In the sixteenth episode of the first season of Arrested Development, "Altar Egos," we see young Michael Bluth as a lawyer in a play (and again later in the tenth episode of season three, "Fakin' It"):
Narrator: In order to satisfy an English requirement, Michael appeared
in the Drama Club’s production of an original play, “The Trial of
Captain Hook.”
Young Michael: (singing) / You’re a crook, Captain Hook / / Judge, won’t you throw the book at the
pirate... /
Logic suggests they wouldn't set up a shot that elaborate for about nine seconds of a joke, but maybe they would. Is there any additional footage of this play beyond what we see in these two episodes?
Answer
In Season 4, Episode 1, "The Trial of Captain Hook" is revisited with additional footage (15:00 minutes in). Here, Peter pan is bumping into the seal (of the court) while flying, Buster calling out about the newly dislodged "Loose seal" and then Lucille (being oblivious to this development) mistakenly believing Buster is calling her for attention.
It is unclear whether this is new footage (on a recreated set) or if it is previously unaired footage. I speculate that the courtroom and play was older, previously un-aired footage edited in with new, original reaction scenes with Kristin Wiig.
