Utopia, Limited ’24
Sung to the tune of “Although Utopian Maids the Cream”
Princess Natasha and Princess Katherine’s song from Act I
Written by Holly Windle and Maureen Kane Berg
Performed by Sarah Brickeen and Rosemary Vega
Both:
Although Utopia’s quite a show,
We need your help to make it go.
Natasha:
And so we ask this simple task:
Katherine:
Turn cellphones off at once!
Natasha:
Whatever tune your gizmo plays
Will garner scorn instead of praise
As all around you eyebrows raise
Katherine:
And you feel like a dunce.
Please wait until Act One is done
For checking scores or Wordle fun.
You know it’s rude to break the mood.
Natasha:
So silence your device.
The audience that we prefer
To our injunction will defer.
No phone should give the slightest purr.
Katherine:
Don’t make us tell you twice.
Both:
Oh, Sir Arthur’s music’s unsurpassed
And Gilbert’s words come thick and fast.
Do not distract, or vex the cast.
Turn off your phones, and have a blast!
