[2][3] Before the action of the play, the company comes together to deliver a warning and an invitation to join them as they recount their spooky tale (Goosebumps).

The story begins and we meet our heroine, Brooke, her best friend Zeke, and their classmates at Woods Mill Middle School.

The halls are filled with the excited chatter of the students as the news spreads that this year's musical will be (A Super Scary Play) called The Phantom.

Though Ms. Walker tries to dispel the rumor, Tina, Brooke's understudy, recounts (The Legend) of the first production 73 years ago at their very school.

Brooke and Zeke sneak back to the stage after rehearsal to get a better look at the trap door, put in for the play but which never has a chance to be used during the first production.

Despite Ms. Walker's warning that the trap door is not safe, curiosity gets the better of Brooke and Zeke and they pull the lever and the platform plunges deep below the stage.

Waiting for them is the school's night janitor, Emile, who warns them to be careful or they may fall to their deaths (Watch Your Step).

Brooke shows up early for drama class, only to find an unfamiliar, and cute, boy sitting in her chair.

The Phantom is not a ghost, but actually a previously renowned composer, now living in the tunnels underneath the theater due to the scars disfiguring his face making him an outcast from society.

After his death, the Phantom's body disappears and it is said his spirit still haunts the theater, longing to sing one last song with his beloved Esmerelda.

There is a blackout during play rehearsal the next day and a mysterious figure dressed as the Phantom appears above the actors under a single spotlight.

They go through the likely suspects, ultimately deciding to investigate the trapdoor, as the Phantom only started appearing after they opened it (Whodunit?).

The next day, Ms. Walker tells the students that a search found no sign of anyone living in the sub-basement, even the furniture they claim to have seen seeming to vanish.

He claims meeting her has made all of his suffering worthwhile, but as much as he wishes he could stay, he must move on, his one last goal now accomplished.

The Phantom speaks directly to Brooke, “Thank you, for giving me an ending to my tragic play.” He backs off the stage and disappears in a burst of fog.

She compliments Zeke on his performance to Brooke, albeit a bit peeved he changed lines on opening night.

The show ends in the dimly lit cemetery we saw earlier, with a new smaller tombstone that dates back 73 years.
