LSLlewelyn Sinclair

Hello! I am Llewelyn Sinclair! I have directed three plays in my career and I have had three heart attacks. That's how much I care, I am planning for a fourth.

Hmm, maybe I should have taken a nice calligraphy class.

Oh, forget it, that Mr. Takahashi's a lunatic.

LSLlewelyn Sinclair

Quiet!

Sorry.

LSLlewelyn Sinclair

I'm not an easy man to work for. While directing Hats Off to Chanukkah, I reduced more than one cast member to tears. Did I expect too much from fourth-graders? The review "Play enjoyed by all"... [holds up an elementary school newspaper with said headline] speaks for itself.

Are there any jive-talking robots in this play?

I don't think so.

Bart, don't ask stupid questions. [to Marge] Is there any frontal nudity?

[sighs] No, Homer.

[Back in Springfield Community Center]

My name is Helen Lovejoy. I'm been playing Stella.

I am Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. I played Steve.

My name is Otto! I'm playing Pablo!

Lionel Hutz, attorney at law. I'm filing a class-action suit against the director on behalf of everyone who was cut from the play. I also play Mitch!

I'm Marge Simpson. I'm played Blanche. I'm make some peanut butter brownies for anyone.

[Opening number of "Oh, Streetcar!"]

[The curtain rises revealing Chief Wiggum standing in front of a set resembling the New Orleans Superdome

CWChief Wiggum as chorus member

Long before the Superdome,

Where the Saints of football play,

There’s a city that the damned call home,

Hear their hellish rondelet...

[The set rotates revealing a New Orleans street set surrounded by the other chorus members]

CMChorus members

New Orleans!

Home of pirates, drunks, and whores,

New Orleans!

Tacky, overpriced souvenir stores,

If you want to go to hell, you should take a trip,

To the Sodom and Gomorrah of the Mississip'

New Orleans!

Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile,

New Orleans!

Putrid, brackish, maggotty, foul,

New Orleans!

Crummy, lousy, rancid and rank,

New Orleans!

[Introduction of Blanche DuBois played by Marge]

HLHelen Lovejoy as Stella

[To Blanche] [In a New Orleans accent] What's the matter, honey? Are you lost?

MAMarge as Blanche

[In a New Orleans accent] I'm looking for my sister, Stella.

[In the audience] It's mom!

[Homer, Bart and Maggie look up to see Marge is now on stage]

BBlanche

My name is Blanche DuBois.

[singing] I thought my life would be a Mardi Gras...

A never-ending party... [pause] Ha!

I'm a faded Southern dame without a dime...

Apu as Steve the paperboy I am collecting for the evening star.

BBlanche

Come here, I wanna kiss you just once... softly and sweetly...on your mouth...

[singing] I am just a simple paperboy, no romance do I seek..

I just wanted forty cents, for my deliveries last week...

Will this bewitching floozy...

Seduce this humble newsie?

Oh, what's a paperboy to... doooooo?

[Blanche kisses him] Woo-hoo!

["Stanley's torment" musical number]

NANed as Stanley

[yelling] Stella! STELLLAAAA!

[singing] Can't you hear me YELLA!

You're puttin' me through HELLA! Stella... STELLLAAAA!

[Blache flies around the stage in anguish surrounded by red fog and lasers]

[in the audience] Cool! She can fly!

I think it's supposed to symbolize her descent into madness

[Closing number]

BBlanche

Whoever you are, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers...

[song begins]

CChorus

You can always depend on the kindness of strangers, to pluck up your spirits, and shield you from dangers.

BBlanche

Now here's a tip from Blanche you won't regret.

CChorus

[waving good-bye to Blanche as she exits stage right on a motorized streetcar prop]

A stranger's just a friend you haven't met.

You ha-ven't met...

Streetcar!

[The curtain falls on the performance and the audience cheers wildly while giving a standing ovation]
