this woman’s work

This is for David

Because I want to make sure he’s good and hooked on showtunes.

This is from the revival of Sondheim’s very first musical, Saturday Night. It’s the title song and my favorite part happens at 3:04. I like this a lot because it’s such a simple, classic showtunes song and the guys have these great, smooth voices and they’re simply singing beautifully instead of indulging in vocal acrobatics. And I have crushes on all of ‘em. (I have no idea what they look like but they sure sound pretty!)

Here you go: Saturday Night
