THE POINT OF NO RETURN (med ium up tem po)

M US IC O F T H E NI GH T (ballad)

Add as much blue wash to stage and back light for silhouette effect lights can be
dangerously low and dim on Franc’s face as audience will adjust to the shadows. On
long held note at end of MUSIC OF THE NIGHT slowly fade to black/blue out. If an
overhead center special is available, it would be ideal to isolate Franc in a down spot
for drama tic and eerie effect. Use during all of MUSIC OF THE N IGHT and still fade on
long held n ote.
