Jalal: Well, you've come pretty far

But you know where you are

You're home

And the friends that you choose

Want to walk in your shoes

You're home

Thomas: Any time you feel your skies are falling

Look above, see a bright silver lining

Listen up at your own freedom calling

Calling you to a day where you're shining

Out of the darkness (ouu, ouu)

Into the spotlight (ouu, ouu)

There is a new star (ouu, ouu)

Shining so bright (ouu, ouu)

Out of the darkness (ouu, ouu)

Into the spotlight (ouu, ouu)

There is a new star (ouu, ouu)

Shining so bright (ouu, ouu)

In this place where we belong

In this place where we belong

Atlin: So get up when you're down

'Cause this homecoming crown has come home

I was lost, I was found

Took the long way around

But I'm home

Zahirah: You and me got a song that we're singing

You and me got a drum that we're drumming

Listen up to the changes, we're ringing

Nothing's gonna stop us from coming

Out of the darkness

Into the spotlight

There is a new star

Shining so bright

Out of the darkness

Into the spotlight

There is a new star

Shining so bright

Every day's a chance

Every day's a choice

Even losers sometimes end up winning

So go and find your dance

Go and find your voice

'Cause the party's only just began

There's a place where we belong

There's a place where we belong

And you'll hear us sing our song

In this place where we belong

Out of the darkness

Into the spotlight

There is a new star

Shining so bright

Out of the darkness

Into the spotlight

Follow your freedom

It's gonna be alright

In this place where we belong

In this place where we belong

In this place where we belong

In this place where we belong

Yasmin: I can feel it

Anticipation in the air

Something just beyond compare

To any other night, I swear

Leora: I can feel my heart, it's beating much too fast

No more looking to the past

Could this be the one at last?

Niko: Oh, all the years I have waited for this one night is everything

I can't be certain, but something is different, I'm sure

I have never felt like this before

Something about this night that I cannot express

Excitement or nervousness

How it ends I couldn't guess

But there is something about this night that I just can't ignore

All the sweat and tears and more

Have made this all worth fighting for

If there is one chance, this could be the one to beat our expectations

Something about this night, oh-oh-oh

Something about this night

Scarlett: At the start of the show

When nobody knows just what to expect or believe

The tension is high and the silence is loud

It's getting much harder to breathe

Maddy: I’m so proud of what you created

After all of the time you have waited

Imogen & Olga: I wanted to say but the words wouldn't come out right

It must be something about this night

Something about this night that I just can't ignore

All the sweat and tears and more

Have made this all worth fighting for

If there is one chance, this could be the one to beat out expectations

Something about this night, oh-oh-oh

Something about this night, oh-oh-oh

Something about this night!

But we also commemorate what we found

[All, sung]

You are here

At the start of a moment

On the edge of the world where the river meets the sea

Here on the edge of the Atlantic

On an island in between there and here

[Please split ‘there and here’ echo and ‘I’m an islander’, ideally classes on the same part so

they are stood together]

I’m an islander, I am an islander

I’m an islander, I am an islander (There and here)

I’m an islander, I am an islander

I’m an islander, I am an islander (There and here)

I’m an islander, I am an islander

I’m an islander, I am an islander

Welcome to the fog, welcome to the trees

A kiss and a cod and whatever’s in between

To the ones who’ve left: You’re never truly gone

A candle’s in the window and the kettle’s always on

To the coves and the caves and the people from the planes

[Palladium spoken]

Five days...

Solo

Niko: I left my home in Minnesota

To escape a kind of restlessness

I couldn't shake after the war

And when I stepped off of the train at Pennsylvania Station

I felt that restlessness even more

All of New York City wanted what was coming next

Everyone was looking for what I was looking for

All

Tonight, let's misbehave

And take what happens to the grave

No matter what you crave, the city's reignited

The Great War has been won

The Bacchanalia has begun

Manhattan's come undone and everyone's invited

Where's the party, and can you take me there?

And when the party's over, can you find another party somewhere?

We live for today

We pay off the cops

And today is never over if the party never stops

Where's the party, and can you take me there?

And when the party's over, can you find another party somewhere?

We live for today

We pay off the cops

And when you think the party stops

The party's roaring on

The party's roaring on

Oh, we beat on, and on and on, and on

And on, and on, and on

Solo - spoken

Thomas: The practical thing was to find rooms in Manhattan

Turns out Manhattan's expensive!

So when I heard of a cottage on the grounds of a Long Island Mansion

For 80 bucks a month, I jumped on it!

Solo - sung

Zeynep: A rumour's going round

About a mansion on the Sound

The city's found another John Jacob Astor

Atlin: He opens up his place

Then disappears without a trace

His parties set the pace

Then he takes it faster!

All

Where's the party, and can you take me there?

And when the party's over, can you find another party somewhere?

We live for today

We pay off the cops

And when you think the party stops

The party's roaring on

The party's roaring on

Oh, we beat on, and on, and on, and on

And on, and on, and on

Solo

Scarlett: One evening, I went down to the shoreline

Here is what I'll never forget

There was my neighbour standing in silhouette

Jalal: He was reaching 'cross the water

His arms stretched to the sky and then he was gone

And I was left to wonder why

Yasmin: I turned back to my cottage

What was he reaching for?

Then a letter from my neighbour fell to the floor

Solo - spoken

Brandon: "The honour would be entirely mine

If you would attend my next little party"

Yours, Jay Gatsby”

Solo w ensemble replies

The very first time (oh oh oh oh)

I saw Gatsby's name (oh oh oh!)

If only I knew then

That I would never be the same (be the same)

He hypnotised the city (yeah)

We were drawn to him like moths to a flame (take me there)

Was there some other way (some other way)

This all could've gone (this all could've gone)

Before we crossed the Rubicon? (Whoo!)

He had the world at his feet

(The party's roaring on)

Oh, he made the summer beat

(Oh, we beat) on, and on and on (and on)

(And on, and on, and on)

The party's roaring on (the party's roaring on)

The party's roaring on (the party's roaring on, and on)

(Oh we beat on, and on)

(And on, and on)

And on! (And on)

And on! (And on, and on)

And on!
