Could you pick up a quart of choc almond on the way? I'm ravenous.

Second Judge Turpin's Johanna and Love is in the Air (although Love, I Hear fits in Forum better, I like the song standing on its own).

Also -- not necessarily one of Sondheim's best, but I think the tooth-pulling sequence should always be left in Sweeney Todd, too. It shows how abusive Pirelli really is to Tobias and why Tobias might be so quick to latch onto someone like Lovett.

Bang is such a great, dirty little song. I love Rupert and York's version in "Putting it Together."

Is there a CD comprised entirely of cut Sondheim songs?

I second Yankee's question. Anyone know if there's a cut opening for Giants in the Sky? I could swear I've heard it ONCE and I cannot find it anywhere else.

I'm going to hop on the band wagon and say Marry Me a Little!

Malcolm Gets sings the cut "Giants in the Sky" material on Barbara Cook's MOSTLY SONDHEIM.

Wow....I'm surprised no one's mentioned "Something Just Broke." I mean, it was cut from the original production of Assassins. I think it still counts. lol I'm so glad it's on the revival CD. It's an amazing song.

CJ: "Something Just Broke" wasn't cut from the original Assassins, it wasn't written untill the London premire.

Calvin: "Love is in the Air" was cut in favor of "Comedy, Tonight," not "Love, I Hear." Just to clear those things up.


As for mine, I'll go with:
"Marry Me A Little" from Company
"Bang!" from A Little Night Music
"The Echo Song" from ...Forum
"Parlor Songs" from Sweeney Todd
Turpin's "Johanna" from Sweeney Todd
