Dancing Through Life是薇尼•霍兹曼创作的音乐剧《魔法坏女巫》的插曲。《魔法坏女巫》(Wicked) 自2003年在百老汇首演以来已经吸引了世界范围内超过5000万观众,获得了超过100个奖项,风靡百老汇与西区十余年。其中所获奖项包括1座格莱美、2座奥利弗奖和3座托尼奖。《魔法坏女巫》是有史以来世界上最受瞩目、最壮观也是最成功的剧作之一,至今已经在14个国家上演,有6种语言版本。
《泰晤士报》称其为“《歌剧魅影》后最宏大的作品”。《魔法坏女巫》是对家喻户晓的《绿野仙踪》故事创造性的解构与重述。通体翠绿、遭人排挤的艾芙芭Elphaba,和娇俏讨喜、志存高远的格琳达Glinda,在经历了一系列理想与幻灭,背叛与宽恕之后,结下了深厚而难言的友谊,并收获了各自的历练与成长,其中体现的女性自我意识觉醒以及有关话语权的思考,在当今时代的语境下愈久弥新。宏大而极富想象力的布景舞美亦是一大看点。从天而降的泡泡船,悬于穹顶的神秘地图,浮华艳丽的奥兹人服装,不失为现今百老汇舞台上数一数二的视听盛宴。
Dancing Through Life歌词:
The trouble with schools is
They always try to teach the wrong lessons
Believe me I've been kicked out
Of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow
Less shallow
But I say why invite stress in
Stop studying strife
And learn to live the unexamined life
Dancing through life
Skimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life's more painless
For the brainless
Why think too hard
When it's so soothing
Dancing through life
No need to tough it
When you can slough it off as I do
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
So keep dancing through
Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is fraught-less
When you're thoughtless
Those who don't try
Never look foolish
Dancing through life
Mindless and careless
Make sure you're where less trouble is rife
Woes are fleeting
Blows are glancing
When you're dancing
Through life
So
What's the most swankified place in town
That would be the Ozdust Ballroom
Sounds perfect
Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
We'll meet there later tonight
We can dance till it's light
Find the prettiest girl
Give 'er a whirl
Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
Come on
Follow me
You'll be happy to be there
Dancing through life
Down at the Ozdust
If only because dust
Is what we come to
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
So keep dancing through
M-Miss Galinda
I I hope you'll save at least one dance for me
I'll be right there waiting all night
Oh that's so kind
But you know what would be even kinder
See that tragically beautiful girl
The one in the chair
It seems so unfair
We should go on a spree
And not she
Gee
I know someone would be my hero
If that someone were to go invite her
Well maybe I could invite her
Oh Biq really
You would do that for me
I would do anything for you Miss Galinda
So
So I'll be picking you up around eight
After all
Now that we've met one another
It's clear we deserve each other
You're perfect
You're perfect
So we're perfect together
Born to be forever
Dancing through life
Oh Elphaba isn't it wonderful
Finally for this one night
I'm about to have a fun night
With this Munchkin boy Galinda found for me
And I only wish there were
Something I could do for her to repay her
Elphaba see
We deserve each other
And Galinda helped it come true
We deserve each other
Me and Boq
Please Elphaba try to understand
I do
Listen Galinda
Nessa and I were talking about you just now
And I was just talking about you
I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight
It's really uh sharp don't you think
You know black is this year's pink
You deserve each other
This hat and you
You're both so smart
You deserve each other
So here out of the goodness of my heart
Listen Nessa
Yes
Uh Nessa
I've got something to confess a
Reason why well
Why I asked you here tonight
Now I know it isn't fair
Oh Boq I know why
You do
It's because I'm in this chair
And you felt sorry for me
Well isn't that right
No
No it's because uh because
Because you are so beautiful
Oh Boq I think you're wonderful
And we deserve each other
Don't you see this is our chance
We deserve each other
Don't we Boq
You know what
Let's dance
What
Let's dance
Dancing through life
Down at the Ozdust
If only because dust
Is what we come to
And the strange thing
Your life could end up changing
While you're dancing
Through
