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 ma**e But the theatre's alive It's gonna survive Although it's a pain in the a**. You waited forever And finally got tickets To get to your seat you gotta cross pickets.
The guy to your right is frightfully tight And the guy to your left appears to have rickets. The music's yuck The lyrics s** 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!
