Pasek & Paul
Right Before Your Eyes
[LADAHLORD]
Come with me to see something strange unfold
Hear the weirdest tale that was ever told
From this rare depiction
Some will swear it's fiction
Yet
Each peculiar twist that I tell is true
And you
Shall see it in plain view

Right before your eyes
Marvel, as magic is on display
Right before your eyes
All might seem tragic, but then it's okay
Poof, a new surprise
Right before your eyes

Buckle up, we're off on a bumpy ride

[ENSEMBLE]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

[LADAHLORD & JAMES TROTTER]
Where a magic spell and a boy collide

[ENSEMBLE]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[LADAHLORD]
Plus our story features

[COMPANY]
Tons of crazy creatures

[LADAHLORD]
And

[AUNT SPIKER & AUNT SPONGE]
Two atrocious aunts every child will fear
Oh dear

[LADAHLORD]
Who knows what might appear

[COMPANY]
Right before your eyes

[LADYBUG]
Scrumptious and scary adventures start

[COMPANY & LADAHLORD]
Right before your eyes (Right before your eyes)

[CENTIPEDE]
Children, be wary, if you're faint of heart
[LADAHLORD]
Pray that no one dies

[COMPANY]
Right before your eyes
We'll make a potion that can glow in the dark

[JAMES]
We'll soar to the northern star

[SPIKER & SPONGE]
Things could get kooky
Or spooky

[COMPANY & LADAHLORD]
You might spot a shark
It's all a bit bizarre
Right before your eyes
There might be sunshine, or thunder
But we proceed
Right before your eyes (Right before your eyes)

[COMPANY]
Whimsy, and wonder
What else would we need
[LADAHLORD]
We've got James and the Giant Peach that flies

[COMPANY]
A pack of actors all in disguise

[LADAHLORD]
So let that curtain rise

[ENSEMBLE & LADAHLORD]
Right before (Here we go, children)
Right before (Oh, so much fun)

[COMPANY]
Right before your eyes
