Lyrics
0:43It's Frank DiLella with New York one's on stage
0:46And we're here for the opening night of Eleanor
0:48The Eleanor Roosevelt musical
0:50Let's talk process
0:51When I'm in character I go insane
0:55I stagger I stammer I sob
0:58I make the audiences feel my pain
1:01And if they don't leave depressed
1:03Then I've not done my job
1:05Each time I find a role like Eleanor
1:08The artist inside of me thrives
1:12I put on that wig and those prosthetic teeth
1:15And know I'm changing lives
1:19By the time I get tuberculosis in act two
1:25Even the people who are dead inside
1:28Will shout Bravo on cue
1:34The first review is in
1:36The new Jersey star-ledger
1:37Don't tell me unless it's a rave
1:41Or a mixed positive
1:43It says we're a hit
1:45Oh my God
1:59We're a hit and I think we deserve it
2:03That's for sure
2:06Also it means that this tour de force
2:09Will not be forced to tour
2:11To Eleanor may she run for eternity
2:14To Eleanor
2:18Cheers to a show that's so inspiring
2:21It's almost too much to sit through
2:24And if we've won that might mean one more thing
2:27That in ten years or so we'll do Eleanor 2
2:31I can predict what the reviews will say
2:34Before the next note has arrived
2:38It's ground-breaking
2:39Earth-shaking
2:40Life-affirming
2:40Breathtaking
2:41Gut-wrenching
2:42Heart-aching
2:43In two words it's history-making
2:45That's why every actor strives
2:47For adulation
2:50And compensation
2:54That comes from nightly
2:57Changing lives
3:04It's just what we do
It's Frank DiLella with New York one's on stage And we're here for the opening night of Eleanor The Eleanor Roosevelt musical Let's talk process When I'm in character I go insane I stagger I stammer I sob I make the audiences feel my pain And if they don't leave depressed Then I've not done my job Each time I find a role like Eleanor The artist inside of me thrives I put on that wig and those prosthetic teeth And know I'm changing lives By the time I get tuberculosis in act two Even the people who are dead inside Will shout Bravo on cue The first review is in The new Jersey star-ledger Don't tell me unless it's a rave Or a mixed positive It says we're a hit Oh my God We're a hit and I think we deserve it That's for sure Also it means that this tour de force Will not be forced to tour To Eleanor may she run for eternity To Eleanor Cheers to a show that's so inspiring It's almost too much to sit through And if we've won that might mean one more thing That in ten years or so we'll do Eleanor 2 I can predict what the reviews will say Before the next note has arrived It's ground-breaking Earth-shaking Life-affirming Breathtaking Gut-wrenching Heart-aching In two words it's history-making That's why every actor strives For adulation And compensation That comes from nightly Changing lives It's just what we do
