Extraordinary, but No One There to See
- On opening night, Miranda realizes that not one single person close to her is in the audience.
- She knows she's good—really good—but what's the point if no one you care about comes to see you?
- Then she sees the Pullman family taking their seats in the auditorium, and suddenly Miranda pretends to be sick, telling her teacher there is no way she can go on.
- Olivia is summoned. She has to get into costume and onto the stage so quickly that there isn't even time for Miranda to answer her when she asks, "Why are you doing this, Miranda?" (7. Extraordinary.33).
