Winnie:
Today is the day
I've been waiting forever
It's the first day of August, 1893
Tonight there's a fair
And if handled just so
I might get my mother to say I can go
Mrs. Foster:
Winnie!
Winnie:
[spoken] Coming, Mother!
[sung]
Getting out of the house
Happens, well, never
There's a gate and a look and rules to abide
I wish I had wings
I'd look good with a pair
But if wings are too much at least give me the fair
Let this be the day
I stay out all evening
And fall right into step as a band starts to play
Not another boring day
In Treegap, New Hampshire
I can't, live like this
Forever!
Mae:
Today is the day
The waiting is over
Tonight we will all be a family again
My boys will be home by the end of the day
I can't wait
I should wait
No, I'll meet them halfway
Let this be the day
I'm free or this cabin
Where the only thing that moves
Is the clock on the wall
Better off to start the hall to start the haul
To Treegap, New Hampshire
I can't, live like this
Can't live like this
Forever!
Miles:
Off the train in New Hampshire
And it's back in an instant
The feeling that I'm somewhere I
Don't belong
Jesse: Hello Treegap, New Hampshire!
Catch me up on what's new
Your silo I see still has the best view
I swear Miles: I swear
Is there anyone Almost there
Who still knows me This town never outgrows me
Almost there Unaware
Unaware I'll never know why
I'll never know why
Both:
This world chose me
To,
Jesse:
Live like this
Miles: Live like this
Jesse: Live like this
Both: Live like this,
Forever!
The Man in the Yellow Suit:
Today a new town
And a new one tomorrow
My whole life employed
To a traveling fair
You may wonder why
This old barker barks on
It's the trail no one knows I have stumbled upon
Let this be the day
That's learn the secret
And find what holds the key
To what I'm looking for
I will knock on every door in
Treegap, New Hampshire
To, live like this
Live like this
Forever!
Winnie:
Let this be the day
Where something will happen
The Man in the Yellow Suit:
Something will happen!
Winnie: Mae:
Let me see the fair Let me see my boys
Let my mother agree!
All:
I feel it coming over me
In Treegap, New Hampshire
I will
Group One: Group Two:
Live like this Live like this
I could live like this Live like this
Unison:
Forever!
Forever!
I could live like this forever
Live like this
Forever!

Good Girl Winnie Foster
(Performed by Sarah Charles Lewis (Winnie)
Winnie:
With a cage for a yard you can only mope in
When a front door shuts,
Should a gate open?
If I don't leave now I'll only wish I had
How can I know good without trying bad?
To think I'd never seem I would,
I've gotta get out,
While the getting's good.

[Man In The Yellow Suit + Ensemble]
Join the parade, fall in line for the fair
Before the sun sets, before we roll on
Ladies and gents, our midway presents
A tonic for the woebegone!
[Man In The Yellow Suit]
Come to the fair, the best day of the year
They say it won't last, and sonny, they're right
A merriment maker, fill in an acre

But the tent comes down tonight!
Join the parade, fall in line for the fair
Before the sun sets, before we roll on

Top of the World
(Performed by Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Jesse) and Sarah Charles Lewis (Winnie)
Watch my every step
Find a sturdy branch
Don't you dare look down
Pull your body up
Dig in your heels
Let's see what this tree reveals!
Just a few more feet
Almost at the top
Watch the robins nest
Pull your body up 'till you've broken through
Let's see if this tree has a view!
At the top, at the top, at the top of the world you're drawing back a curtain
At the top, at the top, at the top of the world there you know for certain
You're alive and you are free, so follow me to the top of the world
Mountains to the west,
An ocean to the east,
Storm clouds to the north ready to pour
Every sycamore leaves me wanting more and more
At the top, at the top, at the top of the world my head and heart are pounding
At the top, at the top, at the top of the world I hear my voice resounding
I'm alive and I am free so look at me, but you gotta see it to believe it
And believe me I've seen it
The frontier of the upper atmosphere a wonder to behold it
A story yet untold it's up here, up here, up here!
I'll go out on a limb, walk a tightrope wire for the highest height
Yes I'll be seeing OH!
Give me a barrel
Guess who will find a waterfall
At the top, at the top, at the top of the world my head and heart are pounding
At the top, at the top, at the top of the world I hear my voice resounding
I'm alive and I am free so look at me at the TOP of the world!
Watch my every step
Find a sturdy branch
Don't you dare look down
Pull your body up
Dig in your heels
Let's see what this tree reveals!
Just a few more feet
Almost at the top
Watch the robins nest
Pull your body up 'till you've broken through
Let's see if this tree has a view!
At the top, at the top, at the top of the world you're drawing back a curtain
At the top, at the top, at the top of the world there you know for certain
You're alive and you are free, so follow me to the top of the world
Mountains to the west,
An ocean to the east,
Storm clouds to the north ready to pour
Every sycamore leaves me wanting more and more
At the top, at the top, at the top of the world my head and heart are pounding
At the top, at the top, at the top of the world I hear my voice resounding
I'm alive and I am free so look at me, but you gotta see it to believe it
And believe me I've seen it

Hugo's First Case
(Performed by Michael Wartella (Hugo)
Hugo:
House call
Adjourned
Leave no stone unturned
Flip here
Flip there
These flipping thins are everywhere...
Don't give up now, search cranny and nook
That's what it says in my deputy handbook
[pulling things from his bag frantically]
No that's not it, no that's my lunch
Where could it be?
Big day
Who took
Young girl
My book
Hugo-
Constable Joe [spoken]:
Hugo!
Get a clue and let's get on with it
Hugo [softly]:
Will you make deputy...

Story of the Tucks
(Performed by Carolee Carmello (Mae), Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Jesse), Robert Lenzi (Miles)
May:
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Can I start like that?
Miles:
Shouldn't start like that
May:
Be patient with me Winnie
I've never told this before
Once there was a man
A man with a wife
And a family
Jesse:
That's Miles and me
May:
Jesse, let me tell the story
I don't wanna start a war
We tore from the west to settle in the east
Looking for a farm or some land at least
Jesse:
Get to the part where I fall from the tree
Miles:
No, you've got it all wrong
May:
Miles, Jesse
Then we found a wood
Jesse:
Yes, we found a wood
Can you guess which wood
Winnie:
Mine?
Jesse:
You're good
May:
Where we found ourselves a clearing
And camped for the night
Just the four of us
Miles:
Plus the cat and the horse
They play a crucial part
May:
Yes, Miles of course
We slept by a spring near an old ash tree
Jesse:
And thats where I carved a T
May:
Jesse!
Miles:
In the morning
In the morning
Miles, Jesse, May:
We had no way of knowing
Without even thinking we drank from the spring
Who knew that spring would change everything
May:
Except for the horse
Everybody drank
Even the cat
Miles:
Remember that?
Jesse:
You can lead a horse to water
Miles:
I think she knows the phrase
May:
So days went by
Then months
Then years
With an ordinary life
Miles:
So it appears
May:
The old horse died at 25
Jesse:
But the cat was still alive
Miles:
We weren't changing
. Jesse:
. We weren't changing
. May:
Miles: We weren't changing
We weren't growing
. Jesse:
. We weren't growing
All three:
We had no way of knowing
Nobody was thinking
It's because of the spring
Who knew that spring would change everything
May:
The town began to talk Jesse:
People shyed away Winnie look at me
They were so outraged we hadn't aged Winnie listen here though
Our lives in pious Jesse:
Our looks perverse I survived a tree fall
He survived much worse
Miles:
Shut up Jesse
May: Jesse:
Still we didn't know Yes of course we knew
Didn't know the spring How could we not know though
Was the cause of it
Or where we'd sit on the delacite balance Jesse:
Between a blessing and a curse The greatest family
In the universe
Miles:
Don't confuse the girl
All three:
The cat and the horse
The T on the tree
The drink that changed us eternally
That's our secret keep it locked up tight
Winnie:
But I still don't understand
Miles:
Enough
Alright
We're not aging
We're not growing
And none of us know why
Once upon a time we drank from your spring
And now we'll never die
Jesse:
And that's the story of the Tucks
The end

My Most Beautiful Day
(Performed by Carolee Carmello (Mae)
(MAE):
Every grown woman
who stands at a mirror
remembers one beautiful day
every girl past her prime
knows the date and the time
she looked most exquisite
and she will revisit, revisit, revisit that day
her most beautiful day
for the rest of her life
my most beautiful day
pa took me dancing
everything fell into place
my hair tied like so
with a blackberry bow
a night in november
that i will remember, remember, remember that day
my most beautiful day
for the rest of my life
each memory
a sweet melody
the heart clings to
each passing day
what time takes away
the heart makes new
looking back
looking back is something to look forward to
your most beautiful day
for the rest of your life
love unlike beauty
or dresses
or dances
won't wrinkle or thicken with time
to be loved you will learn
is to love in return
find someone you care for
and winnie prepare for
prepare for, prepare for that day
your most beautiful day, for the rest of your life
your most beautiful day
for the rest of your
life

One Small Story
I don't expect to marry a prince
I don't long for a magical wand.
my nana told me her favorite fairytale, I yawned.
I'm not amused by mother goose.
I prefer my facts as facts.
if there's a beanstalk in your backyard, get an axe.
Spin me a story of wonder, I ask how and why.
But now I, now I wonder.
One small story and the earth opens wide.
one small story puts the country side in bloom.
one small story and somehow I'm outside.
my yard, my house, my room.
I'm not a girl who plays pretend, turns her bed to an ivory tower.
I'm not a girl who trusts a boy she's know, an hour.
Now they expect me to believe, to nod and go ahead.
and fall for the tallest, tallest, tallest tale I've never read.
spin me a story of wonder, I ask how and why.
still I, still I must wonder.
one small story and the earth opens wide.
one small story puts the country side in bloom.
one small story and somehow I'm outside.
my yard, my house, my wood, my town, my room
maybe it's a trick, maybe I'm naive
but I believe in your make believe.
now I know the steps of facing the unknown
first you talk to a toad.
then head to the woods alone.
and when you run out of road
you are on your own.
one small story and the earth opens wide.
one big story puts the country side in bloom.
one huge sotry and somehow I'm outside.
my yard, my house, my wood, my town
doomed from the start, or blessed to be part,
of the story.

Join the parade, fall in line for the fair.
Before the sun sets, before we are gone.
Ladies and Gens, a midway presents a tonic for the lonely one!
Come to the fair, the best day of the year.
They say it won't last, and sonny they're right!
Come to the maker, filling and acre, but the tent comes down tonight!

Partner in Crime
(Performed by Sarah Charles Lewis (Winnie), Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Jesse), Ensemble)
The pyramids, the Brooklyn bridge, the rio grande, the Rhine.
I've seen the seven wonders of the world. Can't wait for eight and nine.
But because of my predicament, peculiar situation took keep my profile low low low low.
I'm a one man operation.
Jesse! I got it! You need a partner in crime.
Someone to share in the view, why see all of the world and its glory's without a friend to tell your stories to!
Someone to stand at my side. Two extra fists In a fight!
Why should the road be long and lonely, why not team up we've only got tonight!
If no ones there to hear it, does a falling tree make sound?
Or heard or seen or anything without a friend around
The old Great Wall the Taj Mahal yes they all have merit
But this trow and bear could take the cake because you get to share it
Carrot?!
You need a partner in crime, someone to share in a laugh, running a race without a pace setter
How bout a place without my better half. With you fun is 2 for 1.
And a choc full of surprises. With you
The line moves twice as fast and no one realizes.
We do whatever we do now well that there it's reminiscing.
With 2 I finally feel somehow that something is insisting,
I have a partner in crime, someone to share in the view,
why see the world and its glory's without a friend to tell your stories to!
(Tonight we'll have fun at the fair sun setting tomorrow we're gone)
You need a partner a partner in crime, 2 extra fists in a fight,
stuck in a sticky situation lucky the tricks collaboration,
why should the road be long and lonely, we've only got tonight!
A partner in crime!
My partner in crime!
The pyramids, the Brooklyn bridge, the rio grande, the Rhine.

Time
(Performed by Robert Lenzi (Miles) and Sarah Charles Lewis (Winnie)
Miles:
I had a farm house with a grandfather clock
Where I would teach time to my son
Our lessons began at twelve o'clock sharp
When the hands would come in as one
I'd say the big hand counts minutes
It's so tightly wound
It chases the small hand
To make hours go round
I taught Thomas constellations in the sky
To tell a silver maple from a cotton wood
I taught Thomas to divide and multiply
But one he never understood was time
As I watched him grow, time
He would never know time
For my regret resides time
If I only knew the what and how and who
That time truly divides
There was a farmhouse with a grandfather clock
Where one day I woke up alone
They feared I was magic
They feared I was cursed
But mostly they feared the unknown
The big hands the father
The small hands the son
And there never came a time
When they came back as one
I taught Thomas how to catch a firefly
How to make a pebble skip and rowboat skim
She took Thomas and never said goodbye
The one thing I could never give to him
Was time, time
I'm left with nothing
Nothing but time
Winnie:
Miles, I don't have a father anymore
Miles:
You don't?
Winnie:
No. But i will always love him. For the rest of my life.
And I promise Thomas will love you for the rest of his.

Hugo,
There's not such thing as nice yellow
I don't know, Hugo, I gotta bad feeling it's all gonna come apart like wet bread
[sung]
You can't trust a man dressed in yellow
Hugo,
Only a rogue wears that hue
A man who is fondest
Of suits that are jaundest
Puts the yoke on him
And the joke
On you
They're tricksy,
All men dressed in yellow,
Something deadly in their livelihood
He must be compensating
Hugo:
Also fabricating
Constable Joe:
[laughs]
Hugo,
There you go again!
"Fabricating"
If he hated the fabric he would have never bought the suit
[sung]
He must be compensating
Hugo:
Also,
Lying
Both: 'bout why he wants the Foster's wood
Constable Joe:
Oh you can't trust a man dressed in yellow
That I knew from his very first "hello"
I should have locked him in a cell, oh
Both:
You can't trust a man-
Hugo:
From the carnival!
Constable Joe:
Also,
Carnival men can't be trusted
Something wicked there brews underneath
Those inbreds' regalia
With mad backanalia
They all share, maybe, eight teeth
I say,
Carnival men can't be trusted!
Flashy hobos, invading our towns
They ask my permission
To charge an admission
To expose us to Charlatans, acrobats and-
[stuttering]
c-c-clu
Hugo:
Clowns, sir?
Constable Joe:
[exhales deeply]
I hate them
Carnival men can't be trusted!
They're all acutely maladjusted
Who knows how their funnel cakes is dusted
Both:
No you can't trust a man-
Hugo:
With a bad handshake!
Constable Joe:
Did you notice his peculiar handshake?
His fingers neither flaccid nor firm
Hugo:
Like touching a porpoise
Constable Joe:
No, maybe a Scorpus
Keep that fish-
Hugo: Mammal
Constable Joe:
From serving full term.
Bad handshake, bad man
Both:
Watching if his grip lacks a squeeze
Constable Joe:
And a carnival man can't be trusted
Hugo:
As shifty as a swinging trapeze
Both:
And you can't trust a man dressed in yellow!
Even if you love cheddar cheese
You'll see the recipe,
One bad man
One bad man
One bad man
Constable Joe:
Come along, Hugo
Let's pick up the pace.
Hugo:
Look at him go!
I'd hate to let him get too far ahead...
Constable Joe:
Well, a fella dressed in yellow isn't gonna be too hard to track
Hugo:
Sure isn't a nice yellow
Constable Joe:
Hugo,
There's not such thing as nice yellow
I don't know, Hugo, I gotta bad feeling it's all gonna come apart like wet bread
[sung]
You can't trust a man dressed in yellow

The Wheel
(Performed by Michael Park (Angus) and Sarah Charles Lewis (Winnie)
I bet you didn't know that the sun took a shine water
She drinks up a bit but floats it up to the sky
Now what she takes from our lake
will make her a storm cloud that rumbles and tumbles rain
From up high, high, high
It's a wheel Winnie
This journey of ours
Sun to lake to cloud that showers rain back to the lake below
And you'll ride that wheel wherever you go
Not a minute or moment is the same
The wheel keeps you guessing
And everything around you is along for the ride
The pond, the bullfrogs, the birch trees, and hound dogs plus people, all people ebb and flow
With the tide, tide, tide,
It's a wheel Winnie
A ripple in water
Girl to wife to mother to daughter
Like all you kinfolk
Come and gone
Can't stop growing, rowing, changing then moving on
Once you drop an anchor, the boat gets stuck and it could stay forever
Just floating on top
Watching life pass it by Watching life pass it by
Just floating up top Just floating up top
That's what us tucks are
Just floating stuck
Show me how to climb back on the wheel
I'd be there slick as a slingshot
Prepare to get off at the end
And share with someone my spot
You can't have living without dying
so you can't call this living what we got
We just are
We just be
No before
No beyond
A rowboat anchored in the middle of a pond
Do you see now child do you understand?
it's a wheel
It's a wheel Winnie
A ripple in water A ripple in water
Girl to wife to mother to daughter Girl to wife to mother to daughter
Like all you kinfolk Like all your kinfolk
Come and gone Come and gone
It's a wheel
It's a wheel Winnie
A circle in motion a circle in motion
Can't stop rowing, growing, changing and moving on Can't stop growing, rowing, changing
Can't stop rowing, growing, and changing then moving on and moving on
. Can't stop growing, rowing, and
. changing then moving on
I bet you didn't know that the sun took a shine water
She drinks up a bit but floats it up to the sky
Now what she takes from our lake
will make her a storm cloud that rumbles and tumbles rain

And you'll ride that wheel wherever you go

Story of the Man in the Yellow Suit
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(spoken) Hold it right there, seventeen!
Jesse:
(spoken) You.
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(spoken) Me! Where's your little friend?
Oh, who am I fooling? This wood is now mine.
Jesse:
(spoken) What?
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(spoken) Why don't you show me what you've been hiding?
Jesse:
(spoken) I have no idea what you're talking about.
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(spoken) That simply is not true.
(sung) Once upon a time, once upon a time
Started just like that!
My granny told me a story
How that woman loved to gab!
Jesse:
(spoken) What does this have to do with me?
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(spoken) Only everything.
(sung) Said there was a man
With a wife and sons
And the story goes
Their beauty froze
Sound like anyone familiar?
Or should I take a stab?
Jesse:
(spoken) You don't know a thing about me.
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(spoken) I know you know where
The spring is so why don't you show it to me?
Jesse:
(spoken) Miles! It's him! This is the man!
Miles:
(spoken) Hold it right there!
Mae:
(spoken) Miles, no!
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(spoken) Oh my god.
It's all of ya! The tale's come to life,
Just like my granny said!
Jesse:
(spoken) Ma, he knows the secret!
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(spoken) And I've been guarding it with my life!
(sung) My lips are sealed
Granny didn't raise a snitch!
I can make you filthy rich!
We'll bottle the water and sell it for a fee
Split the profit equally
Angus:
(spoken) You're mad! We would never!
Mae:
(spoken) We just want to live our lives in peace!
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(spoken) What is wrong with you people?!
(sung) You could be sultans!
You could have kingdoms!
Did you not think of this before?
If you could put a price on eternal life,
They'd pay anything and more!
(spoken) Just lead me to the water!
Jesse:
(spoken) Here! Take this vial! Just let her go!
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(spoken) Oh my god. There it is.
(sung) Today is the day...
Jesse:
(spoken) You take this...
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(sung) The waiting is over...
Jesse:
(spoken) And, I'll show you the spring...
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(sung) The answer's so simple.
So perfectly pure...
Jesse:
(spoken) Please, let her go.
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(sung) The secret to eternal life
And now, I'll never-
Mae:
(spoken) No!!
(spoken) Hold it right there, seventeen!
Jesse:
(spoken) You.
The Man In The Yellow Suit:
(spoken) Me! Where's your little friend?
Oh, who am I fooling? This wood is now mine.

Everlasting
(Performed by Sarah Charles Lewis (Winnie)
(WINNIE):
there are two ways home down one long road
one clear path to two conclusions
does the story end, or never end?
does the secret fade, or is it everlasting?
I could return to my mother like nothing has happened
live like an imposter for six long years
turn seventeen, then good girl Winnie Foster
drinks from the vial and her past disappears
there are two ways home down one long road
one clear path to two conclusions
does the story end, or never end?
does the secret fade, or is it everlasting?
or I put the Tucks behind me, and pull up the anchor
ride the wheel plenty, for all that it's worth
turn seventeen, then eighteen, then twenty
for a life is the greatest wonder on earth
can I, should I, do I drink?
can I, should I, will I drink?
there are two ways home down one long road
one clear path to two conclusions
does the story end, or never end?
does the secret fade, or is it everlasting?
is it everlasting?
