This is by no means the definitive version of these song. But I've had 'Kiss Me/Ladies in Their Sensitivites' from Sondheim's Sweeney Todd on repeat on my iPod for ages. So whilst I enjoy Victor Garber, Sarah Rice, Edmund Lydeck and Jack Williams pretty regularly, this version is still good.
It's from the first US tour of Sweeney which starred George Hearn and Angela Lansbury. So, this is Cris Groenendaal, Betsy Joslyn, Edmund Lydeck and Jack Williams. I love the almost patter-song quality music that Anthony (Groenendaal) and Johanna (Joslyn) have, as well as the lyrics-specifically the bit about the lack of a gate and a 'reticule'. And then Williams does have an amazing voice.
You should also read the users description for a bit of laughs.
Also, fun fact, George Hearn and Betsy Joslyn dated for a while, including during this show-in which he plays her father.
