El Bully • A Spanglish play with songs



Script and Lyrics by Joe Rosenberg

Music and Lyrics by C. Michael Perry

Additional Music by Kim Paice, Andrea Docter & Jared Rounds

This play has Spanish. This play has English. This play has them both together in the same sentence: Spanglish! In school, an English speaking tough-guy bully falls head over heels in love for an Hispanic girl. All goes well until he becomes victimized by a lack of Spanish language skills, simply because he doesn’t know that “prima” in Spanish means “cousin”. His prior treatment of his fellow students is also a hindrance for him to be understood by them — no matter how much he longs to be understood. But, enlightenment, and compassionate treatment bring a happy ending. The play has seven song lyrics ready for musical improvisation by your cast.  OR you can purchase the Piano-Vocal Lead Sheet Score that includes music for all of them and the backing tracks to sing them to. The music is varied and fun with many styles like 50s bop, rap, swing, marching band, and more.
