Roger McCall
Many years ago, ten to be exact
I dreamed of a camp where kids could come to learn to sing and act
No one thought it was possible, they laughed behind my back
But it wouldn’t be long
We’d prove ‘em wrong
We’re ten years strong, in fact
Once I made the decision
To follow my ambition
And make a training ground for dance and song
There were hardships and obstructions
Those are part of all productions
Still the show must carry on!
Campers & Staff
We’re here! We’re here! We’re finally here!
The place where we can be ourselves
At least for once a year
We’re here, we’re here
Camilla Swanson
I’m here
And I know you are here
Every time I sing I feel you near
Now I have my song to sing
I’ll sing with all my heart
I will sing just like you
I will get the part
Roger McCall (three-part harmony)

Campers & Staff (three-part harmony)
We’re here, we’re here
We’re finally here
The place where we can be ourselves
At least for once a year
The place where we can dance
And feel allowed to sing a song
Performing is our fantasy
We’re here where we belong!
Camilla Swanson (three-part harmony)
Now I have my song to sing
I’ll sing with all my heart
I will sing just like you
I will get the part
Kid: … isn’t it wrong to sing and dance when someone just died?
Kids: Yeah.
Kids: Isn’t that illegal?
Kids: What about the sheriff?
Roger McCall (spoken)
Do you remember the first time you ever saw a musical play?
Do you remember the first time that you ever got swept away?
No matter what bad stuff happened that day
When that show was over, you probably felt OK
That’s why theatre has been around so long
That’s why we need musical songs
(sung)
Sing a song
Sing a song
When you’re in pain
Musicals help you feel high once again
Sing a song
When things are wrong
Don’t you fret
Melody’s the remedy to help you forget
From the ancient Greek stage
To today’s Modern Age
Musicals mute out the wars that we wage
When they made gunpowder
We just sung louder
From Gilbert & Sullivan
To Rodgers & Hammerstein
Show tunes have shown up to drown out the battle cries
And when the terrorists
Get suicidal, we’ll
Roger McCall and Staff
Be just fine
‘Cause we have our own bible
We’ll dig up our archives
And find a revival
Roger McCall
We’ll always need singing and dancing
And whether it’s Kander & Ebb or Andrew Lloyd Webber
These musical treasures will help us to weather the horrors of war
The more that goes wrong
The more that we need for the show to carry on…
(spoken)
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting tonight’s leading lady, Camilla Swanson!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
When the enemy’s on its way
Kids: The show must carry on!
When they yell, “Bombs away!”
Kids: The show must carry on!
We lose soldiers every day
What’s a camper from the play?
Kids: The show must carry on!
Kids & Staff
When we made the decision to follow our ambition
And come to Center Stage for dance and song
We knew there’d be obstructions
Those are part of all productions
Still the show must carry on!
When we made the decision
To follow our ambition
We knew there’d be obstructions
Those are part of all productions
Still the show must carry on!
Metal Killer
Shut your fucking face
Your musicals are full of shit
Every single day
You people make me sick
You sound so lame
Stuck inside your stupid dream
You don’t know pain
Now I’m gonna make you scream!
You’re gonna fucking scream!
Metal Killer
Shut your fucking face
Kids: Sing a song
Your musicals are full of shit
Kids: Sing a song
Every single day
You people make me sick
Kids: And the show must carry on!
Shut your fucking face
Kids: Sing a song
Your musicals are full of shit
Kids: Sing a song
Every single day
You people make me sick
Metal Killer & all
Tonight!
Tonight!
Opening night
