Jules’s “I Want” song. A sly, simmering solo of desire, doubt, and first sparks of rebellion.

🎶 “I want a sip… I want the thirst.”

Something’s Brewing (Demo) – Jules

Act I opening number. The Velvet Boot throws open its doors in a smoky, swagger-filled explosion of jazz and joy.

🎶 A coded knock. A secret world. Where saints and sinners toast the same.

Speakeasy - Come to the Speakeasy (Demo) – Ensemble

Marco lays down the rules of legacy in this fierce, jazz-funk anthem of masculinity, control, and generational pressure. Merc pushes back to defend Rome, the man he secretly loves.

🎶 “Soft boys bruise where knives won’t miss…”

Family Business (Demo) – Marco, Merc, & Ensemble

Act I, mid-show number. Jules steps through the hidden door of the Velvet Boot — and into a world where queerness is power, not sin.

🎶 A brass-fueled, sweat-soaked celebration of joy, desire, and becoming.

She doesn’t just enter the club.
She enters herself.
