I saw the show on Mother's Day, I was in the very first row(B) on the left, and when the parade on the runway began, my eyes began to water. I jokingly said perhaps I was allergic to pastels, but back home in Ann Arbor, same thing,-listening to the new Sunday recording, until one day , I just sat in the car in the Parking Lot, not with watery eyes, but with those kind of shoulder- shaking tears, a healthy cry, I guess. Is it that the scene is such a Hopeful setting off that touches us? When I first listened to the Channing Lp, Sunday was the only song I liked ; I had to see productions with Rogers and Bailey to 'get' the show; It also could be that I was 18 when I first saw the show, and now I'm 67; But when I cried, I felt joyful-With The title song/number, my cheek muscles were sore from smiling; I hope they start the tour right back at Detroit's Fisher theater!

That's such a beautiful post. You pulled tears from me, as the number does. I sometimes watch the "Wall-E" opening to take in how this iconic Herman number has so informed our culture's response to musical comedy. Yes, it's even magnificent in an animated film about dystopia. It's mysterious, isn't it? But maybe "Sunday Clothes..." is the definitive show tune, and in a moment -- any moment -- it can stand in for all of the musical theater magic in our history. And just lift us. Your post certainly did.
