The Boy From Oz : Após a abertura do show,
Peter Allen (
Hugh Jackman) começa a contar sua história. Ele "encontra" com o pequeno Peter (O jovem talento Mitchel Federan de 12 anos). E relembra sua infância nos anos 50, na pequena cidade Tenterfield, no interior da Austrália.
O joven Peter Allen Woolnough gostava de dançar e cantar, e se apresentava nos bares da cidade sempre com o suporte de sua mãe Marion Woolnough (
Beth Fowler). Seu pai, George Woolnough (
Michael Mulheren) era alcoólatra.
Ele teve uma infância difícil. Mas Peter prossegue contando sua história e nos convida para as partes mais glamurosas! Então, já adolescente, canta a mesma música, mostrando que cresceu com os mesmos sonhos e determinação de quando criança.

When I Get My Name In Lights (Mitchel Federan)
When I Get My Name In Lights (Peter Allen)Boy: I'll dance and I'll sing, I'll do anything, Just to get my name in lights
I've got to try to hit the heights, Now that I'm free as a breeze again, Old nimble knees again
And soon they'll all know my name, I'll have fortune and fame
When I get my name in lights, It can happen overnight in these modern times
So hold that front page, This boy was born to strut the stage
I tap and sing and play the piano Splash my name across a big bright banner
And that's why I won't let go 'til I'm on radio, And when they come to see the sights
That'll be my name spelt right, Lighting up Times Square
I'll sit on a flagpole, Whatever's the rage, Just to get my picture on the front page
Just to get my name in lights
All: So hold that front page, This boy was born to strut the stage
Boy: I tap and sing and play the piano
All: Splash his [my] name across a big bright banner
Ensemble: And soon they'll all know his name, He'll have fortune and fame
When he gets his name in lights, That'll be his name spelt right Lighting up Times Square
All: Just to get his name, Just to get his name, Just to get his name in lights
Boy: Just to get my name in lights
When I Get My Name In Lights (Reprise) (Peter Allen)
Peter: And soon they'll all know my name, I'll have fortune and fame
When I get my name in lights, It can happen overnight In these modern times
I'll sit on a flagpole, Whatever's the rage, Just to get my picture on the front page
Just to get my name, Just to get my name , Just to get my name in lights
