Reiterate Buy: Tickets to See the Hexagon Players Performance of Willy Wonka!

Sorry for the Wall Street title to this post, but I've been working too hard this week and can't seem to separate business from pleasure. Anyway, my loyal Roxiticus Desperate Housewives readers will remember that on Sunday, Rex, Maddie, London, and I went to see the Hexagon Players' local performance of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory at Delbarton in Mendham Township. It turned out to be my favorite Hexagon performance from the past several years... we've seen Sound of Music, Peter Pan, Willy Wonka, and maybe one more. The Oompa Loompas really stole the show!

The last performances are scheduled for Friday night (November 20th), Saturday afternoon and Saturday night (November 21st). If there are any tickets left, Roxy strongly suggests that you go online and scoop them up. Loompadee doo!

Music Monday: Old School Oompa Loompas from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Rex, Maddie, London, and I are off to see the Hexagon Players' local performance of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory at Delbarton in Mendham Township this afternoon, and wanted all of you to share in the fun:



Sing along with Roxy now:

Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompety dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me

What do you get when you guzzle down sweets
Eating as much as an elephant eats
What are you at, getting terribly fat
What do you think will come of that
I don't like the look of it

Oompa loompa doompety da
If you're not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do
Doompety do

Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompeda dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me

Gum chewing's fine when it's once in a while
It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile
But it's repulsive, revolting and wrong
Chewing and chewing all day long
The way that a cow does

Oompa loompa doompety da
Given good manners you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do

Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompety dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me

Who do you blame when your kid is a brat
Pampered and spoiled like a siamese cat
Blaming the kids is a lie and a shame
You know exactly who's to blame
The mother and the father

Oompa loompa doompety da
If you're not spoiled then you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do

Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompeda dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me

What do you get from a glut of TV
A pain in the neck and an IQ of three
Why don't you try simply reading a book
Or could you just not bear to look
You'll get no
You'll get no
You'll get no
You'll get no
You'll get no commercials

Oompa loompa doompety da
If you're not greedy you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the - Oompa -
Oompa Loompa Doompety do

Music Monday: Veruca Salt (and London) Performing "I Want It Now"

Who else out there remembers those Oompa Loompas from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and their awesome songs about bratty children and their nasty parents? I have loved them since I was a child. 30 years later, London is preparing to audition for the Hexagon Players Fall 2009 performance of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, causing me to find the following inspirational video:



Veruca Salt:
Gooses! Geeses!
I want my geese to lay gold eggs for Easter

Mr. Salt:
It will, sweetheart

Veruca:
At least a hundred a day

Mr.Salt:
Anything you say

Veruca:
And by the way

Mr. Salt:
What?

Veruca:
I want a feast.

Mr. Salt:
You ate before you came to the factory

Veruca:
I want a bean feast!

Mr. Salt:
Oh, one of those

Veruca:
Cream buns and doughnuts and fruitcake with no nuts
So good you could go nuts

Mr. Salt:
You can have all those things when you get home

Veruca:
No, now!!

I want a ball
I want a party
Pink macaroons and a million balloons
And performing baboons and ...
Give it to me
Rrhh rhhh
Now!

I want the world
I want the whole world
I want to lock it all up in my pocket
It's my bar of chocolate
Give it to me
Now!

I want today
I want tomorrow
I want to wear 'em like braids in my hair
And I don't want to share 'em

I want a party with room fulls of laughter
Ten thousand tons of ice cream
And if I don't get the things I am after
I'm going to scream!

I want the works
I want the whole works
Presents and prizes and sweets and surprises
Of all shapes and sizes
And now
Don't care how
I want it now
Don't care how
I want it now

As an added bonus, here come the Oompa Loompas to set the Stage Mothers and other Bad Parents straight with these words of wisdom:
Oompa Loompa doompadee doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you will listen to me

Who do you blame when your kid is a brat
Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat?
Blaming the kids is a lion of shame
You know exactly who's to blame:
The mother and the father!

Oompa Loompa doompadee dah
If you're not spoiled then you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompadee do
