[hide]Synopsis[edit]
- "Marge becomes director of Springfield's local theater and directs Lisa's script for Bloody, Bloody Jebediah. Meanwhile, Homer joins a baby class with Maggie, where he takes a liking to supervisor Chloe."
Plot[edit]
At the Springfield Playhouse, Llewellyn Sinclair is auditioning for an Oklahoma! rehearsal, with Marge also participating. Meanwhile, Homer takes Maggie to the Springfield Kid Kennel, where they meet supervisor Chloe and discover the reason for the long line to get in—her striking attractiveness.
The rehearsal falls apart when Sinclair's attitude turns everyone against him, leading to his expulsion. The cast begins to destroy the set, but Marge intervenes and stops the chaos. She takes on the role of director, but she needs a production that fits Springfield, so Lisa proposes a parody musical about Jebediah Springfield, inspired by Hamilton.
At the Kid Kennel, Homer remains distracted by Chloe. Meanwhile, Lisa prepares the script and Marge dresses up for the occasion, stopping by Moe's Tavern for a drink before heading to the theater. The musical is titled Bloody, Bloody Jebediah and will be broadcast by Krusty, filmed outdoors in the city.
Sideshow Mel drops out of the role of Jebediah, leaving Marge in a bind. At the Kennel, Chloe leaves with one of the other fathers, Berry, and Homer realizes that Maggie's favorite part of the class was spending time with him. Marge holds auditions for a new lead and discovers Professor Frink has a beautiful singing voice reminiscent of Josh Groban, only to learn rain is forecast during the performance.
During a commercial break, the rain begins, and John Lithgow, portraying Jebediah's bear, starts sinking into a puddle. Lisa quickly improvises an ending, and the play becomes a success. As the crowd applauds Marge, she emerges from the production van and is swept away by water.
At the awards ceremony, Sideshow Mel wins Outstanding Lead Performance in a Play or Musical. Despite Marge's play receiving ten nominations, it wins none. As Sinclair begins to taunt her, she is unexpectedly awarded Best Newcomer.
Production[edit]
It was scheduled to air on April 28, 2019, but was moved to April 7, 2019 in place of "The Incredible Lightness of Being a Baby".[1][2]
