Faces With Character
Wally, who is a regular at the Oasis, has very strong ideas on many
topics but particularly on "love and romance". He's definitely a
cynic. While Charlie, the bartended/owner of the Oasis, shows Wally the website
for the Single File Computer Dating Club, Charlie and Wally
disagree on the attractiveness of the people shown. Charlie finds the faces
full of character while Wally finds them laughable.
NOTE: This song is intended to be a very visual piece. As each of the “faces” is mentioned (e.g. Mona Lisa’s) there could suddenly be a very comical representation of that face. It could be done in several ways: other cast members with masks could walk on; Charlie and Wally could lift a poster board with a caricature of that face; the faces could be could be shown on a projector screen; or the two of them could simply make faces and gestures. It is the Director’s discretion as to whether to include one of the above.
