Where's The Orchestra lyrics

Where's the orchestra?
Wasn't this supposed to be a musical?
Here I am in the balcony
How the hell could I have missed the overture?

And I like the scenery
Even though I have absolutely no idea at all

What is being said, despite the dialogue
There's the leading man
The movie star who never faced an audience

Where's the orchestra?
After all this is my big night on the town
My introduction to the theater crowd
I assumed that the show would have a song

So I was wrong at least I understand
All the innuendo and the irony
And I appreciate
The roles the actors played, the point the author made

And after the closing lines, and after the curtain calls
The curtain falls on empty chairs...Where's The Orchestra?
