"The Showbiz", a number featuring Harry Houdini and Evelyn Nesbit in Ragtime. You can actually hear this one on the "Songs From Ragtime" recording that was done in Toronto prior to the New York production. Also "He Wanted To Say" has a totally different bridge on the Toronto recording.

Is there any recording of "Too Much Love For One Heart" from Miss Saigon available?
Sheet music?

i LOVE "right on time" and "wonder" from the wedding singer! the are both GREAT songs! i think they should have kept them in there and still add "someday" (plus laura sings all 3 )

"Ten Percent"- Chicago
"But I ate lobster thermador (sp?) last night...and what did you have?" Cracks me up every time.

The Lady's Got Potential from Evita. Tim Rice at his finest, although I do love The Art of the Possible very much as well.

Right on Time - The Wedidng Singer
The Girl in 14G - Mille

And I never heard it, but "My 8 Men" form THE WEDDING SINGER seems pretty freakin' hilarious.

"Love is in the Air," cut from Forum. Cutting in favor of "Comedy Tonight" was a wise move, certainly, but it's still a lovely little song.

eta: And yes, I know it's still there under the opening to Act II, but that doesn't count. Updated On: 10/10/06 at 08:50 PM

- Agree with "Body Beautiful Beale" from Grey Gardens
- "If not for me, for her" from The Woman in White

Most of the FOLLIES cuts.

Fox Trot!, All Things Bright and Beautiful, Pleasant Little Kingdom, etc.

The Man I love was cut. Interesting, because it's such a standard now.

Oh, and I totally hated the change to "Now That I've Seen Her." It so weakened the character of Ellen.
