Tuck Everlasting


Me: Hey, everyone! Smile! It's Sunday! Welcome to another episode of "Ask Musical Characters"!

Hamilton: Hi!

Usnavi: Hello!

J.D.: Greetings and salutations!

Jane Seymour: (Waves)

Me: Okay, so we'll get right to it! Today's request is from SamBam260.

Laurens:...wait. What musical? What book?

Me: Oh, now that you mention it, I'm gonna have to clear some stuff up. So, what Sam wanted us to react to is a book-turned-musical called "Tuck Everlasting".

Carla: What's it about?

Me: So I only read the book, and to keep the summary short and sweet, the book is about immortality...

Hamilton: If I were immortal, I'd do all sorts of great things!

Burr: Or it could lead to disaster...

Me:...okay. Back to the topic. So, it's about immortality and how it's not all how it's cracked up to be. Back in 2016, it became a musical and had a short-lived run on Broadway. We are going to listen to the soundtrack and react to it.

Philip: Huh. Sounds fun.

[Timeskip to Prologue]

Veronica: Who's the guy speaking?

Me: That's Jesse Tuck. He and his family drink from a spring of immortality.

King George: A spring of immortality? Where is it?! I demand to know!

Me: It's...not...real? It's just fiction.

Lafayette: This is set in 1808? Hey, that's around our time!

[Timeskip to Live Like This]

Catherine Parr: Oh, so 85 years have passed?

Me: Yep, and the girl is Winnie Foster.

Me: Yep. And the Tucks are still alive by the way.

Usnavi: Wow. That spring DID do wonders, didn't it.

Sonny: Wait, why are the Tucks separated?

Me: Since they're immortal, they have to be separated a few decades at a time so their secret won't get out.

Eliza: I think I know why. If anyone found out then they'd all try to get a drink...

Peggy: Oh no. A man is trying to find out their secret!

Madison: Ah... this is an "I want" song for the people in the town.

Me: Yep!

[Timeskip to Good Girl, Winnie Foster]

Heather C.: Ugh... she's one of THOSE good girls!

Me: Heather, one more nasty word out of you and it's off to the timeout corner.

Heather M.: Oh, she desperately wants to go to the fair!

Philip: "Not allowed to go anywhere"? Poor girl!

[Timeskip to Good Girl, Winnie Foster (Reprise)]

Angelica: I feel a bit bad for her. Poor girl, can't play by herself...

[Timeskip to Top of the World]

Benny: So Winnie meets Jesse by this point?

Me: Yeah, I think so.

Nina: And he's taking her for a climb! That's cute! Even though that's not how I think of the top of the world.

[Timeskip to Hugo's First Case (Parts 1 and 2)]

Heather M.: Oh no! Is Winnie lost?

Heather D.: Duh! Don't be an idiot!

Lafayette: What does he mean by "Treegap's hit the big time"?

Me: Treegap is a small town so there isn't much crime.

Mulligan: OOOOOHHHH! He just got burned by his boss!

Anne Boleyn: Ha! That sounds like something I would say!

Daniela: Well, HE'S pretty determined.

[Timeskip to The Story of the Tucks]

Philip: So Mrs. Tuck is telling the family's story to Winnie?

Hamilton: Right.

J.D.: Well, THEY'RE fighting over control...

Anna of Cleves: Uh, we KNOW that the spring changed their lives. Like, it's the CENTER of the story for goodness' sake!

[Timeskip to My Most Beautiful Day]

Eliza: Awwww... she's recounting her marriage! I'm having a throwback moment of my own, myself!

Hamilton: We ARE OTP, are we!

Me: You get MY approval!

Philip: Me, too!

[Timeskip to The Attic]

Usnavi:...well, spending the night in a haunted house is way better than being confined all the time.

[Timeskip to Join The Parade]

Philip: Oh, it's the fair! I hope Winnie gets to go...

[Timeskip to Partner in Crime]

Sonny: Well, Jesse's been everywhere...

Heather M.: Aw, they're teaming up! Friendship goals!

[Timeskip to Seventeen]

Veronica: Wait, this song's called Seventeen? What a coincidence!

Vanessa: Woah! Woah! Woah! Let's not put any big decisions on Winnie's shoulders, all right, Jesse?

Peggy: I'm starting to wonder if I should be worried about the man overhearing them.

King George: Obviously! I'd HATE spies on the inside!

Mulligan: Hey! It's not my fault I was such a great spy!

[Timeskip to Everything's Golden]

Peggy: Yeah, I SHOULD be worried.

[Timeskip to Seventeen (Reprise)]

Veronica: Well, looks like Winnie has decided to take the immortality route!

[Timeskip to Time]

Burr: Yep. Looks like immortality is not at all what it's cracked up to be.

[Timeskip to Time (Quartet)]

Hamilton: So Jesse is really the only one who WANTS to be immortal to be with Winnie. Okay...

[Timeskip to Everything's Golden (Reprise)]

Philip: No! Not the forest!

Me: (Referring to what Philip just said) Heh... that sounds like something Evan Hansen would say.

[Timeskip to You Can't Trust A Man]

Veronica: Yep, that man in the yellow cannot be trusted, no doubt

Heather D.: Thank you, captain obvious.

Veronica: Oh I'm sorry, did I hurt you in any way? If not, then shut up, Heather!

[Timeskip to The Wheel]

Jefferson: Yeah, now that he says it, immortality DOES seem boring.

Madison: You said it.

[Timeskip to The Story of the Man in the Yellow Suit]

Hamilton: No! Not that man! Greedy much?

Jefferson: You're one to talk, Hamilton!

Hamilton: YOU TAKE THAT BACK, JEFFERSON!

Benny: Wait, what just happened?

Me: He gets hit on the back of the head with a riffle barrel and gets killed.

[Timeskip to Everlasting]

Daniela: Looks like our girl is at a dilemma here...

Me: I personally would not drink.

[Timeskip to The Wheel (Finale)]

Carla: Oh no! She died!

Me: Yep. The previous song is an instrumental, but apparently, on stage, there is a dance about the rest of Winnie's life. Okay, so that's it! How did you guys like Tuck Everlasting!

Nina: It was a pretty deep musical! And it's philosophical, too.

Eliza: About the immortality thing, I would just choose to carry on with my life.

Everyone: (Mixed responses in the line of "Yeah, me, too" or "Same here")

Me: Yep! We enjoyed it! Okay, that's all the time we have for Ask Musical Characters! Feel free to comment and request! Bye!

Everyone: Bye!
