2009 Studio Cast of “Allegro”
Grandmother’s Death
(GRANDMA enters, trying to smile in spite of her worry.)
[GRANDMA]
Food and sleep, and plenty of soap
Molasses and sulfur, and love and hope
The winters go by
The summers fly
And all of a sudden...
All of a sudden...
(She exits.)
[TAYLOR]
Ready, Marge?
[MARJORIE]
Yes, darling
(Speaking out to the audience)
Joey, stay in the house 'til we get back like a good boy
(to TAYLOR)
Ned Brinker's bringing little Jenny over to keep him company
[TAYLOR]
That's good. These things are nothing for kids. Nothing for anybody
She was a good old lady, wasn't she?
[CHILDREN]
"These things arе nothing for kids..."
But it did happen to you
You're a kid -
And yet, hеre you are
And suddenly, you have no Grandma
