第一幕 地点：树林 人物：Victor Victoria 旁白：In a quiet town, two creatures in love dated in a tranquil wood. Tomorrow they would enter the holy marriage. However, the man’s behavior at the rehearsal was so bad that they were worried for the wedding. Victoria：Dear ，you know, since I was a child, I've... I've dreamt of my wedding day. I always hoped to find someone I was deeply in love with….someone to spend the rest of my life with. Victor: Oh, yeah… Victoria：I’m happy that you are the man I’m going to marry with. Victor: But, but I …I mess up the rehearsal. You must think I'm such a fool. This day couldn't get any worse. Victoria：No, don’t say that. I believe in you. You can do it only if you practice time and again. Victor: OK, I’ll try my best to give you a perfect wedding.. (二人拥抱后分别) Victor:（向树林深处走去） It really shouldn't be all that difficult. It’s just a few simple vows. With this hand, I will take your wine. No. With this hand......I will cup your... Oh, goodness, no. With this...With this...With this candle, I will...I will... I will set your mother on fire. （失落地低下头） Oh, it's no use. （拿出戒指，又重新鼓起勇气尝试，参照电影） With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine. Ah，Mrs. Everglot. You look ravishing this evening. What's that, Mr. Everglot? Call you "Dad", if you insist, sir. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring......I ask you to be mine. 中间情节 （参照电影） Corpse Bride ：I do. You may kiss the bride. 第二幕 地点：阴间 人物：Victoria, bride, 配角D,G I 等 VICTOR: What..? What happened?  D: -A toast, then, to the newlyweds.  VICTOR: Newlyweds?  BRIDE: In the woods, you said your vows so perfectly.  VICTOR: I did? I did. Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!  VICTOR: Keep away. I want some questions. Now! G: Answers. I think you mean “answers”. Victor: Thank you, yes, answers. I need answers. What's going on here? Where am I? Who are you?  BRIDE: Well, that's kind of a long story.  VICTOR: What a story it is.  G: A tragic tale of romance, passion...... and murder most foul.  I: This is gonna be good .以下是说唱，可以结合简单的舞蹈。G: Hit it, boys. Hey, give me a listen You corpses of cheer At least those of you Who still got an ear I'll tell you a story Make a skeleton cry  of our own jubiliciously  Lovely Corpse Bride ALL: Die, die, we all pass away. But don't wear a frown. Because it's really okay. You might try and hide. And you might try and pray. But we all end up. The remains of the day  G: That's right. Well, our girl was a beauty Known for miles around. When a mysterious stranger Came into town He was plenty good-looking But down on his cash And our poor little baby She fell hard and fast When her daddy said no She just couldn't cope So our lovers came up With a plan to elope  ALL: Die, die, we all pass away . But don't wear a frown Because it's really okay You might try and hide And you might try and pray But we all end up The remains of the day G: That's right. Okay. Oh, yeah. Come on, boys, pick it up. Yeah. Like it. Okay, Chancy, take it. Yeah. Yeah! That's nice.  I: So they conjured up a plan .To meet late at night. They told not a soul Kept the whole thing tight Now, her mother's wedding dress Fit like a glove You don't need much When you're really in love  Except for a few things Or so I'm told Like the family jewels And a satchel of gold  Then next to the graveyard By the old oak tree On a dark foggy night At a quarter to 3 She was ready to go But where was he?  ALL: And then?  I: She waited  ALL: And then?  I: There in the shadows, was it her man?  ALL: And then?  I: Her little heart beat so loud  ALL: And then?  I: And then, baby, everything went black  Now, when she opened her eyes  She was dead as dust Her jewels were missing  And her heart was bust So she made a vow  Lying under that tree  That she'd wait for her true love  To come set her free  Always waiting for someone  To ask for her hand  Then out of the blue  Comes this groovy young man  Who vows forever  To be by her side  And that's the story  Of our Corpse Bride  ALL: Die, die, we all pass away  But don't wear a frown,  Because it's really okay  You might try and hide  And you might try and pray  But we all end up  The remains of the day  Yeah.  Victor: Look, I am terribly sorry about what's happened to you... ...and I'd like to help, but I really need to get home.  BRIDE: This is your home now. Well, that's a great way to start a marriage.  Victor: But I don't even know your name.  BRIDE: Shut up! It's Emily.- Emily.   Victor:. I think you should.  In fact, since we're, you know......married,  you should definitely meet my parents. We should go and see them right now.  BRIDE: What a fantastic idea! Where are they buried?  What? What is it?  Victor: They're not from around here.  BRIDE: Where are they？Oh, they're still alive.  Victor - I'm afraid so.  BRIDE - Well, that is not a problem. Give me your hand. And close your eyes. 第三幕 地点： Victoria的房间 人物： A: Victor B: Victoria. E: Emily E: I spent so long in the darkness......I'd almost forgotten how beautiful the moonlight is.

You're the other woman. E: No! You're married to me. She's the other woman.(turn back and cry) E: And I thought... I thought this was all going so well. V: Look, I'm sorry, but... ...this just can't work. E: Why not? V: Listen, under different circumstances, well, who knows? But we're just too different. I mean, you're dead. E: You should have thought about that before you asked me to marry you. V: Why can't you understand? It was a mistake. I would never marry you. E: (Sigh and leave sorrowfully) E: (Sit down) (pluck flowers) Roses for eternal love. Lilies for sweetness.(Sigh) Baby's breath.(Throw the flower) E: Maybe he's right. Maybe we are too different. E: Or perhaps he does belong with her, Little Miss Living., with her rosy cheeks and beating heart. (SING: E：(唱) If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain, if you cut me with a knife. It's still the same. And I know her heart is beating. And I know that I am dead, yet the pain here that I feel. Try and tell me it's not real. And it seems that I still have a tear to shed. If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain. In the ice or in the sun it's all the same. Yet I feel my heart is aching though it doesn't beat its breaking, and the pain here that I feel. Try and tell me it's not real. I know that I am dead. And it seems that I still have some tears to shed. V: (Pick up the flower) I...think you dropped this. (sigh) I'm sorry. I'm sorry I lied to you about wanting to see my parents. It's just this whole day hasn't gone quite, well......according to plan. E: (抽泣) V: Oh, I'm really sorry... E: Umm...okay...I forgive you this term but...oh...What's wrong? 老头：My dear Emily...We have to talk.(Take Emily to a corner) (Victor followed them secretly) E: What? L: There is a complication with your marriage. E: I don't understand. L: The vows are binding only until death does you apart. E: What are you saying? L: Death has already parted you. E: AH! If he finds out, he'll leave! There must be something you can do. L: Well, there's one way. It requires greatest sacrifice. E: What is it? L: We have to kill him. E: What?! L: He would have to give up the life he had forever. He would need to repeat his vows in the land of the living and drink from the wine of ages. E: Poison! L: This would stop his heart forever. Only then would he be free to give it to you. E: I could never ask him.(drop to her kneels) V: You don't have to. I'll do it. L: My boy, if you choose this path…you may never return to the world above. V: I do.（牵Emily的手） 第五幕 地点：教堂 人物：Victor， Victoria， Emily &若干配角 旁白：Victor and Emily decided to hold their wedding upstairs.
