The crowd jostles and presses as they approach the big theatre doors, struggling to get into the already choked entryway. Sitting atop the awning that leads into the building, Discord leans back, chuckling uproariously as he watches. He is holding a giant popcorn kernel, pulling paper bags out of it and eating them.
"Mahahahahaha! Wonderful! There's nothing like watching people get all worked up just to watch a show! Ooh, look at that! What do you get when two bronies get rough with Cherry Jubilee? Two kicks in the cobbler! Hehehahahaha!"

Bluenose and Yellowbelly, the prankster changelings, creep out onto the stage, pushing a speaker. With one ceremonious gesture, Bluenose plops a speaker wire into the input, causing the audio system to come to life.

The theatre is bustling once again, but something seems different about it today. As you pass into the foyer you see the gleam of new panelling, smooth, dull silver, like the entire theatre has had a makeover. Gone are the old fashioned wooden moldings, replaced by sleek, futuristic metals, while soft, cream colored carpets now cover the floor where ratty old red ones used to be.
Pinkie Pie and Applejack sit at the concession stand, eagerly grinning at the sight of all of you, immediately springing into action as hungry ponies and bronies rush up to place orders.

The excitement of the theatre is practically tangible as crowds of excited ponies and bronies bustle through the doors, searching for their seats as the stage crew goes about their last preparations before the show. Spotlights sweep across the stage as Derpy attempts to get them focused upon the stage, yet continually misses, blinding random people in the audience. Pumpkin and Pound Cake come crawling through the big red curtains, giggling happily as they are pursued by a flustered looking Scootaloo.
"Come back here, you rogues!" She squeaks in frustration, then leaps at Pumpkin Cake, only to find herself floating a
