Just look at the expressions on the 5 in the audience as they watch this short performance...at the very end, Zero yells out..."That's our Hitler"....Shawn plays someone who doesn't know what the tryout is about, but sings his song anyway..(they let him tryout, even though he doesn't know where he is.. ) ..The group is producing a play..called Springtime for Hitler..and they need a lead singer for the show.(the funniest moment for me in films) Zero and Gene want to produce the worst play in all history, take a huge loss and keep all the money after the play flops terribly the very first night,,that is why they want the worst singer for the lead in the show)
