Anyway, a couple of weeks back, I did Broadway Death. Then I spent a lot of time looking for a way to do Broadway Taxes (you know, as in Death and...), but all I found was the Tax(i) Song (Come Up To My Place) from On the Town. So that brings us to Life! A much more positive theme than either of those. This way we get Zorba and Zero and Oliver and Rafiiki and a bunch of other glass-half-full types. Some make for a downright (and left) aerobic workout; others just make you wanna cry in your Jamaica Me Crazy.
So a little of this...
And a little of that...
Cuz that's life, there's no denying, flyin' high in April, shot down in...oops, wrong genre! It's a circle, it's glamorous, it's fine, full o'consequences, like a train, WITH Harold, and without! But consider the alternative, and L'Chaim!
