@dnanidreffmc You're so right. It only takes a genius to create such an amazing music and also such brilliant, funny and perfect lyrics like this. I'd say Sondheim is one the best composers in musical theater history, and THE best lyricist in it.
-
I think every show should start with this song. Jus' sayin'.
-
That's it...I want this sung before my funeral starts! I ADORE Sondheim.

@myloverisbillmurray The original production at Yale had two students in the chorus named Sigourney Weaver and Meryl Streep

Thank God the Brits do Sondheim.

@dnanidreffmc its a very old, very obscure adaptation of aristophane's the frogs. it ran for 6 performances in the Yale University Gymnasium swimming pool...or something like that....it got revived though!
-
@dnanidreffmc Yep. Sondhiem wrote both the music and the lyrics. Only a genius like Sondhiem could create something as amazing as this piece.
-
Did Sondheim write this song as well? It sounds very Sondheim in all its wit and nuances, but I'm sure no composer would write an extra song for a tribute to him. Can someone please enlighten me.

Great....slightly different lyrics than the version we say,
but what a treat!
At last! Been waiting for this to be put up - BIG thank you!!!!
