Finding Neverland the Musical - The World Is Upside Down Lyrics
"The World Is Upside Down" is a song from Finding Neverland the musical performed by Matthew Morrison (as J.M. Barrie), Kelsey Grammer (as Charles Frohman), and the Acting Troupe.
[Barrie:]
Welcome my friends
Glad you could join me on this most auspicious day
I hope you'll forgive
Mistakes and errors
We're just getting under way
You may recognize some of the scenes
You all played a part in sowing the seeds
‘Cause there is magic here in my imagination
Just believe and it can be a creation
The stories we invented
All the fun that we found
Appearing here before your eyes
The world is upside down!
[Miss Bassett:]
Our characters
[Miss Jones:]
Nibs and Tootles...?
[Miss Bassett:]
What is their motivation?
Because you see, I have to live and breathe my part, drawing from my own life experience...
[Barrie:]
Nibs is a lost boy
[Miss Bassett:]
Lost! Good, interesting
[Miss Jones:]
Yes...
[Miss Bassett:]
That I can use
[Miss Jones:]
Good, right
[Miss Bassett:]
Is he lost in an emotional purgatory?
...or lost in an existential search for himself?
[Miss Jones:]
Yes!
[Barrie:]
No, he's just lost
[Miss Bassett:]
Good heavens! Where, when, and how?
[Barrie:]
Do you have experience being lost?
[Miss Bassett & Miss Jones:]
We're experiencing it now
[Mr. Henshaw:]
Dogs!
[Miss Potter:]
Boys!
[Mr. Cromer:]
Flying!
[Miss Bassett:] Lost!
[Frohman:]
So...
[Actors:]
Frustration!
[Barrie & Boys:]
Believe and it can
[Actors:]
No!
[Barrie & Boys:]
Be a creation
[Miss Bassett:]
Actors don't fly...
[Mr. Cromer:]
Because actors could die!
[Boys:]
Start by saying I can do
And then you can try
[Miss Jones:]
I can't
[Miss Potter:]
I won’t
[Mr. Henshaw:]
Will not
[Mr. Turrin:]
Not me
[Actors:]
There is no magic in your imagination
I do not believe in your new creation
This disaster is all due to your play
This could be my last first day
[Mr. Cromer:]
Nauseous!
[Miss Potter:]
Anxious...
[Mr. Henshaw:]
My reputation!
[Miss Bassett & Miss Jones:]
Playing lost?
[Actors:]
Get lost! Serious actors cannot work this way!
[Frohman:]
A positive start!
[Actors:]
The world is upside down!
[Thanks to Sylvia for lyrics]
