(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 Glickman
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've found a role like Eleanor
The artist inside of me thrives
I put on my wig
And those prosthetic teeth
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:
Here's to a show that's so inspiring
It's almost too much to sit through
And if we're ? 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 & 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 congratulation
And compensation
That comes from nightly
Changing Lives
BARRY (spoken):
It's just what we do
