Don't you just love how they paired two completely different looking and sounding actors that pretty much embody Comedy and Tragedy?

Please no talking during the theme song.

Matt Dude

And that's how you play "Would You Rather?"

Thomas Nastachowski

i disagree, George M Cohan is the Father of Broadway, and Show Boat is considered the first modern musical. the first comment is kind of stupid since the Brits have the longest running musical in the world and they have creative people that can come out with great original shows that aren't based off of movies.

@dnanidreffmc You're so right. It only takes a genius to create such an amazing music and also such brilliant, funny and perfect lyrics like this. I'd say Sondheim is one the best composers in musical theater history, and THE best lyricist in it.

Josh Travnik

I think every show should start with this song. Jus' sayin'.

Eileen Gray

That's it...I want this sung before my funeral starts! I ADORE Sondheim.

@dnanidreffmc its a very old, very obscure adaptation of aristophane's the frogs. it ran for 6 performances in the Yale University Gymnasium swimming pool...or something like that....it got revived though!

anneflint

@dnanidreffmc Yep. Sondhiem wrote both the music and the lyrics. Only a genius like Sondhiem could create something as amazing as this piece.

dnanidreffmc

Did Sondheim write this song as well? It sounds very Sondheim in all its wit and nuances, but I'm sure no composer would write an extra song for a tribute to him. Can someone please enlighten me.

David Bucknell

@milligoree and always making it better!!!
