Getting Married Today (song)

"Getting Married Today" is a patter song from the 1970 musical Company, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Sung by the manic Amy on her wedding day, the trappings of marriage send her into a panic. The song is among the most difficult for musical theatre performers, with one verse containing 68 words to be sung in roughly 11 seconds: where a successful performance “depends on clear diction, implicit pitch accuracy and breath support alongside imperative comedic timing.”

Often incorrectly known as "Not Getting Married Today", the Evening Standard cited stand-out performances by Katie Finneran in a 2011 New York Philharmonic concert production and Jonathan Bailey in Marianne Elliot's 2018 gender-swapped West End production.
