37. Hedwig and the Angry Inch "Sugar Daddy"

Preston's hair has been pushed back and held down by a skull cap so the wig will look more natural and not irritate his scalp. The curtain began to ripple as it was pulled apart; he smoothed down the miniskirt and quickly ran his hair through the artificial blonde bangs.

To no one in particular he said, "Why is it always me?"


"A rock musical? Really?"

Debra pushed her glasses up, "Oh come on, Preston, it'll be fun!"

He sighs, "Fine."

She smiled (and that made him smile a little too), "It's about a good topic too! It meant a lot to a friend of mine at my old school and I know she'll come to watch, it was one of our favorites!"

He pursed his lips and took the pen in hand and signed the audition form with a flourish.


Debra gave him a thumbs up, she murmured a few words in to her headset and the curtains were fully parted. The audience greeted him with joking laughter and more than one wolf whistle (to which he knocked his knees together, unsure of just how much skin he really had to be showing for this) and then… and then…

He cleared his throat, "I've got a sweet tooth for licorice drops and jelly roll… Hey, sugar daddy, Hansel needs some sugar in his bowl~"
