The Contest
GRIMSBY
Welcome, dear friends, to our contest
The first that this kingdom has ever seen!
We gather today for a vocal display
So our prince may at last choose a queen!
(Spoken)
These six princesses possess the most accomplished voices in all the land!
Tonight, one of you will go home with the crown!
May the best woman win!
