- Lizzy, this mask is way too big.
It blocks my beautiful face
and makes it impossible to breathe.
- Light 25, go.
Kai, it's your costume.
Deal with it.
- Noah doesn't have to wear his mask.
It's not fair.
- Noah is Raoul, you're the Phantom.
Now, let me do my job.
- I would have made a much stronger Raoul.
His voice doesn't have half the range of mine.
- Kai, get lost.
- [Kai] Can you believe she wants to cover all this?
- [Noah] You jumped on my harmony.
- You were on the wrong mark.
- And the lighting cues were wrong too.
- You were both amazing.
Remember, this is just dress rehearsal.
- I can't work like this. (sighs)
- I've been dreaming about being Raoul my whole life.
I just want it to go well.
Delia!
Delia, sweetie, can we talk about the

- [Brian] Printing out all these programs
is not very earth-friendly.
Not to mention the cost.
- Every theater production has a program, Brian.
But the Earth thanks you for your concern.
- Respectfully Headmaster Chloe,
I think that the theater is a sinkhole in our budget.
- The theater alumni actually donate a lot and hey,
it's safer than most of our athletics.
- Help, Noah's hurt in the theater!
Call 911!
- Drama queens.
- The actual play is supposed to go up on Friday night.
This was just dress rehearsal.
I was so excited for Crown Lake to do "Phantom."
- Well, thank you for the information.
And if I need anything else, I'll let you know, okay?
So talk me through what was supposed to happen.
- At the end of Act One,
I go up to the catwalk and release the chandelier.
I don't know what happened.
It came down at the completely wrong time.
- I can't believe he went back out there.
It should've been me. (cries)
- [Sheriff] And it usually crashes on the stage?
- No, it's supposed to stop.
I checked the whole rig last night.
- And how many people had access to that?
That girl up there.
Can I speak to her?
- Delia?
- Yeah.

- She's not the most reliable witness.
- Okay.
Well, it doesn't seem like there was any foul play.
Just an accident.
But we will have to do a thorough investigation

- [Karina] Lizzy.
- Now's not a great time, Karina.
- I just need a quick statement
for my article on Noah's death.
- He's not dead.
- Anything you'd like to say about the incident?
I know you thought quite fondly of Noah.
- Yeah, we all did.
- Mhmm.
Would anyone want to hurt Noah?
- What?
No, the theater's a family.
- Is it possible Kai may have wanted to hurt Noah?
I know they competed for roles.
- Karina, you're cray.
And clearly just looking for a juicy story.
(birds chirping)
- [Woman On Intercom] Doctor Forest dial 118 please.
Doctor Forest, please dial 1-1-8.
(machine beeping)
- (sighs) Could someone have done this to you?
(phone dings)
(mysterious music)
O, M, G.
- What are you doing?
- Mikey!
What are you doing here?
- I could ask you the same thing.
- I'm just paying my respects.
- By snooping through his phone?
- I was looking for clues.
I need to know how this happened.
- Well, did you find anything?
- What's it to you?
- He's my lab partner.
We're a thing.
- Noah isn't gay, he dates Tuesday.
- Dated.
- Whatever.
I know the truth.
- Now let me see.
Oh my God.
- I know.
- I would've made a much stronger Raoul.
His voice doesn't have half the range of mine.
- So you think.
- Kai did this.
- What are you two doing here?
Only family is allowed.
- Relax, we're leaving.
(camera clicks)
I'll grab him, we'll make a citizen's arrest.
- Wait, no!
I know Kai, just follow my lead.
Don't literally follow me.
- What are y'all doin' here?
- We need to talk to you about Noah.
Where were you when the chandelier fell?
- Here, why?
- Did you want anything bad to happen to Noah?
- Like the chandelier smushing him?
Nah.
- You think this is funny?
Won't be so funny when you're locked away in prison.
- Oh, that was good.
- Oh my God, he's getting a gun.
- Duck!
- Will you two chill?
I mean, did I like Noah, no.
But I never wanted him dead.
And frankly I find the insinuation quite insulting.
- Then how do you explain these texts?
- We're dramatic, we mess with each other.
Scroll further back and you'll see he was just as mean.
- Checks out.
- See?
Now can we talk about me taking over his role though?
- Well, that was a disaster.
You were supposed to help me question him!
- I'm a shortstop, not a detective!
- We never even got his alibi!
- [Kai] Yeah, (laughs).
No.
- Hide!
- [Kai] I mean, it is my time to shine.
- Maybe he's on the phone confessing.
Or talking to his hit man.
- Should be follow him?
- Okay, yeah for sure.
What's that?
They are?
Guys, don't hide.
My fans wanna say what's up.
Look, it's my Live.
Say hi.
- You're doing a live story?
- What up yo?
- [Lizzy] You're doing a live story?
- What up, yo?
- Can you please stop watching that?
It's embarrassing.
- I think it's funny!
- [Kai] Guys, you don't gotta hide.
- It's pretty presumptuous to think people care
what you're doing that much.
- Four total views.
- What up yo? - And one is his mom.
- [Kai] Guys, you don't gotta hide.
My fans wanna say what's up.
I'm on Live.
- Wait.
He did a story this morning.
- Can you believe she wants to cover all this?
- [Lizzy] That was right after he complained to me
about the mask.
- I think the mask is kinda hot.
- Shut up.
- Yo, who said in 2020 Phantom can't evolve?
He got laser surgery, removed his scar and
(chandelier crashing) (people yelling)
- [Lizzy] I think we got his alibi.
- On the bright side, we're going viral.
- [Lizzy] You're doing a live story?
- [Mikey] What up yo?
- (sighs) Maybe it was just an accident.
(intercom beeps)
- [Delia] I might have some information.
- God?
- No idiot, it's Delia.
(hip hop music)
- Party time in the clerb, huh?
- What?
I was trying to fix the broken fog machine.
- And I'm straight.
- Zip it.
Tell us what you saw, Delia.
- Right before the chandelier fell, RIP Noah.
- He's not dead.
- Right before it fell, I saw someone on the catwalk.
That's why I missed that last cue that got Noah so mad.
Ri--
- Don't.
- Come on, Lizzy.
Do you really think she's reliable?
I mean, the fog?
- I know what I saw.
There's no way that was an accident.
(machine beeps) (intense music)
- [Lizzy] Next up on "Stage Fright."
The investigation has concluded
and authorities had determined it was an accident.
- How do we know that the chandelier rig
didn't malfunction on purpose?
- Ooh, the Phantom of Crown Lake, ooh.
- The expectations for this show are through the roof.
That's a lot of pressure.
- Theater kids thrive under pressure.
