Author's Note:  I am still working on this song.  It could change dramatically

 

(COOKIE is lying on the ground, spotlight on her, no other lights.  She wakes, looking around confused.)

 

 

COOKIE:

 

Where am I?  All I remember are those ninjas ... (standing up slowly)  I must be in heaven!  But where's all the people that are supposed to greet me?  Gran, and Gramps, and Cousin Louie?

 

Maybe ... maybe I'm not in Heaven.  Maybe I'm in ...

 

(lights go up, there is a huge sign behind her that reads "F R A U D W A Y" mimicking the Broadway sign for the Broadway Theater in New York, New York.  PEOPLE are hurrying back and forth across the stage U R x U L and U L x U R.  The are carrying musical insruments, racks of costumes, etc)
