They wrote the scores for two Tony-winning musicals, but in between those triumphs, they had a short-running show that nevertheless yielded a song that has been recorded by at least four dozen famous recording stars. The title of that song is also the first spoken line of a musical that more than a quarter-century later won Tonys for Best Score, Book, and Actress in a Musical.
What’s the song title, the musical that featured it, as well as the name of the subsequent show that used the phrase as its opening line?
