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.
