In a musical script, each scene is typically labeled with a heading that includes the act and scene number, as well as a brief description of the setting or action. ACT 1, SCENE 1 - "ASIAN INVASION" [The cast performs the opening number, "Asian Invasion."] ACT 1, SCENE 2 - "ADON'S SEARCH" [Adon is wandering through the city, searching for the community center. He encounters various obstacles along the way.] ACT 1, SCENE 3 - "MEETING THE PROTESTORS" [Adon stumbles upon a group of protestors who are shouting about various causes. He engages in a conversation with them.] ACT 1, SCENE 4 - "MEETING PETER" [Adon finally arrives at the community center and meets Peter, who makes a derogatory comment towards him.] --- In terms of spacing, indentation, and capitalization, the scene headings should be centered and capitalized, with the act and scene numbers separated by a comma. The scene descriptions should be indented and written in sentence case. The dialogue and stage directions should be formatted according to industry standards, ## Scene Headings: The scene headings should be centered and written in all caps, with the act and scene numbers separated by a period. For example: ACT I. SCENE 1. Scene Description: The scene description should be indented and written in sentence case. For example: Adon walks down the street, searching for the community center. Dialogue: Dialogue should be centered and written in all caps, with the character's name capitalized and indented. Stage directions should be written in parentheses and indented. For example: <center>ADON</center> <center>Where is the community center?</center> <center>(Adon looks around, confused.)</center> Song Lyrics: Song lyrics should be centered and written in all caps, with the character's name capitalized and indented. Stage directions for the song should be written in parentheses and indented. For example: > CAST > (singing) > We are the Asian invasion, hear us roar! > > (The cast dances and sings, waving protest signs.) ## Transitions: Transitions between scenes should be indicated with a centered line of three asterisks, like this: `***` ## Page Numbers: Page numbers should be centered at the bottom of each page, except for the first page of each act. The first page of each act should not have a page number. > ADON > Where is the community center? > > (Adon looks around, confused.) ## Song Lyrics: Song lyrics should be centered and written in all caps, with the character's name capitalized and indented. Stage directions for the song should be written in parentheses and indented. For example: > CAST > (singing) > We are the Asian invasion, hear us roar! ## Song Titles: Song titles should be centered and written in all caps, with the act and scene number (if applicable) and the song number (if applicable) listed below the title. For example: > ASIAN INVASION > Act I, Scene 1, Song 1 ## Song Numbers: If your musical has multiple songs, each song should be numbered sequentially within each act. The song number should be listed below the song title, as shown in the example above. Reprises: If a song is repeated later in the show, it should be labeled as a reprise and numbered accordingly. For example: > ASIAN INVASION (REPRISE) > Act II, Scene 3, Song 4 ## Song Credits: At the end of the script, you should include a section for song credits. This should list the title of each song, the name of the composer and lyricist, and any other relevant information (such as the performer or the scene in which the song appears). For example: > ASIAN INVASION > Music and Lyrics by John Smith > Performed by the Cast in Act I, Scene 1 ## Formatting Song Lyrics: When formatting song lyrics, it's important to make sure they are easy to read and follow. Here are some tips: Use all caps for the lyrics, and capitalize the character's name at the beginning of each line. Indent the lyrics to set them apart from dialogue and stage directions. Use parentheses to indicate stage directions or actions that occur during the song. If a character speaks during the song, their dialogue should be formatted like regular dialogue (centered and in all caps). By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your musical script is easy to read and understand, and that your songs are formatted in a clear and professional manner. Page Count: A standard musical script should be between 100-120 pages in length, with each page containing approximately one minute of stage time.
