Darkness falls.

Silence follows.

A massive monitor above the stage lights up displaying a brilliantly animated galaxy's luminescent "sea" of quasars, meteorites, stars, planets, and suns. 

The dark sky is jaded with twinkling lights, suns and distant stars. 

Gear-like stars circle planets and planets revolve within solar systems. Silently, but continuously, the galaxy continues to move, until slowly, the shining bodies of the galaxy disperses into pinpoints of light, then disappear. 

Darkness follows. 

Slowly, silently, within the darkness, shimmering evanescent feathers of light appear, spiraling slowly into one another. This continues, accelerating until a bright point of light appears at the center. 

As the waste hydrogen, asteroids, and debris of planets are pressed closely together, the brilliant point of light suddenly explodes in a blinding flash of creation. A loud bang breaks the dark silence.

Silence follows.

Out of the whirls and swirls of glowing gases exploding into stars, nebulae, and galaxies, the universe is reborn.

Slowly, a tiny clear beam of light emerges and begins moving towards the audience until it appears shimmering and jewel-like. 

As it moves closer, a  giant, clear glass sphere  becomes visible. As the sphere continues to emerge from the depths of new space, a bird and a ship can be seen entrapped within the glass sphere. 

Both bird and ship, the creature is both living and inanimate; a mythical ship's figurehead – its swan-like appearance symbolizing peace, love, beauty and comfort – its ship-like nature portrays its peculiar and mysterious journey through the universe, treacherous seas of the past and the eerie, but intriguing seas of new space.

A light reflects from the planets of the galaxy onto the sail, on which a newly created sun can be seen rising in the sea of the new space.

On Stage: Wings enters under the darkness of the hall. 

As the ship continues to drift entrapped in the glass sphere, a shower of meteorites and asteroids swish by hitting the the glass sphere. With a loud noise, the glass shatters,  the sphere cracks open and the band starts to play.

Music Over: band plays. 

The band begins to play the opening song to the audience's surprise and jubilation. 

On the screen the creature struggles out of the broken sphere into newly-created space. As the bird escapes, so does the audience.

The song continues while the bird majestically flies into the darkened sky, passing stars, planets, heavens, mythical gardens and lakes of the newly created universe.  

When the song begins to end, the bird pulls up its wings higher and higher until its body forms and freezes on the screen as a "W."  

As the spotlights shine on the stage for the first time, a narrator announces:

Voice Over: narrator

"Ladies and gentlemen, Paul McCartney and Wings."

The audience goes wild with roars and applause!
