Well then you definitely had no reason to reply. Anyone?

"And your sweat is sweet / Smells like dying flowers" is one of my favorite lyrics ever and I'm not even sure why. That image just seems particularly strong to me.

I do not. I was randomly googling lyrics from the show right when it opened and stumbled upon that. It is, I believe, from a Lincoln Center magazine or something that had a sample of the lyrics from the show. It was just lucky that the lyrics they had were the song you wanted!

On the lyric topic... In Lie to Me, does anyone know the line that goes something like: I'd give up my sanity for five minutes of your love.

I feel like I may be way off, but I've been trying to figure it out.

Thanks


EDIT: Found it!

Sondheim repeatedly says that the lyricist's #1 job is for the audience to understand what's going on (or at least what's being said.) I missed a good chunk of those lyrics when I saw the show...

^ That's not David Yazbek's fault. Blame the sound designer and the accents they had to use.

Ugh, those accents!

You know, I'm not familiar with the movie and therefore can't comment on weather or not the significance of Madrid was watered down (for a lack of better terms) in the musical... but I honestly think the show would have worked, if not worked even more... if set in Los Angeles, especially with the careers of Pepa and Ivan.

I was thinking about that after I posted. Those accents... Oh my goodness.
