    Raggedy Ann: The Musical Adventure (aka Rag Dolly) is a dark fantasy musical with a book by William Gibson and music and lyrics by Joe Raposo. It's based on the children's stories by Johnny Gruelle and is loosely related to the 1977 feature film Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure, which included variations of a few songs. The story centers on Marcella, a dying young girl whose toys come to life and take her on a magical adventure to meet The Doll Doctor, in hopes that he can mend her broken heart. The show created a controversy in Albany, it was a renowned sensation in Moscow, a notorious flop on Broadway, and it went on to develop a cult following through bootleg recordings.

    Lyrics -
    [RAGGEDY ANN]
    FIRST CAME THE LIGHT IN THE NURSERY
    LIFE SEEMED AS PLEASANT AS IT COULD BE
    LITTLE GIRL'S LAUGH
    LOVE I RECALL
    NOW I'M NOT SURE OF WHERE I AM AT ALL--
    I'M JUST A RAG DOLLY,
    HAPPY AND SMILING ALL DAY
    A LITTLE RAG DOLLY,
    KEEPIN' IT SIMPLE THAT WAY
    I STOP AND SAY GOLLY
    HOW COULD IT HAPPEN TO YOU
    COULD ONE POOR RAG DOLLY
    PLAIN AS CAN BE
    REALLY MAKE SOMEONE'S WISHES COME TRUE?
    I'M JUST A RAG DOLLY,
    LIGHTING A LITTLE GIRL'S DAY
    A LITTLE RAG DOLLY
    WISHIN' HER WORRIES AWAY
    TO ME IT'S REAL FOLLY
    COULD I EVER MAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT
    WHEN I'M A RAG DOLLY,
    LOST AS CAN BE
    WOND'RIN' HOW I CAN GET THROUGH THE NIGHT.
    WE'RE WANDERING WAY TOO FAR
    FROM WHERE WE SHOULD BE
    AND HOW WE'LL EVER GET THERE'S A MYSTERY.
    CAN'T YOU SEE?
    I'M JUST A RAG DOLLY
    WANTIN' FOR TIMES TO BE GLAD
    A LITTLE RAG DOLLY
    STARTIN' TO SLIDE INTO SAD
    WISH I COULD BE JOLLY
    CAREFREE WHEREVER I ROAM
    BUT I'M A RAG DOLLY
    WAY DOWN INSIDE
    AND MY HEART SAYS I WANNA GO HOME.

    I remember this show was just too scary for children. The poor kid sitting in back of me was crying in horror during the first act and whoever took him didn't return for act two.

      Honestly the entire concept itself is pretty dark too since it’s based off of an actual child’s death. Still a great musical with deep themes.

      It being too scary is actually why it failed. Parents complained to news stations about the material being too scary

    Raggedy Ann would fit really well in a stop-motion movie style. When I watch the Broadway musical, I think of how crazy and trippy it would be as a SM puppet film.

    I don’t understand how this show played well in Moscow and sold out every performance, but closed after 5 performances on Broadway, this show would have success if it was on Broadway right now

    • @helloladder

      the show was much different by the time it came to broadway. producer meddling led to major cuts and changes to the show that ultimately made the show worse and led to its demise. However, I believe that even if the show had been performed on Broadway the exact same way it had been performed in Moscow, it still wouldn't have been successful. it may have lasted a bit longer, but the show just isn't a Broadway show. it's not fit for that large of a theater and high ticket prices. The show is much better fit for a smaller more intimate space-- I believe it could have thrived Off-Broadway.

    First came the light
    In the nursery
    Life seemed as present as it could be
    Little girls laugh
    [unintelligible noises]
    Now I’m not sure
    Of where I am
    At all
    I’m just a rag dolly
    Happy and smiling all day
    A little rag dolly
    Keeping it simple that way
    I stop and say golly
    How could it happen to you?
    Could one poor rag dolly
    Plain as can be
    Really make someone’s wishes come true?
    I’m just a rag dolly
    Lighting a little girl’s day
    A little rag dolly
    Wishing the worries away
    To me it’s real folly
    Could I ever make everything right?
    When I’m a rag dolly
    Lost as can be
    Wondering how I can get through the night
    We’re wanderin’ way too far
    From where we should be
    And how we’ll ever get there’s a mystery
    Can’t you see?
    I’m just a rag dolly
    Wantin’ for times to be glad
    A little rag dolly
    Startin to slide into sad
    Wish I could be jolly
    Carefree wherever I roam
    But I’m a rag dolly
    Way down inside
    And my heart says
    I wanna go home

      PRIMERO LLEGÓ LA LUZ EN LA GUARDERÍA
      LA VIDA PARECE AGRADABLE
      LA RISA DE UNA NIÑA
      RECUERDO EL AMOR
      AHORA NO ESTOY SEGURO DE DONDE ESTOY
      SOY SOLO UNA MUÑECA DE TRAPO
      FELIZ Y SONRIENTE TODO EL DÍA
      SOY UNA PEQUEÑA MUÑECA DE TRAPO
      LO MANTENGO SENCILLO
      ME DETENGO Y DIGO GOLY
      ¿CÓMO PUEDE PASARTE A TI?
      ¿PUEDE UNA POBRE MUÑECA DE TRAPO, POR SENCILLA QUE PUEDE SER, REALMENTE HACER REALIDAD LOS DESEOS DE ALGUIEN?
      SOY SOLO UNA MUÑECA DE TRAPO
      ESTOY ILUMINANDO EL DÍA DE UNA NIÑA
      SOY UNA PEQUEÑA MUÑECA DE TRAPO
      ESTOY DESEANDO SUS PREOCUPACIONES FUERA
      PARA MI ES UNA VERDADERA LOCURA
      ¿PODRÍA HACER TODO BIEN?
      CUANDO SOY UNA MUÑECA DE TRAPO
      ESTOY PERDIDO COMO SE PUEDE
      ME PREGUNTO CÓMO PUEDO PASAR LA NOCHE.
      VAMOS MUY LEJOS
      DESDE DONDE DEBEMOS ESTAR
      CÓMO LLEGAREMOS ALLÍ ES UN MISTERIO.
      ¿NO PUEDES VER?
      SOY SOLO UNA MUÑECA DE TRAPO
      YO QUIERO TIEMPOS PARA SER ALEGRE
      SOY UNA PEQUEÑA MUÑECA DE TRAPO
      ESTOY COMENZANDO A DESLIZARME EN TRISTE
      DESEO SER ALEGRE Y
      SIN PREOCUPACIONES DONDEQUIERA QUE VAYA
      PERO SOY UNA MUÑECA DE TRAPO POR DENTRO
      Y MI CORAZÓN DICE QUE QUIERO IR A CASA.
      ¡Espero que esta traducción esté bien! El español no es mi primer idioma, pero traté de hacerlo lo más preciso posible.
