I know you've all been wondering, "What if Frank Loesser, the man who wrote the songs for Guys and Dolls, had instead written the score for Sweeney Todd?" Well, my buddy Bruce Kimmel has the answer. Bruce introduces (and wrote the lyrics for) just such a tune sung by Robert Yacko, with Lloyd Cooper playin' the piano…
P.S. And yes, I know Frank Loesser did not write The King and I. Bruce Kimmel knows it, too. I assume that was some kind of joke that would have made sense if we'd seen earlier portions of that show instead of just the excerpt.
