Performed by: Davis Gaines

Saturday Night (1955) was Stephens Sondheim's professional Broadway debut . . . almost. The show, an adaption of Front Porch in Brooklyn, a play by Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein, the twin brother academy award-winning screenwriting team responsible for, among other things, the timelessly corny screenplay of Casablanca, rose up hopefully for a brief span of either well-received backer's auditions around town during the early months of 1955, before the untimely death of its 40 year-old producer, the celebrated Broadway set designer Lemuel Ayers, buried Saturday Night for good in August of that year.

"ALL FOR YOU" would have been the show's second act ballad, a majestic Richard Rodgers- derived declaration sung by a love-struck ingenue to the hero who was by now in trouble with the law and sorely in need of an encouraging word.
