@Kalig82 sorry if this sounds weird but what highschool was it I'm asking because my highschool did it and it was running this week and last week

@PeaceNdLovee The song satirizes Nazi hatred of the Jews. And not in a humorous way, at the end. Perfect!
-
This song is PERFECT. I saw it performed at a nearby highschool, and the effect at the end was amazing.
-
I remember seeing this as my school play and smiling throughout the whole song. And then the last line came and it just fell off my face. Everyone thought it was a silly song until the deeper meaning was revealed

This may be the best song in the film, next to 'Willkommen'. It has such a dark tone, but you don't know it until the end. Joel Grey wel-deserved the Academy Award for this performance.

Best interpretation of this number. Joel Grey is the Master of *all* Ceremonies, hands down. Lot of texture here whether he was conscious of it or not re "looking Jewish" -- Grey was born Joel Katz, the son of Jewish comedian Mickey Katz, and had his own Jewish nose whittled down after an early film appearance in 1952's "About Face," where if memory serves correctly he was billed as Mickey Katz Jr. Nobody since has figured out a successful way to do this role.

@IMMABEME74 Predjudice is an awful thing, but that's the way it was in the 1930s, and it would be unrealistic if the musical portrayed Nazi Germany in any different way.

Directed by M. Night Shyamalan
When I saw this done live at a local community theater everyone was laughing and then he says the line about "If you could see her through my eyes, she won't look Jewish at all" and you could hear the audience gasp. The effect was perfect, people looked ashamed of themselves. It was great

This song punches you in the stomach at the end.
