[Text Reads] People Who Mind Don’t Matter. Sung by Richard O’Brien.

DESCRIPTION: On a stage, a drag queen dressed as a witch has long black hair and long, pointed silver nails. She wears green eyeshadow and green lipstick lined with black lip liner. She wears a black pointed witch’s hat and a black dress with lacy sleeves. Behind her, a purple-haired drag queen wears a spider costume with a purple dress, and a white-haired mummy wears a white dress with white wrapped bandages.

WITCH SINGS: I’ve closed off my heart to affection.

MUMMY AND SPIDER SING: Aw.

DESCRIPTION: The witch imitates pushing a door open.

WITCH SINGS: I’ve been too scared to open that door.

MUMMY AND SPIDER SING: No.

WITCH SINGS: If I can't achieve pure perfection, is it even worth hoping for more?

MUMMY AND SPIDER SING: Yes

DESCRIPTION: They dance on a floor with illuminated tiles.

WITCH SINGS: I've been in a funk, busy thinking of how you've been thinking of me. You may laugh, but I've had half an inkling, and the truth is it’s setting me free.

[Rock music plays]

DESCRIPTION: An adult whose long dark hair has a white lightning bolt wears a black cap as they dance onto the stage.

WITCH SINGS: Because the people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind. So, let's ditch all the bad chitter-chatter and really have a spooky good time.

DESCRIPTION: The mummy and the witch dance forward, then the spider and the brown-haired adult dance forward. Behind them, four people dance at the back of the stage, including a child wearing a dragon costume.

WITCH SINGS: I once was a bit of a stickler for the rules and how things should be. Afraid to be judged by the ones that I loved but now I've found what was getting me down was my insecure anxiety Because the people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind. Let's all gladden our hearts, pitter-patter, and really have a spooky good time.

DESCRIPTION: The child and the other three people dance forward and leave the dance floor. On the dancefloor, the witch stands in the middle, and the others stretch their arms in front of them and back away.

WITCH SINGS: Ha.
