The fact that Jason never did a full version of Forum is a sadness I will never be able to fully express with words. Still, wonderful to find a video of this.

We have the director of the original 1962 Broadway production of the show, the legendary George Abbott, to thank for this song. Originally the opening number was a laid-back, charming Sonheim song, "Love Is In the Air"; during the out-of-town tryout (Philadelphia, I believe) Abbott insisted on replacing it with something that would let the audience know they were about to see a broad comedy full of vaudeville pratfalls and puns. Jerome Robbins -- who was not the choreographer on the show -- came in to stage this number, which turned the fortunes of the show around and made it a hit. Along with his insistence on adding "Steam Heat" to "The Pajama Game" and -- a truly inspired stroke -- "Some Other Time" to "On The Town," this guarantees Abbott a place in theater Heaven!
