Anything - Susan Egan, Nancy Opel

I’m on a mission

The most ennobling and satisfying of all human endeavours… Love

Corine (Spoken)

Love.

You.

What do you know about love?

Princess Leonide (Sung)

If you had seen him

How like Adonis

Tall and slim

I was faint with joy just being close to him

His supple fingers

Stroking

Stroking the pages of his book

Oh, what pleasure he took in his beautiful book

Oh Corine you have scarcely begun to imagine all of the charms to be found in

the form and th feature of Agis, that’s his name…

Ahh… gis

Corin (Spoken)

But why go through all this trouble

You’re the princess, just take him by force

Princess Leonide (Spoken)

No Corine I want a husband not a hostage.

He’s been raised here by his aunt and

uncle, two ferocious philosophers

He needs our help!

Corine (Spoken)

I think we need some backup here

Princess Leonide (Spoken)

Corine this is my mission, my mission of love!

(Sung)

I would do anything for him

Anything i swear

Give up food and water

Shave off all my hair

There’s not a thing that I am fearful of

I wouldn’t do anything

Anything for his love

I’d blow the pyramids to bits, desecrate a shrine

Take a vow of chastity

Become his concubine!

Jump off a cliff

If push had come to shove

I wouldn’t do anything

Anything for his love

No one ever told me love was anything like this

Massive threat to life and limb

All at once i’m standing on the edge of an abyss

Unaware of anything but him!

I’d cause a hurricane to blow!

Order an eclipse!

Move a dozen mountains!

Launch a thousand ships!

Bring down Olympus

All of the above

I wouldn’t do anything

Anything for his love!

Princess Leonide (Spoken)

Come on Corine, lets start the maneuverer

Corine (Spoken)

So explain why we’re putting on trousers?

Princess Leonide (Spoken)

Women are forbidden in this garden so I’m disguising myself as a student

Corine (Spoken)

Why?

I gotta tell you no man is worth it, i thought you knew that!

Princess Leonide (Sung)

No one ever told me love was anything like this

All high drama from the start

From the hero’s entrance to the long awaited kiss

Nothing quite like dressing for the part!

I’d fight the Minotaur himself

Steal the golden fleece

Swim the raging hellespont

Destroy the whole of Greece

So up with the falcon, down with the dove

I swear by sweet Aphrodite above

I would do anything

I tell you anything

Yes, I'd do anything for his love
