Cast party. Lauren gives "Shake It Up" buttons to everyone. Even Mrs. Tyndall. She mentions they'll do an easier play called Alice in Wonderland. Lauren suggests casting Alice as someone not stereotypical to the looks in the book.

Chapter 33
Mrs. Tyndall is still picky with theater rules. Safta & Mini come to watch the dress rehearsal. Lauren uses her quick thinking to make sure there's no carastrophe.
Everything went great! Until the lights started flickering and a ghost, or a cat with a rhinestone problem happened.
Bao Bao & Wai Po also arrive. The dog hunts down and finds Mini backstage. The day is saved!
