ACT ONE
(As the audience enter the auditorium, TERRY ad-libs from the stage, offering members of the audience key rings and t-shirts, as prizes for correctly identifying the names and artists of songs that are played. DUKE stands by the entrance to the auditorium, checking their tickets and greeting the audience as they take their seats. When the audience is ready Duke gives Terry a signal and the ‘Overture’ begins)

(During the number. MAGGIE, TOM and TERRY walk over to JANE and the company go back to what they were doing before the previous number)
Jane: (To Maggie) Has anybody seen Jack? Maggie: He’s probably just late again. Jane: I can see that. (We hear the sound of a motorcycle pulling up outside) Jane: He’s gonna lose this job if he’s not careful. Tom: That sounds like him now. Hurry up an’ get in here!
(After the number, DUKE walks over to JACK with an open notepad in his hand. The others look on)
Jack: All right, Duke? Duke: An’ just what time do you call this? Jack: (Trying to think of a clever answer) Closing time? Duke: Very funny. Jack: Look, I’ve got a really good excuse this time. Duke: Oh, yeah. What? Like all the others? Jack: What’s that supposed to mean? Duke: (Looking through his notebook) ‘The dog ate my bus pass’ (He looks at JACK) Migraine,
German Measles, Whooping Cough... P.M.T? (He stares blankly at JACK) Jack: Not mine… Jane’s! Duke: Your birthday… your grandmother’s birthday… the Queen Mother’s birthday... Jack: Nothing wrong with being patriotic is there? Duke: You had your appendix taken out! Jack: What’s wrong with that? Duke: Three times? What do you take me for? Look, a little birdie tells me you’ve just come from another one of those auditions of yours.
8
Jack: An’ which little birdie would that be? (Looking back at LILY who mouths ‘Sorry!’) Duke: Now you listen to me and you listen carefully. There’s nothing wrong with chasing this
dream of yours, but do it in your own time… Got it? Jack: Yeah, but... Duke: No buts. (DUKE throws JACK a cloth and the company freeze, except JACK) Jack: (Aside to audience) Welcome to our club, Disco Inferno. Now, the story I’m gonna tell you
tonight is probably the weirdest you’ve ever heard. It was the summer of 1976, and it was as hot outside as the hits and the fashions were in - hottest summer ever recorded apparently. Do you know they even started rationing the water? It was Friday night and my 21st birthday. Not that anyone had remembered and if that weren’t bad enough, Duke, the boss, had just told me I had to make up the time I’d missed this week after hours. I’d been working here for quite some time, cleaning tables and stuff but I just knew that I was destined for bigger and better things… but at least I had a job, good mates and a sweet and understanding girlfriend...
Jane: (JANE walks over to JACK obviously quite irate) Where have you been? Jack: (To audience) Well, two out of three ain’t bad. (Sarcastically, imitating Jane) Happy
birthday, Jack... How did the audition go? Jane: Your birthday? I forgot. I’m so sorry. Jack: Just forget it. Jane: Well? Come on then. How did you get on at the audition? Jack: I never even got a chance to sing. I weren’t what they were looking for apparently. Jane: Oh, I’m sorry. Jack: It’s all right... I’m used to it. Jane: At least you’ve got me. I can’t believe I forgot your birthday. (Suggestively) Maybe I could make it up to you after work. Jack: I can’t. Dukes told me I’ve got to stay behind and make up the hours I’ve missed this
week. Jane: Not on your birthday? (TERRY walks over) Jack: I suppose you’ve forgotten as well? Terry: Forgotten what? Maggie: (Arguing with TOM) I don’t believe you.
(MAGGIE and TOM have been arguing. MAGGIE storms off crying. JANE sees this and follows her. TOM walks over to JACK and TERRY - he is wearing a new suit. HEATHCLIFFE makes an entrance with his girlfriend, KATHY. KATHY is wearing dark glasses. She takes a seat. HEATHCLIFFE walks over to the stage and then to the bar where he is immediately surrounded by the female members of the company)
Tom: Women? Lily: (Walking passed) Don’t look at me, love. Not my department.
9
Jack: (To TOM, referring to his new suit) Well, well, well. Look at you! Tom: Ten quid this cost me. Well it’s a special occasion, isn’t it? Jack: At last. (To TERRY) At least someone’s remembered. Tom: Remembered what? I’ve just been to pick up me new car (Tossing car keys in the air) Terry: What’s up with Maggie? How’ are things going between you an’ her? Tom: Absolutely nowhere, not so much as a peck on the cheek. Terry: (To Tom) How long have you been with her now? Tom: (Under his breath) Six years. Terry: Six years? (Laughs) Tom: Well... well...you can’t rush these things. Look, maybe I don’t want to settle down with just
one bird at the moment. Jack: Tom, women are hardly falling’ over themselves, mate! Tom: I can take my pick. Terry: All right. (Pointing to KATHY) What about her then? Jack: Come on, Tel. Give him a fighting chance. Tom: No, no, no. It’s all right. You just stand back an’ watch a ‘master’ at work.
(TOM ‘dances’ across the floor, towards KATHY. As he reaches her and is about to utter his first word, she grabs her drink and throws it over him. HEATHCLIFFE glances over)
Kathy: Get lost!
(Rejected, TOM ‘slides’ back again. Members of the company laugh and JACK hands him a cloth to dry himself with)
Terry: Well, master? Tom: (After hesitation and humiliation) Not my type.
(HEATHCLIFFE, having seen the ‘attempt’ on his girlfriend walks over to TOM. He grabs TOM by the lapels. TERRY goes back his booth)
Tom: (Smiling nervously) All right? I was… I didn’t… I just… erm... just... (Waving the
cloth as a ‘peace’ flag as HEATHCLIFFE raises his fist) Please, don’t hit my face.
(JACK thinks and acts quickly and grabbing the nearest drink from the hand of one of the girls, throws it over TOM)
Jack: Tom, wake up! Tom: What did you do that for? Jack: You were sleepwalking again. Tom: Was I? Terry: (A la DJ) Hope that you’re all having a great time - things have been really hotting up in
here tonight but they’re about to get a whole lot hotter as we welcome back on to the stage for the last time this evening, Heathcliffe and the Fallen Angels.
Heathcliffe: (To Tom) You’re bloody lucky! Tom: I’m bloody soaking!
10
Terry: (During instrumental, a la DJ) Well, it’s that time again. Time to say goodnight from me, the fabulous Terry D. But for now, guys grab yourself a girl - Girls grab yourself a guy and hop aboard that ‘lurve’ train - it’s smooch time.
TRACK 3 IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW (Heathcliffe, Kathy, Jack & Jane)……………………………….. H’cliffe/Kathy: If you leave me now, you’ll take away the biggest part of me Oh no, baby, please don’t go An’ if you leave me now, you’ll take away the very heart of me Oh no, baby, please don’t go Oh no, girl / boy, I just want you to stay H’cliffe/Jack A love like ours is love that’s hard to find All How could we let it slip away? Kathy/Jane We’ve come to far to leave it all behind All How could we end it all this way? All When tomorrow comes then we’ll both regret The things we’ve said today…. INSTRUMENTAL
(A few couples dance, notably JACK and JANE who take centre stage. During the number most of the company say goodnight and exit until all that remains are JACK, JANE, TOM, MAGGIE, TERRY and LILY, who has started cleaning away glasses etc.)
Maggie: (To JANE) I wish I had someone that could dance with me like that. Terry: (Walking out of the club) I’ll see you guys tomorrow! All: Bye... Take it easy... Later... etc. Maggie: (Upset, to TOM) How comes you never dance with me? Tom: ‘Cos I don’t want to people to see me… it’s embarrassing (a beat) So, how comes you
never want to kiss me? Maggie: Ditto.
(Maggie storms out of the club) Tom: (Following her) Mags. Hold on. (He follows) Jane: (To JACK) I better try and catch her up! I’ll pop back in half an hour and you can walk me
home. Jack: See you later. (They kiss and JANE exits) (HEATHCLIFFE enters as JACK starts putting chairs up on the tables)
11
Heathcliffe: (Holding up a guitar) Will you just look at the flame on that. (He ‘strikes a chord’) Will you just listen to that sustain. Well, it would obviously sound better if it was plugged in.
(KATHY enters having got her coat from the cloakroom, and assumes that HEATHCLIFFE is talking about her)
Heathcliffe: (To JACK) There’s nothing quite like the feeling of running your hands down that neck and
kissing that perfectly curved body. She’s a beauty all right. (Turning to see KATHY) Oh, all right, love? I didn’t see you there.
Kathy: (Getting annoyed) You love that guitar more than you love me. Heathcliffe: That’s not true… I love you both as much. (KATHY storms out) Heathcliffe: What did I say? (To JACK) So Jack, I hear you failed another audition today (He laughs) Jack: (Defensively) I just wasn’t what they were looking for, that’s all. Heathcliffe: You know what your problem is? You got no appeal. Style. That’s what counts. Jack: I got style! Heathcliffe: (Laughing to himself) You really think you’ve got what it takes to wear this coat, do you?
All right, look. Here’s what I’ll do. I need someone to set up the gear for me, do a bit of running around. Then maybe, just maybe we’ll see about letting you get up and get down with the ‘Angels’. What do you say?
(JACK doesn’t reply. TOM enters) Heathcliffe: I’m giving you a chance to break into showbiz. Listen, a wise old man once said to me,
‘Young man, there’s no need to feel down. Young man, pick yourself off the ground...’ - or was that the Village People? I’m not sure, anyway, it’s good advice, that is.
Jack: Meaning? Heathcliffe: Meaning, if you two want to get where I got, you’re gonna need to pick yourself up - take
risks Live a little. Chill! Tom: (Aside, to JACK) Chill? I’m bloody freezing. Heathcliffe: Here. (He throws his sunglasses to TOM) See what the world looks like through those.
They belonged to Jim Morrison you know. There now, you know what I’m saying (He laughs)
(TOM and HEATHCLIFFE burst out in hysterical laughter. After a while TOM stops and looks at HEATHCLIFFE blankly)
Tom: No! (TOM has placed the sunglasses on but they sit on his face slanted, as he hasn’t put
them on properly) Here, who’s this? (No response) Van Gogh on holiday! Heathcliffe: I jammed with the man, you know? Tom: Who? Van Gogh? Heathcliffe: No, Jim Morrison. Tom: You never. Heathcliffe: Yeah, me and Jim were close, man. We were even born on the same day - Tuesday.
12
Tom: What a coincidence, me too. Heathcliffe: Yeah well, listen – I’ve got to get going. (He exits taking his sunglasses back) Tom: (Calling O/S) Give my regards to Jim. Jack: (To TOM) Where did you get to? Tom: I was gonna walk Maggie home. Jack: What happened? Tom: I couldn’t keep up with the bus... so I thought I’d pop back and give you a hand. Jack: Cheers, mate!
(TOM and JACK start to clear the club, putting chairs on tables etc. TOM starts singing) Tom: (singing) I love you Maggie, I do. I love you Maggie, I do I love you Maggie, I do But you won’t kiss me, will you? Jack: Just give her time. Tom: But six years, Jack! You know there’s a lot of love in me just waiting to burst out... I just
want her to know that I love her. Jack: Have you told her? Tom: ‘Course. Jack: Well that’s where you went wrong. Tom: Is it? You mean you’ve never told your Jane? Jack: Well... yeah... no! Not exactly. I mean I wanna tell her and I know it would mean the world
to her but I just can’t get the words out. Tom: You know, I think you’re right. I told Maggie and you know what she did? She laughed at
me. Jack: Treat them mean and keep them keen. Tom: Yeah, so I’ve heard. Look, maybe I should just find someone else. Couldn’t you set me up
with someone? Jack: (Thinking) What about Debs? No, that’d never work. Tom: Why? Jack: She knows you. Maybe I could fix you up with a blind date. Tom: A blind date? I’m not sure. Jack: What’s wrong with that? Tom: Wouldn’t the white stick and the Labrador get in the way? Jack: Eh? Tom: Listen, I better get off home. My mum’ll be waiting up for me. Are you coming? Jack: No, I have stay here and finish off. Jane’s popping back in a while. Tom: I only wanna kiss. Not much to want out of life, is it?
(TOM exits singing his ‘Maggie’ song. JACK addresses the audience unaware that DUKE has just walked in behind him)
Jack: (To audience) All I ever wanted out of life was to stand up in front of a packed audience at
the Hackney Empire or The Roundhouse. It was a bit of a family tradition - headlining at the Roundhouse. All my family were in ‘the business’. Even our sewing machine was a
13
singer. I often wished that someone would come down and wave a magic wand, but I’ll tell you something my old mum used to say to me... She used to say ‘Son, be careful of what you wish for because one day that wish might just come true’. It didn’t make much sense to me either... at the time.
(JACK yawns and closes his eyes as if to sleep, head propped on the broom) Duke: Aren’t you finished yet? Jack: (With a start) You made me jump. I thought you’d gone home. Duke: I want a quiet word with you. Jack: Look, if it’s about me being late then I... Duke: Look. I couldn’t help but overhear you just now. Are you sure that’s really the path you
want to take? I mean, just look at Heathcliffe. What’s he really got? Jack: Money. Nice car. His own flat! Duke: All of it... superficial! Jack: Popularity? Duke: That’s only because of the money! Listen, son – do you mind if I call you son? Jack: Why not. My dad does! Duke: Son, you’ve got what most people only dream of. You’ve got a future and you’ve got Jane
– someone who loves you for who you are and not what you can give them. Jack: Heathcliffe’s got Kathy. Duke: She doesn’t love him. She’s only with him for what she can get out of him. Birds like that
are ten to the penny. Your Jane ‘aint like that. She reminds me of a bird I used to knock about with (Thinking to himself) Now, what was her name?
Jack: Yeah, well I better... Duke: Susie! That was it... (Reminiscing) Oh, Susie. Now those were the days. When music was
music. None of this thud, thud, thud. (Smiling to himself) The things we used to get up to? I’ll tell you something for nothing, I could have taught you youngsters a thing or two. The twist... the boogaloo... the mashed potato...
(Members of the company enter to join in the routine) TRACK 4 CROCODILE ROCK (Duke & Male Company)………………………………………………… Duke I remember when rock was young Me and Suzie had so much fun Holding hands and skimming stones Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own But the biggest kick I ever got Was doing the thing called the crocodile rock While the other kids were rocking round the clock We were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock Well, Crocodile Rockin’ is something shocking When your feet just can‘t keep still
14
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights When Suzie wore her dresses tight The Crocodile Rockin’ was out of the sight La, la, la, la, la, la etc... But the years went by and the rock just died Suzie went and left me for some foreign guy Long nights crying by the record machine Dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans But they‘ll never kill the thrills we´ve got Burning up to the Crocodile Rock Learning fast as the weeks went past We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last All Well, Crocodile Rockin’ is something shocking When your feet just can‘t keep still Duke I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will All Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights When Suzie wore her dresses tight The Crocodile Rockin’ was out of the sight La, la, la, la, la, la etc... All I remember when rock was young Me and Suzie had so much fun Holding hands and skimming stones Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own But the biggest kick I ever got Was doing the thing called the crocodile rock While the other kids were rocking round the clock We were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock Well, Crocodile Rockin’ is something shocking When your feet just can‘t keep still I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights When Suzie wore her dresses tight The Crocodile Rockin’ was out of the sight La, la, la, la, la, la etc... Duke: Yeah, those were the days all right. Jack: (Thoroughly uninterested) Very interesting. Duke: How long you been with your Jane now?
15
Jack: Six years. (To audience) We met back in December 1970. I remember it clearly because it was the same day The Fab Four split up. Everywhere you looked, girls crying over the news. Mind you, it didn’t stop me being my usual charming self.
SCENE 2 OUTSIDE THE RIALTO CINEMA, DECEMBER 1970
(A queue has formed outside the cinema. The girls in the cue are very upset about the split of The Beatles. Some of the girls are carrying records and other memorabilia. JANE stands near the front of the queue and TERRY is at the back of it, looking at his watch. JACK and TOM enter on the back of TOM’s ‘Chopper’. Some of the cast wear school uniforms, wigs, glasses etc.)
Tom: (Shouting) Terry! Terry: Where have you two been? I’ve been waiting here like a melon for half an hour. Jack: Yeah, sorry we’re late. Tom got a flat on his chopper. Tom: (To one of the girls in the queue) I’ve got a flat chopper. (Girl reacts in disgust) Jack: What’s up with everyone? Terry: Haven’t you heard? (Looking around) They split this morning. Jack: What you talking about? Terry: (Whispering) The Beatles? Tom: Eh? Terry: (A little louder) The Beatles? Tom: The who? Terry: (Shouting) Not ‘The Who’, The Beatles! (As soon as TERRY says ‘Beatles’, the girls start to sob louder) Tom: (To JACK, referring to JANE) Crickey. Have you seen that bird down there? Terry: Tom, forget it. She’s way out of our league. Jack: A quid says you’re wrong. Terry: (They shake hands) All right, you’re on. Jack: Tom, follow me. Tom: Righti-ho!
(JACK and TOM perform an elaborate series of moves, checking breath, hair etc. As they turn in time, Tom trips over. They make their way to the front of the queue. DUKE appears in the kiosk and the company pay him, collect their tickets and exit off stage)
Jack: (To TOM) Leave this one to me... I know exactly what to say... (To JANE) Hello. Jane: (Briefly turning to JACK) Hello! Tom: Poetry. Pure poetry. Jack: (To TOM) Shut up. (To JANE) So... erm... what’s your name? Tom: Tom! Jack: Not you, you berk.
16
Jane: I’m sorry, were you talking to me? Jack: (Offering his hand) I’m Jack. Jane: (Without taking it) That’s nice. Jack: (JACK tries in desperation) I don’t think I’ve seen you here before. I’m sure I’d remember
a smile like yours anywhere.
(JANE looks around at JACK, certainly not smiling. TOM produces a small notebook and starts to write down every word JACK is saying)
Tom: (To himself) ‘..here before’. ‘..Smile like yours’. Pure dynamite. Jack: (Knocking the pad from TOM’s hands. To JANE) So... erm... are you here with anyone? (MAGGIE enters and walks over to JANE) Maggie: I’ve got some more tissues. (During the next few lines, it is made obvious that TOM fancies MAGGIE) Jane: Me and Maggie are going to see ‘Love Story’. Jack: (‘Sliding’ in between the two girls and putting his arm over their shoulders) ‘Love story’? Maggie: That Ryan O’Neal - he’s gorgeous. (JANE and MAGGIE sigh, dreamily) Tom: Ryan who? Jack: Trying’ to take your minds of The Beatles? (MAGGIE bursts into tears) Jane: She’s taking it badly so try not to mention them. Maggie: I’m sorry. I’m just a little emotional at the moment. Jack: Well, well, well... ‘Love Story’? Well that’s a coincidence because so were we. (To TOM)
Weren’t we, Tom? Tom: I thought we were going to see.... (JACK treads on TOM’s foot. TOM yelps and leaps about in pain) Maggie: Are you all right? Tom: (Still hopping) ‘I feel fine’. (MAGGIE bursts into tears) What? Maggie: (Barely comprehensible) ‘I Feel Fine’... number one for The Beatles in December 1964. Tom: (To MAGGIE, sincerely) What’s wrong? Here you go, you can borrow my hanky.... ‘From
me To You’. (MAGGIE cries louder still. TOM takes her hand, which she promptly pulls away) ‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand’. Oh, please stop crying. Whatever it is, ‘We Can Work It Out’ (MAGGIE howls again)
Jack: You’re upsetting her mate. ‘Let It Be’ (MAGGIE cries) Tom: What did I do? (Taking a step away) Jack: Where do you think you’re going? Tom: ‘Nowhere Man’. (MAGGIE cries even louder than before) Jack: (To JANE) Well, do you fancy some company?
17
Jane: (Consoling MAGGIE) I don’t think so.
(JANE and MAGGIE walk toward the kiosk as they queue has now completely gone. JACK looks back at TERRY, who has been watching JACK and TOM’s feeble attempt and gestures that he has won their bet)
Duke: Can I help you? Jane: (Handing over money) Two for ‘Love Story’, please. Jack: Wait. I didn’t catch your name? Jane: I didn’t give it to you. Goodbye. Jack: Why d’you say goodbye when I said hello? Tom: Hello? Jane: Hello? Tom: I don’t why she said goodbye when you said hello. Maggie: (Almost in tears once more) Not again!
(The lights fade as JANE and MAGGIE walk into the cinema, closely followed by JACK. JACK gestures back to TERRY that he will win the bet. TOM stands for a moment with his arm out. Lily walks up and takes it, leading Tom over to Duke)
Lily: Two tickets for ‘Love Story’. SCENE 3 INSIDE THE RIALTO CINEMA
(Inside the cinema, we hear ‘Love Story’ playing. JACK, JANE and MAGGIE are sitting (in this order) MAGGIE and JANE are sitting, crying as they might during a first-class weepy. DUKE is now the usher, who stands at the back with a torch. TOM is sitting behind them next to LILY, who is crying on TOM’s shoulder. After a moment, TOM excuses himself, and JACK and TOM shuffle over to where the JANE and MAGGIE are sitting)
Tom: (To MAGGIE) Popcorn? Company: Shhh. Tom: Sorry. (They sit with the girls) Jack: (To JANE) Nothing like a good weepy is there? Tom: A ‘good weepy’? There’s no such thing. Girl: Will you keep quiet! (The guys are visibly bored and the girls are visibly moved) Jack: (After a pause. Quietly, to TOM) Tom, put your arm around her. (TOM puts his arm around JANE) Jack: No, not her!
18
(TOM slowly puts his arm around MAGGIE. She let’s out a scream. The company turn and ‘tut’ or comment. JACK stretches, and puts his arm around JANE. After a while JANE and JACK kiss. TOM sees this and ‘prepares’ to go in for a kiss from MAGGIE. MAGGIE turns around and catches him)
Maggie: Don’t even think about it. Tom: (Nudging Jack) It’s not fair. How comes I can never find anyone to snog? TRACK 5 KISSING IN THE BACK ROW (Tom & Company)…………………………………………. Tom Your momma says that all through the week You can’t go out with me But when the weekend comes along I know where I wanna be All Kissin’ in the back row of the movies on a Saturday night with you Holding hands together, you and I Holding hands together, oh yeah Smoochin’ in the back row of the movies on a Saturday night with you We could stay forever, you and I We could stay forever, you and I Huggin’ and a-kissin’ in the back row of the movies.

Tom: (Dropping MAGGIE onto the floor) Sorry! SCENE 4 BACK INSIDE THE ‘DISCO INFERNO’, JULY 1976 Jack: Heaven knows how they ever got together after that. Duke: But, you and Jane always made a great couple. And you’d be willing to throw all that away
on a dream? Jack. It’s all about taking control of your destiny; not leaving it to chance but making sure you know exactly what you’re doing, who to and who for. The Beatles. Look at them. Once the greatest band that ever lived... they split and then what happened? John went to bed, Paul did a spot of farming, George went off to save Bangladesh and Ringo, bless him, just sat on a platform and waited for Thomas The Tank engine to pull in.
(SFX. Thunder) Duke: Sounds like we’re in for a nasty spell. I’ll leave you to lock up. Remember what we’ve
talked about tonight. Jack! As I’ve said before, there’s nothing wrong with following a dream, son, just as long as you know what you could be letting yourself in for. And make sure this place is spotless before you leave. (Exits)
(JACK walks over to the DJ booth and sticks on a record. Grabbing a broom he half-heartedly sweeps the floor putting the chairs up on the tables and taking empty bottles and glasses over the bar. SFX. Thunder. At that moment, LADY MARMALADE enters. LADY MARMALADE is an attractive, well-spoken woman in her early 30’s. She is soaked from the rain)
Lady: Excuse me. Jack: Oh, look… I’m sorry but the bar’s closed.
20
Lady: I don’t want a drink. I saw the light on and just wanted to get out of the rain. You don’t mind do you?
Jack: I guess not. Lady: (Trying to get out of her wet coat) You couldn’t give me a hand, could you? (JACK reluctantly helps her with her coat) Lady: You wouldn’t believe the night I’ve had. So many men and not one of them interested in
what I had to offer. Could you ever imagine someone like me finding it hard to get a man? I mean, what’s wrong with me? (Moving in close to JACK) Are you not attracted to me?
Jack: No! I mean yeah! You’re... you’re nice.
(LADY MARMALADE walks seductively towards him as the music starts. Female members of the company enter to join in the routine)
Lady: Nice? Jack: Very nice! TRACK 7 HOT STUFF (Lady Marmalade & Girls)………………………………………………………… Lady Sitting here eating my heart out waiting Waiting for some lover to call Dialled about a thousand numbers lately Almost rang the phone off the wall Looking for some...

I’m... I’m seeing someone... I.... Lady: (Interrupting) Relax. Why so nervous, Jack? Jack: How do you know my name?
(LADY MARMALADE points to the name badge JACK is wearing) Jack: Who are you? Lady: Who I am is of little importance. Who I work for, now there is a question. But you’ll have to
promise not to tell a soul. Cross you heart and hope to die? I work for the Devil. The Horned One. Beelzebub, Lucifer - the Prince of Darkness himself. Here’s my card.
(LADY MARMALADE hands JACK a business card)
Jack: (Reading from the card. Sarcastically) Oh, yeah ‘The Devil’. Obviously! Lady: Well, one of his minion anyway... at your service.
22
Jack: I’m not being rude but won’t the men in the white coats be looking for you? Look, I’ll call you a cab. Mind you, I’m going to have trouble finding one that will go to Hades this time of night. (Weak, nervous laugh)
Lady: What a delightful wit. Maybe you should consider a career in stand-up instead of longing for one in the music industry.
Jack: How do you know that? Lady: I know everything about you. Why is it so hard to believe? Jack: All right, let’s say I believe you. Why me? Lady: I just want you to be happy. Jack: I am! Lady: Oh, please. I know every thought in your tiny little mind. I know that every night you go
home, strip down to your y-fronts, switch on your record player and sing along to your Barry Manilow vinyl’s in front of the mirror.
Jack: That isn’t true! (LADY MARMALADE glares at him) Not every night. Lady: Then you slide under your covers and wonder why you can’t be the one on that stage,
adored by women, stacks of cash, a flashy convertible... What would you think if I told you I had the power to give you all of this and much, much more? I’m talking about you taking control of your destiny. You really don’t believe me do you?
Jack: No. You don’t look anything like a devil. The horns, the little pointed tail... Lady: Please, it’s so ‘trick or treat’. (Producing a ‘contract’ from her bag. SFX Thunder) Jack: What’s that? Lady: (Handing JACK a huge contract) Just sign it, Jack. Jack: All right. Look, if I promise to look it over will you promise to go home, get some sleep and
in the morning get some help? (JACK starts looking through the contract) Lady: I wouldn’t worry about reading it. It does get very complex in places. Jack: (Reading the first page) The signer of this contract, herein referred to as ‘the damned’... Lady: (Turning the contract to the last page) You see, legal jargon. There’s nothing sinister to it -
it’s all standard stuff. It states that the devil will give you one wish to use as you see fit. Jack: All right, let’s just suppose I believe you about this whole ‘devil’ thing. What would you
want from me? Lady: Something you probably don’t even realise you have... your soul. Jack: But.. I... I’m not going to give you my soul. Lady: Who do you think you are? James Brown? Do you actually know what your soul does? Or
even what it looks like? Jack: Well, yeah... it’s a... it’s one of those... it’s kind of... well, you know... Lady: You see! You haven’t got a clue. No one has. That’s because they have no function at all -
they’re totally expendable. Jack: If it’s that useless, what do you want it for? Lady: Some collect stamps or postcards... even magazines? (Producing a magazine from her
bag)
(JACK catches sight of his photo and the headline on the front of the magazine)
23
Lady: That caught your attention didn’t it? Jack: Hey, it’s me. Lady: Not yet! It’s your destiny Jack... well one possibly destiny anyway. Jack: (Starting to think about the proposal) But it’s my soul? Lady: A small price to pay. Jack: But if you took it out wouldn’t it hurt? Lady: It’s a painless operation and after it... you won’t feel a thing! Besides, you don’t have to
pay for the wish until you’ve shuffled off this mortal coil. Then it’s no good to you anyway. (Seductively) Just sign the contract and everything you’ve ever wanted will be yours.
(After a pause, JACK signs the contract. SFX Thunder and LADY MARMALADE quickly puts it back into her bag)
Lady: Now, can you hurry it along. Jack: What? You want me to make my wish now? Lady: If you don’t mind. I’ve got places to go... people to condemn... Jack: (Thinking) Okay... erm... well I want to be famous... Lady: Always a fashionable choice. Jack: Popular and rich. How does that sound? Lady: Sounds groovy, baby. Enjoy. (LADY MARMALADE blows JACK a kiss and exits. JACK looks around. B/O) SCENE 5 TOILETS IN THE ‘DISCO INFERNO’, THE FOLLOWING EVENING
(TOM, JACK and TERRY are standing in the toilet preening themselves in an ‘imaginary’ mirror)
Jack: So that’s what happened. She walked in, I signed the contract and made a wish (They
look at JACK blankly) What? Terry: No, no, I believe you. A beautiful woman walks into the club and promises to give you
everything you ask for. Tom: That’s funny because last night, I got home and Elvis popped round for a game of
Monopoly. Jack: I’m serious. Terry: You really should start getting more sleep. So you really believe this woman do you? (TOM and TERRY laugh at JACK’s expense) Jack: We’ll just have to see won’t we? Just think of the money, the glamour. Just think of the
girls. Tom, your love life could do with a bit of a kick start. Tom: What’s that supposed to mean? I get my share. Terry: Like when? Tom: Just a few nights ago, actually.
24
Terry: (Laughing) What? With your Maggie? But, I thought you said... Tom: No, no, no. I decided to take Jack’s advice and got myself a date with the lovely Debbie. Jack: You are joking’. You and Debs? Tom: No. It’s true. It’s the car. Girls love the car. Park up. Back seat. Know what I mean? A non-
stop snogging frenzy. Jack: The only action you’ve ever seen in that car is when you got stopped for running through a
red light. Tom: A simple mistake. Jack: The red light was on the back of some poor bloke’s bike. Tom: All right. All right. So I made that bit up about me and Debs. ‘She’ asked ‘me’ out but I
turned her down flat. Jack: Give over. No girl in her right mind would get in a car with you behind the wheel. Tom: I’m a very good driver. Only last week somebody commented on my driving. They left a
little note on the windscreen that said ‘Parking Fine’. So that was nice. Jack: Look you two, I got something to talk to you about. (Producing a ring) Terry: Ah, it’s a lovely offer, mate but you’re not my type. Jack: It’s for Jane. I’m going to ask her to marry me. Terry: When? Jack: Tonight, in here. Tom: What in the bogs? Jack: No, not in the bogs! Well it’s about time isn’t it? We’ve been together six years (The guys
look amazed) Aren’t you going to wish me good luck? Tom: (Concerned) But what about your freedom? Jack: I’m going to ask her to marry me, not chain me to a rock and dump me in the Thames. Tom: But I thought you said... Jack: Never mind what I said... Terry: I’m really pleased for you mate. Look, I’ve got to get back behind the decks or Duke’s
going to go mad. (TERRY exits)
(The lights cross fade to the other side of the stage and the girls toilets. JANE and MAGGIE are preparing themselves in the mirror)
Jane: So, have you and Tom... you know? Maggie: (Butting in) We’ve talked about it. Jane: (In disbelief) Talked about it? Maggie: I just don’t want things to happen too fast. Jane: Too fast? You’ve been with for six years and you haven’t even kissed him yet. Maggie: When it happens I want it to be special. How about Jack? Has he...? Jane: No, he still hasn’t told me he loves me... Everytime, the subject comes up I think he tries
to but he just can’t get the words out. He twists and turns his face like he’s in agony, stammers for a few seconds and then quickly changes the subject. I know he loves me.. it would just be nice to hear him say it.
(The lights cross fade to the guys toilets once more. LILY enters)
25
Tom: How come all the birds fancy you? It’s always been the same, ever since we were younger. Come on, how about some tips. Tips on how to pull the birds.
Jack: You don’t need my help. I’ve seen the way girls look at you. Tom: Like who? Jack: (Looking out to the audience) There you are. How about her? Tom: (Turning to look at the audience) Who? (Quickly turning away embarrassed) She’s looking
at me! Jack: There you go you see. Now say something... romantic. Tom: (turning slowly and meaningfully, a la Barry White or The Big Bopper) Hello, baby.
(Realising) Ah, sorry mate! The lights are a bit bright. (Seeing the woman and trying again) Hello, baby. (To JACK) Here, what’s she doing in the bloke’s bogs? Jack, she’s laughing at me.
Jack: She’s laughing ‘with’ you. Tom: I’m not laughing! Jack: Must be something to do with the fact that your flies are still undone then. Tom: So how do the birds look at me? Jack: Sort of... like... (Pulling a ‘strained’ face) I’m only kidding’. Tom: It’s because I’m ugly, isn’t it? Jack: You’re not ugly. Lily: (To TOM) Don’t you worry, sweetheart. I was never a good looking kid. In fact, one might
have considered me to be an ugly duckling. And just look at what I grew into. Tom: An ugly duck. Jack: An ugly ducky. Lily: Charming! (He exits) Tom: I don’t know what it is about you. It can’t be the money, because you haven’t got any. Jack: All right, Tom. Tom: And it can’t be the car because you haven’t got one of those either. Jack: Thanks for reminding me. Tom: Sorry! Jack: Listen, mate, the best thing to do is be honest with her. You need to set the mood. A
romantic dinner for two, candlelight... that kind of thing. Tom: She’s just not that sort of girl... Jack: They’re all that sort of girl when you get them in the right mood. Tom: No, Maggie’s different... (A number of guys enter the toilet during the previous dialogue and join in with number) TRACK 7 SOME GIRLS (Tom, Jack & Male Company)………………………………………………….

(TOM exits and JACK looks at the ring he is holding. At the appropriate point in the following number the lights come up in the girls toilets and JANE joins in the song)
TRACK 8 YOU TO ME ARE EVERYTHING (Jack, Jane & Company)…………………………………. Jack I would take the stars out of the sky for you Stop the rain from falling if you asked me to I’d do anything for you, your wish is my command
27
I could move a mountain when your hand is in my hand Jane Oh, words could not express how much you mean to me There must be some other way to make you see If it takes my heart and soul you know I’d pay the price Everything that I possess I’d gladly sacrifice Both Oh, you to me are everything The sweetest song that I could sing Oh baby, oh baby To you I guess I’m just a clown who picks you up each time you’re down Oh baby, oh baby Jane You give me just a taste of love to build my hopes upon Jack You know you’ve got the power girl, to keep me holding on Both So, now you’ve got the best of me Come on and take the rest of me Oh baby, oh baby. Jack When you’re close to me we seem so far apart Maybe given time you’ll have a change of heart Jane If it takes forever boy, then I’m prepared to wait The day you say you love me won’t be a day too late
CHORUS Company Oh, you to me are everything The sweetest song that I could sing Oh baby, oh baby Oh, you to me are everything The sweetest song that I could sing Oh baby, oh baby Jack/Jane You to me are everything!
(As the song progresses, the toilets move out and JACK, on bended knee proposes to JANE)
SCENE 6 BACK INSIDE ‘DISCO INFERNO’
(LADY MARMALADE enters and walks over to DUKE, who is sitting at the bar. They shake hands and are seen to be discussing something. Occasionally DUKE looks over to JACK)
28
Jack: Jane, will you marry me? Jane: (Very happy) I don’t know what to say. Jack: Say ‘yes’ Jane: Yes. Jack: I’m going to make it one day, you know that, don’t you? Jane: I love you, Jack. Jack: Yeah, yeah... I... li....li....(He can’t get the words out) like you too... a lot.
(JACK and JANE kiss and the company react. DUKE leaves LADY MARMALADE and walks over)
Duke: Well, well, well... I guess ‘congratulations’ are in order. The drinks’ on me (Handing TOM a
drink) Here you go... pass it around. Jack, I’ve just been speaking to your manager. Jack: My what? Jane: Manager? You didn’t tell me. Duke: She seems convinced that you could be the next David Cassidy. She reckons I should
give you a chance to prove yourself. Tom: (Impressed) David Cassidy! Duke: So I thought, I’d throw caution to the wind and give you a shot. Singing, in here this Friday.
It’s Fancy Dress. Should be a good night. Tom: (Still impressed) David Cassidy, eh? Jack: What about Heathcliffe? Duke: What about him? (Changing the subject) You’ve got to start thinking about your future,
Jack. Surely it’s got to be better than cleaning tables all night? Tom: Who’s the hell’s David Cassidy? Duke: Could be just the break you’ve been looking for (to TOM) You’re mum tells me you just got
a new job and a new car... Tom: It’s a Capri! (Shakes his car keys) Duke: (to JACK) See, even a useless plank like him can make something of himself. Now do you
want the gig or don’t you? Jack: Well... yeah... yeah, of course I do. Duke: I thought as much. (Walks over to HEATHCLIFFE) Jane: (Excited) Oh, Jack.
(LADY MARMALADE walks over as DUKE approaches HEATHCLIFFE. DUKE and HEATHCLIFFE are clearly discussing something)
Lady: Well aren’t you going to introduce me? Jack: Jane, Tom, Maggie... this is my... erm... Lady: Lady Marmalade - Jack’s manager. I’ve been following Jack’s career for some time now.
Let’s just say that I’m someone very much into ‘soul’ and Jack’s got exactly what I’m looking for. (To JACK) So many auditions and so many knock backs. Everyone deserves a break.
Jack: But how did you get Duke to....
29
Lady: (Interrupting) I can be ‘very’ persuasive. Well I have to get going. My boss will be expecting me back and he’s got one hell of a temper... such a hot head. Anyway, it’s been a pleasure. I dare say I’ll see you all here next Friday for Jack’s debut performance. Ciao.
Tom: (Mesmerised) Ciao. (LADY MARMALADE kisses JACK and exits. MAGGIE slaps TOM out of his trance) Heathcliffe: (Shouting) You what? (The music stops and the company freeze all looking towards HEATHCLIFFE) Duke: It’s just for one night. Heathcliffe: Now you listen to me... Duke: No, you listen to me. (B/O) SCENE 7 IN AN ALLEY BEHIND ‘DISCO INFERNO’ (HEATHCLIFFE paces backwards and forwards with KATHY standing close behind) Heathcliffe: Who does he think is? Whose face appears on that billboard? Kathy: (Clearly uninterested) Yours! Heathcliffe: That’s right. Mine! My face... not the face of some jumped up glass cleaner. What does
Duke think he’s playing at? (No reply) What’s he got that I haven’t? Kathy: Hair? Heathcliffe: You what? Don’t you joke about my hair. Kathy: I don’t know why you’re so bothered about this place. You should be setting your sights
higher. Heathcliffe: I am. But you’ve got to have something to fall back on. This is my steady until I hit the big
time. Look, we get by just fine. Kathy: I don’t want to just ‘get by’. I want to be showered in jewels and wrapped in silks and satin.
These days I’m lucky if I’m wrapped in polyester. Heathcliffe: It’s not all about the money. Kathy: I’m only saying that it’d be nice if you treated me once in a while. Heathcliffe: Took you out for dinner the other night, didn’t I? Kathy: The Mermaid? Heathcliffe: It’s a very respectable chip shop, that is! Kathy: (Sarcastically) How romantic! Heathcliffe: That’s all you ever go on about... money. If you’re that bothered about it, why don’t you get
out there and earn some of your own? What am I thinking? You can’t do anything, can you?
Kathy: (Upset) Heathcliffe, please. Heathcliffe: You just remember who was that found you on the seats and pulled you out of the gutter. I
could quite easily throw you back in it again (He exits)

TRACK 9 STREETLIFE (Kathy)……………………………………………………………………………… Kathy I play the... Street life, because there’s no place I can go Street life, it’s the only life I know Street life, there’s a thousand parts to play Street life, until you play your life away You let the people see, just who you wanna be An’ ev’ry night you shine just like a superstar That’s how life is played, a ten cent masquerade You dress, you walk, you talk, you’re who you think you are Street life, you can run away from time Street life, for a nickel or a dime Street life, but you better not get old Street life, or you’re gonna feel the cold There’s always love for sale, a grown-up fairy tale Prince Charming always smiles behind a silver spoon And if you keep it young, your song is always sung Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon Street life, street life Street life, oh, street life I play the street life because there’s no place I can go Oh, oh... I play the Streetlife. Heathcliffe: (O/S) Are you coming or what? SCENE 8 OUTSIDE ‘DISCO INFERNO’, THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY
(Outside the club, JANE is waiting for JACK, in fancy dress. Members of the company, also in fancy dress, walk passed and into the club. DUKE is collecting tickets and looking on)
Jack: (Kissing JANE) You all right? Sorry I haven’t been about much this week. I’ve been so
busy. Lady Marmalade’s got me rehearsing all hours of the day. She’s persuaded the manager of The Roundhouse to come along to the gig tonight. Just think of all the greats that have performed at The Roundhouse... T-Rex, the Rolling Stones Farewell Tour, March 14th ‘71... Pete Townsend April 12th ‘74, Led Zeppelin...
Jane: Everything seems to be working out for you at last.
31
Jack: For us. Jane: You did remember that we’re going out with my parents tonight, after the gig! Jack: Oh no, I can’t tonight. I promised I’d grab something to eat with Lady Marmalade, she’s
got some plans that she wanted to run past me. Jane: But the tables’ been booked for months. Jack: You can’t expect someone like her to make plans a month in advance. We can have
dinner with your parents another night. Jane: Another night? Jack, you promised. Jack: Look, I’ve been waiting for this chance all my life. I’d expect you of all people to be a little
bit more understanding. You coming inside? (He exits and she follows slightly behind) SCENE 9 FANCY DRESS NIGHT INSIDE ‘DISCO INFERNO’ (The club is in full swing and the company dance to the music played) Terry: (A la DJ) Yes, it’s me, the fabulous, phenomenal Terry D. It’s Friday night and fancy dress
at Disco Inferno. The joint’s already jumping’ here tonight and it looks like it’s going to be a night to remember.
(JACK is being pampered by LADY MARMALADE. HEATHCLIFFE is sitting at the bar, glass in hand)
Lady: Right. This is your big night. Are you all right? Jack: (unconvincingly) I’m fine. Lady: This is what you wanted. What you’ve dreamed about your whole life. You’ll be fine. Heathcliffe: (To JACK) I want a word with you. Don’t get any ideas, right? Just you remember whose
name appears on that billboard outside. Do you understand me? Duke: Now you better put on a good show tonight. I’m counting on you. Heathcliffe: (Sarcastically, to JACK) I can hardly wait! (TOM, JANE and MAGGIE enter) Tom: Jack? You all right? Jack: Maybe I should just tell Duke that I’m not up for it. Lady: Come on, what’s wrong? This is the break you’ve been waiting for. Jack: Ever since I could remember, my dad’s always wanted me to make a go of it, but.. Tom: (Interrupting) That’s funny because my dad had my career picked out for me too…
(TOM starts the next number but it is stopped by the guys who realise that they are one short. A member from the audience is invited up on stage, at the discretion of the director, given a costume and encouraged to join in the routine)

shown to their seat) And you should know better at your age! (To JACK) Don’t let me down.
Jane: (To JACK) Good luck. (Kissing JACK) Terry: (A la DJ) It’s a very special evening this evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, we have
a young man and a very good friend of mine, making his debut performance at ‘Disco Inferno’. So Jack ... (Cheers from the company) ... don’t forget who your friends are when you’re rich and famous. Ladies and Gentlemen, remember where you saw him first as we welcome onto the stage Jack and the Fallen Angels...
(The company applauds and JACK nervously makes his way onto the stage. HEATHCLIFFE claps sarcastically. During the following number it is clear the JACK is nervous but after a verse or two the nerves are soon gone and JACK is a huge success)

(The company cheer. One of the girls leaps forward, throws her arm around JACK’s neck and kisses him)
Tom: So that’s how you pull the birds.
(MAGGIE and JANE take it in turns to slap TOM. JACK is a success. Encouraged by LADY MARMALADE and other members of the company, the audience start chanting for ‘Jack’. This annoys HEATHCLIFFE. He knocks his chair over to the floor and storms over to JACK, grabbing the microphone from him and advances menacingly on the audience)

TRACK 12 LEADER OF THE GANG (Heathcliffe)………………………………………………………….. Heathcliffe Come on, come on. Come on, come on Come on, come on, come on (x2) I said... Come on, come on.

Heathcliffe: (Advancing toward JACK) So, you’re the proper little superstar now aren’t you? Well we’ll
see how much they like you when I’ve rearranged your face.
(HEATHCLIFFE is about to hit JACK as DUKE walks in. The company react)
Duke: All right, that’s enough. I’ll have no fighting in my club. Heathcliffe: (To JACK) Believe me, you haven’t heard the last of this. (He exits) Kathy! (She follows) Duke: You did well tonight. After what I’ve just seen, I might consider looking for a new act, to
replace Heathcliffe - a more permanent position - if you’re interested. Give it some thought. (Turning to go) Oh, I almost forgot. The manager of The Roundhouse... fortunately for you, had to shoot off. I’m not sure he’d have been as impressed if he’d have seen that little escapade. Anyway, he left this for you.
(DUKE hands JACK a piece of paper)
36
Jane: Well? What does it say? Tom: Come on, mate. Jack: (Excitedly reading) Apparently tomorrow nights act have pulled out and they need
someone to step in. They want to know if I’d be interested...
(JACK is extremely happy. He passes JANE, much to her upset and throws his arms around LADY MARMALADE)
Lady: You see, the big guy upstairs is not the only one that can perform miracles. Jane: Jack… ? Jack: I’m going to be singing at The Roundhouse, tomorrow night. Lady: And we’ve got a lot to do before then. We really must do something about your image. Jack: What’s wrong with it? Lady: Nothing that a good friend of mine can’t put right... I’ve already got us an appointment in
the morning. Jane: Jack, please. It’s really important. Lady: (To JANE) And it will have to wait. Jack doesn’t need any distractions right now. Jane: But I... (LADY MARMALADE hurries JACK off stage) I love you. (B/O) SCENE 10 DIABLO RECORDS, CARNABY STREET, THE NEXT MORNING
(JACK is ushered by LADY MARMALADE into a swanky office. An over-the-top, camp and overtly glamorous, record exec, NICK DIABLO, is ordering his various secretary’s, P.A.’s and junior executives to do various things whilst on two telephones)
Nick: (Seeing LADY MARMALADE) Lady, sweetie, darling. (Kissing her on both cheeks) Lady: Nicky baby, there’s someone I want you to meet.
(LADY MARMALADE ushers JACK forward. He holds out his hand to NICK, who doesn’t take it but looks him up and down)
Nick: We meet at last, Jack. Lady Marmalade’s told me so much about you. She tells me that
you have raw talent. Play your cards right and we could be talking photo shoots with Time, Lunch with glamour girls. Take any amount of money you’ve ever earned and add four zero’s. (Walking JACK over to a wall of photographs) Look at these photo’s Jack, all individual stars in their own right, the Bay City Rollers, David Bowie, Alice Cooper, David Soul... a stage name I’m particularly proud of.
Jack: (Pointing to a picture) Isn’t that Rolf Harris? Nick: Well, everyone’s entitled to make one mistake, dear. So, you’re playing at the
Roundhouse this evening are you? Yes, of course you are. Lady: What do you think? Nick: A bit rough around the edges. Jack: What’s that supposed to mean? Nick: But I’m sure he’ll scrub up nicely. There’s nothing like a blank canvass to work on.
37
Jack: (Defensively) Watch it. Lady: Look, Jack, when it comes to the music business, style and image are everything. You
won’t find a better person to ask for advice. Nick: It’s true. I put the ‘pop’ in pop music, baby!
(During the following number, JACK is redressed and restyled by the execs, hairdressers, tailors etc. under the supervision of NICK and LADY MARMALADE)

(The PHOTOGRAPHER enters) Photographer: Ready for your close up, Mr Diablo? Nick: (Posing for a photograph with JACK) Something that simply dazzles, darling. (The PHOTOGRAPHER takes the photograph) Nick: That’s it! Jack: That’s what? Nick: Flash Jack! (One of the executives whispers in his ear) Better still... I’m a genius (On the
intercom) Pandora, darling. Alert the media. I want the world to say hello to the new star... Jumping Jack Flash.
SCENE 11 DRESSING ROOM AT THE ROUNDHOUSE, later that evening
(As the lights come up, JACK is standing in his dressing room, signing autographs for other girls in the company. KATHY enters DS and watches for a while. KATHY gestures to girls to leave them alone and they exit)
Jack: Kathy? What are you doing back here? Kathy: (Seductively) I just came to wish you good. Jack: That’s sweet. Kathy: Heathcliffe’s worried, you know? Jack: Look, I really have to finish getting ready. Kathy: I just wanted to warn you. Jack: Warn me?
40
Kathy: About Heathcliffe. You don’t know him as well as I do. He’s got a temper and right now, he’s not very happy. You’ve stolen his limelight, his gig. But then let’s face it, you’ve got something he hasn’t got.
Jack: What’s that? Kathy: Me! (JACK stands up and pulls away) Jack: I don’t think this is such a good idea. Kathy: You need someone who understands the needs of a star and that’s where I come in. (KATHY goes in for the kiss) Jack: (Jumping to his feet) No, really I... I’m expecting Jane any moment now. Kathy: Relax, I’ve already seen her sitting in the front row with the others. You must know that I
don’t come on to just anyone. I’ve been waiting my whole life for the right guy to come along.
Jack: And I’m the right guy? Kathy: No, I’m just sick of waiting. (JACK doesn’t look impressed) That was a joke. Just relax. (KATHY moves in much closer still when they hear an intercom announcement) Announcer: (O/S) Jack Flash to the stage, please. Jack Flash to the stage. Jack: I’ve got to go! (Stands promptly and runs to the exit) Kathy: Good luck. I’ll be right here waiting for you. (Blows him a kiss. B/O) SCENE 12 ON STAGE AT THE ROUNDHOUSE
(During the B/O the curtain is dropped and the following dialogue takes place in front of it) Compare: (A la compare, to audience) Well, hello there. How’s everyone doing this evening? Are
you all having’ a good time? (Await audience response) Oh come on. Are you all having a good time? (Await audience response) That’s a little more like it. Good. And have we got a great show for you tonight, a monster show. That’s right. So ladies and gentlemen, guys and girls, please put your hands together and give a nice warm, Roundhouse welcome to the rockin’ rebel himself, the one, the only Jack Flash.
(The curtain rises and JACK stands on stage in all his splendour. Seeing the audience for the first time, he panics and goes to run off stage. He is pushed back on by the compare. Music starts)

DISCO INFERNO ABRIDGED EDITION
ACT TWO
TRACK 15 ENTR’ACTE / RADIO MONTAGE (Instrumental)……………………………………………...
(During the entr’acte, we hear several o/s announcements and reviews reporting on the success of the new pop sensation. These could be tailored at the discretion of the director, adding more local references)
Announcer 1: (A la Tony Blackburn) So mark that date, Saturday November 5th. Just look for the BBC
Radio 1 hit caravan and me. I got an exciting guest on my show today. Recently released his first album on the Diablo label and currently leaping up the UK chart. Of course I’m talking about the new and ever popular pop sensation, Jumping’ Jack Flash.
Announcer 2: .. and the award for Best Newcomer this year goes to a man, just twenty-one and so much
talent, a legend in his own lifetime... This years New Musical Express poll winner is Jumping’ Jack Flash (SFX Applause)
Announcer 3: You’re listening to Radio 1’s Friday Rock Show with me, Tommy Vance spinning all those
tunes you wanna hear. We’ll kick off this evening with this weeks most requested track from the new singing sensation that is... Jack Flash.
Announcer 4: (A la Noel Edmonds in ‘Juke Box Jury’) And that’s... (SFX Two bells rings) ... a hit for
newcomer Jack Flash. Announcer 5: (a la Kermit the Frog) It’s the Muppet Show, with out very special guest star, Jack Flash. SCENE 1 TOP OF THE POPS STUDIO, OCTOBER 1976
(As the lights come up we find ourselves in the Top of the Pops studio in October 1976, a scene complete with cameras, lights, screaming teens, Pan’s People and a presenter who bares a remarkable resemblance to Jimmy Saville, who is having his face powdered by a glamorous studio employee. There is much excitement. JACK is standing beside LADY MARMALADE with TOM standing beside in awe)
Producer: We have clearance. Going live in five... four... three... (He mime’s ‘two and one’)
44
TRACK 16 TV THEME (Instrumental)…………………………………...
(As the music starts the teens scream. Two or three of them smiling at the camera standing around the PRESENTER)
Jimmy: Now then, now then... what have we got here? Welcome to another Top of The Pops. And
what a special show we have lined up for you tonight with none other, none other than The Rubettes (Teens cheer), Leo Sayer (Teens cheer) The Brotherhood of Man (Teens cheer) Jack Flash... (Teens cheer louder than ever) and our special guests - two years on from winning the Eurovision Song Contest - the glittering Swedish sensation, Abba.
(The teens cheer as ‘ABBA’ enter and stand behind JACK and TOM) Tom: (very excited) And there they are… (tugging on Jacks sleeve) There they are Jack: What? Tom: Abba… look. I can’t believe it. Abba… did you know that that’s a palindrome, that is. Jack: What are you on about? Tom: I’ve got to say hello. I know a bit of Swedish. (Turning to ABBA and in a very bad Swedish
accent) Hello, how are you?
(Without hesitation, one of the guys from ABBA hits TOM. NB Tom now wears a plaster on his nose until Scene 9 Act 2. ABBA exit)
Tom: (Holding his nose) Ouch! I think he broke my nose. Jack: Don’t worry, Jim’ll fix it! (JACK and LADY MARMALADE laugh) Jimmy: Now then, now then. Have we got a treat to kick off tonight’s show? Lady: (To Jack) Knock ‘em dead. Jimmy: Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls. A star that shines brighter than my jewellery...
jingle, jangle.. Jewellery, jewellery... Yes, that’s right... Jumping’ Jack Flash. (Teens cheer) (JACK runs up onto the stage and the teens go wild) TRACK 17 STARMAN (Jack & Company)…… …………………… Jack Didn't know what time it was the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said Then the loud sound did seem to fade Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds
45
There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie I had to phone someone so I picked on you Hey, that's far out so you heard him too Switch on the T.V. we may pick him up on channel two Look out your window I can see his light If we can sparkle he may land tonight Don't tell your pappa or he'll get us locked up in fright There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie Starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la etc.
(The song finishes and the crowd surrounds JACK. JANE walks on DSR. The stage lights change. The crowds are wearing ‘Jack Flash’ T-shirts, carrying records, banners, photographs etc. Two security guards usher JACK off stage with the crowd following close behind. One of the girls from the crowd grabs JACK and kisses him. JANE tries to call to him but can’t be heard over the crowd. JANE is left alone on stage. She walks over and picks up a T-shirt left on the floor and holds it up to her chest almost in tears)
46
TRACK 18 FIGARO (Jane & Company)……………………………………………………………………… Jane Ev’ry morning when sun is dawning You’ll see him down on the beach Look out girl, beware, better take good care Keep yourself out of reach He’s out to make a killing girl He’s out to make a score And maybe If you’re willing girl He’s gonna ask for more Company Oh, oh Figaro - he’s got magico, oh Oh, oh Figaro - he’s a Romeo, oh See him down on the beach He’ll be looking for someone new Searching down on the beach Figaro, Figaro.

(At the end of the number TERRY walks on stage, closely followed by LADY MARMALADE, but unobserved by JANE)
47
Lady: She looks really nice tonight, doesn’t she? Terry: (Taken by surprise) Oh! Hi... erm... yeah, yeah she does. (B/O) SCENE 2 INSIDE ‘DISCO INFERNO’, TWO WEEKS LATER
(The club is once again in full swing. HEATHCLIFFE is now cleaning the floors. DUKE is standing around impatiently looking at his watch and many members of the company stand around waiting for JACK. After a while they start chanting, ‘Jack. Jack’)
Duke: Where is he? Jane: I wish I knew. I’ve hardly seen him in two weeks. Duke: He promised me he’d be here to judge the Dance Competition tonight. I’ve got the press
over there waiting and everything. If he doesn’t turn up how’s that going to make me look? (TOM enters dancing, trying to count his steps) Jane: (To DUKE) Maybe Tom’s seen him. (To TOM) Tom? Tom: Don’t talk, don’t talk. I’m counting. (Losing his count) Practising. Duke: Practising what? Tom: Dancing. Maggie’s been on at me for ages about how much she wants to dance with me...
so I decided to pop down to the library and get myself a book out. (He does a ‘move’) What do you think? Self taught... not a single lesson. You know, I think we’ve got a pretty good chance of winning tonight.
(DUKE laughs to himself and exits) Jane: You seen Jack? Tom: Not for a while. Still, you know how busy he’s been. (MAGGIE enters) Tom: Hello, Mags. (Suavely) So do you fancy entering the competition? Maggie: With who? Tom: With me. I’ve been practising (He ‘struts his stuff’ across the floor) This is it. I was born to
boogie. Maggie: Typical. Lost in music! TRACK 19 I LOVE TO LOVE (Maggie & Company)……………………………………………………….. Maggie Oh, I love to love, but my baby just loves to dance He wants to dance, he loves to dance, he’s got to dance Oh (I love to love), but my baby just loves to dance Oh, (I love to love), but there’s no time for our romance
48
No, no, no, no Oh (I love to love), but my baby just loves to dance The minute (Minute) the band begins to swing it (Swing it) He’s on his feet to dig it (dig it) And dance the night away. Stop! (Stop, stop) I’m spinnin’ like a top (Top, top) We’ll dance until we drop (Drop, drop) But if I have my way Oh, I love to love, but my baby just loves to dance He wants to dance, he loves to dance, he’s got to dance Oh (I love to love), but my baby just loves to dance Oh, I love to love, but there’s no time for our romance No, no, no, no Oh (I love to love), but my baby just loves to dance Stop!

(At the end of the number there is huge excitement as JACK walks in. The girls in the club surround him, trying to get his autograph and possibly even a photograph of them with him as they once did with HEATHCLIFFE. HEATHCLIFFE looks on)
Jack: Excuse me girls (They walk away. Calling to TOM) Tom! Tom: Where have you been? Jack: Look, mate. I’ve got a problem. Tom: You’re going to have if you don’t get over there and talk to Jane. Jack: It’s Kathy! (Handing him a piece of paper) Tom: You’ve called a piece of paper Kathy? You really ‘do’ have a problem, mate. Jack: No it’s a letter from Kathy, you idiot! Tom: Oh. (Reading aloud) Dear Jack, I haven’t stopped thinking about you since last week... Jack: What am I going to do? Tom: I take it we are talking about Heathcliffe’s girlfriend, Kathy? Jack: Yes, Heathcliffe’s girlfriend, Kathy. Tom: You lucky bugger?
49
Jack: Tom! Tom: Look, I’d get rid of that letter if I were you. If Heathcliffe finds out you’ve been seeing his
girlfriend... Jack: (Interrupting) I am not seeing his girlfriend. Tom: I’d keep your voice down if I was you and make another one of those wishes of yours (JANE and MAGGIE walk over. JANE doesn’t look very impressed) Jane: Where have you been? Maggie: Yeah, where have you been? Jack: Well, I’ve been working haven’t I? Jane: Why didn’t you call? Maggie: You could have called. Jane: (To MAGGIE) Do you mind? (DUKE walks over to MAGGIE and TOM and signs them into the competition) Jack: You know how busy I’ve been. Jane: Too busy to pick up the phone? (Before JACK can stop her, JANE takes the letter from his hand and reads it) Jack: Jane, it isn’t how it looks. Jane: Now I know why you’ve been so ‘busy’ Jack: Jane, listen.... Jane: It’s no wonder you never could tell me that you loved me... is it?
(JANE screws up the letter and throws it at JACK. She runs off stage. JACK goes to follow but is stopped by DUKE)
Duke: (To Jack) You took your time didn’t you? Terry: (A la DJ) It’s that time again, Saturday night at Disco Inferno... put on those flares and sort
out your pairs. Grab your favourite girl and get down. Maggie: Jack, where did Jane go? Terry: (A la DJ) The Disco Fever at the club’s contagious tonight... it’s the Disco Inferno Dance
Competition and a chance tonight of walking away with some great prizes. Tom: Tonight’s the night, baby. Are you ready? Terry: (A la DJ) So, come on. Get ready to hit that floor and burn, baby, burn ‘cos we all love to
boogie. But Jack, be careful. You can’t boogie if your legs are broken. Here’s a reminder to keep those feet moving or else someone will pinch your shoes.

(Towards the end of the number, TOM and MAGGIE start accidentally injuring the other competitors; TOM treads on the foot of one, MAGGIE swings her arm out and takes out another etc. until all that remain are TOM and MAGGIE)
Duke: (DUKE looks confused as he sees there are no other competitors left on stage but holds
TOM’s arm in the air) Tom and Maggie?
53
(As the lights fade, TOM leans in to kiss MAGGIE but unknowingly, she raises the trophy which TOM kisses instead. B/O)
SCENE 3 INSIDE ‘DISCO INFERNO’, LATER THAT EVENING (JACK is alone packing up his equipment as KATHY enters.) Kathy: You don’t look too happy. Jack: (With a start) Oh, Kathy! It’s you. Kathy: You sound tense. Why don’t you come over here and sit down. (He does so) I heard what
happened tonight. I feel so bad.... Jack: Good news really travels fast. Kathy: ...and I’m sorry. Jack: Don’t worry about it. Kathy: I never meant for that to happen. Jack: It’s not your fault. Kathy: I do like you, you know. Jack: Yeah, yeah. I like you too. Kathy: I could be good for you... help you take your mind off Jane. You know that from the first
moment I saw you I’ve thought about nothing else. (JACK and KATHY embrace but after a moment JACK pulls away) Jack: I can’t. You’re a great girl but I’m engaged to Jane - at least I think I still am - and you’re
with Heathcliffe. If he finds us here there’s no telling what he’s going to do. Kathy: I don’t care. Jack: You might not... Kathy: I’ve led a terrible life and when I met Heathcliffe I thought it was all going to change. I
should’ve known better. He’s just like every other man I’d ever met until now. Jack: Why don’t you just talk to him. Kathy: What’s the use? Jack: Tell him how you feel. Kathy: Last time I tried it wasn’t just my heart he broke.
(KATHY cries and JACK puts his arms around her just as JANE walks in) Jack: (Seeing JANE) Jane? Jane: I just come to apologise about running off the way I did. Tom told me there was nothing
going on between you two and like an idiot I believed him. Jack: There isn’t. I mean, there wasn’t... I... Kathy: I really should go. (She exits passed JANE, who stands in the doorway) Jane: (Crying) I knew this would happen. Now I know why I haven’t seen you for weeks. Jack: She was just upset.
54
Jane: And you happened to be there to console her? Do you think I was born yesterday? What’s happened to you? What has happened to us, Jack? (She turns to go) Jack: You’ve got it all wrong. Jane: The only thing I ever got wrong was agreeing to marry you (taking off the ring and
throwing it at JACK) I’m sure it’d fit better on Kathy’s finger. TRACK 21 I WILL SURVIVE (Jane)…………………………………………………………………………… Jane At first I was afraid, I was petrified; Kept thinking’ I could never live without you by my side. But then, I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong... And I learned how to get along And so you’re back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key If I’d have known for just one second you’d be back to bother me Go on now go, walk out the door, Just turn around now, ‘cause you’re not welcome any more. Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye? Did I crumble, did you think I’d lay down & die Oh no, not I, I will survive For as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive I’ve got all my life to live, I’ve got all my love to give And I’ll survive, I will survive… hey, hey INSTRUMENTAL It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Kept tryin’ hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent, oh, so many nights just feelin’ sorry for myself I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high And you see me, somebody new I’m not that chained up little person still in love with you And so you felt like droppin’ in and just expect me to be free Well now, I’m savin’ all my lovin’ for someone who’s lovin’ me Go on now go, walk out the door Just turn around now, ‘cause you’re not welcome anymore Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye? Did I crumble, did you think I’d lay down & die Oh no, not I, I will survive For as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive I’ve got all my life to live, I’ve got all my love to give
55
And I’ll survive, I will survive I will survive SCENE 4 INSIDE JANE’S HOUSE, LATER THAT EVENING
(JANE is sitting on the sofa still crying. TOM, MAGGIE and TERRY are sitting with her) Maggie: You sit there and I’ll make us all a cup of tea. Tom: I’ll give you a hand. (TERRY moves in next to JANE) Jane: What went wrong, Tel? We used to be so happy (She cries) All I ever wanted was to settle
and maybe have a family one day. Terry: And you will... you’re going to meet someone else - someone who cares a lot more about
you than Jack. I know this is hard but you’re not alone. We’re all here for you. (He takes her hand)
(SFX Knock at the door) Jack: (O/S) Jane! Jane! We need to talk. Jane: (To Terry) I don’t want to see him. Terry: Don’t worry, I’ll get rid of him. Jack: (O/S) What are you doing here? Look, get out of my way. I want to talk to her.
(JANE is getting upset by the offstage argument and covers her ears. JACK enters followed by TERRY)
Jack: Jane, we’ve got to talk. Jane: Leave me alone, Jack. (TOM and MAGGIE enter) Jane: (Angry and upset) Please go, Jack. Jack: At least give me a chance to explain. Terry: Leave it, mate! Jack: This has got nothing to do with you... mate. I just want a moment alone with Jane. Maggie: Jane? Jane: Don’t go anywhere. Jack: (Calmly and meaningfully) Jane.... I love you. I’ve always loved you. Just took my time
saying it that’s all. Jane: (After deliberate hesitation) It’s too late, Jack. It’s too late. You been so preoccupied with
everything else... Jack: You know just how hard I’ve been working - for our future - together.
56
Jane: Is that what you were doing with Kathy? Well that certainly clears that up. Jack: It wasn’t like that and you know it? Jane: I know what I saw. Jack: I’m always the one in the wrong, aren’t I? Jane: Oh, so it’s my fault now is it? I can’t believe I’m hearing this. I’m not the one who played
around. It wouldn’t be so bad if... just for once... you could admit that you made a mistake. But, oh no, not you!
Jack: It’s not my fault. Jane: It never is. Just, leave me alone. Jack: We can’t just throw away the past six years. You said we’d always be together. Jane: That was before. Jack please go. You’re only making things worse. Jack: (Shouting) Making things worse? How could they possibly get any worse? Jane: (Calmly) Just listen to me. It’s over. Now, please, just go away.
(Dejected, JACK steps forward into a spot)
TRACK 22 SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD (Jack & Company)………………………. Jack What have I got to do to make you love me? What have gotta do to make you care? What do I do when lightnin’ strikes me An’ I wake to find you’re not there? What have I gotta do to make you want me? What have I gotta do to be heard? What do I say now it’s all over? An’ sorry seems to be the hardest word It’s sad (so sad) so sad It’s a sad, sad situation And it’s getting more and more absurd It’s sad (so sad) so sad Why can’t we talk it over? Always seems to me that sorry seems to be the hardest word INSTRUMENTAL It’s sad (so sad) so sad It’s a sad, sad situation And it’s getting more and more absurd It’s sad (so sad) so sad Why can’t we talk it over? Always seems to me that sorry seems to be the hardest word What have I got to do to make you love me? What have gotta do to make you care?
57
What do I do when lightnin’ strikes me What have I gotta do? What have I gotta do? Sorry seems to be the hardest word
(At the end of the number, TOM walks over to JACK and puts his hand on JACK’s shoulder. B/O)
SCENE 5 OUTSIDE ‘DISCO INFERNO’, AUGUST 1977
(KATHY is standing outside the club. After a moment, HEATHCLIFFE carries a bin liner out and places it in the metal trash can. They catch sight of each other and stare for a while)
Heathcliffe: What’s this I’ve been hearing about you and Jack? Kathy: It doesn’t matter Heathcliffe: (Getting annoyed) Doesn’t matter? Do you know how stupid you’ve made me look? Kathy: No more than usual. Heathcliffe: Don’t push your luck. Kathy: It’s over between us Heathcliffe. Heathcliffe: (Calming) Look, I understand why you went to Jack. I mean, I know why you did it. I’ve
said and done some pretty bad things to you but I can change. Everyone deserves a second chance.
Kathy: As if I haven’t heard that before. Heathcliffe: I mean it this time. Kathy: Just look at you. Heathcliffe: Come on. I’ll get another singing job. It’ll be just like the old days. You and me against the
world. Kathy: Goodbye Heathcliffe. Heathcliffe: Kathy, you’re nothing without me. I made you what you are. Kathy: Depressed, lonely.... Heathcliffe: Then why did you hang around so long? Kathy: I loved you. Or at least I thought I did. That was until I found out what you really are. Heathcliffe: And what would that be? What’s the point? I try and welcome you back with open arms... Kathy: Surely a clenched fist is more your style. I don’t need you. I never did. Jack was right
about you. Heathcliffe: Jack! That’s all I ever hear now... ‘Jack’ this and ‘Jack’ that.... Kathy: He’s more of a man that you’ll ever be. Heathcliffe: You’re not worth it. I’ve got bigger fish to fry; or should I say batter (He exits. B/O)
58
SCENE 6 OUTSIDE DISCO INFERNO, FOUR WEEKS LATER
(JACK walks on stage and straight over to the trash can. He is carrying a small transistor radio)
Jack: (To audience) Almost four weeks had passed. Despite the success I was so miserable. I
just couldn’t stop thinking about Jane. It was true. I really did love her. I tried everything. I phoned her. Sent her flowers, chocolates... you know all the romantic stuff... don’t tell anyone but I even serenaded her outside her window. She could have just thrown the water... but no, down came the whole kettle. Then I wrote in to one of those romantic radio shows... well desperate times call for desperate measures (Turns on the radio)
Radio: (O/S) You’re tuned in to Radio 1’s Daryl Horner and ‘Troubles From the Heart’. We’re going to kick off the programme tonight with a letter from a young man, hopelessly in love with a girl, let’s call her Jane.
Jack: (Aside) Well that’s her name, isn’t it? Radio: A whirlwind romance that started almost seven years ago when the couple met outside
the Rialto Cinema. Now, like most good things, that romance has sadly, come to an end, but not for Jack. Jack still thinks about Jane all the time and it sounds to me like he’s sorry, sorry for being an egotistical, self-centred, arrogant loser.
Jack: (Aside) I never bloody wrote that! Radio: So, Jane, if you’re listening, pick up the phone and give him a call but not until we play this
dedication to you. Unfortunately, something’s been spilt on the letter and the bottom part is hard to read, but I think I can just make this out. So, here, Jane especially from Jack to you, The Wurzles and ‘I’ve Got a Brand New Combine Harvester’
(We hear the beginning of ‘Combine Harvester’. After a moment, JANE walks on from the opposite side of the stage)
Jane: Jack! Jack: How have you been? Jane: Fine, I guess. Jack: You didn’t return any of my calls. Jane: Did you honestly expect me too? Jack: Don’t be like that. Look, we had something special. We had some good times, didn’t we? Jane: Until you started putting everything and everyone before me. (Almost in tears) You
ignored me Jack. Jack: I can make it up to you, I promise. TRACK 23 DON’T GIVE UP ON US BABY (Jack & Jane)………………………………………………… Jack Don’t give up on us, baby Don’t make the wrong seem right The future isn’t just one night It’s written in the moonlight An’ painted on the stars
59
We can’t change ours Don’t give up on us, baby We’re still worth one more try I know we’ve put a last one by Just for a rainy evening When maybe stars are few Don’t give up on us, I know We can still come through Jane You know you broke my heart in two Jack You’ve got the right to stop believing But I’m sure there’s a little love left, even so Both Don’t give up on us baby Jane Lord knows we came this far Jack So, can’t we stay the way that we are? The angel an’ the dreamer Jane Who sometimes plays the fool Both Don’t give up on us maybe We could still come through Both Don’t give up on us baby Jane We’ve had our ups and downs Jack But we’ve a love that knows no bounds Jane A feeling deep inside of me Jack: A love you know is true Both Don’t give up on us maybe We could still come through INSTRUMENTAL
(JANE and JACK seem as though they are going to get back together, almost kissing at the last note. JANE pulls away)
Jane: (Spoken, during instrumental) It’s too late. Jack: It’s never too late. (TERRY walks in and kisses JANE) Terry: Jack? Jane: I didn’t want you to find out like this. Jack: Oh, no. But... but... you’re supposed to my mate. Jane: Jack, we’re happy. Look, you were going to find out sooner or later - Terry and me are
engaged. Jack: You didn’t waste anytime, did you?
60
Jane: It’s not like that. I want you to be happy for us, Jack. Jack: (Unconvincingly) Ecstatic... now leave me alone.
(TERRY and JANE walk off hand in hand, leaving JACK in the street to finish the number alone)
Jack (Singing) Don’t give up on us baby We’ve had our ups and downs But we’ve a love that knew no bounds A feeling deep inside of me A love I know is true Don’t give up on us, maybe We could still come through Don’t give up on us, baby (spoken) Jane, I still love you (LADY MARMALADE enters with NICK DIABLO) Jack: (Aggressively) What do you want? Nick: Now that’s no way to talk to a Lady. Jack: This is all your fault. Lady: My fault? Now let’s get one thing straight here, who was it that made the wish? All I did
was give you one wish in return for your soul. I’m only doing my job. For once in your pathetic little life, I gave you the chance to control your own destiny. You had the chance to choose between good and bad... and this is what ‘you’ made of it - not me.
Jack: That’s not fair. Lady: Fair? You do remember who I work for, don’t you? Jack: The deal is off. Lady: I’m afraid that’s not up to you. I’m sorry but there’s no way out of this - you should have
read the contract. Jack: I tried but...Look I just want to go back to the way things used to be. All my life I’ve wished
to be successful, rich...and I always thought, wouldn’t it be great if someone could come along and wave a magic wand and make all that happen. But, I’ve realised now it doesn’t work by magic and all I ever wanted I had already.
Lady: How inspiring. Look, you can go easy or you can go hard, but one way or another I will have your soul! (Exits)
Jack: (To audience) Well, did I promise you a happy ending? (B/O) SCENE 7 INSIDE JACK’S FLAT, THAT NIGHT (TOM and JACK are sitting in Jack’s flat. JACK is clearly very upset)
61
Tom: Look, cheer up, mate - it could be worse. Jack: How’s that then? Tom: Well, at least she’s going out with one of your best mates and not a complete stranger. Jack: Shut up Tom. Tom: Jack, you’ve been sitting in this flat for four days. It can’t be doing you any good. Why
don’t you come down the club tonight... help you take your mind off things. Jack: I don’t fancy it. Tom: Well, if you change your mind, you know where I’ll be. (Trying to lighten the mood) Here,
Maggie wants to talk to me about something special. We’ve booked a table in a posh restaurant and everything. With a bit of luck I might even get a chance to kiss her! (No reply) What do you think about that?
Jack: Is that all you care about? Tom: Eh? Jack: Here I am, in the depths of despair and you’re more interested in kissing some bird. Some
mate. Tom: Jack. Jack: Should I really have expected anything more? I’ve been stabbed in the back by everyone
else, why not by you too? (No reply. After a moments hesitation) Oh, I’m sorry, mate. It’s just that I miss Jane that’s all.
Tom: I know you do, mate. Jack: If I could just talk to her - tell her everything is going to be okay. Tom: Maybe one day... Jack: Tom, are you going to pick Maggie up? Tom: Yep. Jack: You couldn’t do me a favour and drop me off at Jane’s on the way, could you? Tom: I don’t think it’s a good idea, mate. Maybe you should just leave it a while. You don’t really
want to turn up at Jane’s and end up saying something you’ll regret., do you? Jack: You reckon? Tom: Definitely. Why don’t you get some rest and I’ll pop back in the morning (Taking keys out
of pocket) Jack: Thanks, Tom. Tom: That’s all right. What are mates for? I told you I’d always be here for you, didn’t I? Friends
until the end? Jack: The very end. You have a good night tonight and good luck with your Maggie. Have you
done the usual checks? (TOM goes through the same routine as in Act 1 Scene 2, checking breath, hair etc. As he
checks his breath he screw up his face) Tom: Must have been the cheese and onion crisps I had at lunch. What am I going to do?
Tonight of all nights. Here, you haven’t got any mouth wash or breath freshener, have you?
Jack: (Pointing off stage) Bathroom cabinet.
(TOM passes the keys to JACK and exits. JACK looks at the keys for a moment and runs off-stage. TOM comes back, SFX Car door closes and the engine starts)
62
Tom: Oh, no! (Calling O/S) Jack. Wait for me... hang on.
(B/O. SFX A car pulls away quickly and after a moment we hear a loud screech as the Capri crashes. There is moments silence and we hear the following announcement)
News Reporter: (Off stage) … and now for a newsflash – up and coming rock ‘n’ roll sensation, Jack Flash
has been injured in a freak car accident that has shocked the nation. Eyewitness reports have confirmed that the red ’76 Ford Capri, driven by Flash, was travelling at incredibly high speeds when it seemingly lost control at a roundabout. The vehicle, belonging to the singer’s lifelong friend, Tom Evans who was also travelling in the car, then careered headlong into a tree. Both men have been rushed to a local hospital and their injuries, at this time, are unknown. We’ll bring you more news on this tragic incident as the story develops (changing his tone) And here’s a great track for all of you out there enjoying this hot summer’s evening – the devil’s lose and stalking this town – it’s the crazy, Crazy World of Arthur Brown.
SCENE 8 HELL
(There is a loud explosion of sound / light and JACK finds himself in the middle of ‘hell’. Flames lick against the walls and a figure (DUKE) sits in a throne. Standing next to him we see LADY MARMALADE and NICK DIABLO, who turn around and smile at JACK. Members of the company, dressed in suitable red attire also surround DUKE and join in the number)
TRACK 24 FIRE (Duke & Company)////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Duke (spoken) I am the god of hell fire, and I bring you… Fire, I’ll take you to burn Fire, I’ll take you to learn I’ll see you burn You fought hard and you saved and earned But all of it’s going to burn And your mind, your tiny mind You know you’ve really been so blind Now ‘s your time, burn your mind You’re falling far too far behind Oh no, oh no, oh no, you’re gonna burn INSTRUMENTAL Fire, to destroy all you’ve done Fire, to end all you’ve become I’ll feel you burn
63
You’ve been living like a little girl In the middle of your little world And your mind, your tiny mind You know you’ve really been so blind Now ‘s your time, burn your mind You’re falling far too far behind Ohhh INSTRUMENTAL Fire, I’ll take you to burn Fire, I’ll take you to learn I’ll see you burn I’ll see you burn I’ll see you burn SCENE 9 A CHURCHYARD, A FEW DAYS LATER
(Dim lights come up on a graveyard and JANE, TERRY, MAGGIE and members of the company are standing around a grave. A PRIEST stands at the head of the crowd. Church music begins)
Priest We have entrusted the soul of our brother, to God’s merciful keeping and we now commit his body to the ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. (JACK enters from behind with his arm in a sling as members of the company leave) Terry: (Seeing JACK) What are you doing here? Jane: (Holding TERRY back) Terry, not here. Not now. Terry: Only friends and family are welcome here and you don’t fall under either category. Jack: He’s my best mate. Jane: ‘Was’, Jack. ‘Was’ your best mate! Jack: It’s not my fault. Jane: You really are unbelievable! You still can’t admit when you’re wrong, can you? Not even
now.
(MAGGIE runs off crying and JANE follows. The company start walking off, leaving TERRY and JACK on stage)
Terry: We’re all going back to the club. Do us all a favour will you and don’t show your face in there... again (He exits) (JACK waits a moment and walks over to the gravestone)
64
Jack: Why didn’t I listen to you mate? You were right all along and I just didn’t listen! This is all because of that bloody contract! If I hadn’t signed it you’d still be alive, Jane would still be with me. If only there was a way I could take it all back (Throughout the above there is the sound of tapping) Who’s there?
Tom: (Appearing from behind a headstone with hammer and chisel) Only me! Just making an adjustment to my headstone.
Jack: Adjustment? Tom: They spelt my name wrong. Jack: Well, can you keep it down mate, I’m trying to pay my last respects? Tom: Righti-ho! (Disappears behind headstone) Jack: (Double-take) Tom? Tom: (Reappearing) Yes? Jack: You’re alive! Tom: Not quite. Jack: You’re a ghost? Tom: Kind of! Scary, huh? (He makes a ghostly noise) I just came to warn you that you will be
visited by three ghosts! No, I’m only kiddin’. Jack: My life just gets weirder by the second. Tom: (Trying to lighten the mood) You think yours is weird? Last night Elvis really did stop by for
a game of monopoly (Failing) So, how’s Maggie doing? Jack: She hasn’t stopped crying all week. She misses you... we all do. Tom: See, I knew she loved me. Jack: (Regretfully) Tom, I don’t know what to say. I never meant for this to happen. Tom: I know mate but we all make mistakes. What’s important is that we own up to them and
learn from ‘em. You know, it’ ain’t ever too late to say you’re sorry... never too late to make amends.
Jack: But I signed the contract. There’s no getting out of it now... damned forever. Tom, I’m sorry. You know I am.
Tom: Hey, I know. Look, it’s no so bad up here... d’ya know ... (No response) You can’t leave things like this. You need to talk to Jane...
Jack: I’ve been trying to.... Tom: ...and Terry’s not a bad bloke. There’s no reason why you two couldn’t patch things up.
After all. you’re gonna need a new best mate now. Jack: I could never replace you. You’re always there for me. Tom: Not anymore, mate. All I can do now is watch from afar. Ah, well, I’d best be getting back.
It’s time for me to drive the celestial Capri down that pearly motorway. Oh, I almost forgot... I’ve got a message for you, from a very beautiful and wise woman. ‘Be careful what you wish for because one day that wish might just come true’.
Jack: Mum? Tom: She sends her love. She watches you all the time, mate. Make her proud! Make us both
proud. (They hug)
Jack: See you later, Tom. Tom: Goodbye Jack. I’m gonna miss ya (He exits)

B/O) SCENE 10 AN ALLEYWAY BESIDE ‘DISCO INFERNO’, THAT EVENING
(HEATHCLIFFE is sitting DS, playing his guitar. He looks very upset and worse for wear. LADY MARMALADE appears behind him, causing him to jump with a start)
66
Lady: Just the person I’ve been looking for. Heathcliffe: What do you want? Look, if you’ve come to tell me to lay off Jack. Then you can save your
breath - I’m over it. Lady: Really? Heathcliffe: Just leave me alone, will you? Lady: When did the happy fairy last slap you in the face. Heathcliffe: What have I got to be happy about? Thanks to you and your protégé, I lost everything. My
job... money... Kathy! I can’t see that there’s anything worth smiling about. Lady: You’re hurting, right? I can tell. Heathcliffe: There’s no getting anything passed you, is there? Lady: You know that there’s only one way to deal with this don’t you? Wrath... my favourite sin.
Here, this’ll help. (Handing HEATHCLIFFE a gun) Heathcliffe: A gun? Lady: Well done, Einstein. Heathcliffe: What am I supposed to do with this? And what’s the Beatles’ manager got to do with
anything? Lady: Just think - with Jack out of the way, everything will come back. Do you know what the
others are doing now? They’re laughing at you. They’re laughing at the man who was the King and you’re just going to sit back and let them? Come on Heathcliffe. This is not like you. Just one simple flick of the trigger - that’s all it will take.

Heathcliffe It’s getting late an’ I just can’t wait Just tell me when the boy get’s here It’s seven o’clock an’ I’m gonna rock Wanna get a belly full of beer My old man’s drunker than a barrel full of monkeys An’ my old lady, she don’t care My sister looks cute in her braces and boots A handful of grease in her hair Both Oh, don’t give us none of your aggravation I’ve had it with your discipline Saturday night’s alright for fighting Get a little action in Get about as oiled as a diesel train Gonna set this dance alight ‘Cos Saturday night’s the night I like Saturday night’s alright Alright, alright Oooh, ooh, ooh, oooh
67
Heathcliffe Well, they’re packed pretty tight in here tonight I’m looking for a dolly who’ll see me right I may use a little muscle to get what I need Sink a little drink and shout out, “she’s with me” Lady A couple of the sounds that I really like Are sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike Heathcliffe I’m a juvenile product of the working class Who’s best friend floats in the bottom of the glass Both Oh, don’t give us none of your aggravation I’ve had it with your discipline Saturday night’s alright for fighting Get a little action in Get about as oiled as a diesel train Gonna set this dance alight ‘Cause Saturday night’s the night I like Saturday night’s alright Alright, alright Oooh, ooh, ooh, oooh INSTRUMENTAL Saturday, Saturday, Saturday Saturday, Saturday, Saturday Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night’s alright Saturday, Saturday, Saturday Saturday, Saturday, Saturday Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night’s alright
(During the instrumental, JACK rushes passed and straight into the club. HEATHCLIFFE and LADY MARMALADE hide out of sight)
SCENE 11 INSIDE DISCO INFERNO, AN HOUR LATER
(The lights come up in the club. The company are standing around looking sombre. MAGGIE is clutching the dance trophy. JACK enters)
Terry: I thought I told you... Jack: (Interrupting) Just let me say my peace and I’ll be out of here. Jane: There’s nothing at all you can say that we want to hear. Jack: Just the same, I want to say it anyway. I’m sorry to all of you - sorry for everything. Jane I
know I wasn’t here when you needed me and I made a pretty bad boyfriend. (JANE tries
68
to speak) No, no, no... I know that and I accept it. (To TERRY) I said some pretty bad things about you too mate, but you two deserve each other and I am happy for both of you. I mean it.
Maggie: (In tears) Sorry’s not going to bring Tom back though, is it? Jack: I made a mistake.... Terry: You can say that again. Jack: ...a stupid mistake that I’m going to have to live with for the rest of my life.
(SFX Thunder. At this point, HEATHCLIFFE bursts in brandishing the gun. Everything runs in slow motion as HEATHCLIFFE shoots JACK, possibly with strobe lighting. He falls to the floor. There is a weird crescendo of voices. Music. B/O. When the lights come up, JACK is propped up against his broom as he was during his speech to the audience on page 11)
SCENE 12 INSIDE ‘DISCO INFERNO’, JULY 1976
(The lights come back up in the club. TOM enters. He no longer wears the plaster on his nose)
Tom: (As if nothing has happened) Forgot my coat. Jack: You’re nose! Tom: (Panicking) What about it? Jack: I can see your nose! Tom: Very impressive mate. Are you all right? Jack: I’m better than all right. I’m alive! I’m alive! And you’re alive too! (Prodding TOM in the
ribs) Tom: Ouch. (Confused) Yes mate.. we’re both alive. Jack: And you’re all right? Tom: (Nursing bruised ribs) Not now, my ribs hurt. You’re scaring me, mate. Jack: Tom! Tom: Jack? Jack: What day is it? Tom: Your birthday! Are you all right? Jack: And the contract, the devils... your funeral.... Tom: You’re definitely scaring me now
(There is a knock at the door. Slowly JACK goes over to the door and opens it)
Jane: I was getting worried about you. I’ve been knocking for ages. Jack: Jane? What are you doing here? Jane: I said I’d pop back to see if you’d finished cleaning up. You were going to walk me home, remember? Jack: (Excitedly) Walk you home? Oh, yeah... of course I remember. Jane: Are you all right?
69
Jack: (Still excited) I love you! Jane: (Confused and taken aback) I... I... love you too. Jack: What about Terry? Jane: Terry? Are you okay? You look a bit pale. Jack: It’s just been one of those nights. (They embrace) Come on, we’d better lock up and get
off home. Jane: I thought we could stay here and have a quick drink first. It ‘is’ your birthday.
(Suddenly the whole cast jumps onto the stage, ‘Surprise’. JACK is so shocked that he trips over his own feet. The company are wearing party hats and carrying drinks, balloons, presents etc.)
Duke: What are you doing down there? Jack, there’s a few friends of mine I want you to meet. Jack: You! But you’re, you’re... Duke: (Patronisingly) Duke? (DUKE calls LADY MARMALADE and NICK DIABLO over. JACK reacts in terror) Duke: Jack, meet Lady Marmalade, top club acts promoter and good friend of mine and Mr Nick
Diablo, publicist to the stars. Lady: Duke tells me that you’re looking for a career in showbiz and ’we’re here to offer you that
opportunity. Nick: We’re looking for a dynamic front man - someone with talent, style, charm - you’ve come
highly recommended so we thought we’d pop down with the contract and.... (LADY MARMALADE produces the contract and places it down on the bar) Jack: (Bluntly) I’m not interested! Jane: Jack? I think he’s just been working too hard. Duke: If only! Lady: I don’t think you understand what I’m offering here. Jack: I think I’ve got a pretty good idea. Thanks, but no thanks. I’ve got everything I need right
here. Heathcliffe: Here, what about me? If you’re looking for someone with talent, style, charm... (He
belches) .... then look no further. Lady: Well, if you’re sure, Jack. (Looking HEATHCLIFFE up and down) I guess you’ll do.
(Handing him a pen) If I can just have your signature down here then we can get started, we’ve got a busy schedule ahead.
Heathcliffe: (Signing the contract) Look at this - signing autographs already. Jack: I’d read that through carefully if I were you. Heathcliffe: Well, unfortunately for you - you’re not. So pipe down. Jack: Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
(LADY MARMALADE takes the contract and she and NICK DIABLO walk over to the door, HEATHCLIFFE follows)
70
Lady: (To HEATHCLIFFE) Just a minute. (LADY MARMALADE and NICK DIABLO walk back to JACK and takes him aside) Lady: You look confused. Nick: Paragraph 3, Section 1.4. Clause 7. ‘If the damned realises the error of his/her ways then
this contract will be deemed null and void’. Lady: You apologised, Jack. Repented. You said you were sorry. That’s just like a ‘get out of jail
free card’. Simple wasn’t it? It’s a shame really. You spend fifty or sixty years working on a client; making them vain, greedy, lustful... , then just when he’s breathing his last breath he repents. I knew you were a clever one.
Nick: (Looking to HEATHCLIFFE) I’m not sure there’s much hope for him though. Lady: Do me a favour and keep this between us... our little secret. If word gets out then we’re
ruined. Goodbye, Jack. (She winks and they walk back to HEATHCLIFFE) We may have to see what we can do about the look. A change of hairstyle perhaps?
Heathcliffe: Well, that’s it. Sorry to break up the party but I’ve got a date with an angel. (KATHY follows him towards the door) Sorry, babe but you’re excess baggage, if you know what I mean. (To everyone) See you around.
Jack: Not for quite some time. Heathcliffe: (To LADY MARMALDE) Hold on. I forgot my coat. Lady: Oh, I don’t think you’ll be needing that where you’re going.
(KATHY looks upset by HEATHCLIFFE’s rejection. TERRY puts his arm around her and she smiles at him)
Duke: Look at you all... this is supposed to be a birthday party isn’t it? So Jack, how do fancy a
job here? Jack: I’ve got a job here. Duke: On the stage I mean. It looks like I’m going to need a new act to replace Heathcliffe, if
you’re interested. To be honest, I never liked the guy anyway. Jack: Well... Duke: Don’t look to enthusiastic. Jane: Of course he’s interested. Duke: I thought so. Kathy: (Handing JACK Heathcliffe’s coat) This will look better on you. Jack: (Putting on the coat) Well, what do you think? Duke: (Up on stage) Ladies and Gentlemen, will you welcome for the last time tonight. The best
thing that’s happened to dancing since feet - the Serif of Soul - Jumping Jack Flash! Tom: (Music starts) The stage is all yours! Jane: Burn, baby, burn! Jack: I’d rather you didn’t say that. (They kiss. Music starts)
71
TRACK 27 PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC WHITE BOY (Jack & Company)……………………………… Jack Once there was a funky singer, playin’ in a rock & roll band Never had no problems, yeah, burnin’ down one night stands An’ everything around me, yeah, got to stop to feelin’ so low An’ I decided quickly - Yes, I did - gonna disco down and check out the show And they was dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’ And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted Company Play that funky music white boy Play that funky music right Play that funky music white boy Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die Jack Till you die, oh till you die INSTRUMENTAL Company And they was dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’ And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted Jack Play that funky music white boy Company Play that funky music right Jack Play that funky music white boy Company Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die Jack Till you die, oh till you die Company Play that funky music white boy Play that funky music right Play that funky music white boy Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
(At the end of the number, the characters are with their respective partners centre stage. MAGGIE pulls TOM towards her and they kiss, the others smile. JACK walks forward into a spot)
Jack: (to audience) Well, that’s my story. I told you it was weird, in fact, I’m not sure that I
believe it myself, but that’s the gospel truth. We never did see Heathcliffe after that. Be careful what you wish for because one day that wish might just come true. There’s probably a lesson there somewhere for all of us. Anyway, I better get back - I’m missing my own party. Later!

Burn Baby Burn, Burn Baby Burn.. burnin’ Jack To my surprise, one hundred stories high People getting loose, y’all, they’re gettin down on the roof The folks are screamin’ out of control It was so entertainin’ when the boogie starts to explode I heard somebody say… Company Burn Baby Burn (Disco Inferno) Burn Baby Burn (Burn that mother down) Burn Baby Burn (Disco Inferno) Burn Baby Burn (Burn the mother down) Burnin’ All around my head I hear music in the air (I hear music) That makes me know there’s a party somewhere Jane Satisfaction (Oh, oh, oh) came in a chain reaction (Burnin’) I couldn’t get enough (Oh, oh) so I had to self destruct (Oh, oh, oh) The heat was on, (Risin’) to the top Everybody goin’ strong (Oh, oh, oh), that was when my spark got hot I heard somebody say… Company Burn Baby Burn (Disco Inferno) Burn Baby Burn (Burn that mother down) Burn Baby Burn (Disco Inferno) Burn Baby Burn (Burn the mother down) Burnin’ INSTRUMENTAL Company I just can’t stop when the sparks get hot I just can’t stop when the sparks get hot I heard somebody say… Burn Baby Burn (Disco Inferno) Burn Baby Burn (Burn that mother down) Burn Baby Burn (Disco Inferno) Burn Baby Burn I heard somebody say…

Burn Baby Burn (Burn that mother down) Burn Baby Burn Baby burn
(In the orchestration, an optional ‘Disco Inferno’ Megamix has been included for the Curtain Call. Previous productions have repeated one of the medleys as an Encore, usually encouraged by the audience and persuading them to stand, sing and dance; the ‘Village People Medley’ is always a popular choice. This decision, however may be left to the discretion of the director and musical director. Enjoy!)
