Essentially, when the climax of the show
▲Essentially, when the climax of the show / movie takes place around some big public event such as a concert, performance, sporting event or similar such public gathering that the heroes, for whatever reason, have been brought to. If the concert begins after the climax, or continues to the end credits, it's a [[Dance Party Ending]].
Tends to come in one of two versions:
Line 49 ⟶ 48:
* ''[[A Goofy Movie]]'s'' big climax takes place when Max and Goofy finally make it to the Powerline concert and, as accidentally promised to Roxanne at the beginning of the road trip, perform on stage.
* In ''[[The Man Who Knew Too Much]]'', a murder is planned to take place during the high point of a musical piece to hide the gunshot.
* The climax of the David Mitchell / Robert Webb comedy movie ''[[Magicians (film)|Magicians]]'' takes place during the finale of a magic show; the tension, however, comes not from having to prevent a murder, but the worry about whether a murder will be ''committed'' - the trick involves a guillotine, and the magician ''in'' the guillotine (Webb) slept with the wife of the magician operating the guillotine (Mitchell), who later killed his wife (accidentally, he protests; deliberately, everyone else thinks) with the same guillotine. {{spoiler|He doesn't.}}
* In ''[[Death to Smoochy]]'', the protagonist is a public figure, who is to be shot by a guy in the rafters, at an ice show arena full of children, at the height of the performance.
* The finale of ''[[Miss Congeniality]]'' which takes place at a knockoff of the Miss America Pageant.
