Sunday in the Park with George is a lyric Question(btw, just got the dvd from blockbuster and have been listening to my cd of it recently). In the song "It's hot up here"
Dot sings "It's hot up here" What does the next lady sing.....this is before the girl says I want my glasses....
Also, I have Miss Saigon CD's on my ipod and I want to know which song has Kim and the guy singing the lyrics of "song on a solo saxophone"
"It's hot and it's monotonous."
The Last Night of the World.
That's Sondheim for you. Short little sentence, with an internal rhyme. Amazing!

My favorite:
Mrs. Lovett, You're a bloody wonder, Eminently practical and yet
Appropriate as always.
thanks..........listening to it right now
I love when the two girls are bickering over the soldiers and they sing: "Both of them are perfect. You can have the other. I don't want the other. I don't want the other either!" It's so funny...
I haven't been able to get to Chicago to see the painting, but I have seen studies of SUNDAY in NYC and Washington D.C.....really really moving. I think it's the most beautiful musical ever written. I was reading through the script (for the 2343534232th time) last night, and the whole thing is really so well written and so astoundingly beautiful that I always get emotional.

It's so funny because when I was in middle school (7 years ago,) I got the video because I was so impressed with INTO THE WOODS, and I couldn't even get through all of SUNDAY because I thought it was so terribly boring. It wasn't again until I revisited it in high school and really began to study the music and the show itself that I really grew to appreciate it. I think my CD is about worn out, too!
It's Hot up Here
It's Hot and it's Monotonous
I wan't my glasses
This is not my good profile....
Etc;
I did the show on tour and it was the best performing experience of my life - Thank you Stephen Sondheim.
I played Jules/Greenberg...and it was heaven! I worked with a group of the most professional and talented people (also the nicest) you could ever meet - and getting to do that material every night was just out of this world. I never made it through a performance without crying. (specially at the final moments when the characters from the painting all came back and bowed to George - thanking him for immortalizing them) it was so amazing to do that night after night.
That's interesting. Was one of the Celeste's played by a woman named Anne by any chance?
I saw Sunday at the Kennedy Center's Sondheim salute a couple of years ago... it was amazing!
