At the Gala^[3][4] or The Gala Song^[5] is a musical number from The Best Night Ever, and a sound-alike for Stephen Sondheim's "Ever After" from the musical Into The Woods. Two months before the episode Daniel Ingram revealed in an interview that his favorite song had not aired yet and was an "epic" song with 20-person choir and a solo part for every pony.^[6] The 20-person choir was directed by Monique Creber, the mother of Michelle Creber (voice of Apple Bloom), and the choir parts were recorded at Bryan Adam's The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver.^[7] The song has been released as a sing-a-long on the DVD My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Season One Disc 4. Music from this song is used on The Hub's Royal Wedding site's Main Menu as well as in their games Rarity's Bridal Boutique and DJ Pinkie Pie. As with the Hush Now Lullaby and You Got to Share, You Got to Care, the MP3 file used by the DJ game classifies the music as belonging to the blues genre.^[8] The song is also included in the My Little Pony Live Show.

LyricsEdit

Twilight Sparkle: I can't believe we're finally here. With all that we've imagined, the reality of this night is sure to make this... The Best Night Ever!

[Twilight Sparkle]

At the Gala

[Choir]

At the Gala

[Fluttershy]

At the Gala

In the garden

I'm going to see them all

All the creatures

I'll befriend them at the Gala

[Choir]

At the Gala

[Fluttershy]

All the birdies

And the critters

They will love me big and small

We'll become good friends forever

Right here at the Gala!

[Choir]

All our dreams will come true

Right here at the Gala

At the Gala

[Applejack]

At the Gala (It's amazing)

I will sell them (Better hurry)

All my appletastic treats (Yummy yummy)

Hungry ponies (They'll be snacking)

They will buy them (Bring your money)

Caramel apples, apple sweets (Gimme some)

And I'll earn a lot of money

for the Apple family!

[Choir]

All our dreams and our hopes from now until hereafter

All that we've been wishing for will happen at the Gala

At the Gala

[Rarity]

At the Gala

All the royals

They will meet fair Rarity

They will see I'm just as regal at the Gala

[Choir]

At the Gala

[Rarity]

I will find him

My Prince Charming

And how gallant he will be

He will treat me like a lady

Tonight at the Gala!

[Choir]

This is what we've waited for to have the best night ever

Each of us will live our dreams

Tonight at the Gala

At the Gala

[Rainbow Dash]

Been dreamin'

I've been waitin'

To fly with those great ponies

The Wonderbolts, their daring tricks

Spinning round and having kicks

Perform for crowds of thousands

They'll shower us with diamonds

The Wonderbolts will see me right here at the Gala!

[Choir]

All we've longed for

All we've dreamed

Our happy ever after

Finally will all come true

Right here at the Grand Gala

At the Gala

[Pinkie Pie]

I am here at the Grand Gala

For it is the best party

But the one thing it was missing was a pony named Pinkie

For I am the best at parties, all the ponies will agree

Ponies playing

Ponies dancing

With me at the Grand Gala!

[Choir]

Happiness and laughter at the Gala

At the Gala

[Twilight Sparkle]

At the Gala (At the Gala)

With the Princess (With the Princess)

Is where I'm going to be (She will be)

We will talk all about magic and what I've learned and seen (She will see)

It is going to be so special

As she takes time just for me (This will be the best night ever!)

[Choir]

Into the Gala we must go

We're ready now, we're all aglow

Into the Gala, let's go in and have the best night ever

Into the Gala, now's the time

We're ready and we look divine!

[Choir and Fluttershy]

Into the Gala

[Fluttershy]

Meet new friends

[Choir and Applejack]

Into the Gala

[Applejack]

Sell some apples

[Choir and Rarity]

Into the Gala

[Rarity]

Find my Prince

[Choir and Rainbow Dash]

Prove I'm great

[Rainbow Dash]

As a Wonderbolt is

Fluttershy: To meet!

Applejack: To sell!

Rarity: To find!

Rainbow Dash: To prove!

Pinkie Pie: To whoop!

Twilight Sparkle: To talk!

[All]

Into the Gala

Into the Gala

And we'll have the best night ever!

At the Gala!
