I thought you preferred sunglasses? AND YOU have ten thousand different headbands… Well, why not? We only have one head, why shouldn’t I want to make it look as cool as I can? Because fashion is not important right now. So whatever the maskmaker makes you, you’ll wear it! Right? Of course, right. Covid, oh Covid Have I made a mask for you! Its stretchy, it’s soft Okay it stinks of glue But it’s a fine size, a bright hue, true? True. I know it might be smelly And even if it’s hot Put it on you STAT Cover up your snot CHarona, I found it! Now you get to go outside It’s spandex, it’s cute Okay, no, that’s a lie But it’s a fine mask, a bit tight, right? Right. And no you can’t reuse it You’ll need a new one every night It’s only temporary So let’s not fight. Now let’s cover up your face It is not a very hard task With no touching, no parties, no steady employment Be glad you got a MASK! Maskmaker, maskmaker You know that I, don’t like the outside So please, take your time Up to this minute I thought that I could Go maskless and still be good It’s clear now We will be covered Unless we stay safe inside It’s not that we were against them It’s just that we hadn’t tried! Maskmaker, maskmaker We will pull through What did you say? I can’t hear you It’s cause I’m wearing My mask now, you fools So, Go get a shirt Fold it two times This line is here So that it rhymes I’ve made my own mask, and it looks fine!?

    Follow @abbygoldfarb on Instagram for more! ***"The Wizard and I" (WICKED) Parody*** LYRICS Did that really just happen? Have they quarantined the whole world? There's a sense I've tried to push down deep inside called anxiety What would help us beat the virus? If only we could. So try then we should! When I meet Corona My sense of smell will go first. And then I give Corona to my mom, strangers, a nurse. And with all its novel novelty It's very difficult so subside it Do you think Corona is dumb? Or a hoax like some have implied it? No! It'll say to me, "I want to infect you a lot Let's see you try to defy!" Well, we're at war it seems Corona and I Once we've faced Corona Daily life sure will change Cause after the Corona All have gone insane No people want to take a cruise A plane, a bus, or a train And all of us know the answer If we've been infected Then Trump's to blame And I wait for the worst With a lot on my mind Maybe it just takes some time For now I'll wash my hands Corona and I And one day it'll say to me, "Abby, New Yorker who likes outdoor activity Let's see you stay all cooped up inside As though you're stuck in captivity Although i'm tearing through the big cities Because you're in close proximities Would it be all right by you If I infect rural areas too?" "Okay, alright, you don't have to be mean Please, just stop" I reply Oh, let us all be spared Corona and I We all must be aware Corona and... Unlimited The virus is unlimited Yes, the future seems uncertain and unlcear I know It feels like we're losing But really we are choosing To stay at home and watch TV And soon it will be history Let's fight and not retreat And then life after the virus Will still be difficult as hell We can't just throw a penny Down into a wishing well And so we will wait for the curve to decline And have a good Corona cry Oh that's a nice cool breeze When people see me they won't sneeze It will be over, I decree Corona will die!

My love and deep gratitude goes out to the healthcare workers, police officers, firefighters, and ALL essential workers keeping us afloat and saving lives every single day. I applaud you at 7pm every evening. Thank you.*** LYRICS They say Don’t come back, seriously Go ahead and sail away to sea Don’t come back, it’s real rough Since you’re here though we will still be tough You will not stay till’ fall We do not want to return your call And once we kick you out We will vaccinate and immunize you to prevent your spread of doubt A toast to Hulu Amazon Prime Good old Netflix You have all stayed by our sides Network TV shows The distraction you provide May you always keep me satisfied Coronavirus gives me some worse news everyday Husband works from home he’s just sittin' here okay? They say it started out in China Boarded a cruise ship just to sail across the sea Now it’s all better in China it’s just way to close to me The virus doesn’t discriminate between The congress and Tom Hanks But we keep distance anyway We wash, disinfect, isolate Sculpt our abs doing planks And if there’s a vaccine to cure this hell That makes all the rich people get well I’m not willing to wait for it I’m not willing to wait for it Please stay inside Please stay inside Please stay inside We cannot kiss We cannot kiss If we don’t share a quarantine home We better end all of this It’s only been a couple months of some dating I guess we might as well say pause and keep waiting I honestly feel relieved cause it wasn’t true bliss We cannot kiss Let’s escape Run away from New York City And go upstate We could find somewhere by the water Just a plot of grass Is all we can ask Where we can go out without a mask Yes! On FaceTime. My friends can all hear from me. On FaceTime There is no need to fight We’re gonna schedule a time to dine Don’t be shy. Abby, will they say you’re weak? No, they will know I’m home You’re position isn’t unique So, it’s important that I stay strong Why do you have to use FaceTime? If I use FaceTime, my family and friends won’t move on They’ll still love me when it’s done Like my mother says, “How does this thing work it’s very confusing I can’t see my face anymore I’m pressing the right thing, I’m sure” But I can help her with the using And hopefully Her face will come back into frame She won’t go on feeling ashamed On Facetime (The grocery) Someone has to go out and restock all the food in our kitchen (The grocery) Although I like ordering online sometimes I’d like to cook a thing or two (The grocery) At the store I see lines standing waiting They only let 10 in a time And when I get inside Will they be restocked? Will they have frozen broccoli? Oh, at least people are being kind It won’t last for too much more time (Who will go get groceries) You stay inside, I’ll go get groceries

This whole situation is a Little Shop of Horrors! LYRICS Cover your cough Sneeze into your elbow Go get some Clorox Clean off your phone While tidying up If you start to get hungry With worrying mounting Please cook yourself food Don’t eat disinfectants They will not cure you In fact they are poison When served on a plate Don’t eat disinfectants The CDC thanks you They’re made to clean bathrooms You won’t feel great When I was younger I learned this lesson My parents taught me What was for food But then I heard Trump “sarcastically” speaking About some injections and Now I’m confused Suddenly sunlight Might be the answer Perhaps UV rays can Be put inside too Don’t eat disinfectants I understand you They are for objects A vaccine’s for flu Glad things are clear And you won’t be ingesting Listen to doctors who know what to do Now when I hear more “sarcastic” directions I’ll look just as traumatized as Dr. Birx Don’t eat disinfectants (I won’t eat disinfectants) They will not cure you (They will not cure me) In fact they are poison (They are poison) When served on a plate (Served on a plate) Don’t eat disinfectants (I won’t eat disinfectants) The CDC thanks you (The CDC thanks me) They’re made to clean objects They’re made to clean objects They’re made to clean objects You know it’s true (I know its true)

Go pour your wine Get up to stand Now sit back down you must be tired post some content to inspire It’s worth admitting, I’ll tell you the truth This all won’t just go away Stay on your couch today, old chum Eat dinner on a tray I watch the news to learn how to stay healthy And only like to hear from Dr. Fauci… And Cuomo, Gupta, Cooper, Tapper, Lemon They talk and talk until around eleven. At seven I can hear the woos and cheering Is it possible that’s what I could be hearing? New Yorkers showing love as one big team Together for a moment so it seems I am inspired with some hope and fight Do your part, and do it really right Are you still sitting alone on your couch? It isn’t hard to obey. Stay in your house, today, you bum Or maybe go write a play! And as for me And as for me I have a couch, two chairs, a queen bed I’m not succumbing to this deep dread Summer is coming The sun will still rise Corona will fade away Life is no big parade, old chum It’s more like a masquerade, old chum So stay on your couch TODAY

    Broadway in Yiddish? - Joel Grey and Fiddler on the Roof at Easter Bonnet Competition 2019

    At the 2019 Easter Bonnet Competition, the award for best presentation went to the cast of Off-Broadway’s Fiddler on the Roof - in Yiddish, which asked the question, “What if other Broadway classics were translated into Yiddish?” Their answer was a side-splitting medley of the Yiddish versions of The Book of Mormon, Chicago, Dreamgirls, Hamilton, Legally Blonde, South Pacific, West Side Story and Wicked, culminating with the show’s legendary director, Joel Grey, singing “Git op mayn grus tsu Brodvey” (“Give my regards to Broadway”) from George M!. The skit was written by cast members Ben Liebert and Adam B. Shapiro with Yiddish lyrics by Mikhl Yashinsky. Records were shattered and inspiring, comical and soul-stirring performances were shared at the 33rd annual Easter Bonnet Competition, which raised $6,594,778 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the highest amount ever for a Broadway Cares event. The record-breaking number was raised by 69 Broadway, Off-Broadway and national touring productions and was announced Tuesday, April 23, 2019, by Bryan Cranston (Network), Jeff Daniels (To Kill a Mockingbird), Glenda Jackson (King Lear) and Kelli O’Hara (Kiss Me, Kate). The previous record was $6,379,572, set in 2017. Since the Easter Bonnet Competition began in 1987, the event has raised $87.5 million for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
