I start out with my clothes on but when Judge Turpin sings Johanna in Sweeney Todd my clothes come off and I flog myself.... I have danced to many many cast recording in my underwear, but I can't think of one specific one off the top of my head...
My avatar is a reminder to myself. I need lots of reminders...
_LOVE_ that cast album. Marc Shaiman, if you're there, please accept this kiss on the cheek as a token of my gratitude!

"If it weren't for you true blue devotees helping to spread the gospel of Kander and Ebb... We'd all be dancing around in our underwear at home. Fun, yes, but not nearly as satisfying."

Come on, it's only appropriate to dance around in your undies during Let It Go!

another fun thing to do with Judge Turpin's Johanna rendition is to play it while you watch C-SPAN on mute. if you've had enough cocktails, it'll appear to sync up, which is appopriate considering the old letches they usually have on that network. i once found a way to incorporate a kickline into that song after the obligatory rhythmical flogging.
one constant, however, Turpin's "Johanna" is NEVER appropriate to sing at a wedding or quote during a toast.

literally, to flog is to beat severely with a whip or rod. figuratively, it can also be the act of slandering or criticizing something publicly, like a bad review. the word tends to pop up a lot in British musicals.
i love this thread! the media never gives enough attention to the fact that underwear and showtunes just go together.
