5* Lehrer's appearance in the Cameron Mackintosh tribute concert [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf-eIgFJg4w "Hey Mr Producer"]]. Introduced by Music/StephenSondheim, he makes his entrance at the piano, on a moving platform. When it comes to a stop, he remarks "they promised me seatbelts". He then credits himself for Mackintosh's success, saying "the combined profits of ''Theatre/{{Cats}}'' and ''Tomfoolery''" made Cameron into the man he is today". When talking about Mackintosh's rags-to-riches story, he said "even then, he had exquisite taste in rags". He then goes on to perform "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park", to an audience that includes ''the Queen of the United Kingdom''.
