Thank you! I've heard audio clips of this but seeing what the staging was helps to understand it. I agree that it was too early in the show for the characters to be so self-aware of some of the themes.
Wow, had no idea this number made it up to a full staging and orchestration! I've always liked it on its own terms but I get why it was cut. Great find!
Interesting in the evolution of what is possibly Sondheim's wordiest musical. Happy it was refined with bits of this here and there. Unmistakeably Sondheim,
I can see why they condensed this number, it kinda interrupts the flow of a long show. That being said, it's still sterling Sondheim material and this cast does perform it magically. Glad material from the song appears elsewhere in the musical.
