I know the following about my show so far:

I want
-monolgues and songs, all improvised
-a pathetic gay character, sad, despondent, but funny
-piano player and 1-2 supporting improvisors
-a stool
-some audience participation: "This song is about...?"

The feel I want
-I did a song a few years ago while sitting on top of a piano in a Gen S show, being all camp and dramatic, with Matt Soule playing the piano. I sang something like...Night is day, day is black, hop in my potato sack..And then I started laughing and couldn't stop. The audience went with me. That's the feeling I want. Fun, crazy, spontaneous. Silly

Song style
-ballads and a few up tempo
-maybe one Sondheim near the middle or end
-a few simple ballads, jazzy, in the beginning
-one or two up-tempo (those are hard)
-one song where I tap dance or lyrical dance with a baton

Crazy ideas
-have a middle or high school dance troupe do some kind of Celine Dion Cirque number where they dance and do acrobatics while I sing a made-up power ballad. If it worked, that is something I would like to see

I know I want to do songs and things and moments I enjoy doing. Ballads, dramatic monolgues about weird stuff, dancing... One thought I had while I was panicking today about the show was that I might be panicking for no reason. I have time. I have some ideas. It might not be as hard as I think.

Involving the audience would make them have more fun because it would involve them and empower them to have a voice in the show. It might be fun to pull people out of the audience and sing to them. Ooh- what if I pulled a plant out of the audience and when I sat on his lap in the middle of the song I was singing, he jumps up, punches me and runs out. Then I sing a strong woman song.
