Anything Is Possible (Original Cast Recording)

Hiya. You’ll have to forgive me, you’ve caught me in the middle of tech rehearsals. You see, I’m putting on a show in my living room. It’s all about my childhood. I know what you’re thinking. Yes, it sounds really self-indulgent....Correct.

Curtain up! The stage is set for me, I have got a show for you to see. It’s really great, it isn’t straight. ‘Cos it is all about - well, kinda me.

I’m so chuffed to be here with you all. Even though the stage is sort of small. We’ll make it work, I’m humble after all.

I don’t call myself a singer. Ask my Mum. Wow, I put her through the ringer. And then some. But now it’s time to set the record straight. As I said, not straight.

Anything is possible when the stage is your living room, anything is possible with umbrellas, a suitcase and a broom. Use your imagination, there’s magic up your sleeve. Tinkerbell! Yes, anything is possible, if you just believe.

Few months ago, my Dad got a VHS player. You remember these, they’re the things you used to put cassettes in. Cassettes. No, not Cosette, she’s a soprano. “Why did your Dad do this absolutely reckless thing?”, you ask. Well, you see, the Madges were feeling very nostalgic and so we rooted through the cupboards, found some dusty cassettes and thought we’d put them to good use.

Back in June we found a video. On a tape - vintage, yes, I know. It’s sort of sad but me and Dad. We put on quite the show! I say “we” it was all my idea.

We had props, costumes, wigs galore. Now I’m here! The budget’s shit but sure. Like Oliver, I’ll leave you wanting more. So just think of happy things. Love! Hope! And you’re flying without wings. Can you cope? Follow the star, soar and you will see. The magic bursting out of me!

Anything is possible when the stage is your living room. Anything is possible with umbrellas, a suitcase and a broom. Use your imagination, there’s magic up your sleeve - Rub the lamp! Yes, anything is possible and this, you won’t believe.

In 2009 I was that gay that put on a Disney parade in my hall for my Grandma. I had such high hopes but, unfortunately, it went hideously wrong.

It was a tragic tale. The show was bound to fail. Bert missed his cue and Mickey Mouse was such a mess. The costumes went awry and I said “Why, God, why?!” The float got stuck, the bubble gun broke, Ariel’s boobs stretched out to Basingstoke. But that was then and this is now. My new technique will show you how this shining star will take the stage

by storm and perform. Perform!

Yes, anything is possible when the stage is your living room. Anything is possible when your life is like a Disney cartoon. Use your imagination, there’s magic up your sleeve. “When you wish up...” Yes, anything is possible… if you have a costume and some bubbles and a spotlight and a script. A pyro, a director, yes, I’m doing all of it! And this parade will have its grand reprieve… if you just believe!
