re: Best Songs Cut From Broadway Musicals

TENTERFIELD SADDLER was cut from the Broadway production of THE BOY FROM OZ, supposedly because it was too "Australian" for Broadway audiences.

 

It was included as a bonus track in the original cast recording.  Later on, Hugh  would sing it in his one-man show   ( Back on Broadway)   because it has dramatic elements and a haunting melody that appealed by themselves.

 

Apologies for the fairly bad audio, but this performance still embodies the beautiful musical tribute by Peter Allen to his family --

He Forgave Me from The Bridges of Madison County. I understood pacing and storytelling wise why it was cut, but man I loved that song.

 

Also kind of straddling the line, but it made me so sad when I found out He Was Tall was cut from the tour version of Cinderella. It was just such a cute, sweet little song that I love in the show.

Mr. Roxy, I miss them, too, but they wouldn't sell today.  When we did them we were bringing theater music back to CD (it was a very bad time back in 1993), and we did them right, with great orchestrations and singers.  Others have done similar stuff since (without even acknowledging our existence) but I don't want to hear this stuff with a piano and a drum - I want it to sound like it came from a cast album.  They were expensive to do, but back then it was an entirely different world and they sold really well.

I so agree with you bk.

 

Even more than the Lost series I miss the Unsung series.

 

I still play those all the time.

I suppose you mean the Judge's version of "Johanna".  I'll go with "Silly People" from A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC and "What Am I Doing Here?" from PROMISES, PROMISES.
