Amazing... and must have been so much fun!   When I was a teenager I went to acting school every summer (Emerson College - Boston) and we did something similar one year.  We got a permit to block off a street for 15 minutes - tons of fun :o)

Robert thinks we should organize an orchestra flash mob, LOL! That could be fun, though. We get a lot of string players to memorize a piece, with lots of fun harmony...

This brings back so much memory! Back in the early 80s, the movie was dubed into Chinese in P.R.China but the song was still singing in English. I was in nursing school then and convinced a bunch of classmates to perform this on stage. Most of the audience didn’t understand a word of English but it was an instant hit!  Do Re Mi was my nick name for quite some time.

Thank you for posting this. It is awsome, I cried because of the beauty of it and the homesickness I felt for Europe
