Moreover, Nini is so proud of Kourtney's talents with make-up and fashion and her intersectional feminist pursuits- Nini even bragged to her new boyfriend EJ about how awesome Kourtney is when Nini and EJ were at theater camp.

In The Wonderstudies, when Nini thinks that Gina stole her phone, Kourteny originally tries to talk Nini down from stealing something of Gina's back, but later Kourtney gets on board and steals some of Gina's belongings herself; worrying that the two will go to jail for all they've stolen.

But most importantly, Nini and Kourtney look out for one another. Kourtney is super protective over Nini because of the heartbreak Nini suffered by Ricky. While Kourtney loves the 'Nini 2.0' after camp and is excited that Nini has moved on and is dating EJ, Kourtney is still worried that Nini might get her heart broken again. Kourtney knows how hurt Nini was after her relationship with Ricky ended because she was there for Nini when she was upset, even going so far as to slide pizzas under her door after Nini locked herself in her bedroom for 48 hours.

## Lyrics

[BIG RED]

Gosh, it disturbs me to see you, Gaston

Looking so down in the dumps

Every guy here'd love to be you, Gaston

Even when taking your lumps

There's no man in town as admired as you

You're everyone's favorite guy

Everyone's awed and inspired by you

And it's not very hard to see why

No one's slick as Gaston

No one's quick as Gaston

No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston

For there's no man in town half as manly

Perfect, a pure paragon

You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley

And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on

[ENSEMBLE]

No one's been like Gaston

A kingpin like Gaston

[BIG RED]

No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston

[E.J.]

As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating

[ENSEMBLE]

My, what a guy, that Gaston

[E.J.]

When I was a lad, I ate four dozen eggs

Every morning to help me get large

And now that I'm grown, I eat five dozen eggs

So I'm roughly the size of a barge

[ENSEMBLE]

No one shoots like Gaston

Makes those beauts like Gaston

[BIG RED]

Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston

[E.J.]

I use antlers in all of my decorating

[ENSEMBLE]

Say it again

Gaston

## Lyrics

**Ricky**:

So much has happened, think of what we've done

In the time that the Earth has travelled 'round the sun

Winter, spring, summer an' we're back to fall

It's just three little words

Yeah, it's not a big deal

It's not like I can help feeling all that I feel

And by now I'm sure you're thinkin'

"It's so obvious"

But just in case it's not

What I'm saying is this

What I'm saying is this

I think I kinda, you know

I think I kinda, you know

Like the way that we flow

Like the way that we go

And I love

I think I kinda, you know

I think I kinda, you know

You know, you know

You know how we can talk all night

And not run out of things to talk about

It's rare that something feels this right

It feels so right

I think I kinda, you know

I think I kinda, you know

You know, you know

I think I kinda, you know

I think I kinda, you know

You know, you know

I can't help dreamin' of you

Guess I'm sayin' I don't not love you

You know, you know, you know

## Lyrics

(Song: Get'cha Head In The Game)

[Verse 1: Joshua Bassett]

Coach said to fake right and break left

"Watch out for the pick and keep an eye on defense

You gotta run the give and go and take the ball to the hole

And don't be afraid to shoot the outside, J"

[Verse 2: Joshua Bassett, Boys of HSMTMTS Cast]

You gotta get'cha, get'cha head in the game

We gotta get our, get our, get our, get our head in the game

You gotta get'cha, get'cha head in the game

We gotta get our, get our, get our, get our head in the game

We gotta get'cha, get'cha head in the game

We gotta get our, get our, get our, get our head in the game

Woo!

(Song: Stick To the Status Quo)

[Verse 3: Joe Serafini, HSMTMTS Cast]

Everybody, quiet!...

This is not what I want

This is not what I planned

And I just gotta say

I do not understand

Something is really

Something's not right

Really wrong

And we gotta get things

Back where they belong

[Verse 4: HSMTMTS Cast]

Not another peep (No)

No, not another word (No)

No, not another sound (No)

No no no no

Stick to the stuff you know

It is better by far

To keep things as they are

Don't mess with the flow, oh no

Don't you stick to the status (No)

Stick to the status (No)

Stick to the status quo (No)

(Song: Breakin' Free)

[Verse 5: Matt Cornett]

We're soarin', flyin'

There's not a star in Heaven

That we can't reach

If we're tryin'

So we're breakin' free

[Verse 6: Joshua Bassett, Olivia Rodrigo, Olivia Rodrigo & Joshua Bassett]

But your faith, it gives me strength

Strength to believe

We're breakin' free

We're soarin', flyin'

There's not a star in Heaven that we can't reach

If we're tryin'

Yeah, we're breakin' free

Oh, we're breakin' free!

(Song: We're All In This Together)

[Verse 7:Cast of HSMTMTS]

We're all in this together

Once we know that we are

We're all stars

And we see that

[Bridge: Cast of HSMTMTS]

Wildcats (Hey!) everywhere (Yeah!)

Wave your hands up in the air

That's we way we do it

Let's get to it

Time to show the world

[Verse 8: Cast of HSMTMTS]

We're all in this together

When we reach, we can fly

Know inside

We can make it

We're all in this together

Once we see there's a chance

That we have

And we take it

[Outro: Cast of HSMTMTS]

Wildcats everywhere (Woah!)

Wave your hands up in the air (Alright!)

That's we way we do it

Let's get to it
