    If anybody here likes the show and is somehow still unaware, Broadway By Ghostlight has a *fantastic* series of episode breakdowns, I mean “schmeakdowns”, as well as deeper dives into the choreo with the actual choreographer. Stealing Focus and Mickey Jo Theatre also have great breakdowns, but Marc goes above and beyond and I strongly encourage everyone to check them out.

      Fosse is well-represented here in his various positions - Pippin, Sweet Charity, Cabaret, Chicago, those are the ones I'm most familiar with.
      Then there was Godspell, Bye Bye Birdie, Superstar (two Jesus characters), Sweeney Todd, Annie, and they even managed to sneak in a little bit of Phantom.
      Dove Cameron *has* to have studied Liza Minnelli for this. I about died at "Kaput," that could not have been more perfect. I did catch the Elsie mention but I love Cabaret, it would have been embarrassing if I missed it.
      Kratt was more Caiaphas to me, I've never seen Hadestown. I think it just closed here or has one more week. Meant to, Just didn't get to it.
      I've never seen Company, so I didn't get most of those references. Glad to know what they are now. You did miss I'm Not Getting Married though. That one I knew, I just couldn't remember what it was from.
      I'm definitely going to have to rewatch. This was such a panic!

    My favorite "Company" reference is hands down Jane Krakowski's patter homage to "(Not) Getting Married Today." Also love the note-perfect plays on "Pippin."
    "We're Good Enough to Eat" is definitely riffing on Annie, but it seems a lot closer to "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile"-it even ends with "Eat, Darn Ya, Eat," which references "Smile, Darn Ya, Smile."

    The clip you showed of Jane Krakowski doing the fast patter in the courtroom was clearly based on the I'm not getting married song from Company and the Promises, Promises number was the one with Ann Harada and Jaime Camil which you didn't show. And you didn't mention the MC from Cabaret (Ariana Debose) although you showed her, let alone Cecily Strong's Maybe This Time number from Cabaret. And what about the Dreamgirls number in the final episode? And your comments above reference Into the Woods and Gypsy, which were not included here in any way... But thanks for featuring this show....it's awesome!
