It's delightful, it's delicious, it's dlevy!

Once, a lifetime ago, a friend and I brought new meaning to the word “shame” with our performance (and I use that word loosely) of this song at karaoke at the West Hollywood gay bar Revolver. To make it worse, my mic was off, and of the two of us, I was the only one who had a chance of carrying the tune.
Uzo Aduba sings the song much better than we did. And although I love the original arrangement and orchestration of the song (I HEART 70s GUITAR SO HARD), it’s nice to hear a very different take on it that works equally as well.
This is maybe the peppiest heartbreaking song ever. “Marking Time,” cut from Pippin.
1. Stephen Schwartz used to write great opening numbers. WTF happened with Wicked? (Wicked has a lot of lovely things in the score, but oy, that opening.)
2. Corbin Bleu could make a great Leading Player. Diane Paulus, are you listening?
