Everything (The Background Singers' Lament) from PEDESTAL

Ugh, backing up a megahit popstar is not as glamorous as it might seem...
About PEDESTAL:
Pop princess Alex Aster has it all--fame, money, influence, but as she writes her bombshell retrospective memoir, she is confronted by perceptions from her past. Hurtling through perspectives and time, Casey Lyons' pop opera PEDESTAL examines the cyclical sacrifice of stardom, the cult of celebrity, and the power of having one's say.
