I like "Why We Like Spelling" from Spelling Bee.

I also like "Why We Like Spelling"

Also, one of my favorite songs is "When I First Met Him" cut from Lippa's Wild Party

"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?

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.

A couple faves...

"Come Down from the Tree" from Once on This Island
"Pink Taffeta Sample Size 10" from Sweet Charity
"The Man I Love" from Lady Be Good
"Why Go Anywhere At All?" from The Gay Life
"When Messiah Comes" from Fiddler on the Roof

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

"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

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.
