Double post, sorry guys.

Anyway...

Update! We choreographed this last night and it was such a blast! We're doing soft shoe, the whole thing is really synchronized to the music, we're dancing with books, and this number is just generally awesome.

Did I mention that our choreographer is also playing Harold?!

It is definitely my favorite scene in the movie! But as a former Marian, I have to say it is fun on stage as well. But not quite as fun as "Piano Lesson" or the porch scene. ;)

I loved this number!! I was marian in our production and it was SOO much fun, although the choreographer didnt really give me or harold much to do, so we came up with our own thing while the ensemble danced. it was cool though.

I think this might be in the wrong thread. What's up, dude?

Marian the Librarian is obviously one of the best songs in TMM and it gives much of the ensemble, Harold, and Marian a lot to work with.
