| Speaking of similarities: Have you noticed that "It's in Your Hands Now" from Road Show is the same song (different lyrics, of course) as "The Ballad of Booth" from Assassins? So unusual for Sondheim to recycle songs. |

| Actually "It's In Your Hands Now" is the same as the cut song, "The Flag Song" and part of it remains in "Another National Anthem: | |

| No, they are not "exactly the same." They are not even "sorta the same." The other posters in the thread are correct. The song that got rewritten was "Flag Song," and bits of that song also appear in "Another National Anthem." That's the extent of it. | |

| No, what the previous poster said is correct, Sondheim himself discusses this in either "Finishing the Hat" or "Look I Made A Hat." This is a recycling of "The Flag Song." There are moments at the end during the 'make it proud' section at the end that sort of sound a bit like "Booth," but not really. |
