I LOVE the two cut songs from Once on this Island I've heard -- Come Down from the Tree, and When Daniel Marries Me.
Beautiful songs.

Posted: 7/29/12 at 11:53amOnce I Loved A Boy from Carrie. The demo is so haunting, beautiful and powerful.

Posted: 7/29/12 at 12:36pmI've never heard it, so I have no idea how good it is, but I have always wanted to hear Burn Her (?) from Spamalot.

I want the Good Times Back- from The Little Mermaid
I know it was in the Broadway production, but it has been cut and replaced in the Netherlands production, which is supposed to be the revised "perfect" production.
Build a Wall- Shrek
Once again was in the Broadway production and was cut from the West End version. It was my favorite song in the show and one of the few character driven songs in the entire score. Its a great men's power ballad, which we don't hear very often even if it sounds like "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty

Posted: 7/29/12 at 1:13pm"There Won't Be Trumpets" from Anyone Can Whistle has made it's way into most, if not all subsequent productions after being cut from the original.

I'm a big fan of the song Loosing Track of Time from "Summer of '42"
Here's Farah Alvin singing it from "Even If It Only Runs a Minute".

I've always really loved All Things Bright and Beautiful and Who Could Be Blue/Little White House, both cut from Follies.
I've heard/read that there are alternate lyrics to Little White House than the ones that can be heard on most recordings. I believe they've been described as more cynical - i'd love to read them sometime. :)

Posted: 7/29/12 at 2:04pm"It Ain't Over Till the Fat Lady Sings" from Hairspray was a lot of fun. However, it's understandable why it was cut.

I'm also very partial to buns..
#18Great Cut Songs
Posted: 7/29/12 at 2:17pmI really liked More to the Story from Shrek. Unfortunately the staging was very, very similar to I Know The Truth (Aida).
#19Great Cut Songs
Posted: 7/29/12 at 2:22pmAlways liked "Once I Loved A Boy" from Carrie and "Smile, Girls" from Gypsy.

Posted: 7/29/12 at 2:26pm"I Want the Good Times Back" from The Little Mermaid. Such a shame it was replaced. "Love and War" was hilarious too, especially when some random Harvard dude walked by and saw Elle talking to herself.

Posted: 7/29/12 at 2:32pmI love "Pleasant Little Kingdom", which originally lead directly into "Too many Mornings" in FOLLIES. You can hear John McMartin and Dorothy Collins do in on the first Sondheim Tribute album (the "scrabble" album).

That's another great one. Oh, Dorothy Collins. How we miss you...
#23Great Cut Songs
Posted: 7/29/12 at 2:54pmI love Small World/Mama's Talkin Soft and (cut from the original production) There Won't Be Trumpets.
#24Great Cut Songs
Posted: 7/29/12 at 3:56pmI actually like "Wasting Away" better than "I Want Those Good Times Back."
