Heh. Good to know I'm not the only one whose mind immediately jumps to "Johanna" in this song.

I blame it on Raul Esparza....he just amps up the emotion way more for me than the original cast ever did. In a nutshell, he's amazing.

I love this song. <3

He never really hits that last note right, but I love him anyway.

One hasn't lived until one has heard Mandy Patinkin's rendering of this song; it's from his 1994 album, "Experiment." Sublime.

One word: embarrassing. Two more words: college theater.

The musical arrangement on this is somber and reflective of Bobby's state. It's perfect.

[InspectorKaramazov]

The little shrug he does at "maybe so, but maybe so has she" is so adorable.

This song is actually better out of the context of the show. Before I was privileged enough to be in a production of this show I thought these women were the many he was currently dating. LOL!

@VRNProductions Funny, I think this is one of the best arrangements in the revival. The song never did anything for me on the OBC recording ... but this is beautiful!
