This, for me, is the best song cut from a Broadway musical. Not because it's a particularly good song, or that it's even from that great a show, but that it offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of the composer/lyricist. I shall explain.
Let's assume for a moment that you're Jim Steinman. You're finally getting your chance at Broadway after years in the rock world, and struggling on other shows that either never made it past Off-Broadway/regional or were major but never quite managed to make the Great White Way. Dance of the Vampires is your ticket. And you can't tell people how many things are the opposite of what you want. Your producer(s) bought an opera, and decided it needed to be a musical comedy. Your temperamental star is writing all of his own jokes, and cutting those of his co-star(s). Your choreographer can't choreograph. The show at the Minskoff is becoming a runaway train. (Depending on whose version of the story you believe, Jim would either get fired or quit in short order.)
They want a comedic number for the villagers in the first act just before the innkeeper is brought back after being found frozen in the woods. And, in your own quirky, bizarre way, you intend to deliver. See, you had to learn to live with the way things are, so now they have to.
This never even made it into rehearsals, although sheet music for it exists if anyone wants to give it a go. But just look at the lyrics, and you'll see what happens on a project when someone is so done with everyone's shit.
This is the lyrics to "Learn To Live With It," from Dance of the Vampires.

I forgot about Making Good! Stephanie J Block recorded it on her album so at least it lives on there.

Second Midnight from Into the Woods is a favorite as is the cut bridge of Children Will Listen.

Who Could Be Blue? Cut from Follies.

My favorite song from Shrek's stage version was cut from the Bway rendition - More To The Story. It is so perfect for Sutton's voice. I can see how it's too serious for a children's show, but god there's so much depth in this song and her performance.

I ADORE "Second Midnight," particularly the sections that eventually became 'Children Will Listen."
