Stage Fright Page #4

---

You take this show

all the way to the curtain call,

got it?

You got it.

David Martin to Joel.

Where are you, Joel?

Joel?

I wanna make sure you know

how to be your best, so:

throat coat. Performers' secret.

Before all your big solos,

for sure.

Honey. Just eat

the whole thing. Mmm.

Hey! You can't do the show

tonight.

Get out, Joel, we're warming up.

Cam, come on,

you have to listen to me OK?

There is a killer at this camp.

- Zeeeaaaayyyyy, ahhhh...

- Would you shut up?!

You're not listening.

Artie was killed.

Get out, Joel.

Warming up is, like,

really important!

Now, my vocal coach taught me

this trick.

You steam up the whole room,

and then you can come in here at any point in the

show and just, like, moisten your vocal cords.

Eeeeaaayyyy, eeeayyyyy, ahhhh!

Joel?

Nice!

Oh, awesome work, Whitney.

It's good as new. OK,

you can't be here

during the show.

I have a quick-change

and I need this area clear.

So, just do your janitor thing

somewhere else, all right?

OK, you're being really creepy.

So... haven't heard from you

in a while.

What's been happening at camp

this summer?

Tell me something.

Places, people. Places!

Ready to be scary and fabulous?

Fabulous.

Places! Places, people!

Excuse me.

Oh, Mr. Brady.

Mr. Brady, so glad

you could make it.

- Thank you for having me.

- Follow me.

Again, thanks for coming.

- Thank you.

- Thank you. Enjoy, enjoy!

Maestro to the pit,

Maestro to the pit.

- You gotta talk to me sometime.

- Shh.

We work, we slave,

preparing for opening night

Rehearse all day,

it all must be perfectly right

'Cause Teatro Firenze is

the greatest of opera stages

They spare no expenses

Except for our wages

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

The Ghost of the Opera!

He nearly killed me!

Behold!

Do you not hear

what I say?

Sofia will star in the play

All will obey

my instructions

Or fall prey

to repercussions

Yah pum da pim de pom,

yah pum da pim de pie

Hiyah!

See? You nailed it!

My master summons me

To dine with him tonight

He plans to ask my hand

in marriage

And he has every right

He's given me everything

He's given me

oh so very much

But when I think

of who I truly love

I'm reminded of the touch

of Alfonso

So tender, so strong,

so Alfonso

I pretend not to long

for Alfonso

The touch of Alfonso

So tender, so strong,

so Alfonso

I pretend not to long

for Alfonso

Though I know what's best

I need the caress

Of Alfonso

Whitney? This is a quick-

change for me, remember?

Ah, still can't see very well

in this thing.

Ah, thanks. Hey, did you hear

the crowd out there?

They were, like, all over me.

You know, David said that I...

Jeez. Whitney,

that thing is so wrong.

Nailed it!

How's that for a quick change?

Alfonso!

Pressed on his chest,

he's undressing my dress

With his breath

on my breasts

It's Alfonso

But it's not meant to be

my destiny

Master, you may take me now

Take me now!

Sam Brownstein to the stage.

Maestro.

Maestro!

Play something!

Play anything!

Sam!

Sam, where are you?

It's our scene.

Whitney? Hello?

Help!

Camilla?

There's a killer in the theatre.

There's a killer in the theatre.

Camilla, where are you?

There's a killer in the theatre!

- Yes, that is your line.

- Now go say it onstage!

Zeeeaaayyyy! Zeeeaaaayyyyy!

Zeeeaaaayyyy!

- You have to stop the show.

- No!

I gotcha.

Sam, what the hell

are you doing?

Eeeeaaaayyyy! Eeeeaaayyyy!

Ahh! Let me help you warm up!

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da,

da-da-da-da

Da, da, da!

Da-da-da

Ah!

You tried to run,

but you never could hide

Hey!

There's no escape now,

it's a knife for an eye

Hey, where you going, fat man?

Give you some slack

But you know I'll just

pull you right back, man

You've gone too far,

you never learn

You pushed me past the point

of no return

Come here~

Dum-dum, duh-de-dum-dum, duh-

de-dum-dum, duh-de-dum-dum-dum

Dum-dum, duh-de-dum-dum, duh-

de-dum-dum, duh-de-dum-dum-dum

Dum-dum, de-de-dum-dum, duh-

de-um-dum, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum

Sit down!

Ahh, ahhhh, ahhhhh

Ahhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ugh!

Dum-dum, duh-de-dum-dum, duh-

de-dum-dum, duh-de-dum-dum-dum

Yeahhhhhhh!

Yeah! Yeah!

Stop!

Get out of here!

It's me! It's Cam.

I tried to keep you

out of it, Cam.

But you wouldn't listen.

It's OK.

- "It's gonna be great!

- You'll see. "

You wanted to do the show.

Well, this is the show!

Buddy.

Buddy, stop!

Buddy! Buddy, stop!

Buddy.

Buddy, please stop it!

- He killed Mommy.

- Did you know that?

- Camilla, don't listen to him!

- Why would I do such a thing?

Because she was cheating on you!

Guess who finally made it

tonight.

TheTimes?

Lawrence Gibbs is

absolutely in love with you.

How do you know?

Just spoke with him.

Congratulations, Mr. Producer.

Ah, Camilla,

that's... not... true.

It's true. Yeah, it's true.

You went onto the stage,

but I saw what you did!

Oh. Ah.

Larry, we can't.

He was just here;

he's gonna catch us.

I already caught you.

Roger?

Shhhh.

Camilla, he's lying! Stop him!

How could you never tell me...

...this whole time?

- I was scared.

- You shouldn't be here, Buddy.

I told you not to come in here,

but you didn't listen

and your mother had an accident

because you didn't listen!

Shh!

It's OK. It's OK.

I'll take care of it.

I'll clean it all.

Shh!

You behave!

I was scared this whole time.

Then good old Rog comes in

and announces the revival.

And you wanted

to dress up and be

just like Mommy, didn't you?

Well, me too!

I even got myself a costume.

That's when I realized

it was my fault.

Right, Rog?

I'm always making a mess.

Well, guess what, Rog?

I made a mess.

I made a big mess tonight!

- Just for you! Ha! Ha! Ha!

- Buddy!

Ah!

What else could I...

I gave you a...

Buddy! Stop...

Ugh!

Noooooo!

Buddy!

- I'll clean this up.

- I'll clean this up.

No!

Someone help me!

Help! Somebody!

Someone help me!

Is it over? Come on, let's go.

Liz Silver?

Ew! Oh.

You just needed to be

in the show, didn't you?

Well, go ahead, then. Sing.

Sing the damn aria!

Do it!

Must this be my sacrifice?

- It's still going on.

- Oh, there's more.

- My dream come true

- Get on! Sing louder!

This is all I ever wanted

Now I'm forever haunted

This is all I ever wanted

Now I'm forever haunted

Ah. Ah!

Help!

Help! Help me!

Ever wanted

Known that you would

Take all I ever had,

all I ever knew

All I ever dreamed of

came true

Now, now, now, now, now, now.

Everything's OK. There. You OK?

You OK? You OK now?

You OK now? Yeah.

Ahhhhh.

That a girl.

There you go.

There you go.

Oh-ho-ho. Oh, Cammy,

- don't be silly. Put that down.

- No!

Put that down. I'm not gonna

hurt my little star.

I'm not gonna hurt my sweet

little Broadway star.

No!

My Sofia.

You give me that.

Why won't you give me that?

You are just like

your goddamn mother!

Ha! Ha! Haaaaaa!

Known that you would

Take all I ever had,

all I ever knew

All I ever dreamed of

came true

- B*tch.

- Now I'm forever haunted
