Get Crazy

On December 31, 1982, the Saturn Theater buzzes with last-minute preparations for a big New Year's Eve concert. Max Wolfe oversees the preparations, with stage manager Neil Allen coordinating the crew and Willy Loman lurking in the wings. The air is thick with anticipation and tension as the staff readies the show.

Colin Beverly offers Max a lucrative buyout of the theater’s lease, hoping to clear the way for his own venue. Max refuses the deal, arguing over the theater’s independence and his long history with the venue. The confrontation leaves Max furious and ultimately triggers a sudden heart attack.

Sammy, enticed by Beverly's promise of inheriting the Saturn, begins covertly sabotaging the building to force Max's signature. He sets a basement fire and cuts the fire hose, escalating danger behind the scenes. His actions aim to pressure the deadline before midnight.

King Blues opens the show on stage, kicking off the lineup with two classic numbers and setting a lively mood for the countdown. The performances build energy in the sold-out Saturn Theater as the night unfolds. The audience reacts with growing excitement and anticipation for the arrival of midnight.

Nada Band follows with a high-energy set, performing 'I'm Not Going to Take It No More.' The relentless pace further fuels the show's electric atmosphere. The crowd responds with enthusiasm as the night presses on toward the next acts.

Piggy delivers a viciously punk version of 'Hoochie Coochie Man' on stage, complete with dramatic stage dives and slam dancing. The performance intensifies the chaotic vibe of the night. The audience roars in approval as the spectacle escalates.

Reggie performs 'Hot Shot,' a brash celebration of egotism, before launching into his own rendition of 'Hoochie Coochie Man.' The crowd basks in the swaggering energy of the set. The moment cements the show’s edgy, rebellious mood.

Sammy plants a bomb inside the rocket ship that Max is slated to ride during the final countdown. The act adds a dangerous edge to the night's culminating moment. As midnight approaches, the staff remains largely unaware of the looming threat.

Willy overhears Mark and Marv discussing the bomb and is captured, locked in Colin Beverly's limousine trunk. She escapes when the limo collides with Auden's taxicab, triggering a frantic chase back toward the theater. The sequence heightens the sense of peril behind the scenes.

She returns to the theater and warns Neil about the bomb. The warning raises the tension as midnight nears, and crew members scramble to secure the venue. The clock ticks closer to a dangerous, decisive moment.

The bomb is passed from person to person through the crowd, creating a dangerous game as the clock ticks toward midnight. It finally ends up in Colin Beverly's limo as he arrives at the curb. The looming danger hangs over the final moments of the show.

The bomb detonates at midnight as the countdown ends, and the crowd erupts with a shouted 'Happy New Year' while Captain Cloud leads 'Auld Lang Syne'. The theater and street are thrown into chaos, yet the moment carries a festive roar.

Auden arrives just as the crowd exits, stepping into the tense aftermath of the crisis. Her presence marks the beginning of the debrief and the end of the immediate danger.

Max hands the lease to Neil, signaling his retirement from the Saturn after decades of leadership. Neil then considers offering Willy a partnership to keep the theater's legacy alive. The future of the Saturn depends on this new leadership handoff.

End credits roll with Auden singing 'Little Sister' to Susie, closing the night with a final personal touch. The dedication thanks the staff of the Fillmore East 1968–71, honoring the music scene that inspired the film. The Saturn’s next chapter is left open by the on-screen promises of new leadership.
