Telling an actor to break a leg is a grand old tradition in theater, and now, I have. Oh, the irony!
MOMelissa O’ Malley
But Madame, it's only your leg. You can still direct, just sitting down.
No, child. The theater demands total commitment, body and soul. (gets up from her wheelchair) No, my darlings. While I'd rather hang from the gallows that made this decisions, I fear the show must be cancelled!
I'll do it! (Madame Rothschild looks at her) Okay, hello? There's also an old saying that the show must go on, right? And you're always telling us how an artist must seize the moment, so let me take your place! (The kids gasps) I can do this! I know I can do this!
And you will, my dear!
I like your moxie. (Juniper and the others walk away) You remind me of myself when I was just a young chorus girl with dreams of becoming a big Broadway star. And like you, those dreams will be crushed into dust like snails' shells on concrete. But still, the job of director is yours. (pulls out a script) This script contains everything you will need to make my vision a reality. Take it, learn from it, listen to the call of the muse. I have put my soul into this show, Ophelia. I am handing you my very soul. Do you understand?
