The beautiful thing about the Bear is that it's such a high stress show that you can apply it to other high stress environments and the AU works. I can see some kind of hospital/medical AU, or, in this case, a dancer AU.

The Berzattos run a dance school for kids, teens, and adults. They do different styles of dance, teach according to syllabus and some of their best students, like Carmen Berzatto even go on to become professionals. Syd used to go there when she was a kid until her dad noticed her passion, and worked extra hard to get into the Joffrey Ballet, then the New York Ballet before she got disillusioned and tried to start her own dance company and failed.

Carmy joined the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago, being taught by Andrea, as a child before being picked up by the Paris Opera ballet, before moving to the Royal Danish Ballet in Copenhagen, then moving onto the San Francisco Ballet before finally joining the American Ballet Theatre in New York, this is where David abuses him.

Mikey didn't have as much promise, he was a good dancer at many things, but didn't have the drive that Carmy did, so runs the dance school instead. He met Richie at the school, his mother was a dancer and she noticed his inability to sit still and put him in the dance school, his dad didn't approve at first but he started getting roles in musicals, he's a brilliant tap dancer and could've gone far in musical theatre but Mikey pulled him in. He got roles, worked hard for them but always got brought back to the dance school eventually.

Tina got into musical theatre 'too late', she's been in a local theatre outside of work but after getting fired, she's heard singing to herself at the bus stop outside the dance school, Mikey hears and offers her a job as the musical theatre teacher with Richie.

Mikey dies and Carmy's left the dance school. The place isn't doing well, they could be going out of business. Syd, who's been idolising him since she saw him in the Royal Danish's production of the Nutcracker, starts to work there. Carmy becomes strict on uniform and respect to the teacher, Richie's more relaxed, he's dance teacher but wants it to be fun, not a military school.

She and Richie don't get on, she's used to the skill levels of professional ballet studios, not local dance schools. She starts to see how good he is with the students, he can control the room easier and his students have more freedom and are generally happier.

Carmy decides to up the stakes of the school's usual yearly show, they promise Jimmy a certain amount of profit and a certain number of new uptake of students. They ask Tina choreograph her own section of the show to whatever she wants, she goes with West Side Story.

Sydney looks at some of the previous shows, and some of the previous work of the teachers to see if there's anything they could possibly do and stumbles upon some of Richie's work in musical theatre. She mentions it to Carmy, they talk to Richie, who's unsure as it's been a while.

She's there late one night when she hears something and sees Richie dancing to Singin in the Rain, which he performed on tour. They talk about dreams and goals, she encourages him to perform, but he's hesitant as it's been so long

Syd and Carmy are going to do a duet, but when it comes to the night, Carmy gets locked in one of the dressing rooms getting something for one of the kids. Syd's scared, so Richie improvises and steps in, he's seen them rehearsing and does his best (is this all because I want to imagine Richie lifting Syd like she weighs nothing? yes).

She joins him in doing 'Moses Supposes' from Singin in the Rain (minus the singing), something he used to perform with Mikey, because she makes him feel confident enough to perform again. They get through, make a fair bit of money and get some sign ups. Richie also gets an invitation to audition for another musical, with Syd's encouragement, he does.

Also added on: Eva being in Richie's dance class, Richie and Syd are in suits when they dance together to 'Moses Supposes', Syd and Richie teaching a class together and reluctantly getting along

when in "because the night" it says "take my hand come undercover / they can't hurt you now" and "take my hand as the sun descends / they can't touch you now" and "because the night belongs to lust / because the night belongs to lovers / because the night belongs to us" and when -

there's never anything good to come from it, when it shows up in place of another master. it hardly steps out of its niche, content to play the role of debauched and pretty and desirable and nothing more than that. all its hoarded wineries kept to itself and each intricately lecherous relationship it'd built up with its peers among the masters were enough to satiate it's waning interest in even being alive ... so when the master of wines makes a willing appearance, it is hardly something to celebrate, despite what the improper populace of london itself may believe. this is such a case where its appearance is even more confusing, and every bit more a threat.

whatever its intentions, they certainly aren't so sweet as the scent of strawberries and honey that follow in its wake. it hums as it looks at the chains and barely recognizable husk of an ally once betrayed attached to them, reaching up to peel the hood of its silken cloaks from its head. fluffed ears twitched with the disgust of the sight. how the mighty have fallen! it's a sight a touch too familiar.

"mr mirrors! how scandalous, it has been sooo long." there's distinct mockery in its chipper tone, as if its appearance alone weren't indicative enough that this is not a pleasant social call. it is the first master to seek out their lost comrade since its imprisonment, it's sure. what a sorry sight it finds mirrors in, ragged on the floor like a broken corpse. its own fall hadn't even been this pathetic. its heels click 'gainst the floor as it approaches it against the haze, bare legs decorated with red stockings peeking out 'neath the cloak's fabric with each step. it, for its part, had not changed at all. beautiful, lewd, an absolute dream, with a nightmare heart deludedly beating underneath it all. what a difference it makes, to be able to play pretend. "aww, sweetheart. you look positively vile."

The song that is thought to have the longest title in any musical is from the Stanley Donen picture Royal Wedding, starring Fred Astaire and Jane Powell: How could you believe me when I said I loved you when you know I've been a liar all my life? It's simply joyous to watch, even when you have seen Easter Parade; it's pretty clearly Donen's take on A Couple of Swells, the number which cemented Astaire's brilliance when he came out retirement in 1948. Yet it's not a total repetition; Jane Powell brings a brilliant, bolshy quality, and the physical comedy is played up much more - you can see that this is the man who will go on to make Singin' in the Rain.

What they do share is this particularly sibling-esque quality of performance, rather than a romantic couple - although Garland and Astaire will end up together in Easter Parade, there is nothing romantic in this number, which is much more childishly playful. Astaire and Powell are playing siblings playing a couple, and as a result a similar childish playing-at-adulthood emerges. The staging is also unbelievably similar, even for performances on a stage, and the use of vaudeville double-act types is the same. Donen has, however, certainly upped the Gloriousness of the Technicolour in Royal Wedding! See A Couple of Swells below - both magnificent!
