I completely agree. Why not cut "People" and the superfluous "The Music that makes me dance". We could add "My Man" but she wouldn't be able to sing that too so we can just close out on Fanny tap dancing away (Like how the current "The Music Man" now ends) But she's not a great tapper....

The point I was trying to make about the Lupone/Beanie comparison was that Lupone was a world class talent who was assigned one of he most difficult scores ever written for a female voice. If she had trouble, OK, but it was still a world class talent and voice having trouble with the sustainability of a part.

That's not Beanie.

WOW!! It takes a Broadway hater to point out that the song CABARET was WRITTEN, tested and work-shopped for Minnelli - she was the first person to even look at the music...i.e without Liza, the song and indeed the whole score would sound like something written for Tammy Grimes!

She can do whatever she wants to with it!
