The Characters of Journey Through Time:
A Disney Musical Classic
Representing the hours of the clock is our hostess, Time and 12 her muses.
At the 12 o'clock hour is Time herself. She is alluring with a shock of silvery blonde hair, and wearing an eclectic costume of Victorian, Georgian, Medieval, Renaissance, and Elizabethan styles—good for the ages. She's fun loving but takes her duties very seriously, and travels about the land, sometimes accompanied by other representations of time, such as the Watchmaker, the Sage of Time, or with her special companion, Space.
(mezzo-soprano)
Standing in at hour 1 is Plutarches, aGreek philosopher
Hour 2 is represented by the medieval Prince, Quintus.
The Sage of Time is Time's spiritual, standing in at hour 3. He is powerful priest type figure, the healing power of time. (bass)
Hour 4 is represented by Madeline, a former Cajun slave
James the Scottish Highlander helps out at hour 5
Space, Time's close protector and bodyguard, he helps Time focus on her duties. They are often together leading many to refer to them as Time and Space. He makes his home in a mountain called Space's Mountain. He represents hour 6. (baritone)

A clock chimes 11 as the theatre darkens to pitch black. Small lights begin twinkling as an orchestra begins playing. A curtain rises in the dark as the twinkling lights begin to center on a massive bronze clock.
A single spotlight on Time. She begins singing slowly
TIME
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow. Shining at the end of every day. There's a great big beautiful tomorrow. And tomorrow is just a dream away.
Music begins to pick up
TIME
Man has a dream and that's the start. He follows his dream, through mind and heart. And then it becomes a reality. It's a dream come true for you and me. So there's a great big beautiful tomorrow. Shining at the end of every day. There's a great big beautiful tomorrow. Just a dream away.
Lights up on entire clock, which begins rotating. Every number is taken by a person.
THE SAGE OF TIME
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow. Shining at the end of every day.
THE CLOCKMAKER
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow. And tomorrow is just a dream away.
SPACE
Man has a dream. And that's the start. He follows his dream through mind and heart.
TIME
And then it becomes a reality. It's a dream come true for you and me.
ALL
So there's a great big beautiful tomorrow. Shining at the end of every day. There's a great big beautiful tomorrow. Just a dream away.
Chinese sounding music begins to play as the clock stops rotating with Time at the bottom. The clock lifts into the air as Time sings.
TIME
When we're through, you can't fail. Like a lotus blossom soft and pale. How could any fellow say no sale. She'll bring honor to them all.
MULAN
Look at me. I will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter. Can it be I'm not meant to play this part? Now I see, if I am truly to be myself, I would break my family's heart. Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Somehow I can not hide who I am, tough I try. When will my reflection show, who I am inside? When will my reflection show who I am inside?
The song ends and Native American music begins. Mulan goes down a trap door and Pocahontas walks onto stage. The stage turns into a Native American village and a river. James and Quintus carry a boat for Pocahontas.
POCAHONTAS
What I love most about rivers is you can't step in the same river twice. The water's always changing always flowing. But people I guess can't live like that we all must pay a price. To be safe we lose our chance of ever knowing what's around the riverbend. Waiting just around the riverbend? I look once more, just around the riverbend. Beyond the shore, where the gulls fly free, Don't know what more, what I dream the day might send. Waiting just around around the riverbend, just around the riverbend.
(Pocahontas climbs in the canoe as James and Quintus carry her around)
And do you still wait for me Dream Giver? Just around the riverbend.
A large mountain rises from the stage as Pocahontas is carried offstage. Hercules is standing in a basic tunic while The Sage of Time climbs the mountain
HERCULES
I have often dreamed of a far off place. Where a hero's welcome will be waiting for me. And the crowds will cheer when they see my face. And a voice keeps singing this is where I'm meant to be.
THE SAGE OF TIME
You'll be there someday, you can go the distance. You will find your way, if you can be strong. You know every mile, will be worth your while. You can go most anywhere to feel like you belong.
HERCULES
Like a shooting star, I can go the distance. I will face the world, fearless, proud, and strong. I know every mile will be worth my while. I can go most anywhere to feel like I belong.
As Hercules holds the last note, the mountain sinks into the stage and reveals a steampunk Paris with The Clockmaker and the muses
THE MUSES
Come one, come all
THE CLOCKMAKER
Leave your loops and milking stools. Coup the hens and pen the mules.

Close the churches and the schools, it's the day for breaking rules. Come and join the feast of-
Clopin appears on top of the set with a bust of pyro as The Clockmaker leaves the stage.
CLOPIN
Fools! Once a year we throw a party here in town. Once a year we turn all Paris upside down. Every man's a king and every king's a clown. Once again it's Topsy Turvy Day.
THE MUSES
Topsy turvy
CLOPIN
Beat the drums and blow the trumpets
THE MUSES
Topsy turvy
CLOPIN
Join the bums and thieves and strumpets streaming in from Chartres to Calais. Scurvy knaves are extra scurvy on the sixth of January all because it's Topsy Turvy Day! And it's the day we do the things that we deplore on the other three hundred and sixty-four. Once a year we love to drop in where the fun is never stoppin' for the chance to pop some popinjay. And pick the king who'll put the top in Topsy Turvy Day
THE MUSES
Topsy turvy mad and crazy, upsy daysy, Topsy Turvy Day!
The stage goes dark and a sole spotlight appears on Space
SPACE
Riff raff, street rat. I don't buy that. If only they looked closer. Would they see a poor boy, no sir. They'd find out, there's so much more to him.
The spotlight dims and the theatre seems to fill with stars and fog as a magic carpet holding Aladdin and Jasmine flies overhead.
ALADDIN
I can show you the world, shining shimmering splendid. Tell me princess now when did you last let your heart decide.
JASMINE
You have opened my eyes. Shown me wonder by wonder. Over sideways and under on a magic carpet ride.
ALADDIN
A whole new world, a new fantastic point of view. No one to tell us no, or where to go, or say we're only dreaming.
JASMINE
A whole new world
ALADDIN
Don't you dare close your eyes
JASMINE
A hundred thousand things to see
ALADDIN
Hold your breath it gets better
JASMINE
I'm like a shooting star. I've come so far. I can't go back to where I used to be.
ALADDIN
A whole new world
JASMINE
Every turn a surprise
ALADDIN
With new horizons to pursue
JASMINE
Every moment, red-letter
BOTH
I'll chase them anywhere there's time to spare. Let me share this whole new world with you.
ALADDIN
A whole new world
JASMINE
A whole new world
ALADDIN
That's where we'll be
JASMINE
That's where we'll be
ALADDIN
A thrilling chase
JASMINE
A wondrous place
BOTH
For you and me
The flying carpet flies back into the stage and the stars and for fade, aside from a single star. A spotlight appears on Princess Tiana in a waitress outfit
TIANA
Ain't got time for dancing. That's just gonna have to wait a while. Ain't got time for messin' around. And it's not my style. This old town can slow you down. People takin' the easy way. I know exactly where I'm going. Gettin' closer and closer everyday. And I'm almost there. I'm almost there. People down here think I'm crazy, but I don't care. Trials and tribulations. I've had my share. There ain't nothin' gonna stop me now and I'm almost there. I'm almost there.
Tiana's restaurant begins to form on the stage as Time's Muses begin dancing on stage, led by Sarah, the flapper.
TIANA
In the south land, there's a city. Way down on the river. Where the women are very pretty, and all the men deliver. They got music, it's always playing. Start in the daytime and go all through the night. And when you hear that music playing. Hear what I'm saying, it'll make you feel alright.
Prince Naveen appears and begins to dance with Tiana during a musical break.
TIANA
Grab somebody, come on down. Bring a paintbrush, we're painting the town. There's some sweetness going around.
(The lights dim as the Muses and Naveen leave the stage and Tiana is left on stage)
And I'm almost, almost there.
The stage lights dim as an orchestra begins and stars appear throughout the theatre once more.
TIME
(Offstage)
In the stillness of the night, there comes a time to understand. To reach out and touch tomorrow take the future in our hand.
Time’s Muses begin walking onstage as she continues singing
We can see a new horizon built on all that we have done and our dreams begin another thousand circles 'round the sun.
THE MUSES
We go on to the joy and through the tears. We go on to discover new frontiers. Moving on with the current of the years. We go on moving forward now as one. Moving on with a spirit born to run. Ever on with each rising sun. To a new day we go on.
The clock from the opening begins dropping down from the stage, the muses replaced by characters in bronze and gold versions of their normal costumes and Time, Space, The Sage of Time, and The Clockmaker in the location where they began.
ALL
We go on growing closer through the years. Moving on through the good times and the tears. Ever on with a thousand circles 'round the sun. With a new day we go on. We go on.
TIME
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow!
The lights shut down and the curtain falls. Lights up on an empty theatre as if nothing happened.
