Panda

Michelan Sisti as Panda, Kennedy Center 1986

**Panda** is a character from the 1984 Raggedy Ann musical. He is a stereotypical magical Asian and speaks in proverbs and broken English, and practices some unspecified martial art. Aside from this, he has very little in the way of personality or development. The role was originated by Jeanne Vigliante, and re-cast as Michelan Sisti before Broadway tryouts.

## Background

At one point, the character was instead a monkey. A slightly less stereotypical animal to represent a Chinese character, though still very tied to Chinese mythology. Once he became a Panda the character's pronouns were changed in some drafts, possibly to reflect the female actress who originated the role, but as far as it's known he was always referred to as male onstage.

Later on, The Adventures of Raggedy Ann and Andy also featured a Panda toy as a lead character, but the two share no other similarities.

## Personality

Panda is the brains of the group, and besides offering up the occasional proverb is often the voice of reason or the one to offer up a clever solution.

## Controversy

The character was pointed out by press as being an overused trope, though not heavily criticized for its insensitivity. Despite the creative team's refusal to remove the character, he nevertheless saw many lines cut throughout the Broadway run. This occasionally lead to confusion.

## Appearances

### Stage

* Raggedy Ann/Rag Dolly (1984-1986) [William Gibson/Joe Raposo]

### Albums

* Raggedy Ann: The Musical (Demos) (1985)
Raggedy Ann and Andy (1983 Musical)

Lovingly referred to as the “Circus Draft” by fans, the 1983 workshop of ESIPA's Raggedy Ann musical, **Raggedy Ann and Andy,** is the first public workshop of the show. Not to be confused with other plays titled "*Raggedy Ann and Andy*" produced in 1972, 1981, or 1987. The music was written by Joe Raposo and featured many songs from the previous Raggedy Ann & Andy film, and the book was by Timothy Mason. The sets and costumes were by Marsha Louis Eck, and lighting by Richard Winkler. It opened for previews Dec 10th and ran from Dec 16th to 21st, advertised as a family show for the holiday season.

This version had Mark Baker continuing his role as Andy, with Scott Schafer understudying him until he was given the role in 1984. Much of the cast is unknown and mainly sourced from the ESIPA company, so it's likely that actors from the 1984 Raggedy Ann had started out in 1983.

It received generally positive reviews, but many of the cast and creatives agreed that the book simply didn't work. William Gibson was given the script and soundtrack when brought onto the project and kept eight of the songs in his first draft, though only four survived to see his version onstage.

## Synopsis

Very little is known about the plot, only that Marcella and the dolls board a train and head off to the circus.

Raggedy Ann (1923 song)

**Raggedy Ann** is a song written by Jerome Kern and Anne Caldwell for the 1923 play "*Stepping Stones*." It was a popular song in its day and was recorded many times. The song and many of the recordings are now in public domain.

## Lyrics

When I was just a tiny tot, with tousled head

I had two pals with whom I dearly loved to play

The girl lived in a dollhouse, close beside my bed

Beneath her window ev’ry night the boy would say

Chorus:

My Raggedy Ann, come out when you can

Your Raggedy Andy has a plan

I’ve got a fliver sedan!

We’ll rattle off to find a ragtime cabaret

Where we can rag our raggy rags till break of day

Oo, Raggedy Ann, do say that you can

Come and dance with your Raggedy man

My Raggy Ann

I love a lady who has black shoe-button eyes

I love a lady with a ragbag in her head

In a parade of dumb-bells she would take the prize

But when it comes to ragtime she can knock ’em dead

Always together we'll be

I only hope you can hear me

Somehow I feel you blue

I'll always need you near me

My heart belongs to you

My little Raggedy Ann

Forever we will be together

You and me, my Raggedy Ann

I Look, And What Do I See?

The third track on side one of the Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack).

The song was also included in a 1983 workshop of a stage adaptation, although specifics are currently unavailable.

## Lyrics

**Raggedy Ann:**

Most times it's only the simple everyday things,

Like ribbon bows or puppies and boys or games to play on swings.

But sometimes, hanging upside down from Marcella's hand,

By myself I see a very special land.

I look and what do I see?

Looking out with two brand-new shoebutton eyes, here's what appears to me:

I see lots of pretty, and a lot of happy,

And a bit of everything that's there inside of me!

I look and what do I see?

From a head all filled with thread and linen in a raggy jamboree,

I see lots of smiling and a lot of singing,

And a lot of something else that no one else can see!

Lots of butterflies in the air,

Lots of honeycomb everywhere,

All the pretty things we could share

Together!

I look and what do I see?

It's a face as smiling and as hopeful as my own face has to be.

Sing something pretty, all lit up and shining,

Sing something everyone could be if they were me.

When I look, that's what I see!

**Grandpa:**

You really see it that way?

**Susie Pincushion:**

Just that lovely?

**Grandpa:**

With the butterflies in the air?

**Socko:**

Every single day?

**Maxi-Fixit:**

With the honeycomb everywhere?

**Topsy:**

Really?

**Playroom Toys:**

With a happiness we could share,

Together?

**Raggedy Ann:**

Together!

I look and what do I see?

It's a face as smiling and as hopeful as I know a face could be!

Sing something pretty, all lit up and shining;

Sing something everyone could be the same as me!

When I look

**Playroom Toys:**

When I look

When I look

When I look

**Raggedy Ann:**

That's what I see!

## Lyrics

Hoppy Toad, down the road

There's a puddle where he can huddle and

Grumble grumpily, huddle humply

Grandpa Hoppy Toad

Lazily he rolls his eye

At a fly passing by

Hastily shoots out his tongue

And the fly's last song is sung

Hoppy Toad drags his load

To the puddle where he can huddle and

Croak so croakely, choking chokely

Greedy Hoppy Toad
Grandpa

Frederika is a dolly

Made in Holland land

With her fancy cap and apron

Wooden shoes in hand

From the land of dikes and windmills

She has come to see

All the queer things in this country

And to visit me

Frederika was so clever

She could say Mama (Mama!)

Every day I took her riding

On a trolley car

But she didn’t watch her step

When on a ride last week

She tripped and took an awful tumble…

Now she’s lost her squeak!

**Raggedy Ann (Chorus):**

Where is the moonlight?

(gone!)

Where is the pathway?

(gone, gone!)

**Panda:**

Too many trees here!

**Raggedy Andy:**

And general D's here!

**Chorus:**

Hope is fading, everything done and gone!

**The Camel:**

There’s someone kind here

(gone!)

**Baby Doll:**

And where's my mind here?

(gone, gone!)

I'm goin' balmy!

I want my mommy!

It's far too late to find l.A, you know

And soon we’ll all be gone!

We do get lost here as story tells

But if we listen perhaps the story turns out well

Oh, where is Andy?

(gone, gone, gone!)

**Marcella:**

And where's my dolly?

(gone, gone, gone, gone!)

**Chorus:**

We had our warning

And in the morning-

(gone, gone!)

(gone, gone!)

(gone, gone!)

(gone, gone!)

(gone, gone!)

(gone, gone!)

(gone, gone!)

(gone, gone!)

## History

### ESIPA 1984 Script

* At one point there is a verse said to be sung by the "Trees". Though this verse appears in the 11/29/84 script and the one afterward, it does not appear in the footage of the show from around the same time. This takes place after Baby Doll's "I want my mommy!" line:

Rags, buttons, and gingham and yarn

And trouble looming every side

The tale is gloomy, we're all facing harm

So lost and no one there to guide

* Andy's line, instead of "and soon we'll all be gone" is "and Mexico is gone"

### ESIPA 3/1/1985 Script

* The tree verse is removed, and a whole extra verse is added. After the song ends as above, there is a short dialogue sequence with the Witch, and then the verses from above repeat in unison.

**Raggettes (Dolls):**

We do get lost dears as story tells

(Why run so fast when is nowhere to go?)

But if we listen

(It's far too late to find L.A. you know)

Perhaps the story turns out well

(And Mexico is gone!)

Sometimes some rags, buttons,

(Where is my Andy? Gone, gone, gone)

And gingham and yarn

(And where's my dolly? Gone, gone, gone, gone.)

Are all it takes

(We had our warning, and in the morning)

To win the day

(Gone, gone, gone, gone.)

### Broadway 1986

* The overlapping verses are cut, and instead the song transitions directly into Why Not?. Andy's "and Mexico is gone" is changed to "and soon we'll all be gone".

It's Not Easy Being King

The sixth track on side two of the Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack).

## Lyrics

**King Koo Koo**

Its not easy being king when you're short.

It's not easy being big when you're small.

It's impossible to be lord of everything you see

When you're down so far you can't see far at all!

But who could ever be the boss when he's teeny?

No, your life's a total loss when you're a runt.

Oh, just think what I could do if I was big like you,

And I didn't have to put up all this front.

Imagine me, an enormous king.

How they'd bow, how they'd cheer.

I'd be the emperor of everything,

But now they hardly know I'm even here!

Silence!

I can never hope to lead, I'm just a grump.

Did Napoleon succeed? Don't be dumb.

And if he was here, you'd see he was tall compared to me!

I can hardly stand myself, do you know why?

It's not easy being king when you're short!

And I could die!
