- Oh, uh, they haven't updated the list yet.

- Save it.

I know you're one of the cooks.

I just want to audition.

- Can't let you do that.

- I could get into trouble.

No, no, you won't

get into trouble.

I'll tell them that I just snuck

by you and you didn't notice.

Yeah, like I wouldn't notice

a girl like you.

What's your name?

- Joel Hopton.

- Listen,

Joel...

if you do me this favour...

...I'll... I'll owe you one.

- Ms. Silver.

- Mr. Martin.

That it?

No! Um... me.

I've been dreaming,

wanting this moment

Now it's real,

I'm here at last

Everything just like

I imagined

But how did it happen

so fast?

I've been dreaming,

wanting to be here

I've been dreaming,

wanting to meet her

Watching from far

all of this time

Now it's real

but I mustn't lose her

I must make sure

she'll be mine

This is all I ever wanted

Now I'm forever haunted

This is all I ever wanted

Now I'm forever haunted

How could I have

Known that you would

Take all I ever had,

all I ever knew

All I ever dreamed of

came true

Now I'm forever haunted

That girl!

Camilla!

What are you doing here?

Let's go, dinner's at 5.

Hey, Rog, a word? Hey.

Who's directing this show, huh?

We had a deal.

OK. Shh, shh, shh. - Full creative

control. That's what we talked about.

OK, OK, shh.

Camilla, you know camp policy.

I can't start

making exceptions...

I know, I know.

And you never have,

but this...

is different.

- Your mother's role?

- You said yourself

she would be proud.

I will allow the audition.

But she will be

treated like every other camper.

There is a process.

This is bullshit!

: Let me see! Move!

You two, I knew you were

gonna get them. I knew it!

- That is her.

- She's one of the cooks.

- Buddy!

- Congratulations.

Hey.

Who's gonna cover your shifts

when you're in rehearsal?

You are.

Roger took her and her twin brother

in after their mom was killed.

The night thee originated

the role of Thofia.

- What? That's impossible.

- No, it'th true.

Ten yearth ago thith thummer.

Thuper cool, right?

I'm surprised. I didn't know

you actually wanted to hang out

- with those...

- Those what?

Mom was a theatre geek.

Kylie Swanson slept

with so many people on Broadway

they called her

The Great White Lay.

They live in a fantasy world.

I don't want you

to get sucked in.

I'm not getting sucked in.

You people make me sick!

- Sound off

- One, two - Sound off

Three, four - When you come

to Center Stage, the show...

Mom, being in an enthemble

ith really thtrething me out.

Uh, Victor Brady, please.

It's about the showcase

at the camp.

This weekend.

Camp.

Yes.

Thank you.

F*** me in the...

Never mind.

Congrats.

Thanks.

So, I guess now you owe me one.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Welcome to

Limelight!

For those of you who are new,

I'm your stage manager,

David Martin.

I'm here to make sure that

the show goes on no matter what,

and I will do

whatever it takes.

Well, except go on stage -

I don't do that.

Hello, stage fright.

But backstage, make no mistake: I run

the space and you will feel my wrath.

J/K, I love you guys.

- Oh, my god!

- But there is a process,

and without further ado,

Herr Director.

Woo!

Woo!

What is at the heart ofHaunting?

- A love thtory about...

- It's about covering.

Covering up who you really are.

And isn't that the scariest

thing of all? That's why I'm

going to reinvent this entire

production and cover it

with a postmodern face.

Now, who can tell me...

what Japanese tradition

involves covering...

your face all in white?

Bukkake.

Kabuki?

And that is why my version

of Opera Ghost will wear

not just any mask,

but a kabuki mask.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you

the new face of Opera Ghost.

Whitney?

OK, everybody. That's it.

Remember:
off-book by Thursday.

Camilla, do you have a second?

I want to show you something.

Have a seat.

That was some performance

yesterday.

I'm just curious...

do you already know

who's gonna do which show?

The Broadway agents come on...

opening night, right?

Tension.

And release.

Cheers.

What?

Nothing.

Well, we have to kiss

in the show, right?

Yeah.

I don't want to take away

from the magic of the moment.

So, are you gonna tell me

who gets to go up opening night?

I'm just curious

about the process.

Well, I don't want to take away

from the magic of the moment.

We work, we slave

Preparing for opening night

Rehearse all day

It all must be

perfectly right

Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah,

ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah,

ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah,

ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah,

ah-ah-ah-ah

I gotta run.

- Can't you just be late?

- It's unprofessional.

OK, good, let's take a break,

and let Oleg do his thing.

Mm-hmm.

It's Alfonso

But it's not meant to be

My destiny brings me here

To take my vow

Master, you may take me now!

- No, stop. Hold!

- Hold!

- Like you mean it.

- Ar-Ar-Artie,

I'm attracted to women, OK?

- Sure, Sam.

- But... but in this scene,

Opera Ghost is yearning

for his love.

And when he touches her, yeah?

Master, you may

take me now!

Amateurs!

Artie?

Why don't you show him on me?

OK, OK. I get it!

Let me try now. - Liz, why

don't you take a little break?

- What? I'm fine.

- Let's just go again.

I said take five.

Ah-ah-ah-ah,

ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah,

ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

This is all I ever wanted

I'm forever haunted

Hey, Camilla.

Bunk 10's doing an all-drag Stephen Schwartz

revue for evening activity tonight.

Wanna... go with me?

- Thanks, but I-I...

- I can't.

- Artie!

- Right.

Wait up!

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah,

ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Camilla,

can I have your autograph?

- She doesn't even go here. Ugh!

- What am I even talking to you?

You're not going to understand.

You're just an alto.

If that slut gets opening night,

my mother is going to kill me.

Aghhhh!

- Whoa.

- What?

I just...

I just don't think

we should, um...

I see.

This is all I ever wanted

Now I'm forever haunted

How could

How could

Take all I ever had,

all I ever knew

All I ever dreamed of

came true

Known that you would

This is all I ever wanted

So, Mr. Getz, how's my show?

- I'm forever haunted

- Genius.

I'm a genius.

Which Sofia are you gonna use?

You leave the directing to me,

OK, Rog?

What about your Broadway friend,

the one we're supposed to impress?

Victor Brady. He's already, uh,

reserved his seats for opening night.

You leave the producing to me.

Victor Brady, please.

It's about the, uh...

How could I have

Known that you would

This is all I ever wanted

Now I'm forever haunted

Must this be my sacrifice?

Look how she wants it

Look how she flaunts it

My dreams come true

But at what price?

Look at the woman

she's trying to be

Look how she wants him

Look how he wants her

I will never let him steal her

from me

Take all I ever had,

all I ever knew
