"Class" is when you're wrapped in
Harris Tweed
And always look impeccable
In what you're wrapped in.
"Class" is when you demonstrate
Your breeding,
Like for instance when you call
A waiter "Captain."
That is why
A "room" is a "flat"
You don't say "tie,"
You call it "cravat."
Say you drink from a "tumbler" Instead
Of a "glass." that's the mark
Of someone who has what I call "class."

"I don't have any emotional reaction to 'Saturday Night' at all -- except fondness... It's not bad stuff for a 23-year-old. There are some things that embarrass me so much in the lyrics -- the missed accents, the obvious jokes. But I decided, Leave it. It's my baby pictures. You don't touch up a baby picture -- you're a baby!"
-Stephen Sondheim

Saturday Night would have been Stephen Sondheim's debut as a composer/lyricist on Broadway in 1955, but due to the death of it's original producer Lemuel Ayers and other circumstances, the project was abandoned. Forty-two years later, on December 17, 1997, it received its world premiere at the Bridwell Theatre in London. On May 14, 1999, Saturday Night had its American premiere at O'Rourke Center for the Performing Arts in Chicago. It opened off-Broadway on March 26, 2000 at the Second Stage Theatre, where it ran for 74 performances. Directed and Choreographed by Kathleen Marshall; Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick; Musical Direction by Rob Fisher; Produced by Second Stage Theatre.
