Segment 1

 * Crusty: From Chuck E. Cheese's, it's showtime! This is Crusty the Cat inviting you to join Pasqually P. Pieplate, Jasper T. Jowls, Mr. Munch, Helen Henny, with special guest star Steve Waters, and Big C himself, 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, our manager and DJ who uses the stage name "DJ Crust-3". 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: I'm glad I was the worst Communist in the world, man. 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. But I did get rich by selling some Soviet flags to other communists, and I used that money to buy a bankrupt talent agency at a great deal. You're looking at the owner of San Jose Talent Management, renamed to Crusty Talent Management for branding purposes. After creating a foundation I used some of my money to buy this necklace here and a 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. And a giant mansion, too. All legit though, don't worry.
 * Chuck E.: How rich are you anyway?
 * Crusty: Last year alone I took in $1.2 billion from real estate. Flip some property and you'll see what I mean. And I even bought the San Jose Swingers in 2011.
 * Jasper: Wait, you mean the legendary San Jose Swingers? Your old baseball team?
 * Crusty: And Swingers Stadium.
 * (The other band members are amazed)
 * Chuck E.: Wow. I mean, wow. 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: Big C'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.: We'll be right back with a new song, but first, here's a new edition of CEC TV News. Yes, we haven't done this in a while, but it's back.

Intermission 1 (CEC TV News)

 * (The segment begins with the CEC TV News opening, showing a spinning globe)
 * Mr. Announcer: Spanning the globe...
 * (Cut to the CEC TV News intro, with clips from Munch's Make-Believe Band, The Rock-afire Explosion, and Ho-kago Tea Time performances in the background.)
 * Announcer: It's time for CEC TV News! Featuring newshound Jasper T. Jowls, plucky reporter Helen Henny, foreign correspondent Pasqually P. Pieplate...
 * Pasqually: Ciao! Heh heh!
 * Announcer: ...and Mr. Munch, taking care of the leftovers.
 * Mr. Munch: Did somebody say "chow"?
 * Announcer: Take it away, Chuck E. and Crusty!
 * (Chuck E. and Crusty appear at a news desk in puppet form)
 * Chuck E.: Thanks, Mr. Announcer! Hello, everybody! Welcome to CEC TV News. And as you can tell...
 * Crusty: ...we're back!
 * (Chuck E. and Crusty give a high-five. A graphic saying "Welcome Back ShowBiz!" is shown next to Chuck E., along with the ShowBiz logo)
 * Chuck E.: Our first story: after years of inactivity, ShowBiz Pizza Place is back! That's right, after the last locations in the US were converted into Chuck E. Cheese's in 1992, and apart from a few locations in Guatemala and the Middle East continuing to operate for a bit, the ShowBiz brand was otherwise dormant. However, our new bosses are bringing back ShowBiz.
 * Crusty: And The Rock-afire Explosion. Can't forget them, Big C. Now here is our newshound Jasper T. Jowls with Rock-afire creator Aaron Fechter. Jasper?
 * (Cut to Jasper interviewing Aaron Fechter at Creative Engineering headquarters in Orlando, Florida)
 * Jasper: Well, Crusty, I'm standing at the Creative Engineering building, and as you can see, quite a bit of work is goin' on. Mr. Fechter?
 * Aaron: Aaron is fine.
 * Jasper: Right. Aaron, I take it you're remodeling the place?
 * Aaron: That's true, Jasper. For years it was a mess. Only a few people working on shows and Looney Bird's Lab, and on some days it seemed like I was the only employee. Then I ended up hiring more for projects such as the Starlauncher and the AnimeTronic technology, and when Tim talked with me he suggested I have this building remodeled.
 * Jasper: What plans do you have for the building next to this one?
 * Aaron: It's going to be a Creative Engineering museum and a ShowBiz, both in one building. But I am going to do some expansion. We plan on designing new projects in the next several years.
 * Jasper: I want to wish you luck, Aaron, and back to you, Chuck E. and Crusty.
 * (Cut back to Crusty in the studio, and a graphic saying "Ho-kago Tea Time Comes to ShowBiz?" appears next to him, with a picture of the band itself.)
 * Crusty: In other news, word is that ShowBiz is teaming up with Kyoto Animation for a new project currently in the works involving Ho-kago Tea Time from the anime K-On!. Wait, what?!
 * Chuck E.: Investors from the Japanese Isles felt the Rock-afire Explosion was, and I quote, "too American for Japanese audiences".
 * Crusty: Only 15% of those states still speak Japanese, last I heard.
 * Chuck E.: Mr. Johnson told me that apparently, those investors wanted a product that originated in the Japanese Isles for those locations.
 * Crusty: I see. Anyway, here's Helen Henny with keyboardist and frontwoman Tsumugi Kotobuki. Helen?
 * (Cut to Helen interviewing Mugi in the Light Music Club)
 * Helen: Crusty, I'm standing at the Light Music Club with Tsumugi.
 * Mugi: Please just call me Mugi. Tsumugi is so...clunky.
 * Helen: Right. Mugi, tell us about Ho-kago Tea Time's plans for ShowBiz.
 * Mugi: Well, the four of us, including myself, Yui, Ritsu, and Mio, are fresh out of college. We decided we don't want some boring desk job in a cubicle farm, so we immediately decided to break into the mainstream music scene. It took, I think, three days after our graduation to find work here at ShowBiz. The one thing we're on the fence about is having to wear our old high school uniforms. I mean, don't get me wrong, it'll be nice to have a nice, consistent appearance across the whole band, and Mio's just glad Ms. Sawako is still back at ol' Sakura High and not working in ShowBiz's wardrobe department. But...I can't help but feel the uniforms make us look too young, you know? People will think we're still in high school, they won't know the chronological place, that kinda stuff.
 * Helen: What can we expect from the stage setup?
 * Mugi: Basically the same as in the Lower 48, except the girls and I will be on Center Stage in a reproduction of the Light Music Club room we're currently standing in. The side stages will be the exact same, meaning Smitty's Super Service Station and...whatever Rolfe and Earl's stage is supposed to be will still be around. A club, maybe?
 * Helen: Alright. And I've heard that there will be a new bakery for the Japanese ShowBiz locations, and that you're in charge.
 * Mugi: That's right, Mugi's Bakery! All the fresh-baked goods you could ever want, at low, low prices! All made using old Kotobuki family recipes! Recipes that are so closely-guarded, people have been killed trying to steal them.
 * Helen: Uh...okay. Sounds like a rip-snortin' good time. Back to you, Chuck E. and Crusty.
 * Ritsu (o/s): Did you REALLY just say rip-snortin' good time UNIRONICALLY?!
 * (Cut back to Chuck E. and Crusty in the studio)
 * Chuck E.: Thanks, Helen. And now our last story. (A graphic saying "Hannah Banana coming back?" appears) Hannah Banana, the mascot for a now-defunct chain of family entertainment centers in the UK, is joining the Rock-afire Explosion for British ShowBiz locations. Here is our foreign correspondent Pasqually P. Pieplate with Hannah. Pasqually?
 * (Cut to Pasqually and Hannah Banana in front of a brick wall)
 * Pasqually: Well, Chuck, I'm-a standing here with Hannah Banana. So Hannah, how do you feel about your big-a comeback?
 * Hannah: You know, Pasqually, I'm excited to be back. It used to be me, Billy Bob, and Looney, but now the Rock-afire has agreed to come over to the UK to perform.
 * Pasqually: And how are you doing?
 * Hannah: Doing great. I get to have all the bananas and sweets I want.
 * Pasqually: Good. I'm glad you're happy here-a. Chuck?
 * (Cut back to Chuck E. and Crusty in the studio)
 * Chuck E.: Thanks, Pasqually. That's all the time we have for CEC TV News.
 * Crusty: Join us next time for some more exciting stories!
 * Chuck E.: Good night!
 * (Chuck E. and Crusty get off their chairs and walk out of the stage, and the CEC TV News logo reappears as the stage goes dark)
 * Announcer: This has been CEC TV News! We're BAAAAAAAACK!

Segment 2

 * Chuck E.: That was "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys! Before our next song, we're gonna introduce our backup singers. There's quite a lot of them. You know their names by now, so we'll get to know them more. Pizzacam?
 * Pizzacam: (clears throat) I left the group in 1998 because I became a libertarian and accused us of selling out. But I suppose that's what happens when a company goes public. I was still seen in some locations, but only because they didn't bother to remove me until years later. Then Mr. Johnson offered me a huge amount of money to return, and I accepted.
 * Chuck E.: Alright. And how about you, Bird?
 * Bird: I didn't last long, either. When Studio C was created I was going to be your sidekick while the others were planned to be removed. That didn't happen, so I flew around for a while for some odd jobs to pay the bills before taking up a job as a game show host. I didn't last long because it turned out my voice annoyed too many contestants. Eventually I mated a female bird and had some children, and then I took a singing career. Now here I am, right back here, even if the surroundings are different.
 * Chuck E.: Okay then. Warblettes?
 * Bluebell: I'm Bluebell.
 * Sunflower: I'm Sunflower.
 * Rose: And I'm Rose.
 * Bluebell: When we were replaced by the Singing Flowers, we ended up going on tour and were a huge success.
 * Sunflower: Until that one incident involving a wardrobe malfunction.
 * Rose: We ended up becoming less talked about than Tiffany, and that's saying something.
 * Bluebell: We went off the music scene and went our separate ways. I took a job as a judge, and got my own show that ran for a couple years. I didn't have the edge of Judge Judy or Judge Mills Lane.
 * Sunflower: I became a stock-car driver. Won a bunch of races before my sponsor pulled a massive scam and my money dried up.
 * Rose: And I acquired a restaurant. Sold it in 2011 and retired.
 * Bluebell: Then one day, we decided to get together for a reunion tour. We ended up a massive success, and we're back!
 * Chuck E.: Now you, Sun and Moon.
 * Moon: Well, I was already a part of the Rock-afire. Then I joined Munch's Make-Believe Band out of convenience. I happened to stay with both all these years.
 * Sun: Wish I could say the same for myself. We both have different voices because we're the Sun and Moon, so we can change personalities and voices when we want. Hold on. (clears throat and switches to Burt Wilson's voice) This is my voice for my Rock-afire outings. (back to Stephanie Naldony's voice) Just like that.
 * Chuck E.: And as for the Singing Flowers...
 * Singing Flowers: We got kicked out 'cause they wanted A new direction! We've done commercials And had a lot of actioooooonnnn!
 * Munch: Why do they sing every one of their lines?
 * Chuck E.: It's in their contract, Munch. Now our next song is "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M.
 * (The band performs "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)")
 * Steve: By the way, guys, have you met my funky family?
 * Chuck E.: No, Steve, why?
 * Steve: Well, I got them on speaker!
 * (Steve takes out his old-fashioned phone and calls his family)
 * Mr. Waters (o/s): Hello?
 * Steve: Daddy!
 * Crusty: Before we return, Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber have a special message for you guys and gals out there.

Segment 3

 * Chuck E.: Welcome back to our show. Our next song is gonna be about--
 * Jasper: Wait, doesn't the name "DJ Crust-3" sound familiar?
 * Crusty: Well, of course it does, Jasper. I was inspired by a world-famous DJ.
 * Pasqually: What's his name?
 * Crusty: Technically she's a girl. (sighs) Okay, she's DJ Pon-3 from My Little Pony. Her real name is Vinyl Scratch.
 * Jasper: You mean to tell me... that you're a brony? (laughs) A DJ that likes ponies? Come on!
 * Chuck E.: Don't shame him, Jasper. He can like whatever he likes.
 * Jasper: Okay, sorry. Heh. Just never expected that, is all. I mean, it's not like Princess Celestia is gonna-- (everyone looks at Jasper, who sighs) Okay, so I'm a brony too. The door is now open.
 * Crusty: Remind me to super-glue your mouth shut when the show's over, alright? I'm kidding, I'm kidding. (Crusty and Jasper laugh)
 * Jasper: I guess I was trying to look cool, is all. Seems I make Helen look butch.
 * Helen (laughs): It's true!
 * Chuck E.: To those of you who're watching this show in the audience, please do not judge bronies. It's not cool.
 * Munch: You tell 'em, Chuck!
 * Pasqually: Hear hear!
 * Crusty: Anyway, our next song is "King Tut" by Steve Martin.
 * (The band performs "King Tut" by Steve Martin)

Intermission 3 (The Crusty Show)

 * (The Crusty Show intro plays)
 * Crusty: My name is Crusty And this is my house Meet my family Beth is my spouse Those are my beautiful children And my pets Some friends of mine No one's spoon-fed In my businesses Everyone knows me They always do The best they can be! (spoken) You're watching the Crusty Show! Ha ha ha.
 * (Cut to an exterior shot of Crusty's mansion, then to the living room, where Crusty's playing Jenga with his son Crusty Jr. and his daughter Lexi.)
 * Crusty, Crusty Jr. and Lexi: Oh....... (Jenga tower falls over) JENGA!!!
 * (Crusty looks at the camera)
 * Crusty: Oh, hi! So you're here, huh? Well, come on in.
 * Crusty Jr.: Who's that, daddy?
 * Crusty: Just our audience. As I said in the theme song, these are my kids, Junior and Lexi.
 * Crusty Jr.: Hi, audience!
 * Lexi: Hi, audience!
 * Crusty: Let me show you around.
 * (Cut to Crusty in his office)

Intermission 4 (Helen Henny's Hollywood)

 * (The Helen Henny's Hollywood intro plays)
 * Chuck E. (o/s): It's time again for the chicken who's checking out the stars, Helen Henny's Hollywood!
 * (Fade to the studio, where Helen's sitting on a chair)
 * Helen: Hello and welcome! I'm so glad you're here because I'm ready to find some stars. Chuck E.?
 * (Chuck E. appears on the bigscreen behind Helen)
 * Chuck E.: Helen, I'm standing here at the TCL Chinese Theatre, where many big premieres are held.

Segment 1

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), and voicing Crusty's son Crusty Jr., using a high-pitched voice. 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 (Bluebell is the Warblette in the green dress, Sunflower is in the red dress, and Rose 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 Mr. 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 Dever (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.
 * The opening for this show was first shown as a hidden preview at the end of the January 2015 showtape for Cast Members.
