From our musical "The Gleam In Their Eyes". In an upscale restaurant, with a potential new managment contract in play, an aspiring young model, Maria, is being chatted up by a provocateur, and a slick and scheming manager who wants to get her back to his room. She's beautiful, smart, bored, and even willing if she gets what she wants, but really just wants to find work. As the manager, Paul, laughes loudly at his own jokes, we catch her rolling her eyes. Then she spots a familiar face across the way. It's Boan, also a hunky young aspiring model who's working in this particular restaurant hoping for a break. They have history--they were together for a short time--and she calls his name. He looks up and, when he sees Maria, the excitement starts! The music begins as he walks over and begins a modern dance. The chemestry between the two is obvious. Before long the entire restaurant is singing "C'mon, C'mon, C'mon Maria!" Boan picks her up and carries her out of the restaurant--all gets very quiet--and the unscrupulous manager is left alone wondering what just happened!
