Essentially, when the climax of the show/movie takes place around some big public event such as a concert, performance, sporting event, or similar such public gathering that the heroes, for whatever reason, have been brought to. If the concert begins after the climax or continues to the end credits, it's a Dance Party Ending. See also At the Opera Tonight. This trope tends to come in one of two versions: Version A - The Action Movie A prominent public event is taking place; maybe a celebrated theatre troupe, or the National Philharmonic Orchestra, or the World Series. And what an honour - U.S President Target will be there! And His Holiness The Pope! And Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II! So of course, it's now the perfect target for any evil terrorists or Big Bad who wants to make a statement about how evil they are by blowing it - and any prominent public figures who happen to be there - sky high, or by assassinating the famous person at the climax of the production. And since the body count will start increasing at the end of the show, and the show's already started, that means Our Heroes will have to haul ass to the theatre in order to stop it... Essentially, the Action Movie Concert Climax involves the Big Damn Heroes bursting in upon some huge public event to save the day and defeat the bad guys. As the numerous innocents who are also at this production unwittingly risking getting blown up or shot aren't enough, a public notable will also be in attendance at the performance to really up the ante - nine times out of ten, (s)he will be bored stiff with proceedings. Expect the bomb to be planted in the piano, primed to explode at the moment the pianist hits the climactic chord, or for the sniper to be hidden on a gantry above the stage. In some cases, the heroes may have to actually burst onto the stage and disrupt the performance in order to save the day, leading the confused audience to wonder whether this is All Part of the Show (Hilarity Ensues, naturally). Other times, the final confrontation will take place off-stage in the wings or behind the backdrop whilst the oblivious patrons enjoy a bit of culture or sport (except, nine times in ten, the celebrated public notable, who will usually be bored stiff), but in these cases don't expect the heroes to be able to slip away unnoticed without their moment in the limelight; usually, after they've saved the day and are exhaustedly gathering their breath, the curtain will choose that moment to rise, exposing the stunned heroes and the chaos that's just been occurring to the entire audience. In either case, there will be a moment's confused pause... and then a solitary figure will start clapping. It'll be the President, the Pope or the Queen, who is finding this to be the most interesting thing (s)he's seen in the whole damn production. And once everyone's joined in, usually - but not always, the heroes will figure 'what the hell', and give the audience what it really wants - a Concert Kiss between the smitten love interests. Version B - The Romantic Comedy The Hero and the Love Interest have been separated, but the hero has managed to track the Love Interest to a large public place. What's needed to bring the two back together is a Spontaneous Romantic Gesture - and what better Grand Romantic Gesture than to serenade them with a song? In this climax, the two lovers are brought together at a concert (or similar public place), usually thanks to the beauty of music (or, less frequently, some other form of artistic expression). It may be a song that the hero has written and is now performing for the love interest, or that the Love Interest's favourite artist - who is, deep down, a bit of a romantic - has been persuaded to sing. This version is almost certain to end in the Concert Kiss. See Also: Set Behind the Scenes, when our protagonists are the performers putting on the concert in the first place. The stakes may be high because The Queen Will Be Watching, or because of a Troubled Production in which The Show Must Go Wrong. Or maybe they are raising money for Saving the Orphanage or a similarly worthy cause, the climax coming when they say "Hey, Let's Put on a Show!" Of course, in every case, The Show Must Go On! |

Haruka Nogizaka's Secret Purezza has this split across two events. First, at Milan Himemiya's concert, some music is played to get Yuuto to stop Haruka from being misled into a life she doesn't want. So he runs to another building where her audition is being held and then completes the trope from there. | |

The ending (or one of them, anyway) of Love Actually involves a romantic variation of the Action Movie version; the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom going to a school play to find the Downing Street tea girl, with whom he's fallen in love. They eventually find a spot backstage to watch the production, the PM not wanting to upstage the kids - and just as they're getting romantic, the curtain rises, revealing that they're actually in the middle of the stage. So much for keeping it low-key. | |

El Filibusterismo: The wedding reception of Paulita Gomez and Juanito Pelaez is this. Practically all the highest officials of the Spanish clergy and colonial government are in attendance. Anti-Hero Simoun wants to blow up the entire place and take out all the malcontents of the colonial-Philippine ruling regime, all at once—sadly for him, Isagani sabotages the plan by dumping the detonator into a river, all because he wanted Paulita to be happy. | |

In an episode of Justice League, Grodd and his Secret Society bring the imprisoned League to a football game in Gotham as a "stage" for publicly executing the team. Of course, they get free (J'onn, disguised as Clayface, playing the part of Big Damn Heroes) leading to the best mass-fight sequence in the entire series. The only "notable" person is "Shana Squires", who gets blown away by the Society's hovercraft before the fighting starts. | |

In the sorta climax of Hayate the Combat Butler's arc just shy of chapter 300, Hayate is at the concert of an idol singer and a person after a picture Hayate has attacks behind the scenes. Hayate finally finds out what they're looking for, and willingly hands it over, but the robots they summoned to force his hand (which were entirely unnecessary as they find out) aren't listening, so Hayate still has to fight it, ending up breaking onto the stage before defeating it. | |

Non-romantic version disguised as version A in Rolling Girls. A rock concert is being bombarded by a Buddha statue shaped missile massacre, all of which are harmlessly blown up by the concert hall's built-in anti-air defenses. The actual climax was when Misa and Mamechiyo apologized to each other and become friends again. Followed by an epic electric guitar and shamisen rock duet. | |

In the Finale of Leroy & Stitch, it turns out Leroy's one weakness is a shut-down trigger induced by Jumba's keepsake record of "Aloha Oe". In order to magnify its effectiveness against an army of Leroy and his clones, the heroic cast put on a concert. Kicking it "Up to Evil Eleven", in Jumba's own words. | |

In the Grand Finale of Chuck, the Big Bad needs to steal something from General Beckman, who is at a packed concert hall to see an orchestra perform. To keep Beckman from following, he plants a sound-and-pressure-sensitive bomb under her chair that will blow up if she stands and will blow up when the performance finishes. The heroes arrive, but they need more time to disarm the bomb and the orchestra are moments from finishing. Who can possibly save the day?. | |

The finale of Moulin Rouge!, when Satine serenades Christian with the first verse of "Come What May", causing the players to rebel in favour of the real ending, the enraged Duke to attempt to shoot Christian himself, and Harold Zidler to subsequently punch him out. They kiss just as the curtain closes. However, in an unexpected (not exactly, but the ending of Spectacular Spectacular! is so happy as to make you almost forget what's coming) and poignant twist, Satine dies shortly afterwards. | |

The climax of the David Mitchell / Robert Webb comedy movie Magicians takes place during the finale of a magic show; the tension, however, comes not from having to prevent a murder, but the worry about whether a murder will be committed - the trick involves a guillotine, and the magician in the guillotine (Webb) slept with the wife of the magician operating the guillotine (Mitchell), who later killed his wife (accidentally, he protests; deliberately, everyone else thinks) with the same guillotine. He doesn't. | |
