Classic (24 + free space)
Holding up a yellow Playbill for a photo
A massive standing ovation
The "11 o'clock number" (the emotional showstopper)
An impossibly quick on-stage costume change
A dramatic spotlight on a solo singer
Jazz hands
A huge, synchronized ensemble dance number
Belting an incredibly long, loud high note
A character breaking the fourth wall to talk to the audience
The orchestra playing the overture before the curtain rises
Actors walking on a revolving stage turntable
A comedic sidekick gets their own funny solo
★
A beautifully harmonized duet
A "patter song" (singing words incredibly fast)
Waiting at the stage door for autographs
The mad rush to the bathroom during intermission
An impressive tap dance break
A dramatic reprise of the opening number
An usher scanning a ticket
The orchestra pit tuning their instruments
An understudy or swing stepping in to save the show
A tear-jerking, quiet ballad
The final curtain call bows
A heavily choreographed fight or duel
