution!
Now please pray for some
Miraculous solution!
Your timing is perfect!
Now help us, please
If you can!

CAPT. SMITH
Who called for speed and to break every record!
Who had to keep all the millionaires happy!

ISMAY
How dare you, Smith!
I will not stand here indicted!
Who ignored warnings of icebergs when sighted?

Who, sir, refused to extend up the bulheads?!

ANDREWS
You, sir! To give the first class
Bigger staterooms!

CAPT. SMITH
And who undermined the postion of Captain?

ISMAY
And who took a course too far north for the
Season?

CAPT. SMITH
And who kept insisting
We land ever sooner?...

ISMAY
And who should have posted ANDREWS
More lookouts in darkness?! And who had to have both
The largest and fastest?...
Who did?!

CAPT. SMITH
Who did it?! Who did it?!

ISMAY
Who did it?! Who did it?!

ALL THREE
Who did it?!
Who did it?!

ANDREWS
Possible the lord will act...

CAPT. SMITH
Possible He will provide...

ALL THREE
And indicate how
Our unthinkable fate
Can be somehow denied
Somehow denied...

ISMAY(To Andrews)
Your work
No one else's...

ANDREWS
My doing
No one else's...

CAPT. SMITH
There's only one Captain
And I was in charge...
This is my ship
No one else's...

We'll Meet Tomorrow
by Titanic Cast

COMPANY
We'll meet tomorrow
We will find a path
And reach tomorrow.
Past this day of wrath
We'll be together once again
Cling to your hope and prayers till then...

BARRETT
I'll hold thee closely
As I say goodbye
And keep your image
In my memory's eye
And all this love of ours will soar
Come dawn or danger
We'll meet tomorrow
And have each other evermore

COMPANY
Give us tomorrow
And another hour
Let our reunion
Come within our power...
Grant one more chance
To make a start
That we may live for
As we part...

CHARLES CLARKE
COme say you love me
As I kiss your eyes
Let one brief moment
Make eternal ties...

COMPANY
If tomorrow is not in store
Let this embracing
Replace forever
Keep us together
Evermore.

Whispered the words

And I love you

No one else could play your role
Forever know my mind

ISIDOR STRAUS
True companion of my soul
I won't turn from
You I learn from

Mr. Andrews' Vision
by Titanic Cast

ANDREWS
Just a cursory look at the blueprints here
Shows the weaknesses that we have missed
How the water poured in
A three-hundred-foot gash
And caused the bow to flood and to list

And then it filled to the top
Our separate watertight compartments
And began to overflow...
Because the walls in-between the compartments
Are too low!
She's only sinking because these bulkheads
Stop a deck too low!

But here's a thought! Take the line...
And extend up the walls to the brink...
It's just a small redesing...
But when it's done then i know she can't sink!
Like this!... Like this!...
Like this!... Like this!...

The ship will start to plunge beneath the surface
The water lapping at our feet
Down sinks the bow, up flies the stern
To the sky...
The panicked people in retreat
A thousand strong, they'll climb up
Toward the aft deck
They'll cling there desperately
Like bees to a hive!
There they'll hold fast
Doomed to the last
Lost and abandoned and all still alive

A few of them will hang there
From the railings
As, one by one, they'll drop away!
More than two-hundred-fifty feet
They will fall
And after that, I cannot say
I will not say...

The rest, in swarms, will overrun the boat deck
They'll lose all sense of right and wrong
It will be "Eevery man from himself", all right!
The weak thrown in with the strong!

First class, and third, and second
Will mean nothing!
And sheer humanity alone will prevail
One single class
Brute, harsh and crass
That's what will come of the world that set sail

Autumn...
Shall we all meet in the Autumn?...
Shall we all meet in the Autumn?...

Epilogue: In Every Age
by Titanic Cast

BRIDE
Fare thee well
May the Lord who watches all
Watch over thee
May God's heaven be your blanket
As you softly sleep...

ALL SURVIVORS
Softly sleep...

In every age mankind attempts
To fabricate great works
At once magnificent
And impossible...

On desert sands, from mountains of stone
A pyramid!
From flying buttresses alone
A wall of light!
A chapel ceiling
Screaming one man's ecstasy!
One man's ecstasy...

Miracles them all!
China's endless wall...
Stonehenge, The Parthenon, The Duomo
The aqueducts of Rome

We did not attempt to make
With mammoth blocks of stone
A giant pyramid
No, not a pyramid...
Nor gothic walls that radiate with light...

COMPANY
Our task was to dream upon
And then create
A floating city!

OFFSTAGE VOICES
Floating city!...

COMPANY
A human metropolis...
A complete civilization!
Sleek!
And fast!
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...

At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...

Sail on, sail on
Great ship Titanic!
Cross the open sea
Pray the journey's sound
Till your port be found
Fortune's winds
Sing Godspeed to thee...

Fortune's winds
Sing Godspeed
To thee!
