DAVID

MADONNA

RON

MADONNA

ALL THREE

[RON grabs MADONNA; they tango. RON spins her to
DAVID and exits. Suddenly, MADONNA rips her dress
off, revealing a sexy Merry Widow with tassels dangling
from the breasts. Under it, she wears fishnet stockings.
She uses the dress to play bullfighter with DAVID as the
bull, then throws the dress offstage.]

MADONNA

[Flexing.]

Justify my love!

DAVID

Justify your acting!
[Aided by DAVID, MADONNA leaps atop the piano on
her knees and throws a few bumps, then slides down
to end with a leg in the air as DAVID slides to the floor,
hands in the air. ]

BOTH

"Phantom of the Musical"

[Loud organ music. A pulsating disco beat. Lights upon
a cloaked, masked figure, his cape spread like a bat. A
chandelier lurks above. He steps forward. ]

OFFSTAGE CHORUS

PHANTOM

[He crosses right and drags out a terrified WOMAN in a
wedding dress. ]

SHE
