Don't look behind the curtain,you won't like what you see.
It's pulled, behind the scenes hidden for a reason.
That show hidden, failed during production.
Never hit Broadway for a reason.

So please, will you be so kind to turn your eyes to the alternative.
True, it's not as good as the show behind the curtain.
But, as the saying goes:
you can't handle the truth.
