Plot[]
Before the musical starts, Hobbes appears and welcomes the crowd to "Hobbes Live!" stating that they will see a great musical about the greatness of Hobbes, to which Calvin enters and claims the title is "Calvin: Strokes of Amazing, The Musical" to which Calvin and Hobbes get into a big fight over what the title is before Moe comes on stage and tells them that its Calvin and Hobbes: The Musical, and to get back stage so they can start the musical.
The musical starts with Calvin and Hobbes getting up for the day, and sing "Carpe Diem: Seize the Day" as they prepare to enjoy another day of causing pure chaos. After getting ready, and having an encounter with Moe, Calvin and Hobbes have a G.R.O.S.S. meeting, and sing "The G.R.O.S.S. Anthem" before Calvin declares that he will create duplicates to help him take over the world. Hobbes reminds Calvin what has happened when Calvin used the duplicator in the past., and Calvin says that he is going to find an alternative source to make the duplicates so they will obey Calvin and not turn back from him. Hobbes asks him how he will do this, and Calvin says he saw an abandoned alley with a duplication machine, and states that he will use that to duplicate himself.
Despite Hobbes' objections, Calvin and Hobbes find the duplication machine, and Calvin manages to get three duplicates, but they don't know how to take over the world or anything, so Calvin sings "Villian Number One" with the Duplicates to understand Calvin's ways to try and take over the world.
Meanwhile, a mad scientist named Dr. Scientist is spying from his lab, and sings "The Word Will One Day Be Mine", and details his plot on how he will one day take over the world. After this, Moe comes in and tells Dr. Scientist about his encounter with the two.
