don't know if everyone caught this...
I didn't until I read this article...
the scene was so short I didn't recognize who it was in the chicken coop at the end of the show...
but this is off their website...
Dandy arrives to claim his prize: Elsa has sold him the show for $10,000 (which he calls a pittance). He admits that show business is his dream, and bids Paul to fetch him a lemonade. He looks over the big top, imagining the possibilities, and takes a bow.
****************From the stage, he hears muffled noises and finds a mutilated Stanley (legless, armless, and tongueless) in a chicken coop as the "new Meep".****************************
so they turned Stanley into a freak?
