Hey, all!
I am going to perform "A Fact Can Be a Beautiful Thing" with a friend in her recital, and would love to include the scene. It's too hilarious not to! Is there anywhere I can find the libretto of this scene?
Also, could someone possibly point me in the direction of a video of Katie Finneran's performance? I'm probably going to get skewered for asking, but I would love to show her how Katie did it.
Thanks in advance for the help!

There is a video on Youtube of Martin Short and Christine Baranski doing the whole scene and song in the Encores! concert version. I think it's still up there. And you're right, the scene is very funny. Good luck!

The libretto is in Simon's collected plays, 1 or 2, can't recall which.

And there is also just the libretto itself published...my school's library had it, so I know it exists.
