Pirates: Bluebeard-. : Has a blue beard, wears lots of blue clothing and has a “blue” disposition. Blackbeard-. : Has a black beard and an eye patch. His clothes are black as well.

He might have a hook for an arm and a purple hat on his head. Redbeard-: Has a wild red beard with perhaps a parrot on his arm. Red clothing too. Greenbeard-: An environmentally-friendly pirate. He wears all green and has a green beard. He might have seaweed as part of his clothing. Brownbeard-Has a brown beard and lots of hair on his chest and arms, for he is a gnarly pirate. Greybeard: This old timer is never without his cane and suspenders. He has grey hair/beard and always wears his glasses. Poor Greybeard he can barely hear or see. Rainbowbeard-This pirate is true force for peace and kindness wherever he goes. Pinkbeard-This pirate is the “rocker” of the group. He never leaves his iPod back on land.

Stowaways:(singing in the distance) Lost at sea, lost at sea, Tell me where I’m meant to be. Bluebeard: What was that? Stowaways: (still singing)Hear my plea, set me free, ‘Cause I’m lost, I’m lost at sea. Whitebeard: Why, that’s the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard. Purplebeard:Aye! And it’s coming from the brig. Redbeard: The brig? Find out who it is? This might be the break we need. (Brownbeard and Bluebeard come in holding the Stowaways by his arms.) Bluebeard: Aha and Ahoy! It’s the Stowaways! Tell me Stowaways, was it you that we heard singing so melodiously?(they sing) Lost at sea! Lost at sea!
Stowaway 1:(FORLORNLY)Aye! Sir! It was us! Stowaway 2: I guess we weren’t very pirate-but I meant no disrespect! Blackbeard: Disrespect? That’s the best singing we’ve ever heard on this ship! Yellowbeard: Aye, mate! Like Blackbeard said, that’s the best singing we’ve ever heard on this ship!(The King crosses his arms in disgust.) Whitebeard: Aye! Now you must go with us to the pirate-singing contest. With your help, I know we can win. Stowaway 3:Do you really think so? Stowaway 4: Do you really think we can help you win? Purplebeard: Well, there’s one way to find out. Gentlemen… Start CD “Warm-up”. “Do, Re, Mi Fa, So, La, Ti, Do” Stowaways: Echo: Stop CD
All: Perfect! King: (hoarsely)Perfect. Stowaway 1: (excitedly)Wow! Does that mean I get to be a full-blown pirate? Stowaway 2: We could be just like all of you? Redbeard: Well now, I don’t know about that. Stowaway 3: (crossing his arms stubbornly)No pirate! No sing! Greenbeard: Aye, mateys! Join me in a pirate huddle. (All the pirates get in a huddle. There is much gesticulating and talking. Finally, they all say…) Pirates: One! Two! Three! Break! Greenbeard: After much discussion, we have decided to ask you a few pertinent questions. All Pirates: Pertinent? Greenbeard: That’s advanced pirate talk, ye scurvy dogs, for “important!” Stowaway 4: Ask away! Song 7: Reprise-Pirates All Are We
Brownbeard: Do ye promise to never be lily-livered or ever say “wow” again? Stowaway 1: Wow! I mean, Aye! I sure do! Bluebeard: Do you swear by your mother’s honor that you’ll honor the pirate flag? Stowaway 2: Aye, Aye Captain! Stowaway 3: Til’ me dying days! Blackbeard: Do ye swear to be the heartiest, swashbuckling buccaneers ever to sail the sea! Stowaway 4: Aye! Aye! Aye! Whitebeard: Then by the powers vested in me, I proudly pronounce you all full-on, blow-me-down, shiver-me-timbers pirates of the briny sea! Yellowbeard: Hip! Hip! All: Hooray! Yellowbeard: Hip! Hip! All: Hooray! Yellowbeard: Hip! Hip! All: Hooray! All Stand Start CD
