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!
