First Adventure is the moment Rose finally steps beyond the safety of the workshop and into the wide, thrilling unknown.

Driven by curiosity and a longing to feel the sunshine, she winds herself up for her very first day outside. What follows is a breathless rush of wonder, nerves, and discovery as the world opens before her. Enter Topper, charming, confident, and instantly intrigued by this clockwork girl experiencing life in real time. Their playful duet dances on the edge between innocence and danger, excitement and unease.

Bright, buoyant, and quietly ominous, First Adventure captures the intoxicating thrill of freedom and the first hint that not every open door leads somewhere safe. It is a turning point for Rose, a day she will never quite forget, no matter how hard she tries to close it behind her.

FIRST ADVENTURE

Intro (Rose)

The sunrises on a new morning, Wind me up and hear my heart tick, Another day, stuck inside, I just want to feel the sunshine.

Verse 1 (Rose)

Close the door and onto adventure, What is this world before me? Take flight, I just gotta know, Deep breath, before I go!

Chorus (Topper)

A new gal, who is she? A creature of brass and stream. Take my hand, don’t be shy, Let me show you around.

Verse 2 (Rose)

Who’s this man who’s boldly talking, What’s this feeling deep inside me? Tick Tock at double time, I’m sure, it will be fine…

Verse 3 (Rose)

Hello sir, my name is Rose, This is my first time outside, I mean, I’m visiting town, Can you, show me around?

Chorus (Topper)

Welcome Ma’am, I’m Topper, A man of good esteem, Services, I provide, If you know what I mean?

Verse 4 (Rose)

Well sir I’m ready when you are, Take my arm and show me your town, I want to see it all, Show me it, until nightfall’s.

(Instrumental)

TOPPER (Topper takes her hand, surprised)

(Topper strokes the back of her hand)

Porcelain, is it? Flawless. Delicate. Deadly charming.

(Chuckles, wicked grin and winks to the audience)

(Topper and Rose dance as they look around the town)

Verse 5 (Rose)

This man has enthralled me, Is this a new beginning, Oh no, did the clock chime? I must go, look at the time.

Chorus (Topper)

Please stay here, don’t go yet, There’s so much more to see, You’ve stolen, my heart, Why don’t you stay with me?

Outro (Rose and Topper)

Topper: Please stay here, don’t do yet, Rose: I can’t stay, I have to go, Rose: I’m sorry, but I really must leave, Topper: You’ve stolen, my heart, Rose: Today’s been amazing, Topper: Why don’t you stay with me? Rose: This day’s been hard to believe.

Outro (Rose)

Close the door on that adventure, What did I think I was doing, Maybe, that was a sign, I just wanted to feel the sunshine…

(Rose runs back inside)
