Thanks, but I've had a Petula Clark fetish for years....
Okay, speaking of Sunset Blvd, This group's parody of Sunset Blvd morphs into "Ethel Merman" and the William Holden character singing a parody of "You're Just in Love."
1. Name the gang that does the parodies. 2. Name the original show that featured "You're Just in Love."

Okay, so the parody group in question does regular revues and has at least six CDs for sale (plus a special Hollywood edition).
One of my favorite numbers has Chita Rivera and Rita Moreno trading barbs to the tune of America from West Side Story.
Sometimes they even make up shows, like the muscial version of Anna Karenina:
Do you hear that train comin' round the bend It means the tale of Anna is about to end As I throw myself to my new address 'Neath the Achebad, Tblisi, and Kiev Express

"Chita & Rita" is fun, but I'm even more partial to the number that follows it on Volume 2, George Hearn singing "I Ham What I Ham".
And of course the Ethel Merman "tributes":
"Curtain Up! Light the Cykes! And ya better turn off all the mikes! Cross your legs, Hold your ears, 'Cause no one leaves this room until I'm through! Honey, ev'rything's comin' up Merman For me, and for ... Me!"

"Oh, do not leave us minus Our vicarious bonus, We want to see his Highness Married to your Lowness."
Name the show, and the character who sings this verse.

The quoted song was (disappointingly) cut from a recent New York revival of this show, but it definitely appears on the cast album of the original production.

That's from "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" (had to use the Web to jog my memory because I knew I knew it). My cassette of the OBC is buried, but I'm going to say Smitty because I doubt it was Rosemary.
The song is "Cinderella Darling," which I agree was a disappointment to see cut. It's a fun song.

Suddenly Seymour is correct, with bonus points for giving the title of the song (which is sung by Smitty and the female chorus to Rosemary early in Act 2).
Your question, o Green one.

Well, there's a book by Sondheim. There's a DVD of the PBS performance. and.... I don't know. There's the Forbidden Broadway parody, Into the Words!
I sort of hate to ask it but what's a rhyme for basket?
