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
