Anyone know where I could hear a version of "Mamma's Talkin' Soft"?

It doesn't really count as a cut song since it wasn't added in until the London production, but I really love "Ah But Underneath" and wish it was in the current Follies.

Mama's Talking Soft is also one of the bonus tracks on the Patti Gypsy--something I wish new recordings of classics did, in way of cut songs.

I love all three of Phyllis' numbers, and there are vallid arguments for using each of them, but Ah But Underneath is definitely the one of Sondheim's four new songs for the London Follies (with the exception of the new Loveland, which I used to prefer cuz it was even more ornate and over the top, now I'm not so sure) that could fit in the earlier script. The argument against it is it's a bit too self knowing.

This is the London version but I really miss Don't Let Me Go and Build A Wall in Shrek. They have been removed with no replacements!

Another treasure trove of cut songs is the Ben Bagley "Revisited" series of albums, from which comes one of my favorite cut songs "Everybody Loves You" which was cut from Rodgers and Hart's "I'd Rather Be Right".

And, bk, please try to get Schmidt and Jones to get back the rights to "Our Town"! "Grover's Corners" is too good of a show to sit in limbo!

I agree, but they've had two go-rounds with it to no avail and I don't think they CAN get the rights back now.
