LEO:
The overture is over
The curtain starts to rise
You're suddenly in glover
You can't believe your eyes

You're sitting on the aisle
You break into a smile
Why this magic feeling?
And then you realise

That there is
Nothing like a show on Broadway
Nothing like a Broadway show
Hearts will skip a beat on Broadway

If you're feeling blue
I'm telling you
That's the place to go

Movie's drag their endings sag
TV's just a bore
So hit the street
And move your feet to the place we all adore.

Because there's
Nothing like a show on Broadway
There's nothing like a Broadway show

MAX:
It's often been said
The theatre is dead
The critics repeat it en masse

But the theatre's alive
It's gonna survive
Although it's a pain in the ass.

You waited forever
And finally got tickets
The guy to your right is frightfully tight
And the guy to your left appears to have rickets.

The music's yuck
The lyrics suck
The casting is all wrong
And when you reach the bathroom
The line is five miles long.

LEO:
But still
There's nothing like a show on Broadway.

LEO AND MAX:
There's nothing like a Broadway show.

MAX;
You swear you'll never go again.
It's simply not worthwile

LEO:
You make that vow
and then somehow

LEO AND MAX:
You're back there on the aisle.

That's why there's
Nothing like a show on Broadway

LEO:
There's nothing like a Broadway show

MAX:
Til you're in movies

LEO:
There's nothing like a Broadway show

MAX:
And though it is expensive at a hundred bucks a throw

LEO AND MAX;
There's nothing...
Like a Broadway show
