Does anyone know if Queenie or Henrietta has good songs? Are these parts good ones?

Hnerietta has a small solo in "Look at Him", but is otherwise a small part with minimal lines and no other solos.
Queenie sings a duet with Lowbutt called "It Takes All Sorts" at the top of Act II, and has a big chunks of another song called "Together." Both of these happen in the same scene, and she only comes on once more after that, but has a HILARIOUS line that stops the show people are laughing so hard!

When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere

Posted: 1/3/05 at 2:28pmWait! Sorry, the line I was thinking about is actually done by Lowbut in "The Collage" but Queenie has another funny line in the song "Together." Queenie, a cat, and "The Cat" are singing to each other becuase the fall in love and Queenie sings "Cause when one's had things easy, one likes a bit of rough and she slides down a couple of octaves on that part and belts it, and then Lowbutt says "Queenie, you loose cat!" and then Queenie makes a face and it was pretty hilarious. Lowbutts line in "The Collage" (the one I was originallyy thinking about) is SIDE-SPLITTINGLY funny if done the right way. Ida, the ducks mother, is looking for him and she goes to Queenie and Lowbutts house and they talk to her through the window and Lowbutt says "How do we know you're not a cat?" (Becuase "The [mean] Cat" has just come through dressed as a duck to try and get Ugly) and Ida says "I beg your pardon?" and Lowbutt says "The last 'duck' to come through here turned out to be a tom cat - one of those nasty transfeatherites." and the entire audience is in tears they're laughing so hard, at least in my show becuase the girl did it *PERFECTLY* otherwise, its pretty stupid!
