We Are X-Men

Setting: It's a beautiful morning.  Birds are chirping, the sky is blue, and the X-Men are just getting up.  The scene zooms in as Jean opens her window and takes in a deep breath of cool, fresh air.  As Jean turns back towards her room, the music to "All That Jazz" from Chicago surrounds her.

Jean: My name's Jean

        And I've got mental powers

(Closes closet and drawers to the beat of the music)

        I am X-Men!  

(Room switches to Kitty's)

Kitty: I'm Kitty Pryde

(Walks through wall into Jubilee's room)

          And this is Jubilee

(Jubilee flashes her fireworks to the music)

Both: We are X-Men!

(Switches to Rogues room)

Rogue: I am Rogue

            Now watch and see me fly

           And hey, lookee here

           I've got some super strength

(Lifts her bed with one hand)

           And though I cannot touch

           I still have lots of fun

          Cause I'm...X...Men! 

All: We are X-Men!

Jean and Rogue: (As they appear in the hallway)

                           Hatcha

Jubilee and Kitty: (As they appear in hallway)

                             Whoopee

All: We are X-Men!

(Continue dancing until scene changes to Scott's room and next verse begins)

Scott: Scott's my name

          And lasers are my game

(Blasts a whole through the wall, peeks his head, and shrugs his shoulder while singing.)

          I am X-Men!  

Kurt: I am the blue elf Kurt

(Teleports into Alex's room)   

         This is Alex S.

(Alex blasts a hole into Bobby's room.  He and Kurt look in innocently.)

Both: We are X-Men!    

Bobby:  Bobby Drake

             I am the coolest guy

            Hey, is it cold in here

            Or maybe it's just me

            Cause when you've got the ice

            It always feels so nice

            To be...X…Men!     

(Boys dance until next verse, when scene switches to Storm outside)

Storm: I'm the witch

           Who can control the winds

(Creates a tornado in front of her)

           I am X-Men!

(Scene changes to foyer where Professor X is)

Xavier: Right up here

            Is where I've got the power

(Does a wheelie)

 

            I am X-Men!

(Storm dances and sings while Xavier does wheelchair tricks.)

Storm: We are more

            Than just another school

            We've got a Danger Room

            And the Cerebro too

            And when we've gotta fly

            We've got the finest jet

            Cause we're...X…Men!

(Jean and Rogue fixing their hair in the bathroom)

Both: Oh, we're gonna have ourselves a brand new day

          We are X-Men!

(Kitty and Jubilee putting on make-up in another bathroom)

Both: Oh, we're gonna start it in a whole new way

          We are X-Men!

(Scott and Alex fixing their hair in the bathroom)

Both: We'll have lots and lots of music

           Gellin till our hair is so slick

(Bobby and Kurt whisper to each other in Bobby's room)

Both: Do not fear

          The fun is here

All: We are…X…Men!  

(Teens appear on opposite side of the second floor and dance as they move towards the center stairs)

All: We're...X…Men!

(Teens line up next to each other.  1. Scott and Jean 2. Alex and Rogue 3. Kurt and Kitty 4. Bobby and Jubilee.  They sing and dance while going down the stairs)

1 and 3: Come on folks                                                2 and 4: Oh, we're gonna have ourselves

              Come join and sing with us                                         A brand new day

              We are X-Men!                                                           We are X-Men!

              We're gonna dance all day                                         Oh, we're gonna start it

              And throw the night away                                           In a whole new way

              We are X-Men!                                                          We are X-Men!

              We are here                                                               We'll have lots

              To give you quite a show                                           And lots of music

              So let's raise the roof                                                Gellin till

              Rocking back to and fro                                            Our hair is so slick

              This is the one movie                                                Do not fear

              Where you can dance with me                                  The fun is hear

              We are...X…Men!                                                      We are…X…Men!

(Xavier and Storm join the teens on the foyer. They form a horizontal pyramid.  Scott, Alex, Kurt, and Bobby in the back.  Kitty, Jubilee, and Rogue in the next row.  Jean and Storm in the next row.  Xavier in the front.)

All: No, we're not normal

      But, oh, we're still special

      Cause we're…X…Men!

      X-Men!

(Everyone raises there hands in the air, and Jubilee showers everyone with fireworks)

            Well, everyone, what did you think?  I know there's no actual dialogue, but I wanted this to be one of those giant openings.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks!
