Parts are casted, the stage is set
Many friends and fam are all around
They have paid for each seat
It’ll be a real treat
To see us ten feet off the ground

It doesn’t matter what our parents say
Our high school’s theater is a focused crew
There’s more than hundreds of them anyway
What’s a hundred next to thousands who
Are counting on you?

All we have to is take our place
Keeping out of every number’s way
I’ll…we’ll have memorized parts from the base
When our parts that matter have their turn
And with lighting installed
You can eagerly know when you’re called

Then again our strict director could give us a stink review
For practice comes improvement, and that’s the way
All actors are distinguished, most important, they’re true blue
I may find job satisfaction in Broadway

This is crazy prediction talk
Why look toward theatricals nationwide, there’s no need
There’s no squall for any changes at all
When we are on stage side by side

We starred in Evita, the music we sang so divine
We starred in Evita, the cheers of the people
Thankful and benign

There is only one guy who can lead any drama regime
He’s played many roles and to act is his very big dream
He was Valjean, Salieri
Artful Dodger, and Grasshopper
If not, how could he be Che?

We starred in Evita, with lyrics by Tim Rice
We starred in Evita, the cheers of the people
Worth the ticket price

Now I am in drama, I’ve acted the way that they do
I’ve been to wet tech, I’ve rehearsed and I’ve loved it so true
But I found my true calling in friendship, may the stalling
Let him see them as he saw me

We starred in Evita, a lesson in world history
We starred in Evita, we raised our fists together
For Argentine glory

Then again our strict director could give us a stink review
I could see him many times again, blowing his top
Sitting out there in the front row, taking notes down in the pew
Shouting easy, walking in there, it’s his big stop

Don't think he will loathe you
I often get those nightmares too
They always take some swallowing
Sometimes it's very difficult to keep momentum
If it's him that you are following
Don't close doors, keep a commitment
Because we might lose the drama club

But would I have done what I did
If I hadn’t thought, if I hadn’t known
I can’t be in drama

But I chose to stick to my gun and this I allow
The cast from his high school are those I am acting with now
He was Valjean, Salieri
Artful Dodger, and Grasshopper
If not, how could he be Che?

We starred in Evita, the music we sang so divine
We starred in Evita, the cheers of the people
Always were and were of course so thankful and benign

It’s amazing that we got to star in South America
The imagination, having to picture a country
If normal methods of pretending cannot fake believe us all
Acting’s just one of establishing setting country

We starred in Evita, the music we sang so divine
We starred in Evita, the cheers of the people
Always were, and definitely were, and were of course so thankful and benign
