Julian Velard - Where's The Orchestra

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?
cfter all this is my big night on the town
My introduction to the theater crowd
I assumed that the show would have a song
So I was wrong
ct least I understand
cll the innuendo and the irony
cnd I appreciate the roles the actors played
The point the author made
cnd after the closing lines
cnd after the curtain calls
The curtain falls on empty chairs
Where's the orchestra?
