Did You Know?
| Trivia | During the closing number, when Berger sings the third verse, background singers are singing lines from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. "Eyes, Look your Last, Arms take your last embrace" and "The lips, oh you the doors, of breath, sealed with a righteous kiss" are both from Romeo's final monologue. It's followed by "The rest is silence," the Prince's last line in Hamlet. See more » |
