Privileged

When you see a performance

That’s live, on a stage,

If you’re lucky, the show

With your mind will engage.

 

When the dialogue’s snappy,

The scenery great,

With costumes and dancing

And music first-rate…

 

You’ll tell all your friends

To buy tickets real fast,

Before there’s a change

In this prominent cast.

 

Since when there’s a performer

Who brings down the house,

You feel privileged to see her

(And so does your spouse).

 

Just witnessing that

Will remain in your mind

Long after you’ve left

Other viewings behind.

 

So to Audra McDonald,

In “Gypsy” right now,

Your Rose will live on

Well beyond your last bow.
