When you realize that this is just a play and want to leave the stage…
You'll soon discover that there is nothing aside from Sparkle's stage.

Sparkle:
It doesn't matter who I am offstage.

(“Sparkle” Premiere Performance)

All the audience needs to know is—

Female Stage Crew:
Every seat is sold out.

Male Stage Crew:
Check all the lights. — And check them again.

Sparkle:
— that when I'm on stage… I'm just Sparkle.

It's you, my beloved mask.
When I'm happy, you're smiling too.
When I'm angry, you're still smiling.
When I'm sad, you keep on smiling.

You're like a veil that I can hide under.
The one wearing the veil — that's Sparkle.

(“Sparkle” Showing No. 99)

It's you, my beloved mask.
When I'm happy, you're smiling too.
When I'm angry, you're screaming too.
When I'm sad, you're crying too.

You're like a mirror, showing my reflection.
The one in the mirror — that's Sparkle.

(“Sparkle” Showing No. 990)

It's you, my beloved mask.
When I'm happy, you're screaming.
When I'm angry, you're crying.
When I'm sad, you're smiling.

You're like a face, staring at me.
I… I'm not Sparkle.

No, I am Sparkle.

So, when I realized life was just a play, I wanted to leave the stage.
Because offstage… There's an even bigger stage.

What do you say?

Who's the real Sparkle?
