Stephen Colbert... in Concert!

Specifically, he will be playing the role of Harry in the New York Philharmonic concert version of Stephen Sondheim's Company. If you're a Colbert fan who's not familiar with Company, it's a great show and the part is very well suited to Stephen's voice. His character is the principle singer of a song called "Sorry-Grateful". Here's a clip of the song from the recent -- and wonderful -- Broadway revival (featuring Keith Buterbaugh as Harry):

Oh, and in case you didn't know, the concert will star Neil Patrick Harris. Does anybody still need proof he can sing? Really? Okay, fine. Here's Neil showing how damn good he is with Sondheim:
