Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat - Tony Awards

Likely the best rendition of Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat ever. The choreography is so simple, but the tightness of it just leaves you breathless.
Guys and Dolls won six Tony Awards when it first appeared in 1951 and this revival, in 1992, won a further three Tonys. The two London revivals won seven Olivier Awards.
This revival, starring Peter Gallagher, Faith Prince, Nathan Lane and Josie de Guzman, played at the Martin Beck Theatre from April 14, 1992 to January 8, 1995 for 1,143 performances. Directed by Jerry Zaks.

Over 20 years later and this is still the best rendition of this number.

Bobbie did a great catch at 1:43 when the orchestra conductor missed his vocal cue (or Bobbie changed the pickup slightly) either way, incredible save there.

I still can't believe this Actor Walter Bobbie brought Chicago The Musical to Broadway over 30 years ago!!!!

… I dreamed last night I got on the boat to heaven And by some chance I had brought my dice along And there I stood, and I hollered, "Someone fade me" But the passengers they knew right from wrong … For the people all said "Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat" The people all said "Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat And the devil will drag you under By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down you're rocking the boat" … I sailed away on that little boat to heaven And by some chance found a bottle in my fist And there I stood nicely passin' 'round the whiskey But the passengers were bound to resist … For the people all said "Beware you're on a heavenly trip" The people all said "Beware, beware you'll scuttle the ship And the devil will drag you under By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down you're rockin' the boat" … And as I laughed at those passengers to heaven A great big wave came and washed me overboard And as I sank, and I hollered, "Someone save me" That's the moment I woke up, thank the Lord … And I said to myself "Sit down, sit down you're rocking the boat" Said to myself "Sit down, sit down you're rocking the boat And the devil will drag you under With a soul so heavy you'd never float Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down Sit down you're rockin' the boat" … Sit down you're rockin' the boat Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat Sit down, sit down Sit down, sit down you're rockin' the boat Sit down
