No business like show business...

BREAK A LEG CAST AND CREW OF EASTON HIGH SCHOOL'S THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL OPENING IN ONE HOUR AND FOUR MINUTES.

If you want an insight into any one of these kids' heads right at this moment nothing quite says it better than this:

There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything that traffic will allow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling
When you are stealing that extra bow

There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Yesterday they told you you would not go far
That night you open and there you are
Next day on your dressing room
They've hung a star
Let's go, on with the show

The costumes, the scenary, the make-up, the props
The audience that lifts you when you're down
The headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops
The sheriff that escorts you out of town
THE OPENING WHEN YOUR HEART BEATS LIKE A DRUM
The closing when the customers don't come

There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Even with a turkey that you know will fold
You may be stranded out in the cold
Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold
Let's go on with the show

LET'S GO ON WITH THE SHOW!

Now I better get back to selling 50/50 tickets here in the lobby before I get caught "texting"... (smh at society and adults' cynical, stereotypical thinking... I'm clearly not texting, people.)
