Posted: 7/16/05 at 8:32pmI just bought it last night. Yes i am a bit slow. But i am in love with it now. My favorite is What was a Women to do.
Kristin Chenoweth could barely control a Great Dane she trotted onto the stage. "Great, they gave me a dog that weighs five times what I do", she quipped. For the record, she weighs 93 pounds, and has a Maltese.

My favorites are the last 2 songs on the Cd....I can't pick just one. (Although "Here I Am" is really starting to grow on me.)

Posted: 7/16/05 at 8:39pmGreat Big Stuff was my first and perhaps still my fav very slightly. Like Zis Like Zat really is close behind though, as is Love Is Your Legs, always loved that one. Err, I love them all, but yeah.

I can't choose - it's one of the few CD's I have where I'll put it in to listen to a particular song and then end up playing the whole thing through.
My dad is obsessed with Chimp in a Suit. He walks around the house singing it, off-key. It's hilarious.

several favorites in varying categories
to sing/ listen to: great big stuff, here i am, dirty rotten number
because its just funny: what was a woman to do
because it mirrors my life far too closely: give them what they want (except the conning people part), love sneaks in

I have to go with "Love Sneaks In".
It is so beautiful and comes at the perfect point in the show and John Lithgow is just fantastic with the interpretation.

Posted: 7/16/05 at 9:54pm"Dirty Rotten Number", "Love is My Legs", and "The More We Dance"

I love the version of "Nothing is not wonderful to be true" that Sherie sings in the bonus songs. The version on stage was my favourite in the musical, but the bonus version is my favourite on the Cast Recording.

I agree that HERE I AM is a great song. It is so catchy!

Posted: 7/16/05 at 11:06pmThey're all really great, but anything from Joanna Gleason is my favorite. What was a woman to do has a certain comedy that only she can bring that I just love.

Posted: 7/17/05 at 1:08amWhat was a Woman to do?, Great Big Stuff, Here I Am, Oklahoma?, Nothing is too Wonderful, Dirty Rotten Number, and the Finale. That's a lot but who cares.

I think "Oklahoma" is hysterical- Sara Gettelfinger has me rolling every time I listen. The lyrics are as blunt as can be and I love it (much like the nature of the show which I adore).
My favorite moment: "You can watch me blow those little f**kers heads clean off!"
"I need to know that someone out there cares...Are you there?"

Comedy: "Love is My Legs"- just kills me.
Ballad: Tied between "Love Sneaks In" & "Nothing is Too Wonderful" Yes even the duet version is soo pretty. ( ah jeez)

Norbert Leo Butz quotes about John Lithgow: "He's really clumsy. One of the joys in life is to watch a great big huge man totally wipe out backstage. It takes John about three minutes to hit the floor. It's like watching a Great Sequoia falling gracelessly."

As noone said it before:
All about Ruprecht!
But actually this score has very few flaws, only the more we dance doesn't really get my vote.
#23re: DRS favorite song
Posted: 7/17/05 at 3:45pmThe whole score impresses me, but I'm partial to "Oklahoma?", "Chimp in a Suit" and "Here I Am".
Praying Decca Broadway will put "Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope" on CD!

Wow, so difficult to choose, just because I love them all so much.
The song that I got stuck in all my friends heads and was stuck in mine immediately: Great Big Stuff
The song that I love to see performed, but isn't quite as funny just on the cd: Ruprecht
Just plain funny: Love is My Legs
