Wish me luck the cast is being posted tomorrow! Update- I got Gertrude!!!! And it’s double casted! The bad thing is my ex got Horton so that’s a bit....uh well yea 😂
SHE IS INCREDIBLE!!! OH MY GOODNESS i have watched this too many times but i am playing gertrude in one month and i hope and pray i can live up to this!
GERTRUDE I had a little trouble 'Cause I grew a little tail. Well, it wasn't really little. It was absolutely giant! And it really was attractive But you never even noticed, So I felt a little silly even trying Besides which the tail was too heavy For normal flying. HORTON Go on. GERTRUDE Well, when the hunters caught you I could see that I'd been foolish 'Cause I couldn't even help you No, I couldn't even fly. And I got so very frightened 'Cause I knew I had to save you. No one else was gonna go to all the labor. It was all up to me, All you had was your next door neighbor. (THE CAT as DR. DAKE enters.) GERTRUDE So I ran to the doctor. CAT AS DR. DAKE The doctor named Dake. And she said.- GERTRUDE My tail has been a mistake! CAT AS DR. DAKE And she said: GERTRUDE Dr. Dake, I've been foolish and vain. Pluck it out! Get it off! I won't do it again! CAT AS DR. DAKE Pluck! Pluck! Pluck! GERTRUDE Ouch, it hurt a lot! CAT AS DR. DAKE Pluck! Pluck! Pluck! GERTRUDE Ooh, a tender spot CAT AS DR. DAKE Pluck! Pluck! Pluck! GERTRUDE Just a one feather tail... DR. DAKE, GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS But suddenly, Gertrude could sail! GERTRUDE (dramatically) I sailed on a junk And was practically sunk For you. I trampled thorough the trees Full of furious bees For you. I slogged through a fog And a choking smog Down a soggy slope Through a stinking bog While my slip was gripped By a vicious dog For you. GERTRUDE BIRD GIRLS I galloped through the snow ooh... In eleven below For you. ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Yes, even though I knew ooh... I was catching the flu For you (achoo!) (achoo!) And then came the hole ooh Where I caught my sole ooh And I rolled downhill ooh Out of all control ooh 'Till I broke my fall On a jagged shoal For you! ooh, ooh, ooh, ahh! All for you All for you All for you All for you There's nothing that I Wouldn't And I couldn't And I haven't gone through... ahh, aah, aah, aah! (With tremendous conviction and grit!) I sprained my little toe, but la-la-la-la-la! I hobbled like so la-la-la-la! For you. La-la-la-la-la-la-la! ooh ... Ooh ... Ooh Then came the hit and run la-la-la-la-la! But I staggered on one la-la-la-la! For you. La-la-la-la-la-la-la! Now, here I am, ahh-ah! The worse for wear And here you are ahh-ah! I'm here! You're there! And maybe now ah! You'll know I care ahh-ah! For you! Ooh! ooh ... GERTRUDE Oh, yes. And Horton, one more thing... It took me seven weeks... But I found your clover, Too! (HORTON eagerly takes the clover from GERTRUDE)
