Where's the Orchestra

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?
 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?
