[olivia keating, spoken]
it’s olivia keating of broadway mania and we’re here for the opening night of eleanor, the eleanor roosevelt musical, starring the incomparable dee dee allen and barry gl!ckman

[barry, spoken]
let’s talk process

(sung)
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

[dee dee]
each time i find a role like eleanor
the artist inside of me thrives
i put on that wig
and those prosthetic t–th
and know i’m changing lives
by the time i get tuberculosis in act two

[barry]
even the people who are dead inside

[both]
will shout
‘bravo!’
on cue

[barry, spoken]
the first review is in!
the new jersey star-ledger

[dee dee, spoken]
no, don’t tell me
… what does it say?

[barry, spoken]
it says we’re a hit!

(sung)
we’re a hit and i think we deserve it!

[dee dee]
that’s for sure

[barry]
also it means that this tour de force
will not be forced to tour

[dee dee, spoken]
to eleanor!
may she run for eternity!

[ensemble]
to eleanor!

[all]
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

[barry]
that in ten years or so, we’ll do eleanor 2!

[dee dee]
i can predict what the reviews will say
before the next note has arrived
it’s ground-breaking

[ensemble]
earth-shaking

[barry]
life-affirming

[ensemble]
breath-taking

[barry and dee dee]
gut-wrenching

[all]
heart-aching

[barry and dee dee]
in two words it’s

[all]
history-making

[barry and dee dee]
that’s why every actor strives

[all]
for adulation
and compensation
that comes from nightly
changing lives

[barry, spoken]
it’s just what we do
