The show continues wiff scenes 1 and 2. **Due to the rules ob Broadway, no photos or bideo is allowed, please use your imaginashuns.

Scene 1: The Apartment
(A cozy, eclectic apartment filled wiff theater memorabilia, posters, and a miniature stage where Baxter and his brothers rehearse.)

Baxter: “Brothers, I have a bision! A grand, spectacular, show-stopping bision! We’re gonna put on a Broadway show!”

Waffles: “Ooooh! Can we hab chandeliers? A grand staircase? Perhaps eben—velvet curtains!”

Reuben: (crossing his arms) “A show? Us? Baxter, you know how hard it is to make it on Broadway. Eben talented performers struggle.”

Fish: (nibbling cheese) “Yeah, but… imagine the cheese at the after-party!”

Barry: (tinkering on a piano) “It’s a bold idea, Baxter, but I’ll need time to compose. A show needs music. It needs heart. It needs—”

Baxter: “It needs us! We hab the talent, the passion, and the dribe! Marigold always says Broadway is magic. If we believe in it, we can make it happen!”

Scene 2: The Grand Theater & Marigold’s Story

(The brothers make their way to the theater where they hope to pitch their show. The grand chandeliers glisten as rehearsals take place.)

Marigold (a wise old pigeon): “What are you little stars up to this time?”

Baxter: “Marigold! We’re putting on our own Broadway show!”

Marigold: (chuckles) “Oh, my dear starry-eyed rat… Broadway isn’t just glitz and glamour. It’s sweat, tears, and hard work. But if anyone can do it, it’s you boys.”

(The brothers gather around Marigold as she flutters onto an old velvet seat, gazing wistfully at the stage.)

Waffles: “Marigold, how do you know so much about Broadway?”

Marigold: (smiling fondly) “Once upon a time, I was the star of this very theater. A dazzling performer, soaring through the rafters, swooping in perfect harmony with the grandest musical numbers. They called me ‘Marigold the Marvelous.’ But times changed, my feathers grayed, and new stars took the stage. I watched from the wings, unseen, but always listening, always loving every note, every spotlight, every moment. Broadway is in my bones—or rather, my wings.”

Reuben: (softly) “So why do you stay?”

Marigold: “Because Broadway never leaves you. It stays wiff you, forever humming in your heart. And now, I help dreamers like you find your place in its magic.”

Big Musical Number: “Broadway Belongs to Us!”

(A flashy number where humans, pigeons, and other performers sing about the magic of Broadway, wiff Baxter and his brothers leading the charge.)

Lyrics wiff music:

ENSEMBLE: Step into the light, hear the overture play,
Feel the rhythm, let it carry you away!
The stories, the songs, the curtains rise,
A dream takes flight before your eyes!

BAXTER & BROTHERS:
Broadway belongs to the bold and the bright,
To those who dare to dance in the light!
No matter how small, no matter how new,
If you got a dream, Broadway’s waiting for you!
(Tap break, wiff soaring vocals as Marigold joins in.)

MARIGOLD: I’ve seen the legends, I’ve heard the cheers,
Through laughter, love, and even tears!
Every star begins wiff a spark,
A song in the soul, a light in the dark!

ENSEMBLE: Broadway belongs to us all!
No dream’s too big, no tale too small!
Sing it loud, take your bow,
The stage is yours, the time is now!

(The number ends in a grand, celebratory flourish, wiff Baxter at center stage, his dream just beginning!)

Between rehearsals, Baxter and his brothers hab been making the most ob New York City’s bustling cafe scene. Ebery break, they scurry through the streets, ducking into cozy corners and sampling eberyfing from flaky croissants to rich, nutty espresso (though Fish always insists on ordering a plate ob cheese, no matter the menu). Waffles, wiff his signature bowtie neatly adjusted, takes delight in rating ebery cafe based on ambiance and presentation, while Barry prefers the quieter spots where he can sip his drink wiffout drawing too much attention.

Reuben has taken a liking to bakeries, always reaching out to fix Baxter’s ear tufft while they wait in line, pointing out the best-looking pastries on display. Baxter, ob course, is just happy to be soaking it all in—ebery warm cup ob tea, ebery hushed murmur ob patrons discussing Broadway, ebery sugar-dusted danish feels like a piece ob his dream unfolding. They hab made it a ritual to find a new spot each time to experience as much as the city habs to offer.

Fish, true to his nature, has started hoarding bits ob artisanal cheese from each cafe, tucking them away in a small pouch he now carries eberywhere. He insists it’s research, claiming he’s compiling a “cheese map” ob NYC. The brothers humor him, though they all know it’s mostly just an excuse to collect more cheese. Between rehearsals, and dreams ob the stage, these cafe stops hab become their small moments ob peace—a chance to catch their breaff, share a laugh, and remind themsbelbes that ebery step ob the journey, eben the smallest ones, are worth saboring.Reuben is the first to arribe tonight, and he’s making the most ob the quiet while he waits. A wooden platter sits before him, carefully arranged wiff fruits and crusty breads. He nibbles thoughtfully, saboring the contrast between the sweet fruit and the hearty bread, letting the flavors linger. It’s rare to get a moment to himself amidst chaos and he’s learning to appreciate these small pockets ob stillness.

The cafe is quiet, the low murmur ob tired artists and late-night dreamers creating a gentle backdrop. He doesn’t mind the waiting; he knows the others will burst in soon, filling the space wiff their energy.

As he tears off another piece ob bread, spreading it wiff a dab ob honey, the door swings open wiff a gust ob cold air, and the familiar sounds ob his brothers tumble in. Fish clutches a fresh cheese sample, Waffles is already judging the plating on a nearby table, Barry scans the room as if someone might recognize him, and Baxter, scarf slightly askew, beams as he spots Reuben waiting.
