...music is lively and friendly. If anyone feels about to die from reading period's caffeine irritability, the best antidote is a dose of the Viennese Coffee Song. Perfectly written by O'Donnell and David Thomas, perfectly directed by Doug Hughes and perfectly performed by Japes Emerson, Paul Redford and David Reiffel, the song is a rousing drinking tune beginning with coffee cups raised high in the air, and proceeding through late-night camaraderie ("We'll drink and then we'll stay up all night") to an exuberant and writhing finale as Emerson downs a whole pot of brew...
