The showcase featured the songs "Nobody'll Hold Me Down" sung by Laura as Girl, "Broken" sung by Curt Hansen(Wicked, Girlfriend) as Boy, "Face Like Mine" performed by Matt Sax (Venice, Clay) as Face, "A Thousand More Words" sung by Bridgette Bentley (The Color Purple) as Older Woman, and "Pile of Poo" sung by Sugar Joans (The Voice) as Pile of Poo.
