Act I

Election Day USA

Act I — barbershop quartet

A patriotic-striped barbershop quartet narrates election-night chaos while the LED wall behind them escalates from a sleepy Georgia gym to a full apocalyptic meltdown.

Georgia A school-gym polling place, live chaos on the deck behind the quartet.
Wisconsin The quartet strikes a pose as the Democracy News Network wall rolls election-chaos headlines.
Meltdown An apocalyptic gym -- swirling ballots and the sizzling-steaks gag.

Ballad of Four Seasons Total Landscaping

Act I — Gilbert & Sullivan patter

A patter number: the campaign’s post-election press conference gets booked -- through sheer incompetence -- in a strip-mall parking lot wedged between a crematorium and an adult store.

The Confession The strip-mall storefront in daylight; the coordinator alone in the aisle.
The Interruption "BREAKING: RACE CALLED" cuts in; the press buried in their phones.
Triumphant Disaster The marquee flips to "MAKING ASHES GREAT AGAIN" as the room erupts.

Sue Me Baby One More Time

Act I — 90s boy-band

A boy-band of four lawyers in matching suits and 90s hair litigate the election in synchronized choreography before a powdered-wig judge. Every motion: DENIED.

The Argument The four boy-band lawyers in triumphant swagger before the bench.
Denied A full-screen "DENIED!" gavel wall; the powdered-wig judge downstage as the band crumples.

Act II

Stop the Steal, Buy Our Merch

Act II — march anthem

The march to the Capitol staged as a commercial: the Shaman hawks caps and t-shirts at a merch cart, then leads the pack down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the dome.

The Ellipse Step-off at the Ellipse -- the Shaman and his rally assemble beneath the Washington Monument.
The Merch Cart A flag-jacketed hawker works the crowd, a tray of caps and shirts held high.
Pennsylvania Avenue The crowd hardens and marches, the dome straight down the avenue.
Arrival The Capitol head-on, a wide V-formation, the flag raised high.

Storm the Capitol But Make It Fashion

Act II — dance centerpiece

The centerpiece dance number: a rioter-couture corps and sequined showgirls converge into a full Rockettes kick-line in the House chamber.

Statuary Hall The fashion-dance corps drilling in unison among the statue ranks.
The Shaman Leads The Shaman struts downstage as the corps falls in behind him.
The Rotunda Sequined flag showgirls beneath the coffered dome.
Enter the Shaman The Shaman takes center among the sequined showgirls.
The Kick-Line A three-quarter view down the line, every kick in unison under the dome.
The House Chamber Both troupes fused into one high kick-line, the Shaman dead center.
