Our Time” from Merrily We Roll Along (current West End Revival)

music/lyric Stephen Sondheim book George Furth

performance Mark Umbers, Damian Humbley, Jenna Russell

A bit of a cheat to end my tour the West End recordings of Broadway hits—but I presume a welcome one.  Judging from the audience recording (and the word of Kevin) this is an EXCELLENT production of Merrily.  And the last scene really is perfect.

I’m sure most of you will recognize this music that was used for a 1984 drum corps performance

OH. MY. GOD.  This might be my new favorite thing.

I mean, come ON.  

(also, I like to think of Gussie as the Debbie Shapiro Gravitte part.  but this surpasses even my imagination of such an event)

This overture is the definition of perfect. I wish the show were too, but I’ll settle for the gloriousness of this.

Finally!
