"Her Sweater" from MRS. SHARP

Music & Lyrics by Ryan Scott Oliver
Book by Kirsten Guenther
Direction by Ryan Mekenian

From the 2007 developmental production at NYU's Summer Collaborative Musicals at the Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program.

Insecure, self-conscious McKenzie tries on her teacher's sweater... and begins a transformation into a completely different person. Meanwhile Mrs. Sharp and her student tend to other matters upstairs in her bedroom.

McKenzie... Ali Stroker

MCKENZIE:
HMM
OOO

I REALLY LIKE THIS SWEATER.
ITS A PERFECT FIT.
MAKES MY BOOBS LOOK BETTER.
SHE WONT MIND A BIT.
MARSHALLS COULDNT SELL IT,
YA CANT MAKE THIS WITH DYES.
BUT IF YOU LOOK, YOU CAN TELL IT
REALLY COMPLEMENTS MY EYES
BET THE JACKETS MY SIZE

OH GOD, I LOVE THIS PEA COAT.
I WONT FEEL SO FAT.
ITS A VERY ME COAT
BUT IT NEEDS A HAT.
AND THIS. AND THAT.
DRESS-UPS SUCH A FRENZY—!
FUSS MORE WITH YOUR HAIR
YOU NEED BLUSH, MCKENZIE.
(Looking at Kimberlys purse.)
LETS SEE COULD BE SOME IN THERE?
OH, SHE SO WOULDNT CARE!

OOH OOH
OOH OOH
O—MMM—!!!!

(Seeing herself in the mirror.)
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING
I LIKE WHAT I SEE.
SIXTEEN YEARS OF PRAYING
I'D WAKE UP AND BE
SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME
AND I...

(MCKENZIE hears the sound of JAKE and KIMBERLY making love upstairs. MCKENZIE makes a mental note of this, smiles and takes one last look at herself in the mirror. SHE looks fabulous. )

REALLY LIKE THIS SWEATER.
