My friend and I perform duets in our local festival. I was wondering if you could give me information on where and when this song appears in the musical. Also suggestions on how to stage it. Thanks a lot everyone.

It happens near the end of the second act, after Sarah and Adelaide decide not to wait any longer for their men to change. It's not a production number, obviously. Make it rather intimate. After all, they're conspiring to get their way *after* the wedding. Be thoughtful, bouncing ideas off each other. You don't say how old you are, but if there's a special person in your life, think of any annoying little habits you might like to change, and let that be your inspiration. But above all - have fun with it!!

For staging I would suggesting playing with a together- not together theme: During the song there are times when they have the same ideas and sentiments (it is what brings them together for that short time, otherwise, the characters never see each other during the show) and then for a few lines they go off in their own imagination, Like:

(having the same idea, even though only one is singing it) "Slowly intoduce him to domestic life, and if he ever tries to stray from you
Have a pot roast
(going into their own imaginations)
have a headache
Have a baby
Have two
Six
nine!
-Stop!-
(Back on the same wavelength again) Marry the Man today!

So the staging of the song can be small details like them turning away/moving away from each other and then singing to each other/facing the same direction again. Something like that.
hope that helps!
