 	SCENE 1 	At the Fix-It Shop, Maria and Big Bird read in the newspaper that Diva la Diva, the world's loudest singer, is performing a concert nearby today. Soon after, Diva La Diva herself arrives with her broken toaster. She sings them a sample of her "Broken Toaster Aria," causing the entire store to shake with her booming voice and the shelves to collapse, sending the repair supplies flying. Diva tells a dumbfounded Maria she'll be back later to pick it up, while Big Bird decides to follow the powerful songstress.
