**Donny has one at the end of the first act. When a producer from NBC, after telling them NBC won't pay for their travel to the competition, which might not guarantee them appearing on TV, says that no one will believe them because "if nobody sees it, it didn't happen." While the other band members lash out, Donny collapses behind the piano.
