A Word Sung on BYU's Vaudeville Would Smell As Sweet ...

by Pollyanna Eyler, dramaturg

Can you match these “WORDS” about “WORDS” on top, with the famous musicals (as shown at BYU) on bottom?

1._________________________
I'd like to say a word in her behalf,
Maria makes me laugh.

 
3. _________________________

   Words, Words, Words, I’m so Sick of Words,
I get words all day through, first from him, now from you
Is that all you blaggards can do?
Never do I ever want to hear another word, there isn’t one,
I haven’t heard.
Here we are together in what ought to be a dream;
Say one more word and I’ll scream!

However, director Ashley Parov had a vision to make this classic ballet more accessible to ballerinas of all ages. Instead of producing a typical 3-hour-long ballet, Ashley imagined an hour-long family-friendly piece. How then, do you fill in the gaps of the story?
