Posted: 3/4/08 at 9:33pmIf you would chose a song from one show and wished that it was in another, and it will still work or make the story even better...what would it be?

Posted: 3/4/08 at 9:55pmNo it doesn't. Sweeney Todd needn't be bastardized by poperetta crapola.

"My Unfortunate Erection" from Spelling Bee could be in A Chorus Line
"Popular" from Wicked could be sung by Elle to Paulette in Legally Blonde.

""On My Own" from Les Mis could be sung by Johanna in Sweeney Todd."
I'm just curious how that would work. Please explain.

The score to The Pirate Queen could go in a dumpster and work much better.
Oh, sorry, you did say "and put it in another SHOW". My bad.

"On the Street Where You Live" sung by the Phantom in POTO
"Put on a Happy Face" sung by Mrs. Lovett to Sweeney
"The Dark I Know Well" sung by Charlie Brown
You could switch the songs "Santa Fe" in RENT and Newsies

Posted: 3/5/08 at 1:10amI think "Pretty Women" could work in Company the same way it is in Putting it Together with "Have I Got a Girl For You" going right into "Pretty Women", but it might mean having to sacrifice "Someone is Waiting" and that wouldn't be cool. Also Peter could probably get away with singing "Good Thing Going" from Merrily We Roll Along, but really, why?

Posted: 3/5/08 at 1:29amI always though there should be an annual Broadway song swap week, where shows select one token song to be excised for a particular performance and inserted into another. Of course, to keep all participating shows equal, the songs would be randomly drawn from a hat. Think of the anticipation and excitement when "Phantom" has to perform "Omigod You Guys" on a Thursday evening, or when "Wicked" draws "Roll in the Hay" for a Sunday matinee, and even the thrill oh hearing "You're the One That I Want" onstage at "The Lion King"! I say we have a winner. Let's get this moving. I can barely wait to hear Laura Benanti belt "Whatever Happened To My Part" in "Gypsy"!
...And so, there I was at the stage door for "Equus". The enthused avalanche of "Harry Potter" fans was literally pushing me into the barricades. As I was thrust face-first into Daniel Radcliffe's hat, I suddenly felt the thumb of a lanky gentleman behind me pressing firmly into my back. It was then that I realized that both of his hands had Playbills, and that both arms were outstretched in front of me...

Posted: 3/5/08 at 1:29amI've never had a double post before! Hoorah! And, while "The Producers" was still open, I always envisioned Elphaba dazzling with "Haben Sie Gehort Das Deutche Band!".
