Lydia's main objective in this scene is to CONVINCE THEM THAT HER PLAY IS BTTER THEN TODS. She is clearly being attacked and demeaned by the government officials who do not want to see the play produced.
Before this scene Lydia was finishing the last details on Green Fence.

Act I, Scene 1
Status: Shaky but memorized (including Oh No What Shall We Do)
Lydia's objective in this scene is as follows: First she intends to win over the audience (or the viewer, person she is in conversation with) but explaining to them what she does and why she does it. Her objective then becomes to belittle Todd. The only reason she chooses to do so, is because he is interfering with her first objective by intriducing himself and threatening her place as resident author and playwrite/hero of the story. Following this, which continues throughout the scene, Lydia gets her brilliant idea for her show. Her over all objective in this scene is WRITE A PLAY THAT IS BETTER THAN TODDS PLAY.
Before this scene: Lydia was at work. She is an accountant. She ends her day with her favorite pass time, writing.
Motivation in song: Lydia's motivation in participating in the song is to complete her play. Her objective does not change in the time the dialouge turns to song. Her thoughts and interjections in Oh No What Shall We Do are her thinking outloud. NOT her ilastrating her ideas to the audience intentionally.
Space: Although Lydia is surrounded by other cast members, she is theoretically at her desk in her home. I consider their interjections to be interjections into her thoughts which are unwelcome and unwanted.

Lydia
So, in 6 weeks we will open Green Fence. Grease closes this week so I will begin intensive work on my character of Lydia.
