Show Off (from “The Drowsy Chaperone”)

From Kent P., a MotD fan who’s contributed before, comes the show-stopping production number “Show Off” from The Drowsy Chaperone, which was produced on Broadway in 2006.

Kent reports: “A hilarious number that makes fun of every old musical cliché by doing them. And of course, one such cliché is the key change! Here’s a video (with good audio quality but less good video quality) from the Tony Awards, with Sutton Foster performing the song. There’s a long intro to the actual song, which doesn’t start until 1:35; after many other key changes, the main modulation is around 4:35. It is probably the most self-referential modulation ever!”
