A Canadian spin on a SPEED DATING TONIGHT! song
Here's a link to a performance by Lee Clapp from last fall's production of SPEED DATING TONIGHT! at McGill University. The Bus Boy song has a fantasy bit that is supposed to be tailored to the particular fancy of the singer, the production, or the locale and their director Jonathan Patterson has done a super job with that. Watch out Justin Trudeau. It's all in keeping with the collaborative nature of SDT! and my particular belief that a composer is an important part of the team, not some kind of god-genius.
