Together, Wherever We Go



On this day, in nineteen hundred fifty-nine

A musical written by Sondheim and Styne 

Opened for the first time on Broadway ...

About a stripper who'd come a long way



With some wonderful songs we all know

Including Together, Wherever We Go ...

Which was left out of the film in sixty-two

(One of those cuts to make a better brew)



But left in were Small World - a big hit ...

(Johnny Mathis would win big with it)

and Everything's Coming Up Roses ...

(An optimistic song, one supposes ...)



And perhaps the best known from the show

For it identified the star from the tip to the toes

Let Me Entertain You was its biggest number

And would make Gypsy - memorable thunder



- Tristram
