==Plot==
It’s a sunny morning in Storybook World, Mr. Salt greets us at the door and we are also greeted by Tickety Tock, Slippery Soap, Shovel, Pail and Sidetable Drawer as Josh sings in the shower of his hopeful audition. ("Brand New Day")
After Josh is dressed and ready for another day, he sings and dances with his friends and has breakfast with the Spice Family. Just as Josh sits in the Thinking Chair, he wonders where Blue is and she appears under a spotlight adding a dance to Josh's routine as the number ends. Josh is hopeful he got an audition and is sure it came in the mail when Mailbox comes with the mail ("Mailtime").
Josh asks if it's the letter he has been waiting for and Mailbox thinks it is which leads Josh to exclaim in song "We Just Got A Letter." It truly is a letter when he opens it and finds a message from Rainbow Puppy saying that Josh got the audition and to come at 3 to audition for a Broadway musical with Rainbow Puppy in New York City.
Everyone in the house is very happy for Josh! Josh reveals that he always wanted to audition for a Broadway musical since he was a child. Flashing back to the present, Josh is nervous to audition until Mr. Salt persuades him to go to New York City to audition for the Broadway musical and reminds Josh that the audition is TODAY at 3. Josh wonders how they can get to New York City and Mr. Salt says he has put the address of the theater in Josh's Handy Dandy Notebook.
The Skidoo Express arrives and Josh is still nervous. He is unsure if he can do this without us and asks us to come with him to New York City. Mr. Salt tells Josh to make his dreams a reality and get that part and boards the Skidoo Express as he exclaims "We're On Our Way!" as everyone gives him a send off. The Skidoo Express gets closer and closer to the sign for New York and lands in the middle of the city. Josh and Blue are in awe over the new sights and sounds, but the sights and sounds of New York are a bit too much for the two and Blue is so scared that she jumps into Josh's arms. Despite this, Blue and Josh are now on their way to the audition and explore the city. ("On Our Way")
Mr. Salt misses Josh and Blue and wonders what they are up to right now and Mrs. Pepper suggests that they are eating pretzels and asks the mustard bottle for "her" opinion, much to the bewilderment of the pretzel lady. Just as Blue and Josh settle back down for their pretzel, they find "Madame Mustard" being squeezed but Josh realizes that the person who ordered the pretzel with mustard is not mad at mustard. Josh decides to check where the audition is and cannot find his Handy Dandy Notebook. Meanwhile, in iStorybook World, Mr. Salt realizes that Josh forgot this Handy Dandy Notebook. Josh once again checks his pockets for the notebook with no luck. Mr. Salt decides to go find them in New York as it is his dream to be Josh's hero. ("Happiness is Magic (Mr. Salt)")
