==Premise==
Told through the eyes of a [[fourth wall]]-aware [[street performance|busker]] [[narration|narrator]], named Birdie, the musical series tells the story of the Tillerman–Hunter family who live in Edendale Castle in [[Central Park]]. Patriarch Owen (the dorky manager of the park), his wife Paige (a journalist always stuck with writing fluff pieces who hopes to write a real story), their daughter Molly (loves drawing comics about herself and a boy she has a crush on) and their son Cole (an emotional young boy who loves animals). Their lives change when an elderly heiress and entrepreneur named Bitsy Brandenham and her frequently abused assistant Helen plot to buy up all the land in Central Park and turn it into more condominiums, shopping storesshops, and restaurants as a way of getting back at the world. The Tillermans must also deal with their issues and save the park.

|ShortSummary = Birdie explains that the Tillerman-Hunters have had a rough week until Owen was offered a job at Kingsley University in Connecticut. As he mulls the idea over, the family begin to play with building block toys and decide to create their own ideal future should Owen take the job. Molly imagines that she would be a janitor at the University with dreams of being an artist ("Paint the World"), before creating an extraordinary drawing that advances her career in life; her inspiration being Owen. Paige decides to be a successful fiction author ("A Different Paige"), but gets captured by an obsessive fan named Margarett (who resembles Bitsy), only to be saved by a relaxed Owen. Cole takes a spaceship where he befriends an alien, but must return him before the government takes him and is aided by Owen. Owen reveals that he wants to create the perfect park at Kingsley ("Follow Through"), but realizes that no matter where he goes, similar problems are always going to follow him and makes peace with the idea of staying in New York. To his surprise, the rest of the family is happy as they all realize that they cannot leave their favorite things behind and continue playing with the blocks while Birdie sums up the moral ("A Different Paige End Credit").
'''Note''': BetsyBitsy and Helen do not appear in this episode, but a character resembling Bitsy named Margarett appears in Paige’s story and a government agent resembling Helen appears in Cole’s story.
