Speaking of HONEYMOON IN VEGAS, "Isn't That Enough?" is a lovely song. Plus it's a pivotal story moment for the mother/son character relationship. I can hear cabaret performers making good use of it in their acts.


Just remembering you've had an "and" When you're back to "or" Makes the "or" mean more than it did before

Why would heather's be considered a flop.

Almost anything from THE LAST SHIP, but I have to agree with an earlier post - "The Night When the Pugilist Learned How to Dance." Some of the best lyrics I have ever heard, and a lovely, lilting tune that is immediately memorable.

"How 'Bout a Dance" - Bonnie & Clyde
"Lovesick" - Women on the Verge
"It All Fades Away" - Bridges of Madison County
"Evermore Without You" - Woman in White


For songs that people TRY to sing and there have been several rough renditions:


"I Will Prevail" - Wonderland
"Pulled" - The Addams Family

I also really like If You Ever See Me Talking to a Sailor from The Last Ship. Surprised no one mentioned it. It could be a really good belty audition song.

You guys have nailed most of my favorites from Bridges, title of show, Little Women, and Jane Eyre. 


I would add "Once Upon A Time" from Brooklyn the Musical.

I don't know about them becoming standards but I could see some of the songs from Doctor Zhivago getting picked up if people like the album. Say what you will about the score but it sold me on the strength of the singers. "Now" is the obvious choice but I think "On the Edge of Time With You" is equally strong.


As for the rest of the show, "Watch the Moon" isn't the strongest but it has a sweet love song/haunting lullaby vibe. It's really not a concert song but "Blood on the Snow" is one of my favorite songs from the show. I don't know how much anyone performs "I Still Believe" from Miss Saigon but there's a similar song in Zhivago. It's like "What Is This Feeling" from Wicked mashed up with "I Still Believe" because it's a duet for the wife and mistress but it starts out almost like a love song and unlike the latter, they're actually in conversation. Well, it's their inner monologues but they're in the same room. It's not going to topple the duets from Side Show or Wicked in popularity but I could see people performing it looking for a duet for two women. 


I don't consider Heathers a flop but that album has its share of standouts.


I'm still in the process of listening to the Scandalous album but I think "Why Can't I" has enough in common with other popular audition songs that I could see it catching on.

Obviously never made it to Broadway, but I think LOVE NEVER DIES will mostly live on through "'Til I Hear You Sing" being a big time audition song.
