List of ShowBiz Pizza Place 40th anniversary showtapes (Johnsonverse)
This a list of showtapes that were used at ShowBiz Pizza Place locations in celebration of the chain's 40th anniversary in 2020. The tapes featured The Rock-afire Explosion in their outfits and setting from the scrapped "Magic" stage from 1985.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the original plans were drastically changed. The shows were instead live-streamed on YouTube, with the animatronics being filmed at the San Jose, California location, which serves as the flagship location for the revived ShowBiz Pizza Place chain. A new showtape called "Hard Times" was also produced, with the voice actors recording via Zoom.
