--Saturday. It's Saturday and
welcome to the #Ham4Ham lottery. [cheers]
um you're very kind to spend your beautiful Saturday afternoon with us.
If you don't win today, please come on back. We're going to be here a nice long time.
um and we want you to-- if you don't leave with tickets, you'll at least leave with a story.
Today you will definitely leave with a story.
To my right is The Mighty Oak. [cheers]
I asked Oak what he wanted to do for Ham4Ham. He said, "I want to sing a song as Mickey Mouse."
It was going to be "Make Them Hear You" from RAGTIME, but he changed his mind 2 minutes
ago, so now it's going to be "Defying Gravity" from WICKED.
[cheers] The people have spoken.
Up here uh as an assistant, is the original associate conductor on WICKED, Alex
Lacaimoire. [cheers]
Oak, take it away.
Hmmmmm. Hmmm.
Oh, hi everybody! how y'all doin' today?
I'm gonna sing a little song for you,
it's called Defying --just ok [laughs]
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes -- she's so into it -- and leap
It's time to try defy-ING gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
and you won't bring me down
Flash forward-
So if you care to find me - guess who it is
Look to the western skies
has someone told you lately everyone deserves
a chance to fly [laughs]
and if I'm flying slow
at least I'm flying free
to those who ground me
take a message back: I'm Mickey
It's time to try defying gravity
I'll swear I'll try defying gravity
and soon I'll match them in renown (I just wrote that lyric)
and nobody in all of Disney no wizard that
there is or was
is every gonna bring me down!
I hope you're happy
LMM: Look at him, he's Mickey! [cheers]
Bring me down and they'll never bring him down
oh oh [cheers]
Good luck everybody we hope you have a good day
