use the student no one ever responds to posts there. Here's the question: Does anyone have any good Rodgers and Hammerstein-ish solo songs they can recommend? I am so overwhelmed with choices right now- narrowing down would be helpful. I'm a mezzo female

I heart "The Gentleman Is a Dope" from Allegro!

That's actually the one I was looking at- I love the way Bernadette Peters sings it. It's just so---sad.

Try "The Next Time It Happens". Originally from Pipe Dream, but sung by Andrea McArdle in the stage State Fair (and also by Lea Salonga in the LA production of Flower Drum Song).

I also think you couldn't go wrong with "Loads of Love," "You Don't Tell Me" or "An Orthodox Fool" from No Strings (which is just Richard Rodgers, lyrics and music).
