There’s a huge, shiny, phallic trophy and I want it. I sing “You’ll see”. I don’t lip-sync, I sing. It’s my thing. I have no monitor! I gesture to the sound guy. I try to make the gesturing into a dance move. He doesn’t get it. I forget my choreography. Now I’m singing out of key and trying to make up dance moves. I forget the lyrics. I kick the monitor. My heel breaks. I try to walk off, but suddenly my leg gives. I fall. My dress tears. The audience laughs. Then Madonna appears to me in the wings: MADONNA SPECTACLE AS MADONNA, WHISPERING Madonna Spectacle... you don't need anyone at all! MADONNA SPECTACLE I have a flash of inspiration, and as I drag my sorry drag-queen ass off the stage, I shout: MADONNA SPECTACLE, SHOUTING, TEARY EYED AND BROKEN* I know I'll survive I know I'll stay alive! MADONNA SPECTACLE They love me! They think it’s a comedy routine. I don’t get the trophy. I’m a genius. I’m not. I just have a really cool guardian angel.
