I've just been to a drama school production of
Sideshow which is not a musical I'm particularly familiar with (loved it though!). However, when the big number which ends Act 1 (
Who Will Love Me As I Am) began, I suddenly thought "I've heard this before." Nope, I hadn't ever heard it before, but it bears an unbelievable resemblance to
For Good. Or, should I say,
For Good bears an unbelievable resemblance to
Who Will Love Me As I Am which pre-dates it by a good five years. Here's a YouTube vid of Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner, the two original stars of the show singing the song - have a listen and see if you agree with me....
