I personally love "Tommy's Poem" from Carrie (although it was inserted into the new workshop) and "We'll Have Tomorrow" from LSoH. And of course, "Feeling Electric" is good too, from what was Feeling Electric, now Next to Normal.
And several songs from the pre-Broadway Lestat. I also enjoy "Marking Time" from Pippin-are there any Pippin experts here who knows where that song fit in in the original script?
What about everyone else?

Posted: 1/23/10 at 8:36pmI love the Momma's Talkin' Soft counterpoint for Small World in Gypsy.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

"Ten Percent" from Chicago. A comic gem.
"Please, Sir" from The Act. One of the most unusual theatre songs ever written.
"Uptown, Downtown" from Follies. Love it, why was it replaced? (I know why. The question was rhetorical.)

Posted: 1/23/10 at 8:40pmI forgot about "When Daniel Marries Me" from Once on This Island! I still think they should try and fit it back in one of these days. It's beautiful.

Me too, Spork! Amy Spanger ROCKS that song!
Taz, I'd love to hear the cut song from Fiddler... I didn't know that one existed.
I also love the whole "apples" prologue from Annie that's a bonus track on the OBCR.

TENTERFIELD SADDLER was cut from the Broadway production of THE BOY FROM OZ. It is a beautiful song and had biographical references to Peter Allen's life.
It was restored in the Australian arena tour and the audiences loved the way Hugh Jackman sang it - sitting down on the stairs and singing this haunting song. You could hardly hear a pin drop in the huge Sydney Entertainment Center - as everyone listened to it raptly.
At least it was included in the OBCR - so we did not miss it from the recorded musical score.

Also, "No One Has Ever Loved Me" segueing into "I Love Fosca" in the Broadway production of Sondheim's PASSION.
It appeared in the London production and Michael Ball's voice hit the roof singing this incredible song of love.

So much Sondheim--Who Could be Blue, All Things Bright and Beautiful, Uptown/Downtown from Follies, Bang! and Silly People from Night Music, Second Midnight from ITW, Prayers from Pacific Overtures, Honey from Merrily, Happily Ever After, Marry me a Little and Multiples of Amys from Company, etc etc...
I don't actually like Fiorello that much, but I LOVE the cut song Where do I Go From Here? from it. Same with If You Leave Me Now cut from The Happy Time.
Come Down from the Tree and When Daniel Marries from Once on this Island...

Posted: 1/23/10 at 11:04pmSince no one answered your question, "Marking Time" was where "Extraordinary" is. Schwartz liked it, Fosse didn't and said there needed to be a better number, more up and appropriate for the moment. Schwartz wrote "Extraordinary" to replace it and now agrees with Fosse's assessment.
