Where are They? (Historical Character)

I have chosen Act 1 Scene 4 where the Kit Kat Girls are singing 'Telephone Dance' in the Kit Kat Klub and are asking boys to dance with them and by themselves drinks. This scene has helped me focus on one girl so that I can create and relate a story to her character. I have chosen the '1st Girl' because she is the one who 1st asks a boy (Cliff) to buy her a drink which indicates her confidence to start this round of the Girl's flirting with the men through out the song. She gets rejected but just shakes it off and walks back to the bar as she probably asks men to buy her drinks regularly and is used to being rejected every now and then. Then again it would seem that Cliff just wasn't interested as he was leaving straight after so this can't indicate anything more of a reason why he said no. I have chosen this scene because it interests me how in that time and place women would ask the men to dance and would flirt with them first whereas now days it is the opposite way round and men usually approach women first. This scene shows the confidence the Kit Kat Girls have and representation of how women behaved in this era of Berlin by flirting with men first.
