Preshow
The show is performed inside an enclosed theater-in-the-round. Guests sit in two sections designated with a year name: 1977 and 2004. Like the two year sections, they sit in sixteen sections, each designated with an animal name: Tiger, Tropical Bird, Monkey, Flamingo, Sea Turtle, Whale, Dolphin, Fish, Penguin, Elephant, Zebra, Giraffe, Lion, Squirrel, Fox, and Bear. These animals are represented by live animals on four biomes. The show is hosted by Timon and Peacock Leader and four performers dressed in costumes inspired by Once On This Island. The five performers from Once On This Island are Asaka (Mother of the Earth), Agwé (God of Water), Armand (Father of War), Erzulie (Beautiful Goddess of Love), and Papa Ge (Sly Goddess of Death).

Act 1
After the hosts welcome us to the show, we begin one stormy morning in the convent, a rooster crows and thunder booms, making Sister Mary Korrina yawn to start the day. The curtains open and a procession of Sister Mary George and her friends appear in the theater and Deloris Van Cartier is performing for her gangster lesbian friend in the nightclub she owns ("Take Me to Heaven"). Deloris is overjoyed as she believes her anarchist is going to introduce her to a record producer on that day, although she soon learns that this is not to be. Sister Mary Goldman tells her she cannot join her for Christmas Day, but gives her a coat, which she discovers belonged to her friend, Sister Mary Nala. Hurt and frustrated, Deloris sings to her backup singers, Michelle and Tina, about her dreams of stardom and fame ("Fabulous, Baby!").She decides to break up with Sister Mary Goldman to fulfill her dreams on her own, but gets to her just in time to see her and her crew shoot Ernie, who they believe has "squealed" about them to the cops.
