To be sung to the tune of “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina”:
Just this past Friday
A typical Friday
You happened upon
A life change
Where your world was affected by a new thing you saw
You were elated
And wondering how it could really be true
Was it made up in front on the spot
Or was it written ahead?
You planned to go to dinner
You planned to eat
And drink martinis at Musso and Frank’s
Like you’ve been meaning to do
Since you moved to LA
You had a dress on
And high shoes that rendered you near motionless
Lest you walk fast and miss that new thing
How dare you miss that new thing!
You saw the musical “Opening Night”
T’ was a revolution to your mind
With Shulie Cowen
And Matt Jones from Breaking Bad
There’s also Derek Miller
And as for eating
You’ll do that for sure on a Saturday soon
Just not Friday because now you’ve got long-running plans
To see the music and comedy as it unfolds before you
In the most miraculous way
You must admit you’ve been changed
You saw the musical “Opening Night”
T’ was a revolution to your mind
With Shulie Cowen
And Matt Jones from Breaking Bad
There’s also Derek Miller
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is see "Opening Night"
To know that every word is true
You saw the musical “Opening Night”
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. Hmm, hmm, hmm…
