[CARMEN (spoken)]
Jessica Cranshaw will never be better than she was this evening

[BOBBY (spoken)]
But she was horrible

[CARMEN (spoken)]
I know. But she'll never better. She's dead
That was the hospital on the phone. In terms of future performances, Jessica Cranshaw now has a conflict

[GEORGIA (spoken)]
Chris, do you want to say something to the company about Jessica?

[BELLING (spoken)]
Shall we all observe a moment of silence?
To match the audience's response to Jessica's first number?

[AARON (spoken)]
Chris!

[BELLING (spoken)]
Oh, all right. Jessica was part of our company and now we part company
I'm sure we shall all remember her in our thoughts and in our resumes
And now as thespians, I know you'd like to express your sorrow
Both as a tribute and as an acting exercise
