This is my fifth favorite episode of the show, it's a Dina centered episode which is cool as she's one of my favorite character. But what makes this truly unique is how Sponge is acting as sort of her number two which I thought was interesting, I always like it whenever a show switches the dynamics around which keeps things fresh. Let alone Sponge is a character I feel is a little underrated, I don't feel gets to be on the main stage much.
There are a lot of funny scenes in this episode, like in the beginning seeing Ug give out the news of the upcoming Cinderella play and then says something stupid and then everyone is just throwing crumpled paper balls at him, that cracked me up.
As well as the play itself which doesn't disappoint which is a fun quirky version of Cinderella which was pretty darn good, kind of which most plays that adapt fairy tales would do quirky versions more often. But it was just comic silver when we saw Tully constantly beat Donkey Lips whom was in a mouse mask with a broom and doing some raping. But unfortunately, Dina is late on her cue which makes the beat down a little long to the point Donkey Lips can't take it anymore and just frustratingly walks out of the scene and takes the mask of, I just always get a hard laugh from that.
Dina is just great as usual as we see she is just getting star struck as we see the lead role fame gets to her head. But once she hears the news of the other camp attending the play and who is in it, like any shooting star she crashes straight into the ground called reality hard; she gets a bad case of stage fright. This I can emphasize with because I'm an actor myself and I get a little nervous when performing on stage.
Like the scene where she supposedly gets Laryngitis and then ZZ she then brings in a remedy for her condition where Dina is all covered in some wraps of some smelly herbal mud substance which smells. But Sponge like in the fairy tale is the guardian angel she needs; we see him talking sense into her. And he's right she's just being human, when it comes to performing in public it is scary, constantly hoping you don't fail as you in front of many eyes counting on you not to, that is pressure inducing.
Sponge then give her a key to doing what she does by taking her focus off of the audience and thinking of something else which is what keeps her from focusing on her fear but also finding her confidence, which is part of what acting is about.
