Rachel's Grand New York Adventure

"Good Afternoon. I am Rachel Berry from Lima, Ohio and I will be auditioning for the role of Elphaba," Rachel said as she walked onto the stage. She looked around the auditorium and was mesmerized by how big it was and she was imaging that the room was filled with her devoted fans.

"Hello!" said the casting director snapping Rachel back into reality "What will you be singing for us?"

"I will be singing Flashlight by Jessie J," Rachel said signaling the pianist to begin playing.

Rachel:

When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes

And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
And in the dark I found, lost hope that I won't fly
And I sing along, I sing along, and I sing along

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me, through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
Stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me, through the night
(Light, light, light, you're my flashlight)
Light, light, you're my flashlight
Light, light, light, light, light, oh
(Light light light you're my flashlight)
You're my flash, oh

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me, through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
Stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
(You're my flashlight)
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight
'Cause you're my flashlight
You're my flashlight

Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh oh oh

You're my flashlight
Light, light
You're my flashlight
Light light ye-yeah

(Light light light
You're my flashlight
Light light)

You're my flashlight

Rachel looks around the room to see the casting director giving her a standing ovation. Rachel smiles with joy as she exits the stage feeling that she did a good job on her auditions.

Rachel walks up the steps leading from the subway. She pulls out her phone and makes a call. A male voice picks up from the other end.

"What's wrong Rach," the man said.

"Absolutely nothing. For the first time in a long time I feel that things our finally looking up for us. I cannot wait until you finally move to New York," Rachel hails for a taxi and proceeds to enter the cab "4th street please," Rachel said before resuming her phone call "I think everything is looking up. I will call you later I have another audition to get to."

"I love you Rach and I'm sure you are going to kill this audition," the man said.

"I love you too Sam. And Sam thank you for supporting me even though you're not her with me," Rachel said with sincerity and appreciation for Sam's support.

"No problem babe," Sam said as the phone hangs up.

Rachel looks out the taxi's window smiling just thinking about everything good in her life. She pays the driver and steps out the car. She looks up at the various buildings as she proceeds to walk the streets of New York.

Rachel:

Are you ready?

It's time for me to take it
I'm the boss right now
Not gonna fake it
Not when you go down
'Cause this is my game
And you better come to play

I used to hold my freak back
Now I'm letting go
I make my own choice
Yeah I run this show
So leave the lights on
No, you can't make me behave

So you say I'm complicated
That I must be outta my mind
But you've had me underrated
Rated, rated

(She is joined by two girls as they snap along with beat. They walk, kick, and dance in the street as background dancer's dance around them)

What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?

It's time to get the chains out
Is your tongue tied up?
'Cause this is my ground
And I'm dangerous
And you can get off
But it's all about me tonight

So you say I'm complicated
That I must be outta my mind
But you've had me underrated
Rated, rated

(She is joined by two girls as they snap along with beat. Rachel walks onto the stage now in a crystal sequin leotard with matching sequin gloves and heels with her hair in a high ponytail. She and the dancers begin a synchronized dance number as a band walks out playing the song on their instruments. Rachel joins a line of band Majorettes and begins to perform multiple rhythmic dance moves from high kicks, spins, and flips. )

What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?

So you say I'm complicated
But you've had me underrated
