Before her Spanish dance performance, Aunt Elaine brings Katy backstage, where the girl watches her aunt-who "thinks she's from Spain . However, Komaiko's stilted, forced verse is disappointing and meager by comparison.

Before her Spanish dance performance, Aunt Elaine brings Katy backstage, where the girl watches her aunt-who "thinks she's from Spain, But she and dad were born in Maine"-transform herself into Elena. In all the excitement, Katy gets comically tangled in a jumble of hanging costumes and misses most of the show, only to appear onstage with the company for an encore. Komaiko's ( Annie Bananie ; Earl's Too Cool for Me ) frenetic verses, though funny, occasionally strain for effect.
