A possible scene to set up “The Ice Cream Tango”
(Possibly some introductory dialogue, indicating that the four people are friends, that it is summer, etc.)
(Bell rings offstage)
A: What's that?
B: Could it be an ice cream truck?
C: I didn't think they existed any more.
D: Remember when we were kids how we used to look forward to the Good Humor Man?
(All laugh) (trill in the music)
Soprano: (spoken) As a matter of fact, do you know what I would really like right now?
(sings) I would like some ice cream.......
Possible scene after the song
(During "two chocolates, two vanillas", A looks out the window.)
A: Hey, he's gone!
(All register disappointment.)
B: He must have left while we were standing around here singing.
All resume singing with "Nothing the world has ever known", etc.
