Plot[]
The Drama Club puts on a production of Romeo and Juliet. At first, everyone is disinterested, but upon learning cool eighth-grader Craig Bean is playing Romeo, every girl in the school auditions for the role of Juliet.
Cissy gets the part, and Pepper Ann gets the part of the nurse. But then Cissy loses a contact lens and can't read the teleprompter, so Pepper Ann gets to play Juliet.
The only problem? She can't get out of her nurse's costume!
Quotes[]
Craig: Uh, but soft. What blocks the light through yonder window? |
Cissy: I promise to forget the little people on my way up! |
Pepper Ann: It is not thy juicebox, but thy name that is my enemy! |
Milo: What should I do with this shrub? Holding it is inhibiting my juice intake. |
Moose: Uh, Peppie? You're scarin' me again. |
The Desk Gag[]
"Ooh, five bucks!"
Trivia[]
- In the episode's original airing, Pepper Ann said about auditioning, "Don't worry, I won't. Drama sucks," after scoffing, but in Toon Disney airings, the scene slightly quickens and omits the words "drama sucks", replacing it with another scoff. Oddly, a subsequent scene where Moose says to Pepper Ann, "I thought you said drama sucked?" was left intact. In the Disney+ version, the scene is restored.
- During the dream sequence of Pepper Ann wearing a fat suit, She looks like the Michelin Mascot.
- The little fish girl is a parody of The Little Mermaid.
Goofs[]
- When Pepper Ann asks Ms. Stark who's playing Romeo, Ms. Stark's head turns twice when she turns to look at Pepper Ann.
- During the scene where all the girls run towards the audition list upon learning Craig is playing Romeo, an adult female teachers is seen in the crowds, despite the play is only for students.
