Making The Best Sondheim CD

Posted: 4/17/06 at 4:33pm

Hey everyone! I am putting together a Sondheim CD to celebrate my CD Burner working again, so help me put together the greatest Sondheim Celebration CD. 1.3 hours long. As many tracks as you can fit. I love every Sondheim show. GO!

BSoBW2: I punched Sondheim in the face after I saw Wicked and said, "Why couldn't you write like that!?"

Ballad of Booth

Green Finch and Linnet Bird

...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...
