The orchestra finishes warming-up and gets quiet...
The theater goes dark...
A large single spotlight shines on the stage...
...
...
A dark hole appears in the center of the spot light, creating just a ring of light, a halo.
The halo gradually shrinks in size and slowly moves towards the back of the stage. As the dark curtain almost unnoticably opens, the halo light passes between the curatins, reaches the backdrop and makes its way up towards the ceiling.
The halo light stops at the top of the backdrop and lingers...
Then it disappears from sight.
...
...
...
The black backdrop is lifted to reveal a woman with long brown hair sitting gracefully on the ground, wearing a simple, but brilliantly white, dress. She is also wearing two large feathery wings, and a bright shining halo. An Angel.
She stands and on her feet are ballet slippers. Heavenly music begins to float from the orchestra and she begins a very graceful and fluid dance. An Angelic dance... alone.
...
Her dance continues for several minutes, very angelic.
Then she is joined by another Angel. This Angel has long blonde hair and blends her dance with the first's in a sort of harmony of movement.
...
The two and then joined by a third, this Angel with long black hair. The duo easily becomes a trio of blended dance.
...
The dance begins to evolve into something a little more dramatic. The brunette Angel steps toward the backdrop, while the blonde and black-haired Angels step toward either side. The each exit off the stage...
...
The brunette Angel returns. She is carrying a blue shining symbol and dancing near the back of the stage.
The blonde Angel returns. She is also carrying a blue shining symbol, but is dancing near the left side of the stage.
The black-haired Angel returns and dances with her symbol near the right of the stage.
...
Then the music builds. The Angels all begin to run to the center of the stage...
They collide in a crash of cymbals and symbols! The stage goes dark and silent.
...
A single note is sustained as the small halo light reappears at the top of the backdrop.
...
It makes its way back down slowly to the stage as it gradually grows to its original size, and the curtains closed behind it.
...
When it reaches its starting point in the center of the stage, it makes a perfect ring around the symbol left there after the collision.
This symbol:
The halo light becomes a spotlight again, and illuminates the shining symbol...
...
...
The three Angels return to the stage each now wearing a new symbol. The brunette, an eyepatch. The blonde, a polka-dot tie. The black-haired, a pair of sunglasses.
...
They converge up on the symbol and it begins to slowly rise into the air. The spotlight and their eyes follow it upwards until it has risen out of sight.
...
...
Suddenly, all of the stage lights burst on and the orchestra explodes into a loud and lively song. The dark curtains open to reveal 29 more Angels, each wearing their own unique symbol, dancing under the flashing lights and singing a medley of Angel-themed songs.
The three original Angels pick up the dance and the 29 join them in a fantastic, spectacular, spendiforous finale that got the entire audience on their feet dancing and singing along.
The whole thing ended with incredible pyrotechnics and various Angel suspended in the air from wires or dancing on the stage. When the final chord struck and the dancers took their ending postions, a man in tuxedo suddenly appeared in the midst of the Angels.
No one was quite sure who he was, but he strangely familiar somehow. The audience's loud cheers were stiflied as they strained to make out the face of the mysterious man. Whispers wafted through the theater, but no one had a guess as to who the handsome fellow was.
"Salutations Angels, Johnnys, and welcomed guests," he addressed the crowd, "it is lovely to be here hosting the 1st Annual Johnny's Angels Awards Show tonight. Some of you may not recognize me, but it is I, Gabriel, your faithful computer operated everything. And these lovely ladies," he said, indicating the dancing Angels behind him, "are the Fembot Ballet Troupe. Give them another hand for their balletic interpretation of the creation of JA, won't you?"
At their sudden comprehension, the crowd applauded their approval of Gabe's new look and the fembots' surprising talent for performing. This was indeed going to be a night to remember.
