I sitll haven't seen BatB on Broadway, but this is by far one of my favorite songs. I've seen many people saying that it slows down act 2, which I can't comment on. I do think if it is well acted and sung, it could work nicely in the show (with what I know about the show, anyway). I've heard 3 different renditions of the song: Brooke Tansley (at Broadway in Bryant Park), Susan Egan (on her CD), and Ashley Brown (at Broadway on Broadway). My favorite was probably Ashley Brown.
