It was adapted from a 1952 Broadway play of the same name by George Axelrod (co-scripted by Wilder), with Tom Ewell reprising his Broadway role (although on stage, Ewell had played opposite Vanessa Brown instead of the alluring MM).In exchange for turning over Goldmember, Dr.Evil bargained to be transferred to a regular prison so that he could be with his "beloved" Mini-Me.Austin agreed, but then was told that Goldmember was in the year 1975, located at the "Studio 69" Disco (spoofing Studio 54) in NYC, corner of 69th and 8th.[The illusion of its rising is created by the descent of some of the backdrops.] As they are about to explore, a violent explosion (volcanic?) sends them in all directions.To rest their fatigued bodies after a "rough trip," they stretch themselves out on the ground under blankets.As Kristen was dying, she sent a blast of her power and energy toward Alice: "You""ll need my power," she exclaimed, slamming her bolt of energy first into Freddy and passing through him, causing him to contort in pain.
