Ethel and Donald!
The Original Sally: Ethel Merman sings "You don' t need analyzin'; It is not so surprisin'" in counterpoint to Donald O'Connor's "I hear singing and there's no one there" in one of the Musical Theatre's most famous duets, "You're Just in Love".

Look What the Critics Have Said about "Madam"
NEW YORK TIMES, 1950: "In addition to being amusing, it is genuinely touching...one of Berlin's most enchanting scores, fresh and beguiling...lyrics with grace and humor ...a bountiful show that throws a little stardust around the theatre and sets the audience to roaring."
NEW YORK TIMES, 1995: "Sailing on one of Irving Berlin's most rhythmically propulsive scores, CALL ME MADAM soars like a musically-powered balloon. And what a ride it turns out to be!"
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, 1995: "A reminder of how much sheer fun it used to be to go to the theater!"
