Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 31, 2016
Transcript:
Marigold: Kentucky blue, Bermuda too Centipede and fine fescue. Tall fescue, st. augustine Zoysia that's nicely green. Phoebe: What's that you're singing? Marigold: Where I am from, every foal knows that song! It is the theme song from Grass: The Musical. "It is the story of five unicorns, and how they all agree that grass is delicious." Phoebe: That's really not much of a story. Marigold: Well, in a musical, that is secondary. Phoebe: Kentucky blue, Bermuda too... Marigold: You see? It is catchy.

I wonder if they’ve been dyed like that for the stage.

The title “Grass” sounds almost like “Grease.”

Maybe they were smoking the “grass”.

At camp, all unicorns were white, but at that play, they are all different colors. I’m beginning to believe the dye theory.

In my youth we also had someone who wrote lyrics that fitted the songs but were often very obscure. He was called Jon Anderson…

No mention of crabgrass in the song, or is that in the second verse?

The unicorns tried doing a musical adapted from Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass.” It closed after one performance.

Hmmm…I recognize Luna, Big Mac, and maybe Blueblood on that stage.

Now that’s a horse unicorn of a different color.

One of the unicorns has a saddle even though Phoebe rides bare back.

Story may often be treated as secondary in a musical Marigold, but in my experience, the best musicals are the ones that have good stories to back up the music as well.

I wonder what the unicorn version of Broadway is. I image Grass is like the Cats or Hamilton of the unicorn world

I’d like to see the equestrian version of HAIR. Even made a poster of it: http://fav.me/d5qgoo8

I really love the caffeinated-looking unicorn in the group on stage.

the unicorns are all white but the grass makes hippies in audience see colors
