So, bringing on the wedding is our comedy chorus doing a little dance, gettin' down tonight: Yenchna (Alex Abrams) Slovitch (Kristen Cowans), Mishkin (Brylyn Stacy), and Snetsky (Jean Kroutil)

Too late. Count Gregor (Chris Ford) objects!

But it doesn't work! Leon fools the fools with his fake letter and the marriage is made!

V for Victory!
