Tiny is now alone onstage The parade has passed hi to return, slower this ti back to the start of his dating life here--the first date

As we approach the next song, he should look eager and excited He’s so naïve that he doesn’t really feel too nervous--he actually thinks dating is going to be easy, now that he knoho he is Try to capture that Try to capture what it’s like to have never squeezed yourself into the shape of someone else’s expectations Try to capture what it’s like not to be thinking in terms of "types" Try to capture what’s it like to have no exes, to have never failed Try, if you can, to show that in the way Tiny is getting ready for tonight

A mirror appears, and we see hi out all the stops for this first date Once he’s judged hiins his tale

TINY:

My first date ever ith Brad Langley, as a whole year older than rade Word of h the school like pink wildfire Brad was bedazzled by the flames and traced thee He is dressed with a kickassness similar to Tiny’s

The following is sung at first as a classic call-and-response--like "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better" only they’re doing the opposite of disagreeing This is about what it’s like to find a kindred spirit, and what it’s like to know you’ve found that kindred spirit by piecing together all the pop culture references you love We need to see Tiny and Brad gettingplays out
