Andrew Lloyd Webber
New Year’s Tango
[JOE, sung]
Max, you've pulled the stops out
It looks like gala night above S.S. Titanic
Will we play 'spot the actor?'
As if we're visiting a gallery of waxworks
[MAX, sung]
Would you rather I mix for you a dry martini?
Or shall I open the champagne?
[JOE, sung]
Max, don't be evasive
Who's she invited to the ball?
[MAX, sung]
Madame herself made every call!
[NORMA, spoken]
Happy new year!
(JOE and NORMA laugh together.)
[NORMA, spoken]
You do look absolutely divine
[JOE, spoken]
Well... thank you
[NORMA, spoken]
I had these, ah... tiles put in, you know, because Valentino said to me, 'It takes tiles to tango!'
(THEY laugh.)
[NORMA, spoken]
Come on
[JOE, spoken]
No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not on the same floor as Rudy Valentino...
[NORMA, spoken]
Oh, just... follow me
(NORMA pulls JOE into a tango.)
