In the Same Boat Completed Original Broadway Cast of Curtains (Ft. David Hyde Pierce, Edward Hibbert, Jason Danieley, Jill Paice, Jim Newman, Karen Ziemba, Matt Farnsworth, Megan Sikora, Noah Racey & Original Broadway Cast of Curtains)

[CIOFFI, spoken]
Folks, the answer's been staring us in the face all along! Aaron, you wrote all three versions of "In the Same Boat" to fit the same orchestra parts, right?

[AARON, spoken]
Right

[CIOFFI, spoken]
Then if all three songs fit the same arrangement, they must all fit with each other! That's what will give this number the kick in the derriere it's been needing. The whole company singing three different songs at the same time — it'll make "Fugue for Tinhorns" sound like "Frere Jacques"!

[BELLING, spoken]
But what about the murders?

[CIOFFI, spoken]
Oh, will you forget about the murders for a second! I want to run this now! We'll have Rob Hood and the ladies trying to reach the steamboat to Wichita before the farmers lose their land. Everybody on board with that?

[AARON, spoken]
Aye aye, captain!

[CIOFFI, spoken]
That's Lieutenant. It's just Georgia at the top. Sasha?

(SASHA sounds a note)

Start it off slow:

[GEORGIA]
In the same boat, on the same sea
Shakin' inside as the tide keeps risin'
Nary a ship, nary a sail
Nary a soul on the whole horizon...
