Because Brenen was annoyed in real life that Robert had done a swirly-time at the ACT I without Brenen’s involvement, Elliott began writing a script centered around jealousy over who “owned” swirly-time between Robert and Brenen.
	The Music Man Jr. Backstage Silliness Original Release Date: July 1, 2010 Controversy took center stage in this barely-seen fourth entry into the backstage silliness saga. There was no swirly-time this year, due to new ACT I policy (something about “hazing”), and we were only allowed to make this under the agreement that we didn’t upload it to YouTube.
