Loved this song when it was in the play. A very sexy entrance to introduce Glinda.

[@wesleyfulton2186]

WOW! I want to go back in time to see this

[@Hwilki]

My favorite song… and Ms Ann sings it SPLENDIDLY! Her intonation instantly calls up imagery of warm summer evenings… totally effervescent. She is beautiful as Glinda!

Does anyone know if Ms. Duquesnay is still performing?. I remember her from Bring in the Noise Bring in the Funk and Jelly's Last Jam. She has an amazing, powerful voice. I keep hoping to see her in another show someday.

[@btheatre1]

Yes she is. I know for sure last year she performed an event but I don’t know what the lady is up to currently

[@misssade2001]

Ms Duquesnay has taken a hiatus-

[@joshuacheshire5859]

need to see no bad news from this!!

[@btheatre1]

Soon…please be patient…

[@JoelBrewton]

Damn, what a voice! This is one of the songs that unfortunately ALWAYS seems to get cut from more contemporary productions. That being said, would someone please explain the watermelon motif to me? Is it meant to be a more satirical style, or a re-claiming of the imagery?

[@btheatre1]

A re-claiming of the imagery by the director Geoffrey Holder.

I love this song ! If you have the performance from the Original Broadway Run ( 1975 - 1979 ) , please share it! I know its rare but I'll love to see it since I adore this production so much.
