This the finale of the show, which therefore requires a huge level of commitment to the singing, as it needs the 'wow factor' at the end, much like the opening. The finale also counts as the bows, paying respects to the cast and crew and production team that put this production together.
It opens with Tom, singing to the audience, as the narrator once again explaining what has just been "witnessed". Soon the entire cast joins in, making it a powerful performance of vocals. Each cast member holds a plant pot, referencing the narrative at the end which explains Audrey II's expansion and subsequent takeover of Earth!
Each cast member also has a section where they bow in the song, making it equal for all performers. My particular bow comes after the solo lines, starting with mine and finishing with Meg. After her line, we wait four counts, and bow as a four (myself, Meg, Kyle and Dan).
There is minimal choreography as the finale is aimed at having a strong vocal performance, but on the line "and this theatre", everyone jumps and holds a 'High School Musical'-esque pose. This emulates the 'cheesy' factor from this show, and highlights the casts enjoyment of the song and the performance as a whole.
