-Pride and Prejudice-
The Musical
Interesting! Bizarre! Frightening!
-----------------------------------------------------
Hello all. Vest-Button here. Yes, I've never written for this fandom. I tend to stick to the weirder ones, like & "Les Mis." But then I noticed that "Pride and Prejudice" could easily be matched with the show tunes from my musicals. And that was the beginning.
The songs are posted in no particular order. Where they go in the story will be told. When possible and/or necessary and/or artistically fitting, the lyrics have been altered to improve it for the context. When they're unaltered, I didn't think it could be improved upon.
Disclaimer: Pride and Prejudice belongs to Jane Austen or her heirs. The "Fiddler" song belong to Misters Block, Stein, Harmick, and Robbins. "West Side Story" belongs to Misters Laurent, Bernstien, Soundheim, and Robbins (again). Nothing belongs to me.
And now, On with the show!
-----------------
"Matchmaker" ("Matchmaker" from "Fiddler on the Roof.")
(immediately after)
(A/N: this is not altered much from the original. But, when you think about it, it's really applicable.)
Lydia, Kitty, Mary:
Matchmaker, Matchmaker,
Make me a match!
Find me a find!
Catch me a catch!
Matchmaker, Matchmaker, look through your book
And make me a perfect match!
Matchmaker, Matchmaker,
I'll bring the veil
You bring the groom,
Handsome and pale.
Night after night, in the dark I'm alone,
So make me a match of my own.
For Papa, make him a scholar.
For Mama, make him rich as a king.
For me, well, I wouldn't holler
If he were as handsome as anything!
(A/N: See, it's perfect!)
"Miss Bennet" ("Maria" from "West Side Story")
(Darcy has noticed Elizabeth's "fine eyes")
Darcy: Miss Bennet
Miss Bennet
I've just met a girl named Miss Bennet
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me.
Miss Bennet
Miss Bennet
I shall kiss this girl named Miss Bennet
For suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound can be!
Miss Bennet!
Say it loud and there's music playing!
Say it soft, it's almost like praying.
Miss Bennet...
I'll never stop saying...
Miss Bennet!

More will come, if you want it to.
Suggestions for songs will be welcome.
Please review, or flame, if you feel the need. Thank you .
