- God, this ceiling is gorgeous.
I never even looked at it before.
- That ceiling was open.
- During "Cats" it was open?
- Yeah.
- No one's ever been up there since, huh?
Well, maybe we gotta change that.

- [Leslie] So, Rob, you're leaving.
(Rob sobbing)
- [Leslie] Rob.
- I love you, Kritz.
- [Leslie] You're going on to do a big part
in "Mrs. Doubtfire," and
- Yeah, it's weird!
It's weird.
I'm not ready.
- [Leslie] And what is it like.
Yeah, is this the first time you've left a show
and it's been like?
- In 20 years of doing this professionally,
it's the first time I've ever left a show ever.
- And so when you found out this was happening,
which is a big deal.
It's a big show.
It's a big deal.
The writers, the creators are from "Something Rotten!".
He's gonna be amazing.
We're all gonna go to the movie.
Come on, he's the Robin Williams part.
It's exciting, but it's also hard at the same time.
- So bittersweet.
It doesn't feel, some of the fans at the stage door
and stuff were like, "It's so quick."
And it is quick, but they have to take into account
we've done workshops and we've done Washington, DC.
So my journey with "Beetlejuice"
is like a year and a half long at this point.
So, it's not.
- [Leslie] You came in without a baby.
You came out with a baby.
- That's true.
I started "Beetlejuice" without a child,
and now I have a child, exactly.
What does make it feel too short is that
"Beetlejuice" is really exploding in a wonderful way,
and to see the fans and their stripes
with their green lipstick waiting at the Stage Door
and the volcano that's happening under the show.
- [Leslie] We're gonna miss you.
- I'm gonna miss you guys.
- And we have David Josefsberg who's coming in
who's gonna be amazing.
- Always.
Literally, like. - So funny.
- I can't wait to come back and see the show
with David in it.
A, I've never seen the show.
- [Leslie] You've never seen the show!
- And B, David is among the funniest people we know, right?
- I mean, it's time for Rob to carry another show,
and that's why we're so excited for him.
- Aww.
- [Leslie] And it's like to see you're so good in this,
but you're gonna be so good in that, too.
- It's such a hard thing, you know, the career planning.
"Mrs. Doubtfire" all of a sudden
was ready, and it was like, "Whoa."
- [Leslie] We were all, we were like, "Wow, it's ready soon!
- We did this reading, and it was really kind of incredible.
All of a sudden, it was like not only is it happening
but it's happening.
Like we're going to Seattle now.
I also just wanna say that the "Beetlejuice" fans,
you have been so absolutely delightful.
Thank you for your stripes.
Thank you for your fan art.
Thank you for the love you throw at us every night.
I will take it with me to the next show,
and keep throwing it at these people.
They deserve it. - Yay.
We love you, Rob.
- Love you, too.
- Congrats on your next thing.
- Thank you. - Yay!
- Hey, Fran, can I join ya?
- Sure.
- Hey, you know, I wanted to ask you something.
Shelly was telling me the other day about the roof,
the attic, you know, the Heaviside Layer.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- She said not to go up there, but
I dunno, I mean do you think it's that dangerous?
I kinda wanna go see what's up there.
- Well, go ahead.
You know we only live once.
Go and have a discovery.
Have fun.
- Really?
- Yeah, we only live this one time.
- All right.
(toilet flushing)
Oh, wow!
You guys like to really capture everything
on this vlog, don't ya?
Do this and then.
(cellphone ringing)
We're gonna do some.
Someone's calling me.
(cellphone ringing)
It's Betty Buckley.
Maj, listen, I snuck into this local Mexican restaurant
because I'm really, I heard through the grapevine
that you're thinking and planning,
considering doing some very dangerous things.
You cannot, you cannot go up into the attic
or that extra room that was built at the Winter Garden.
It's just not, no.
Just control your curiosity.
Just remember that curiosity killed the cat.
Honestly, Maj, don't do it.
This is your old friend, Betty Buckley.
I'm sending you love, but please hear me, okay?
Thanks, (kissing) bye.
- I know that, but you gotta explain to me more.
I just, I don't wanna!
She hung up on me.
You know what?
It's time to seize the day-o.
It is time to seize the day-o!
It's the Heaviside Layer.
(door rattling)
(metal dinging)
Wow, holy shit.
Oh, that's where Betty Buckley used to come.
Wow!
Did you hear that?
(tapping)
Do you smell something?
(tapping)
This is crazy.
(tapping)
Do you hear that?
My flashlight's not working right.
It stopped working.
Did we get turned around?
I don't.
God, it's really.
Oh, there it goes.
Really hot.
(shrieking) Oh, my gah!
Are those cats?
Oh, God!
Go, go, get outta here!
Oh, God, oh!
I fell, I fell!
(cats hissing)
(Maj screaming)
Oh, my gah.
They're released into the theater.
They just ran out.
We gotta figure this out.
We gotta go get 'em.
(cellphone ringing)
Who's calling?
It's Ken Page.
Ken Page is calling me.
- Hello, Maj.
Listen, I don't have much time.
This is Ken Page, but that's beside the point.
I just wanna tell you do not, whatever you do,
go into the attic of the Winter Garden Theatre.
- Yeah, well, no shit, Sherlock.
Let's go.
(door rattling)
(panting) Okay, okay.
Betty told me not to go up there.
Ken told me not to go up there, late.
We gotta make this right.
Let's go get 'em.
Hi, Fran.
- Hi, Maj.
- There are cats loose in the theater,
and Betty Buckley and Ken Page
told me not to go up there, and I went up there anyway,
and now they're released, and I don't know what to do!
- I have one bit of advice for you.
May the force be with you.
- We gotta find 'em.
We gotta find 'em.
The house is gonna open so soon.
Hey, Reggie!
Reggie, have you seen any cats?
- No.
- All right, shit, all right.
Oh, there's a cat!
There he is, Skrimmelcrat.
Is that Skrimmelcat?
Oh, my goodness, Rumpelstiltskin!
Oh, God, oh, God, they're everywhere!
They're everywhere!
Oh, no!
Lurino cat and Carbucketive cat and Bamblorino,
and what do you want?
What do you want?
(cats meowing)
I know what you want.
You wanna dance!
