Mark, the youngest of the dancers, relates his first experiences with pictures of the female anatomy and his first wet dream, while the other dancers share memories of adolescence (" Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love"). The scatterbrained Kristine is tone-deaf, and her lament that she could never sing is interrupted by her husband Al finishing her phrases in tune (" Sing"). When she was six she realized, as had Bebe and Maggie, that ballet provided relief from her unhappy family life (" At the Ballet"). Opening up, she reveals that her mother married at a young age and her father neither cared about nor loved them. Zach is angered when he feels that the streetwise Sheila is not taking the audition seriously. As he speaks, the other dancers have misgivings about this strange audition process and debate what they should reveal to Zach (" And."), but since they all need the job, the session continues.

Bobby tries to hide the unhappiness of his childhood by making jokes. Mike took her place one day when she refused to go to class-and he stayed. He recalls his first experience with dance, watching his sister's dance class when he was a preschooler (" I Can Do That"). The first candidate, Mike, explains that he is the youngest of 12 children. The stories generally progress chronologically from early life experiences through adulthood to the end of a career. With reluctance, the dancers reveal their pasts. He wants to learn more about them, and asks the dancers to introduce themselves. Zach tells them he is looking for a strong dancing chorus of four boys and four girls.
