Welcome to the Nauvoo Cabaret, a parody review featuring the hilarious lyrics of Stephen Sondheim Smith! I first encountered Smith's delightfully wry versifying in a bit of email he sent me in 1996. I'm pleased to reproduce those lyrics here, along with one modest effort from myself.

(Just to be clear, the pseudonymous Mr. Smith is an actual correspondent of mine who contributes these lyrics via email, not someone I invented. Enjoy!)
