What is "Taylor the Latte Boy" from? I found a random audio clip of Cheno singing it on the Rosie O'Donnell Show from several years ago.

I believe that Latte Boy is not from a show.

govener - you are correct - taylor the latte boy is not from a show - it's a song by the team Goldrich and Heisler

Cheno did sing it on Rosie and plans to record it on her upcoming second album, but Susan Egan also does her own rendition of it on her new Coffee House

a lot of broadway people have performed it at various benefits - john tartaglia actually sang it at Empty-Handed - it was hilarious!!!

The Schmuel Song from L5Y is such a good story song!

My first thought, too, was Meadowlark--seems like a good "showy" audition song. (Is that good?)

I think "Elegies" and "New World" are great ideas too. "Stars and the Moon" is short and very pretty.

Maltby and Shire all the way,

Closer Than Ever and Starting Here, Starting Now have amazing story songs.

"Life Story" from Closer Than Ever. The most beautiful, and chucklingly (I made that word up) song ever written for the stage.
