Segment 1

 * Crusty: From Chuck E. Cheese's, it's showtime! This is Crusty the Cat inviting you to join Pasqually the chef, Jasper T. Jowls, Mr. Munch, Helen Henny, with special guest star Steve Waters, and your favorite mouse, Chuck E. Cheese!
 * (The curtains open to reveal the characters, who play "All Star" by Smash Mouth)
 * Chuck E.: Thank you, everyone! And thanks for the introduction, Crusty! Welcome to Chuck E. Cheese's, where a kid can be a kid. We're making a few changes to the structure of our shows. First off, the guy who gave the introduction? That's Crusty the Cat. He was my straight man from back when I was a total jerk. He was fired very early into our history for being a Communist.
 * Crusty: And I was the worst Communist in the world. I was calling people the Proletariat despite being one myself.
 * Chuck E.: Anyway, it's been about 37 years since he was fired, and during that time, he wised up and realized that he would never be a good commie. He became our new agent and manager after our previous one got fired for forcing us to do inferior shows to the ones we did back in the late 90s and 2000s.
 * Crusty: For the record, I had to work hard to earn you guys' contract. Roll the clip!
 * (The Cyberstar monitors show footage of Crusty and the band's former manager with a coin)
 * Former manager: Alright cat, heads means they're mine, and tails mean they're yours. One, two, three!
 * (The coin lands on tails)
 * Crusty: YES! I GOT TAILS!
 * Former manager: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
 * Crusty: You poor, poor man. Now give me their contract.
 * (The Cyberstar monitors go back to the standard splash screen)
 * Chuck E.: Coin toss, huh?
 * Crusty: Alright, so I had to get lucky.
 * Chuck E.: Fair enough. Anyway, Crusty's not the only one we brought back. Yes, all of us are on stage again! No longer will I be going solo while the rest of us are on these monitors.
 * Munch: Why did they only put you on Studio C anyway?
 * Helen: Apparently they wanted to save money.
 * Chuck E.: That's true, Helen. We've also brought back Bird, the Warblettes, Munch Jr., Pizzacam, the Singing Flowers, and the Moon. They're all here. And the Sun, too. But that's not all.
 * Pasqually: Really, Chuck?
 * Chuck E.: Yes, Pasqually. For the first time since 1983, we're also using rotating guest stars!
 * (The rest of the band cheers)
 * Chuck E.: The reason guest stars were gone was because, let's face it, Pizza Time Theatre was in a precarious financial situation and had to cut costs. Helen practically survived by default, since she happened to be at all our locations. And that was before ShowBiz Pizza Place bought out and merged with them. Now that we're under new leadership, there will be even more variety on our shows in the future. So ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Steve Waters!
 * (The Stage Right curtain opens to reveal Steve Waters)
 * Steve: Whassup, dudes? It sure is groovy to be here at Chuck E. Cheese's!
 * Jasper: Oh no...
 * Steve: Yes, everyone, I am super duper excited to be right here on this far-out stage! I am so, so, so delighted!
 * Crusty: Chuck's old self from the 2000s was timeless compared to you. You know that, right?
 * Steve: It's part of my awesome schtick, man! Now let's rock on and have an exquisite time!
 * (Steve Waters sings "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys)
 * Chuck E.: That was "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys! Before our next song, we're

Trivia

 * This showtape marks the first of many occurrences:
 * The first showtape produced at Johnson Studios, though the principal voices were still recorded in Texas and Department 18 Productions was still involved in producing the shows.
 * The first showtape performed on a Rockstar Stage.
 * The first showtape to feature Crusty the Cat since 1978, as well as the first showtape with the voice of Duncan Brannan (who was the voice of Chuck E. from 1993-2012 and had voiced Munch, Jasper, and Pasqually at various points in the 1990s) since the April 2012 showtape; he took over as Crusty's voice, using a voice reminiscent of his Chuck E. voice from his early showtapes (with a New York accent in lieu of a New Jersey one) while returning as Bird and Larry the Technician (between 2012 and 2014, Larry was voiced by an unknown actor). Crusty was repurposed as the band's DJ and manager, as well as a foil/sidekick for Chuck E. to bounce off of. His nickname for Chuck E., "Big C", was also revived.
 * The first showtape to use the Warblettes since the mid-1980s. They're still crows, but are also redesigned (Daisy is the Warblette in the green dress, Maisy is in the red dress, and Irma is in the blue dress).
 * The first showtape with Bird in a major role since the Fabulous World Adventure show in 1999.
 * The first showtape with Pizzacam in a speaking role (not counting announcer voices programmed with Pizzacam on 3-Stage setups).
 * The first showtape to use the most well-known show format (using cover songs and original songs with skits showing the band chatting) since the April 2014 show, as well as the first since that show to use separate versions for Studio C and Existing Stages, with a Rockstar Stage version also being made. A proposal to adopt a new format (which would've only used single original songs represented by music videos mixed with skits) was rejected.
 * The first showtape with the voice of John Bowen (the voice of Munch from 1999-2014) since the Spring 2014 show, though he voices the Moon due to Chris Hill replacing him; Bowen uses the same voice and personality he previously used for Munch. It's also the first with Stephanie Nadolny since the April 1996 show, in which she did Helen's singing voice (she also did the speaking and singing voice of Helen from the 1994 Spring Break show until the 1995 Holiday show).
 * The first showtape to feature the CEC TV News, Geography Rap, and Helen Henny's Hollywood segments since the 1990s.
 * The first showtape to use a rotating guest star since the Broadway Helen Henny showtape in 1983; in this case, it is Steve Waters.
 * Beginning in this showtape, Joe Leahy (Mr. Announcer), Kate Bristol (Wendy Warblette), Caroline Richardson (Whitney Warblette, also voicing Helen Henny beginning in the March 2016 show), Tim Deever (Pizzacam), and Taylor Fono (Wilma Warblette) join the voice cast.
 * Due to being made with the Rockstar Stage in mind, this showtape was altered in the Studio C and Existing Stages versions, which have Steve Waters on a monitor.
 * The Jasper puppet is given a brown Stetson hat starting in this showtape, marking the first time since the Avenger era in which he has a hat.
 * The Steve Waters animatronic was created by Walt Disney Imagineering, and its movements are accomplished through motion capture.
