The arrangement is super interesting but the tone of this is quite strange. I think the gender bent version of this song with these participial lyric changes sounds way harsh lol
The original (female) version of the song was meant to invoke the Andrews Sisters, whereas when they changed it to male vocalists they changed it a bit stylistically to be more evocative of early 50s vocal groups like The Four Freshmen.
I just saw this on Broadway. The choreography and the set definitely added to the number.
Excellent and fantastic Love it!

I like it, except the bah do du what ever they did to replace the fun original thing
Can someone explain the bah duh duh instead of Bah duh da duh? I’m honestly just confused.

Great performance, but some of those lyric changes.... Steve, what were you thinking???
I love all these guys so much but not a fan of this reworking.
Bobby Conte Thornton's thighs...
thick thighs save lives
Is it just me or does this song, when gender flipped, sounds like an incel’s anthem?
Eh?
The bah dah dah is awful. even the performers look confused.
I hope that George Furth was cremated because otherwise he's turning in his grave.
Well fortunately STEPHEN SONDHEIM is still us - and approved this version. Unlike too many fans, a genius like Sondheim isn't afraid of change.
