Answer: The Sound of Music

Captain Von Trapp has been hearing word that the Anschluss is approaching, and is formulating a method of evading the grasp of the Nazis.

Answer: Sweet Charity

'If My Friends Could See Me Now', with music by Cy Coleman and lyrics by Dorothy Fields, is a number from the 1966 Broadway musical "Sweet Charity".
