Lyrics Pierre & The Great Comet Of 1812 Original Broadway Cast Natasha – Natasha & Bolkonskys
Text:
Servant:
May I present the Countess
Natalya Rostova
Mary:
Oh, hello
Won’t you come in?
Natasha:
Hello
Natasha and Mary awkwardly move to a table in silence
Mary:
And from the first glance I do not like Natasha
Too fashionably dressed
Frivolous and vain
Her beauty, youth, and happiness
My brother’s love for her
And my father
Bolkonsky:
I do not wish to see her!
Mary:
I know at any moment he might indulge in some freak
Natasha:
I’m sorry the Prince is still ailing
Bolkonsky:
Songstress!
Natasha:
I am not afraid of anyone
But such hesitation
Such unnatural manners
And from the first glance I do not like Princess Mary
Insolent and dry
I shrink into myself
Assume an offhand air
Mary:
Which alienates me still more
Natasha & Mary:
Constrained and strained
Constrained and strained
Constrained and strained
Irksome
Irksome
The Prince enters in his underthings
Bolkonsky:
Oh!
Mary:
Papa!
Bolkonsky:
Oh, so this is Natasha
Not much to look at
Says the mean old man in his underthings
I never dress for children or peasants
Says the mean old man in his underthings
Mary:
And he looked at her once
Head to toe
And left muttering
Natasha:
I must take my leave
Mary:
Please wait
Dear Natalie
I want you to know how glad I am my brother has found happiness
Natasha:
Is that the truth?
I think it is not convenient to speak of that now
Dear Princess
Mary:
She said
With such dignity and coldness
Natasha:
What have I said, what have I done?
Crying like a child
Oh, they were so awful!
Oh, it all hurts so terribly
Andrey
Where are you?
