Announcing the Banquet
SEBASTIAN
The Prince is looking dreamy-eyed
He has since giving the ball
And still he wants to find his bride
The one he lost at the ball
So spread the word throughout the land. The Prince is throwing a banquet
HERALDS
Hear ye!
Hear ye!
SEBASTIAN
It is his wish that the woman he met at the ball will attend. As for the rest of us, well, what can I say – there’s gonna be a ham. Talk it back to me!
HERALDS
Hear ye!
Hear ye!
SEBASTIAN
And of course – I want to keep an eye on what women are there! I’m not giving up control this time! Spread the word!!
HERALDS
Hear ye!
