Last Chorus Slow-Down	comment	The moment in a song where the refrain comes around for one last time, tempo dramatically slows down, and volume increases to full. Tempo often increases a few bars after for a flashy finish. Common in modern production numbers, where the entire ensemble gets to sing and tap their hearts out. It doesn't have to be the entire chorus, though... or from a musical. Often used to lead into a Big Rock Ending. Compare Truck Driver's Gear Change. Bonus points if Chorus Girls show up to form a kick line.

Last Chorus Slow-Down / int_74795739	comment	Parodied in some productions of The Pirates of Penzance during the number "With Catlike Tread", starting with the Joseph Papp NYC revival. Some productions take this to further extremes by performing AN ALMOST INFINITE NUMBER OF ENCORES to this particular moment, each slower and louder than the one before, regardless of the inevitable fatigue. Also from the same play, "I Am The Very Model of a Modern Major General" frequently gets this treatment. Then inverted to all hell if an encore is called for (which is likely). It's fairly common for a Major-General Stanley who can handle it to say to the conductor "Presto agitato, sil vous plais, Maestro" ("Very quick, if you please, Master").
