Finale, Final Scene

so, there we have it: Joe Valentine, PI, shot the Villain of Peace. . . who turned out to be the ultimate and yet unrevealed cross-dresser, but won an Oscar for his non-performance anyhow . . . Joe won the heart of his moll (who had a t-shirt made to celebrate) and they lived happily ever after; The Penguin With The Strange Case Of Amnesia won an Oscar for her dance sequences. . . . . .and retired to her special place in the snow and the ice until her services were required again; Lemonade Stand found a replacement and another replacement and exited stage left to live happily ever after (or at least until next year)

.

meanwhile, The Audience clapped and clapped. . .. . .until their hands became sore and their wrists ached (well, most of them did, one of them just got an aching wrist), hoping for an encore, or a least a little more plot development. . .

Finale, Scene Two

in which a pair of sexy go-go boots joins the cast

I dunno, from can-can to go-go. . . there has to be a hidden meaning in all this somewhere*. . . (while I ponder this, The Audience reach for their song-sheets and burst into song!) (*more details to follow soon!)

Finale, Scene One

in which our intrepid and extremely versatile Penguin With The Strange Case of Amnesia is joined by various others for

an amazing Antarctic stomping dance scene. . .

and, not to be outdone, Joe Valentine, PI casts off his coat for a different kind of mackintosh

and joins in. . .

his glamorous assistant rushes to join him, has a bit of an issue with her costume. . .

. . .so decides to just strip right off and make the most of the raindrops

but what of our other maiden? and, will The Missing Amulet ever be found? and (*The Audience boos and hisses*) when will the I,LTV 2009 Panto Extravaganza Villain (as yet uncast) ever appear? and, has The Lemonade Stand finally run out of lemons? and, more importantly, will he ever sing again? (brilliant suggestion for his next song here!); and some scenery is still to be built. . .

Second Interval: in which. . .

a Star Is Born

(click the link in the side bar and sing along with Joe Valentine, PI) (or just listen to his sweetly sung and gently whispered nothings) (meanwhile, not to be upstaged, various Penguins join the Penguin With A Strange Case Of Amnesia for a bit of antarctic frolicking. . .)
