Where's the orchestra?
|
Wasn't this supposed to be a musical?
|
Here I am in the balcony
|
How the hell could I have missed the overture?
|
I like the scenery
|
Even though I have absolutely no
|
Idea at all
|
What is being said
|
Despite the dialogue
|
There's the leading man
|
The movie star who never faced an audience
|
|
Where's the orchestra?
|
After all
|
This is my big night on the town
|
My introduction to the theatre crowd
|
I assumed that the show would have a song
|
So I was wrong
|
At least I understand
|
All the innuendo and the irony
|
And I appreciate
|
The roles the actors played
|
The point the author made
|
And after the closing lines
|
And after the curtain calls
|
The curtain falls
|
On empty chairs
|
Where's the orchestra?
|
