=== Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band version ===
==== Intermission 1 ====
* (An eight-minute countdown plays, accompanied by the Chuck E. Cheese's versions of "Footloose", "Simply Irresistible", and "The Rhythm of the Night")
==== Video Break 1 (Dressing Room) ====
* (The Dressing Room title card appears. "Future Tech" plays throughout the scene.)
* Chuck E. (o/s): Remember, Crusty, we gotta try and show some courtesy to our guests.
* (Cut to the band in robes and ascots, doing their makeup, combing their hair, etc.)
* Crusty: I still can't believe this. My first show back with you guys, and one of our guest stars is a hippie. He knows it's not the late 1960s anymore, doesn't he?
* Jasper: Apparently not.
* Helen: At least I don't have to do this cheerleader schtick anymore. It got pretty stale after the '90s.
* Munch: So, Chuck, when do I get that pizza?
* Chuck E.: You can wait 'til after the show, Munch.
* Pasqually: Well, I for one-a hope I can tell a few-a great jokes tonight.
* Harmony: Pasqually, ya're the worst comedian Ah've seen, period. Ah ain't gonna mince words here.
* Jasper: You tell 'im, Harm. But his pizza is the best in the world, so there's that.
* Helen: Is my makeup good enough?
* Chuck E.: Sure is. (Helen giggles)
* Harmony: Ah ain't no expert myself, but yeah.
* (A knock is heard)
* Zapp (o/s): Guys, you ready?
* Chuck E.: Yeah, we're ready. Come on, let's go.
* (Fade to black. The 10-second countdown plays, followed by the SPT Feature Presentation intro.)
==== Segment 1 ====
*(The music starts as the Stage Right curtain opens. This only applies to the Redux 3-Stage version)
*Zapp: Ladies and gentlemen, we proudly present an exciting musical revue, with your merry-making master of ceremonies, Chuck E. Cheese!
*(The Chuck E.'s Stage curtain opens to reveal Chuck E.)
*Chuck E. (Redux 3-Stage version): That's me, Chuck E. Cheese! Ha-ha, your host with the most. But even with that star behind me (synth chime sound), I am not the star of the show. You are! 'Cause the magic only happens when we all get together!
*Chuck E. (Rocker Stage and Studio C version): That's me, Chuck E. Cheese! Ha-ha, your host with the most. But even though this place is called Chuck E. Cheese's, I am not the star of the show. You are! 'Cause the magic only happens when we all get together!
*(The Center Stage curtain opens to reveal Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band, singing "Together We Got It" from the 1989 Concept Unification premiere showtape; two monitors on either side of the stage show footage of the animatronics, and the two monitors above the stage show a shot-for-shot remake of the Cyberstar footage for the Concept Unification premiere.)
*Helen: We can feel the magic now that you're here
*Pasqually: Together we'll make the good times right here
*Munch: And when it comes to keeping the groove
*Entire band: We're Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band and we're gonna make you move We've got it, together we've got it We've got it, together with you (Pasqually: Yeah!) We've got it, together forever The fun has just begun
*Chuck E.: This band is number one!
*Entire band: Together we've got it, Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band and you!
*Jasper: Put your hands together
*Chuck E.: Mr. Munch is tickling the keys!
*Munch: Ha ha ha ha! Put your hands together
*Chuck E.: Crusty T. Cat is jamming with ease!
*Crusty: (brief guitar solo) Keepin' the beat together
*Chuck E.: Pasqually P. Pieplate makes some delicious tunes!
*Pasqually: (brief accordion playing, laughing)
*Chuck E.: Harmony Howlette drums just her way!
*Harmony: (brief drum solo, howling)
*Chuck E.: Jasper T. Jowls, strumming away!
*Jasper: (brief banjo solo, laughing)
*Chuck E.: And with Helen Henny's guitar skills, the band fulfills!
*Helen: Chuck E. Cheese is throwing you a party today!
*Entire band: We've got it (Jasper: We've got it), together we got it We've got it, together with you (Jasper: Woo!) We've got it (Jasper: We've got it), together forever
*Munch: Now that we're together...
*Chuck E.: Things couldn't be better.
*Entire band: Together we've got it Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band and you! We've got it (Jasper: We've got it), together we've got it We've got it, together with you (Pasqually: It's-a happening!) We've got it (Jasper: We've got it), together forever
*Pasqually: It's-a great to be together!
*Chuck E.: It's really quite a pleasure.
*Entire band: Only together...
*Chuck E.: I think we've got it!
*(Applause is heard as the Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band logo is shown on the Cyberstar monitors)
* Chuck E.: Thank you, everyone! And thank you, Wolfman Zapp, for that introduction. Welcome to Chuck E. Cheese's, where a kid can be a kid! Now, as you can see, we're making a few small changes to the structure of our shows. First off, we're no longer Munch's Make-Believe Band. We're Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band now. Second, of course, is Crusty T. Cat, and he's our new lead guitarist and manager. He was my straight man from the beginning, when I was a complete jerk. He was fired back in '78 for going communist.
* Crusty: I'm glad I was the worst communist in the world, man. I was calling people the Proletariat even though I was one myself.
* Chuck E.: Anyway, it's been many years since he was fired, and since then, he wised up and realized that communism is bad. He became our new agent and manager after our last one got kicked out by our new bosses.
* Crusty: For the record, I had to work hard to earn you guys' contract. Roll the clip!
*(After a 3-2-1 countdown, the Cyberstar monitors show footage of Crusty and the band's former manager with a nickel, with an old film filter)
*Former manager: Alright cat, heads means they're mine, and tails mean they're yours. Got it? (Crusty nods) One, two, three!
*(The nickel lands on tails)
* Crusty: Yes! Tails for me, baby!
*Former manager: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
*Crusty: Guess Lady Luck wasn't on your side.
*(The Cyberstar monitors go back to the standard splash screen)
* Jasper: Worked hard, huh?
* Crusty: Alright, so I had to get lucky. But I did join a new band called Bowling for Fish, you oughta meet my other bandmates sometime, and I used some of those royalties to buy a bankrupt talent agency at a great deal. You're looking at the owner of San Jose Talent Management, renamed to Crusty Talent Management for branding purposes. After creating a foundation I used some of my money to buy this giant mansion.
*Chuck E.: How rich are you anyway?
*Crusty: Last year alone I took in $1.2 billion from real estate. Flip some property and you'll see what I mean. And I even bought the San Jose Swingers a couple years ago.
* Jasper: Wait, you mean the legendary San Jose Swingers? Your old baseball team?
*Crusty: And Swingers Stadium.
*(The other band members are amazed)
* Chuck E.: Wow. I mean, wow. Anyway, Crusty's not the only one we brought back. Yes, all of us are on stage again! No longer will I be going solo while the rest of us are on these monitors.
* Munch: Why did they only put you on Studio C anyway?
* Helen: Apparently they wanted to save money. 
* Chuck E.: That's true, Helen. We've also brought back Bird, the Warblettes, Munch Jr., Pizzacam, the Singing Flowers, the Mopsey Sisters, the Building and the Moon. They're all here. 
*Reggie: Did I mention my name's Reggie?
*Chuck E.: Huh. Didn't know that.
*Reggie: Yeah, I kinda never got around to telling you my name. But you guys know that now.
*Chuck E.: Anyway, that's not all the changes we've made.
* Helen: Yeah, they gave me my own bass guitar. I can finally jam with you guys now.
*Pasqually: And they gave-a me back my accordion.
*Jasper: And my banjo. I always preferred that to the guitar.
* Chuck E.: Anyway, what I wanted to tell you all is that, to fill Pasqually's drumming role we brought in another member some of you may be familiar with, from the old days. So ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back the cowgirl who gathers more posse than Jesse James, Miss Harmony Howlette!
* (Everyone gives Harmony an ovation)
* Harmony: Thank you, thank you. So nice y'all gave me such a kind welcome. Our new bosses wanted another female member to balance it out a bit more, so they called me back n' Ah took it. Ah got da drums n' everythin'.
* Chuck E.: Alright, thanks, Harmony. Anyway, you all may have noticed that I'm speaking with my natural Jersey accent again. The new bosses let me. And one more thing: for the first time since 1983, we're also using rotating guest stars!
* (The rest of the band cheers)
* Chuck E.: The reason guest stars were gone was because, let's face it, Pizza Time Theatre was in real financial trouble and had to cut costs.
*Helen: Yeah, that's exactly why I joined full-time all these years ago. I was the guest star then.
*Chuck E.: And that was before ShowBiz Pizza Place bought out and merged with us. Now that we're under new leadership, there will be even more variety on our shows in the future. Now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the first of our two guest stars for tonight, Mr. Steve Waters!
* (One of the six stage curtains opens to reveal Steve Waters. In the Studio C version, he simply appears on the monitors.)
* Steve: Whassup, dudes? 
* Jasper: Oh no...
* Steve: It sure is groovy to be here at Chuck E. Cheese's! Yes, everyone, I am super duper excited to be right here on this far-out stage! I am so, so, so delighted!
*Crusty: Uh, dude, you're in 2012, not 1968. You know that, don't ya?
*Steve: It's part of my awesome schtick, man! Now let's rock on and have an exquisite time!
* (Steve sings "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys)
* Steve: Thank you! You are all so groovy, each and every one of you!
*Chuck E.: We'll be right back with some more great tunes in a few minutes! See ya then!
*Helen: Buh-bye!
*Jasper: See ya soon!
*Pasqually: See you later!
*Munch: Let's go get some pizza.
*Harmony: Come back soon, okay?
*Crusty: Bye bye!
* (The Wink and its jingle play as the curtains close. The Studio C version simply shows the Wink on the monitors.)
==== Video Break 2 (CEC TV News) ====
*(The segment begins with the CEC TV News opening, showing Chuck E. and Crusty getting ready)
*Zapp: Spanning the globe...
*Chuck E.: Aw, shoot, I forgot my tie.
*(Cut to the CEC TV News intro)
*Zapp: It's time for CEC TV News! Featuring newshound Jasper T. Jowls, plucky reporter Helen Henny, sporty howler Harmony Howlette, foreign correspondent Pasqually P. Pieplate...
*Pasqually: Ciao! Heh heh!
*Zapp: ...and Mr. Munch, taking care of the leftovers.
*Mr. Munch: Did somebody say "chow"?
*Zapp: Take it away, Chuck E. and Crusty!
*(Chuck E. and Crusty appear at a news desk in puppet form)
*Chuck E.: Thanks, Zapp! Hello, everybody! Welcome to CEC TV News. And as you can tell...
*Crusty: ...we're back!
*Chuck E.: Heck yeah!
*(Chuck E. and Crusty high-five each other)
*Chuck E. and Crusty: Ha ha!
*(A graphic saying "Welcome Back ShowBiz!" is shown next to Chuck E., along with the ShowBiz logo)
*Chuck E.: Our first story: Welcome back to ShowBiz Pizza Place! Yeah, as you probably know already, after over 20 years, the first ShowBiz opened at San Jose, California back in November. ShowBiz Pizza Place was a beloved pizza chain founded in 1980 as a competitor to Pizza Time Theatre. However, when the 1990s rolled out ShowBiz corporate forced out the Rock-afire Explosion for us. But don't worry, our new bosses have brought back both the ShowBiz brand and the Rock-afire after all these years!
*Crusty: We've surely missed them for so long. Ain't that right, those of you in the audience who grew up with ShowBiz?
*Chuck E.: Now here is our newshound Jasper T. Jowls with Rock-afire creator Aaron Fechter. Jasper?
*(Cut to Jasper interviewing Aaron Fechter at Fechter Creative Engineering headquarters in Orlando, Florida)
*Jasper: Well, Chuck E., I'm standing at the Fechter Creative Engineering building with Aaron Fechter. Quite a bit of work has been goin' on. Mr. Fechter?
*Aaron: You can call me Aaron.
*Jasper: Right. Aaron, I take it you're remodeling the place?
*Aaron: That's true, Jasper. When Tim talked with me he suggested I have this building remodeled so it could handle our increased workload.
*Jasper: What plans do you have for the building next to this one?
*Aaron: It's going to be a Fechter Creative Engineering museum and a ShowBiz, both in one building. But I am going to do some expansion on this main building. We plan on designing many new projects in the next several years.
*Jasper: I want to wish you luck, Aaron, and back to you, Chuck E. and Crusty.
*(Cut back to Crusty in the studio, and a graphic saying "Pasqually Back in Opera" appears next to him.)
*Crusty: In other news, Pasqually will be getting back into doing operatic songs.
*(Cut back to Chuck E. and Crusty in the studio)
*Chuck E.: Thanks, Helen. And now our last story. (A graphic saying "Hannah Banana coming back?" appears) Hannah Banana, the mascot for a now-defunct chain of family entertainment centers in the UK, is joining the Rock-afire Explosion for British ShowBiz locations. Here is our foreign correspondent Pasqually P. Pieplate with Hannah. Pasqually?
*(Cut to Pasqually and Hannah Banana in front of a brick wall with a potted plant)
*Pasqually: Well, Chuck, I'm-a standing here with Hannah Banana. So Hannah, how do you feel about your big-a comeback?
*Hannah: You know, Pasqually, I'm excited to be back. It used to be me, Billy Bob, and Looney, but now the rest of the band has agreed to come over to the UK to perform.
*Pasqually: And how are you doing?
*Hannah: Doing great. I get to have all the bananas and sweets I want.
*Pasqually: Good. I'm-a glad you're happy here. Chuck?
*(Cut back to Chuck E. and Crusty in the studio)
*Chuck E.: Thanks, Pasqually. That's all the time we have for CEC TV News.
*Crusty: Join us next time for some more exciting stories!
*Chuck E.: Good night!
*(Chuck E. and Crusty get off their chairs and walk out of the stage, and the CEC TV News logo reappears as the stage goes dark)
*Announcer: This has been CEC TV News! We're back, baby!
==== Intermission 2 ====
====Segment 2====
*Chuck E.: Hey, everybody, and welcome back to our show. Before this next song, we're gonna introduce our backup singers. There's quite a lot of them. You probably know some of their names by now from our last segment, so we'll get to know them more. Pizzacam?
*Pizzacam: (clears throat) I left the group in 1998 because I became a libertarian and accused us of selling out. But I suppose that's what happens when a company goes public. I was still seen in some locations, but only because they didn't bother to remove me until years later. Then Mr. Johnson offered me a huge amount of money to return, and I accepted.
* Chuck E.: Alright. And how about you, Reggie?
* Reggie: I didn't last long, either. When Studio C was created I was going to be your sidekick while the others were gonna be removed. That didn't happen, so I flew around for a while for some odd jobs to pay the bills before taking up a job as a game show host. I didn't last long because it turned out my voice annoyed too many contestants. Eventually I mated a female bird and had some children, and then I took a singing career. Now here I am, right back here, even if the surroundings are different.
*Chuck E.: Okay then. Warblettes?
*Wendy: I'm Wendy.
*Whitney: I'm Whitney.
*Wilma: And I'm Wilma.
*Wendy: When we were replaced by the Singing Flowers, we ended up going on tour and were a huge success.
*Whitney: Until that one incident involving a wardrobe malfunction.
*Wilma: We ended up becoming less talked about than Tiffany, and that's saying something.
*Wendy: We went off the music scene and went our separate ways. I took a job as a judge, and got my own show that ran for a couple years. I didn't have the edge of Judge Judy.
*Whitney: I became a stock-car driver. Won a bunch of races before my sponsor pulled a massive scam and my money dried up.
*Wilma: And I acquired a restaurant. Sold it in 2011 and retired.
*Wendy: Then one day, we decided to get together for a reunion tour. We ended up a massive success, and we're back!
*Chuck E.: Now you, Building and Moon.
*Moon: Well, I was already a part of the Rock-afire. Then I joined Munch's Make-Believe Band out of convenience. I happened to stay with both all these years.
*Building:
*Chuck E.: Alright, now the Mopsey Sisters.
*Mary:
*Melody:
*Mopsey:
*Chuck E.: And as for the Singing Flowers...
*Singing Flower: Well...
*Singing Flowers: We got kicked out 'cause they wanted A new direction! We've done flower product commercials And had a lot of actioooooonnnn!
*Munch: Why are they singing all their lines?
*Chuck E.: It's in their contract, Munch. And now, ladies and gentlemen, here's our next song.
*(The band performs "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)")
*Steve: By the way, guys, have you met my funky family?
*Chuck E.: No, Steve, why?
*Steve: Well, I got them on speaker.
*(Steve takes out his old-fashioned phone and calls his family)
*Mr. Waters (o/s): Hello?
*Steve: Daddy!
*Crusty: Before we return, Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber have a special message for you guys and gals out there in the audience.

*(Crusty looks at the camera) 
*Crusty: Oh, hi! So you're here, huh? Well, come on in. 
*Crusty Jr.: Who's that, daddy?

*Helen: Hello and welcome! I'm so glad you're here because I'm ready for my first celebrity interview in, uh... (Helen turns to her left) Gus, how long has it been, anyway?
*Gus (o/s): About 19 years.
*Helen: Wow, that long? (Helen turns back to the audience) Anyway, today I'm interviewing this funny talk show host some of you may recognize on TV. Ladies and gentlemen, Conan O'Brien!
*(The monitor fades to reveal Jasper, wearing a suit and a Conan-style wig)
*Helen: Wait, you're not Conan O'Brien.
*Jasper: Oh, uh, (in a bad Conan impression) I believe I am.
*Helen: I know it's you, Jasper.

*(The Stage Right curtain opens to reveal Chuck E.)
*(3-Stage, Road Stage, and 2-Stage version)
*Chuck E.: That's me, Chuck E. Cheese! Ha-ha, your host with the most. But even with the star behind me (synth chime sound), I am not the star of the show. You are! 'Cause the magic only happens when we all get together!
*(1-Stage version)
*Chuck E.: That's me, Chuck E. Cheese! Ha-ha, your host with the most. But even though this place is called Chuck E. Cheese's, I am not the star of the show. You are! 'Cause the magic only happens when we all get together!
*(The Center Stage curtain opens to reveal Munch's Make-Believe Band, singing "Together We Got It" from the 1989 Concept Unification premiere showtape; the monitors show the animatronics)
*Helen: We can feel the magic now that you're here
*Pasqually: Together we'll make the good times right here

*Pasqually: (laughs)
*Chuck E.: And with Helen's vocalizing, there's no disguising!

*Entire band: Only together...
*Chuck E.: I think we've got it!
*(Applause is heard as the Munch's Make-Believe Band logo is shown on the Cyberstar monitors, before fading back to Crusty)
* Chuck E.: Thank you, everyone! And thank you, Wolfman Zapp, for that introduction. Welcome to Chuck E. Cheese's, where a kid can be a kid! Now, as you can see, we're making a few small changes to the structure of our shows. First off, of course, is Crusty T. Cat, and he's our new manager. He was my straight man from the beginning, when I was a complete jerk. He was fired back in '78 for going communist.
* Crusty: I'm glad I was the worst communist in the world, man. I was calling people the Proletariat even though I was one myself.
* Chuck E.: Anyway, it's been many years since he was fired, and since then, he wised up and realized that communism is bad. He became our new agent and manager after our last one got kicked out by our new bosses.
* Crusty: For the record, I had to work hard to earn you guys' contract. Roll the clip!
*(The Cyberstar monitors show footage of Crusty and the band's former manager with a nickel)
*Former manager: Alright cat, heads means they're mine, and tails mean they're yours. One, two, three!
*(The nickel lands on tails)
* Crusty: Yes! Tails for me, baby!
*Former manager: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
*Crusty: Guess Lady Luck wasn't on your side.
*(The Cyberstar monitors go back to the standard splash screen)
* Jasper: Worked hard, huh?
* Crusty: Alright, so I had to get lucky. But I did join a new band called Bowling for Fish, and you should meet my other bandmates sometime, and I used some of those royalties to buy a bankrupt talent agency at a great deal.

* Chuck E.: Wow. I mean, wow. Anyway, Crusty's not the only one we brought back.
* Pasqually: Really, Chuck?
* Chuck E.: Yes, Pasqually. You all may have noticed that I'm speaking with my natural Jersey accent again. The new bosses let me. And for the first time since 1983, we're also using rotating guest stars!
*(The rest of the band cheers)
* Chuck E.: The reason guest stars were gone was because, let's face it, Pizza Time Theatre was in real financial trouble and had to cut costs. Helen practically joined by default, since she happened to be at all our locations. And that was before ShowBiz Pizza Place bought out and merged with them. Now that we're under new leadership, there will be even more variety on our shows in the future. But I digress. Now ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Steve Waters!
*(The left monitor fades in to reveal Steve Waters)

== Trivia ==
* This showtape marks the first of many notables:
** The first main showtape produced at Johnson Studios, though the principal voices were still recorded in Texas and Department 18 Productions was still involved in producing the shows.
** The first showtape performed on the Rockstar Stage.
**The first showtape with the Chuck E.'s Pizza Time Band name instead of Munch's Make-Believe Band. The latter name is used on separate versions of future tapes on 3-Stage, 1-Stage, 2-Stage, and Road Stage setups (as well as the final Rocker Stage in Rockford, Illinois) until the Concept Division process was completed in 2014; said versions are edited to remove Harmony and reassign her songs to other characters, as well as accommodating Chuck E. and Helen's lack of instruments, Jasper's guitar, and Pasqually's drums; Crusty, the guest stars and backup singers are shown on the Cyberstar monitors as puppets (with the exception of Steve Waters, who is shown as a live-action human).
** The first major showtape to feature Crusty (now named Crusty T. Cat) since 1978 and Harmony Howlette since 1981. Crusty was repurposed as the band's lead guitarist and manager, as well as a foil/sidekick for Chuck E. to bounce off of; his nickname for Chuck E., "Big C", was also brought back. Harmony was also repurposed as a drummer for the band, with her tomboyish brute personality contrasting the very feminine Helen.
** The first showtape to feature Wolfman Zapp, the band's announcer and stage manager and the mascot of a short-lived bar/grill chain also founded by Nolan Bushnell, and Treggie Twang, the band's sound effects and special effects engineer.
** The first showtape with curtain signals for new segments since the September 2005 showtape, as well as the first with house lights signals since September 2006.
** The first showtape with new CEC TV News and Helen Henny's Hollywood segments since the 1990s.
**The first showtape with Jasper on the banjo and Pasqually on the accordion since 1991. Pasqually's high-class personality was brought back as well.
** The first showtape to use the Warblettes since the mid-1980s. They're still crows, but are also redesigned (Wendy is the Warblette in red, Whitney is in yellow, and Wilma is in blue).
**The first showtape to use the Mopsey Sisters since 1979; they're also redesigned and given names (Mary, Melody, and Miley).
** The first showtape with Bird in a major role since the Fabulous World Adventure show in 1999. His name is also revealed to be Reggie.
** The first showtape with Pizzacam in a speaking role (not counting announcer voices programmed with Pizzacam on 3-Stage setups).
** The first showtape with the voice of Scott Wilson (former voice actor for Chuck E. and Munch) since September 1993 (now voicing Wolfman Zapp), as well as Karlisa Burleson since April 2000 (reprising her role as Helen) and Stephanie Nadolny (the voice of Helen from 1994-1996) since the April 1996 show (currently voicing the Building and Treggie Twang). Annagrey Wiechman, who had provided Helen's speaking voice since September 2000 and her singing voice since April 1992, was recast as Harmony.
** The first showtape to feature a jingle for the Wink since January 1994 (not counting a one-off return in May 2011); the 1991 Wink jingle was brought back.
** The first showtape to feature the CEC TV News, Geography Rap, and Helen Henny's Hollywood segments since the 1990s and 2000s.
** The first showtape to use rotating guest stars since the Broadway Helen Henny showtape in 1983; in this case, Steve Waters and Madame Oink are the guest stars.
** The first Studio C showtape to use animatronic characters (shot on a Redux 3-Stage) rather than puppets since September 2009, with the puppets only being used in intermissions.
** The first 3-Stage showtape programmed by Fechter Creative Engineering rather than Department 18. CEI would program all remaining 3-Stage shows until the final 3-Stage was retrofitted back into the Rock-afire Explosion in 2014.
* Beginning in this showtape, Jaret Reddick (Crusty T. Cat), Joe Leahy (Mr. Announcer), Christopher Sabat (Pizzacam), Kate Bristol (Wendy Warblette), Tia Ballard (Whitney Warblette), Taylor Fono (Wilma Warblette), Stephanie Sheh (Mary Mopsey), Kira Buckland (Melody Mopsey), and Clarine Harp (Miley Mopsey) join the voice cast. Sabat previously voiced Munch in the 1999 direct-to-video film Chuck E. Cheese in the Galaxy 5000.
* Due to being made with the Rockstar Stage in mind, this showtape was altered in the Studio C and Existing Stages versions, which have Steve Waters on a monitor; the latter version removes all references to the backup singers.
*The opening for this show was first shown as a hidden preview at the end of the January 2012 showtape for Cast Members.
