I've always associated Sarah's part of this duet with My White Knight from The Music Man, which has a lot of the same sentiment,
Interesting. I've never paid that much attention to "My White Knight"; it doesn't do much for me musically and lyrically its function seems to be taken up already by "Goodnight, My Someone" and Marian's mother's half of the "Piano Lesson."
except that Harold Hill doesn't have a part in the song to refute Marian's vision.
No, but he does have "The Sadder But Wiser Girl for Me," which is an equally flawed assumption about his romantic future. And you get the wonderful swap-off of theme songs when Harold finally notices he's in love with Marian—he finds himself marveling sweet dreams be yours, dear and she's humming a hundred and ten cornets.
I sometimes think that Sarah and Marian would get on, or possibly go to therapy together, after they both discover that they've fallen madly for incurable rogues and that they aren't actually all that unhappy about it.
Heh. Now I want to know why there aren't more webcomics about characters from classic musicals hanging out with each other.
