Yes, yes and yes! Christian Borle is absolutely marvelous. He brings hot sauce to every character he plays. Don't forget he was Smee/George Darling in the live broadcast of Peter Pan from NBC. I didn't recognize him in the pirate makeup until I saw the cast list.
I like this song because I have been a Christian Borle fan since Legally Blonde and they really don't utilize his singing skills much in the show so this song is great.

I don't particularly like Tom, but just 15 seconds into his part in this song, he'd won me over and made this my favorite song. He does such a great job.

This isn't on the soundtrack!?? It's been my favorite number in the entire show; and there are some great original numbers in this show! I adore Christian Borle; I didn't know anything about him, or that he was a musical actor until I looked up info after this number. Last week his "Another Openin' ", gave me chills. Tom is-by far-my favorite character! I can't wait for this show each week. I'm looking forward to getting the soundtrack.

I love how Tom's such a nice guy and then he steps into this hard-ass role and totally owns it. Christian Borle's really fantastic.
I havnt even seen Smash I just love Christian Borle
Highly recommend if you still haven't seen it yet
And yet almost 60 years later no one has found a "tomato like her"
We’ve had like 30
Emmett took a turn
Yes, yes and yes! Christian Borle is absolutely marvelous. He brings hot sauce to every character he plays. Don't forget he was Smee/George Darling in the live broadcast of Peter Pan from NBC. I didn't recognize him in the pirate makeup until I saw the cast list.
And max in sound of music live for NBC
and marvin in Falsettos. such a versatile man!
this is, pretty strangely, my most favorite song from the whole Smash from the first time i heard it
same but the reason it's my fav is bc i really really like Christian Borle's voice and the choreography is the best ✨
When he sang this on the show my mouth was hanging open the whole time...
Bravo :)
Who wants a animatic of this?
An*
"Which brings me back to that dumb blonde", I laugh everytime :D
I’m a dancer and I have done a dance to this song and OMG you guys from legally blonde
I like this song because I have been a Christian Borle fan since Legally Blonde and they really don't utilize his singing skills much in the show so this song is great.
Sorry but Christian Borle is my Mr. Zanuck. Hands down. Sorry other guy. ;)
nothing but respect for MY mr. zanuck
he did this better than how it was supposed to be performed
Loved Christian Borle the minute I heard him on the Legally Blonde the Musical soundtrack. Love his voice.
Knowing that he has been chosen as Vox in the Hazbin hotel if he does not sing this i will be sad 😂😂
Stayed Gone was actually based on this song so you aren't far off!
@@rey_overlordFR??? WHERE WAS THIS SAID??
Tom is my favorite! he's so funny, and a great writer, and is such a good friend. I want a friend like Tom
I like the way Tom sings "can someone light my damn cigar?" so much more than the other Zanuck ;)
Oh man this song is so great. It got stuck in my head as soon as I watched the episode.
Christian Borle needs to sing more on this show. His voice is a little underestimated.
"I'll make another movie star!" nearly wipe out the chorus
Goddammit. It's stuck in my head.
pure talent
'Could someone light my damn cigar'. Best line out of that song
This song reminds me of Hot Chocolate from Polar Express. I could be crazy
ItsCrazyAlyssa SAMEEEEEE
This is my most favorite song of SMASH! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!
