We open on Karen, a young Broadway hopeful, belting out a beautiful rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." As her voice soars, the sound of a cell phone ringing interrupts and brings Karen back to reality. She's at an audition, and the director rudely takes a call in the middle of her number. Karen calls her supportive boyfriend Dev to vent about how the audition was a bust. Later, she learns from her agent that she was considered too "girl next door" for the part. Karen voices her continued frustration over not being sexy enough for any roles.
