Hee!

I second this recommendation very much.  Assassins is one of my 
favorite musicals.  Sadly, its actual *productions* seem to be dogged 
by the dread "not a good time for it right now" curse.  <sigh>

LOL!  Oh, that is simply priceless (as well as eerily canonically
appropriate).  'Let me prove worthy of your love,' indeed!
But who would you cast as the other half of the duet? 
SpeculativeInLoveWithTomFrustratedSpinsterEvil!McGonagall, perhaps?  

Aw, man, Heidi.  Now I'm going to have Squeaky!Barty stuck in my head 
all day, you realize.  

"I did it so there'd be a trial, and Voldemort would get to be
a witness, and Rita Skeeter would write about him, and then he'd
save the WORLD!"

"Where's my prize?"
