After a number of “you go first,” “no you go firsts” the audience was ushered into our chair-and-a-half careful not to spill any Wheat Thins on the velvet ropes.
And so it began.
Two girls, ages eight and five, a broom and a lot of giggling.
Dialogue that would wow them the world over.
Act 1, Scene 1
Hanna: Welcome to Sandy’s! (while spinning the broom and tapping her toe with it) The audience is wondering if Sandy’s is a restaurant or a shoe store.
Ellie: Welcome to Sandy’s! (yanking the broom violently from her sister’s grasp, tapping her own foot and hitting the hardwood floor). Audience will remain silent and deal with floor dents and scratches post encore.
Hanna: (impressive broom stick handling) Welcome to Sandy’s!
After the fifth “Welcome to Sandy’s” I started to wonder if my sweet potato fries needed a stirring then the dialogue got interesting.
Hanna: Hi, I’m Kim.
Ellie: Hi, I’m Rosalinda.
Commence parade of curtsies.
