I love how they start on the street but are suddenly on stage. And I wonder if Arthur wrote the script for the announcer "perhaps the greatest musical ever written" 
Especially the guy that said POW!!!

That's a hot commercial.
I don't know why, but those clips of the score sound so sexy to me. I know, weird.
