"Someone's In Trouble" | LazyTown: The Musical

"Someone's In Trouble" | LazyTown: The Musical

Project Overview

Robbie Rotten has finally done it. He's finally created a machine that has successfully driven out Sportacus - and it's all Robbie could ever want. Peace and quiet once again in LazyTown. But is it really all it's chalked up to be?


This musical is a full-length production based solely on Magnus Scheving and Stefan Karl Stefansson's work on the television show, LazyTown. All credit goes to them for the characters and idea except for the original songs I'm producing for the show.

This musical consists 2 acts, made up of 18 original songs spread out among-st the cast!  (This is not a sung-through. Dialogue is a big part of this show!) The time frame for this to be completed is not exactly set ; but I expect to be able to fund it by the end of 2017 or mid 2018 at best - such as finishing final drafts of songs, final copies of scripts and speaking to many different people who can assist in costumes, set designs and ideas for blocking.

Robbie Rotten

Robbie's immaturity can be seen in certain childish behavior, fear and lack of development. He is afraid of the dark, he often jumps when surprised, and when confronted or exposed he slinks away with embarrassment.  Robbie has little or no idea of how to act in social situations. There is no doubt that Robbie often displays malevolence towards others having a desire to ruin their fun and to teach them a lesson. He is particularly malevolent towards Sportacus, wanting to drive him away or get rid of him for good. Several times he also tells Stephanie to "go away little girl." Fortunately his malevolence does not result in physical injury or harm, even despite some of his tricks and rotten plans being downright dangerous. In fairness it must be said that Robbie's plans in LazyTown are exhibited in a cartoonish manner and with all the appropriate buffoonery and humor. Robbie is shown to be very intelligent. He can create complex inventions rivalled only by that of Pixel, he is an accomplished chiseler as shown in Rottenbeard and able to think up ingenious plans in short amounts of time.


Despite all of the above, Robbie does have a soft side, and seemingly a desire to be loved and accepted. When shown kindness by others he often reacts with appreciation and softness. When invited to participate he will actually participate, and in certain situations can even show love and care.

  • Yes, yes! Robbie, you're a genius! It all adds up to (pause) something. But it's just that something that bothers me. Think, think, think.

  • What a perfect, lazy day! TV, Ice Cream, Soda, and a fluffy chair! What more could a man ask for in life?

Sportacus 10
open
Unpaid


he local hero of LazyTown, who modestly calls himself only a "sightly-above-average" hero. He, presumably, comes from an island in the North Sea like his predecessor, who has been only identified as "Number 9" in the series. He is highly athletic, as shown by his name, and does flips and jumps to do simple things such as brushing his teeth or preparing himself a sandwich. His only weaknesses are: not knowing how or when to relax and sugar, with the second causing him to suffer an exaggerated sugar crash, which he calls a Sugar Meltdown.

Sportacus is a very understanding and modest person. He knows what he is capable of and is always worried for everyone. He's always trying to help people when he feels it's needed. He doesn't hate anyone (including Robbie Rotten) and he wants to be friends with everyone (even Robbie!). He always sticks with the kids when they are playing or doing sports and he knows what they are capable of. He trusts them a lot, enough to give them responsibilities, knowing they are going to do them. He's not perfect, and has been saved by the kids on several occasions, but he never gives up and he always does his job.


Acrobatic/Gymnast/Physical skill required.

  • (small laugh) Oh, Ziggy! It actually feels wonderful to be up so high. And it makes for a good place to just sit back and take a breath of relief when you need it!

  • (urgently) Kids, keep doing anything you can to get yourself active and moving! Maybe, it will help! I will be right back!

Stephanie Meanswell

Unpaid

Stephanie is bubbly, optimistic, friendly, and always has a smile ready. She is easy to get along with, and has lots of energy. Stephanie isn't without her flaws, though. At times she can have trouble with making the best decision, but Sportacus is usually there to help her make the right choice. Some of Stephanie's favorite things to do are dancing, singing, playing sports, and hanging out with her friends, especially Sportacus.

  • I don't understand! I woke up today and it's like I can't do, well, anything!

  • Wait, hold on! I hear something. It sounds like ... someone's calling for help!

Ziggy
open
Unpaid

Ziggy is the youngest kid in town, as well as being the most energetic of them all! His consumption of large amounts of candy can cause him to become quite hyper and which starts to annoy others around him while on his sugar high, but he has a big heart. Since he has a lot of energy, he's always trying his best, even if he actually can do something or not. While he does have good intentions, a little mistake makes him feel depressed, but he always makes a quick comeback, thanks to encouragement from Sportacus. He has a lot of insecurities, because he doesn't know actually what he's good at, but at the same time, he desires to become good in everything, and that is the thing the people of LazyTown, and especially Sportacus, like about him best.

  • It feels like I haven't eaten any candy in a day! I have no energy at all!

  • Wait, wait, wait, wait, Sportacus! It's - it's too high! I can't!

Pixel
open
Unpaid

Pixel is the resident computer genius in town. He can do a lot of different things with his computer, and all this stuff is pretty well appreciated by the people of Lazy Town. For example, throughout the series, he runs a TV Station, invents spy gadgets and helps gather various information with his computer. He really takes pride in his inventions and becomes quite upset if something happens to one of them.
While he can easily understand the logical ways of computing and calculation, Pixel has trouble interacting with people, and understanding the illogical ways of the humans. He loves his friends and his friendship, but he has serious troubles understanding them. He's absent for a good part of Season 1 (While since Season 2 he appears more). Whilst no explanation is given about this fact, it is assumed that he prefers to spend his time working on his computer than playing outside with his friends.

African-American/Black/Latino only, please.

  • This doesn’t add up on my system. It’s like our energy has suddenly gone. Like we’ve been rewired!

Trixie Troubleby
open
Unpaid

The troublemaker, the rule-breaker and free spirit, Trixie likes to play pranks and definitely thinks outside the box. If there’s a traditional way to do something, she’ll never find it. She is opinionated, strong headed, and extremely lacking in patience. Sometimes the other kids just want to tell her to “chill out”. She’s very “in your face”, but always in a fun, comedic way. Think “Cat in the Hat.”
She is also very smart. She reads lots of books and has lots of trivia at her fingertips (“Did you know that the biggest glacier in the world is in Iceland?”). She is reluctant to admit that she knows so much because she thinks she will look uncool in the eyes of the others if she acts too smart. Honest to the point of pain, she doesn't pull any punches and will say what others are thinking, lacking all diplomacy. She isn't mean spirited, but she can be brutal. Her greatest fear is not being part of the group.

  • I haven’t even bothered to get out of bed today! Just let me sleep for the next hour or 10.

  • Yeah, Pinky! Get with the program, will ya?

Stingy Spoilero
open
Unpaid

Stingy, as his name implies, is the stingiest and greediest person in LazyTown. His catchphrase is "It's Mine!" Despite his greedy manner, he is a good friend who generally cares about them, and wouldn't let them down. He enjoys playing especially with his friends, but becomes hurt and angry, when he is excluded, or they don't want to play with him. He is very musical, with him shown on the Saxophone, Harmonica, Bass, and Recorder. He is great on roller-blades (Of which he owns many), and is quite good at soccer. He is very clean and hygienic (Owning many toothbrushes, and he even taught Ziggy how to brush his teeth!) As well as teaching the kids how important it is to clean up, and to keep everything tidy.

  • No, no, no, no! Stop singing! That song is mine.

  • Well I had the most energy taken! I can’t even muster enough to count what Piggy collected!

Mayor Milford Meanswell
open
Unpaid

Mayor Meanswell is a passionate advocate of LazyTown, loving everything about it. He loves that it’s the laziest place on Earth. He loves that the town has its very own health hero who is the sworn enemy of laziness. And he loves that the hero has a nemesis! How can one man be in favor of all these contradictory things? Well, he is a politician, after all.
The Mayor often doubles as the town librarian, postmaster, banker, shopkeeper and any other role for which he’s needed. Frantically overwhelmed by his various duties, he figures if he doesn't do it, who else in LazyTown will? He has a “secret” passion for Bessie, but his efforts are always futile and met with semi-disastrous results He can make mistakes, but the kids look up to and respect him in a kindly Uncle way – after all he is their only mayor.

  • Oh my.

  • A sickness! In the air or something… very dangerous, oh my. Sportacus. I think you may need to leave town.
