Synopsis

The dancers finally dance the chorus number for an unnamed and unseen star. They are all wearing uniforms so it is impossible to tell them apart. The uniqueness that made them all so interesting throughout the show has now been damaged by the reality of show business.

CityBeat described the song as "the show’s greatest emotional wallop". The Davis Enterprise dubbed it the show's "signature tune".
