Olga is an eccentric, gothy Hollywood star probably modeled on Theda Bara. She wears this sparkly spiderweb dress to a red-carpet event. I don’t even know what’s up with that headdress, but it’s … quite something!
Running into this on my dash was like running into an old friend
Thats just what theater kids are like
What I’ve always loved about this bit is
a. this musical number comes completely out of nowhere, with no greater context than what this video captures; and
b. the language instructor clearly can’t hear the music. He’s not from Musical Theatre Land. From his perspective, a couple of twinkle-toed weirdos just randomly decided to physically abuse him for three solid minutes. This isn’t reading anything that’s not intended into the scene – it’s literally the central gag.
