song: better hold tight - the great gatsby musical
requested by: ‪@pathetically_dimwitted‬
my name is bella. i've been doing theater since i was eight and ive been dancing and singing for even longer. my favorite musical is sweeney todd, but my favorite score is the outsiders. some of my favorite roles i've played include elsa in frozen, jasmine in aladdin, dorothy in oz!, taylor in high school musical, and sebastian in the little mermaid. I'm currently in the ensemble of heathers and hannah in newsies! the first show i ever did was the wizard of oz, and is also my most recent show i've been in two productions of the wizard of oz, and one production of oz!.

COULD IT BE 1917?
HAVE WE STEPPED INSIDE A TIME MACHINE?
JORDAN:
SOMETHING OUT OF HG WELLS?
OR ANOTHER ONE OF GATSBY’S SPELLS?
NICK:
I THINK I SEE STARS ALIGNING
JORDAN:
OR MY STANDARDS ARE DECLINING
NICK:
YOU’RE LEARNING TO SPOT WHAT YOU NEED
WHEN TO FOLLOW AND WHEN TO-
Nick tries to twirl Jordan, but she beats him to it.
JORDAN:
KEEP FOLLOWING!
NICK:
OH HOLDING YOU IS LIKE CLINGING TO A CLOUD
JORDAN:
Watch it.
NICK:
I HAVE TO HOLD TIGHT, OR YOU MIGHT FLY AWAY
JORDAN:
YOU KNOW, I CAN’T HELP THAT I RISE ABOVE THE CROWD
NICK:
AND I WOULDN’T WANT IT ANY OTHER WAY
JORDAN:
SO YOU BETTER HOLD TIGHT OR I MIGHT FLY AWAY
NEVER THOUGHT YOU WERE MY STYLE
GO ON KEEP ME DIZZY FOR AWHILE
NICK:
MAYBE IT’S THE UNIFORM
JORDAN:
MAYBE IT’S THE DRESS I’VE NEVER WORN
BOTH:
YOU JUST MIGHT BE MY UNDOING
I ADMIT THERE’S SOMETHING BREWING
WHAT WE DO MIGHT BE TABOO
BUT I LIKE THAT LOOK ON YOU
OH NEVER THOUGHT I’D HOLD STARLIGHT IN MY HANDS
JORDAN:
YOU BETTER HOLD TIGHT, OR I MIGHT FLY AWAY
NICK:
YOU MIGHT FLY AWAY
YOU KNOW, I COULD NEVER AFFORD A SECOND CHANCE
JORDAN:
That’s true.
NICK:
BETTER MAKE MY ADVANCE BEFORE THE LAST DANCE STARTS TO PLAY
YOU BETTER HOLD TIGHT
JORDAN:
YOU BETTER HOLD TIGHT
JORDAN & NICK
WE BETTER HOLD TIGHT BEFORE THIS FLIES AWAY
NICK:
I kinda like that dress.
JORDAN:
Don’t get used to it!
JORDAN & NICK:
FLIES AWAY
