Second, a stark black casting notice layered over classifieds reads โBIALYSTOCK & BLOOM PRODUCTIONS CASTING TODAYโฆ ADOLF HITLERโฆ No previous experience required.โ Third, a wide backstage shot crowded with dozens of auditioners in mismatched outfitsโsuits, uniforms, even a man in swim briefsโsome throwing mock salutes amid stage rigging, conveying frenetic comic chaos; recurring elements include bright color, graphic text props, ensemble crowding, and satirical showbiz-meets-Nazi imagery.
