| But Herr Schultz is intended to be rather schmaltzy and sentimental (you think "Pineapple" isn't?), especially given his status as outsider which the politics of the time, personified most overtly in that scene by Ernst, is very much against and being used as a scapegoat. Gilford's version is wonderful, but I remember years ago seeing another performer in a nightclub do an excellent job of it. It works as a standalone number too. Regardless of what Kander & Ebb wrote years later, and after years of my listening to it on the OCR, I still think it's a wonderful song, and I miss it in productions. |
