A collection of embarrassing dance moves? Spoiler alert: it’s worse than all of that!
Act II: The Reveal of the Past
Poppy: “Pray, tell me, dear Tronco, what dark clouds haunt thy heart?”
Tronco: “Alas, my love! I once was part of a boy band, the ‘Bard Buddies,’ and my dance moves are but a shadow of my former self!”
As it turns out, Tronco has a notorious history as a pop star in a boy band that has long since disbanded. His shameful past is unveiled through a series of hilarious flashbacks, revealing his embarrassing attempts at fame.

Tronco: “But what if they’ve all moved on, or worse, become successful?”
Determined to help her love, Poppy embarks on a quest to reunite the ‘Bard Buddies,’ leading to a series of comical encounters with the band members, each more eccentric than the last. They include a diva who’s taken up yodeling, a troll who thinks he’s a motivational speaker, and another who’s convinced he’s the reincarnation of a famous rock star. The hilarity ensues as Poppy learns that the path to rekindling old flames is paved with awkward reunions and cringe-worthy karaoke sessions.
Act IV: The Grand Performance
Tronco: “Together we shall rise, like the phoenix from the ashes of my boy band career!”
Poppy: “And we shall sing of love, friendship, and the power of glitter!”
