Let's talk process
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
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
Each time I find a role like Eleanor

I put on that wig
And those prosthetic teeth
And know I'm changing lives
By the time I get tuberculosis in Act Two
The artist inside of me thrives
I put on that wig
And those prosthetic teeth
And know I'm changing lives
By the time I get tuberculosis in Act Two
Even the people who are dead inside
Will Shout 'Bravo!' On Cue
Bravo!
Will Shout 'Bravo!' On Cue
Bravo!

Cheers to a show that's so inspiring
It's almost too much to sit through
And if we run, that might mean one more thing
It's almost too much to sit through
And if we run, that might mean one more thing
That in ten years or so, we'll do Eleanor Two!

It's ground-breaking
Earth-Shaking
Life-affirming
Breath-taking
Gut-wrenching
Heart-aching
In two words it's
History-making
That's why every actor strives
