"Opening Night: Myrtle must confront her inner demons, her fear of aging, and her inability to distinguish between her own life and her stage persona to pull off the show." link

Myrtle fails to show up on time for her call on opening night. When she finally arrives, Myrtle is so drunk that she can barely stand. With the audience growing restless, director Manny Victor demands the show go on. Myrtle struggles through the show's opening scenes, collapsing before her entrance and again on stage. As the show continues, Myrtle finds something of a rhythm. By the end, she and Maurice go off script and improvise the play's final act, to the producers' chagrin and the audience's rapturous applause.

I wonder if the sticker is still on a monitor when they tour now?
