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 $$#umed 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?
