Lights up:  A bunch of people (including T M C and Chico) are hanging out backstage.  Enter Cookie and Sno)

 

 

COOKIE:

 

What's everyone hanging back here for?

 

SNO:

 

Oh, they're holding auditions.  Wizard of Oz, I think.

 

T M C (to the crowd):

 

All right, who would like to be Dorothy?

 

(Chico waves her widely)

 

T M C:

 

Yeah.  Anyone else?  Please?

 

 

GUY:

 

I'll do it.

 

T M C:

 

This isn't a pantomime.  Chico, go ahead and sing a couple lines.

 

CHICO (quite dramitically and falsetto)

SNO (to Cookie):

 

Hey, you should audition for Dorothy, COokie.  I bet you'd get the part.

 

COOKIE:

SNO:

 

YOu don't have to know all the words, just the songs.  We ad lib everything anyway.  And you know all the songs, right?

 

COOKIE:

 

Well, yeah, but ...

 

SNO (to the crowd):

 

Cookie will do it, she'll play Dorothy in the performance!

COOKIE:

Hey, that's a good idea!

Yeah, she'll make a good Dorothy!

Way to go, Cookie!
