Of course, first of all read the section of Through the Looking Glass where Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice it's meaning so you know what Brillig and Slythy and to Gyre and Gimble means and act it like any other monologue, remember it is a storytelling monologue and your auditors may not realize what it means to stand in uffish thought or to burble as it came it will be your responsibility to make these obscure adjectives clearly understood!

I would use the story teller trick of making coloring the adjectives with their meaning that way they don't lose interest in your performance because you are using a lot of words that they do not not understand and your performance isn't making it obvious.

Awesome choice! Good Luck!

OMG! OMG! I LOVE THAT SONG!!! It was in my first play!! Alice In Wonderland, right? I still have that CD. Do it with sort of a jazz rythm to it when your dancing, it looks great. Do some square steps and when it says," magical, funky feeling..." Do a slow turn. I got a great part! HAVE FUN!!
