00:06The host of the show is deep into a production number in front of 300 young fans.
00:11What she doesn't know is that the show itself is in deep trouble, starting now.
00:30It's what is known in the business as a showstopper.

00:44It begins with a cloud of black smoke when a short circuit ignites the set.
00:51A stagehand with a fire extinguisher tries to douse the flames.
00:55But it's already out of control.
00:57The horrified actors flee the stage.
01:01Dancing girls, small children, and terrified clowns running for their lives
01:05as the Kinney Show is transformed into a scene from hell.
01:15All the children were safely evacuated.
