Merrily We Roll Along (The New Cast Recording)

[Applause.]
[GUSSIE, spoken]
Wait, wait, wait. Keep them there. We want to hear it again. Tell them! Wouldn't you all just like to live your entire life to that music. Okay, down everybody, down down down. They're gonna do it again. One mo' time. 
[CHARLEY, spoken]
Frank, no. Say "No."
[MARY, spoken]
Charley's right. 
[BETH, spoken]
But they loved it. 
[FRANK, spoken]
They thought we were great. 
[CHARLEY, spoken]
You wanna know what true greatness is? It's knowing when to get off. 
[FRANK, spoken]
I'll sing with you. Come on. 
[CHARLEY & FRANK]
It started out like a song
We started quiet and slow
With no surprise
And then one morning I woke
To realize—
[DORY]
I said, "Joe, this show will be a watershed..."
[CHARLEY & FRANK]
We had a good thing going
[GUSSIE, spoken]
Shh!
[CHARLEY & FRANK]
It's not that nothing went wrong:
Some angry moments—
[GUESTS]
Did you hear—?
No kidding—!
You're not serious!
[CHARLEY & FRANK]
Of course
But just a few
[MARY & GUEST, spoken]
Shh!
[CHARLEY & FRANK]
And only moments, no more
[JOE]
Dadadadada—
[GUSSIE, spoken]
Shh!
[GUESTS]
It's a clear case of Tammany politics
We were stuck in the tunnel till half past six!
[CHARLEY & FRANK]
Because we knew
We had this good thing going
[GUESTS]
It's a show that'll murder them in the sticks
Did you read—?
[GUESTS' babbling overtakes the singing.]
[CHARLEY & FRANK]
And if I wanted too much
Was that such
A mistake
At the time?
[GUESTS]
It'll never—!
They just don't mix
What we need—!
Did you ever—!
Till half past six!
It's a clear case of Tammany politics
Did you read—?
It'll never—!
They just don't mix!
What we need—!
Did you ever—!
Till half—
[GUSSIE, spoken]
Shh!
[CHARLEY & FRANK]
You never wanted enough—
All right, tough
I don't make
That a crime
[GROUP I]
Darling!
We saw the new—
Darling!
We had the most bad—
Was it good?
It's the biggest—!
He's a genius!
Well he can't
But he used to!
It's the dumbest—!
She's a genius!
It's the best—!
It's the first—!
He's a genius!
It's the least—!
She's a genius—!
It's the absolutely lowest—!
They're a genius!
[GROUP II]
Did you read—?
It'll never—!
They just don't mix!
What we need—!
Did you ever—!
Till half past six!
It's a show that'll murder 'em in the sticks...
It's a clear case of Tammany politics
[COMPANY]
It's the greatest—
It's the single—
It's the only—
It's the perfect—
It's the one—
It's the real—
It's the true—
It's the final—
It's the—
