CURTAINS - It's a Business

[@jochenstossberg5427]

A typical Kander and Ebb showstopper that you can't stop humming. I'd love to have seen this show. Debra Monk is terrific and the choreography is hilarious. I love this number.

I was Carmen in my schools production of Curtains and just watching this makes me miss it SO much!

[@Samarastube]

I need to see her on stage...such a force!

LOVE Debra Monk!!!! Such a great show!!

[@LoyalTideFan]

I was disappointed by the performance on the Tonys. Debra has SO much more expression in the recorded version. Maybe she wasn't feeling up to par that night? This is way, way better.

Carmen: I've never been known as one of those stupid clucks [pause] Elaine. Bambi: Bambi Carmen: Who pisses away a lot of her hard earned bucks [pause] Elaine Bambi: Bambi Carmen: But let's face it your coloratura sucks bambi, Though it breaks your mother's heart, Forget about the part, It's time for you to know Why I really backed this show. You ask me for my motives Well, you needn't be so smart, It's a business. It isn't making history, It isn't making art, It's a business. Shaw and Ibsen take 'em away, And don't bother me with Molière, Those Russians never pay. So go on criticise me, Please, proceed with your attack, It's a business I put one million in And I expect two million back, It's a business So, what crime have i committed If I'm putting up a fight? It's a business And I want those paying suckers Out there giving me the business Every night Carmen: Am I getting through to you, Elaine? Bambi: I'm sorry mother, but to me the theatre is a temple. Carmen: What so it should only be filled on shabbat? Give me a hand fellas. [they clap] Very funny. You know what I mean. Back me up. Carmen: The not for profit theatres Don't need to turn a buck That's not business Guys: That's not business Carmen: So give them Lysistrata And I wish them lots of luck I do business Guys: She does business Carmen: Dorky schmorky Money misspent You won't survive Yom Kippur You'll never get through Lent I once knew a producer Whose pretension knew no bounds In the business Guys: In the business Carmen: He mounted Samuel Beckett I don't mean it like it sounds It was business Guys: It was business Carmen: So now he's down the crapper While I'm working in my prime It's a business Guys: It's a business Carmen: And the shows I do do business 'Cause I really know my business And I'm giving them the business, honey All the time Bambi: But what about the great poets of the stage? Carmen: Honey i put on the ice man cometh and nobody cameth Carmen: To stage hands To the dressers To musicians in the pit It's a business Guys: It's a business Carmen: The owner of this premesis cleans up if we're a hit He's in business Guys: He's in business Carmen: Union workers don't work for free Hey Harry on the spotlight Blink twice if you agree See! I'm not devoid of culture But my feet are on the floor It's a business Guys: It's a business Carmen: I do the Kama Sutra With a Richard Rogers score That's good business

Is the choreographer's motto "F*ck it, that'll do"?

[@bobbybubby7977]

That’s Rob Ashford for ya. I’ll never forgive him for his mangling of “Turkey Lurkey Time” in the Promises Promises revival.
