Heh. Somebody brought up a good point- we're looking at this from the singers' point of view. Which songs are really tough on musicians?

You think ITW is hard?! Try doing it in a WEEK!!!! I did it. This summer with the College Light Opera Company. It was insanity. Opening night was frightening, but after that we really pulled it off!

I agree. My high school cast of Sweeney Todd never once got City on Fire right, or Pirelli's Miracle Elixer.

Putting it Together - Sunday in the Pari With George
Getting Married Today - Company
Herbue Fitch's Twitch - Redhead
Pity the Child - Chess
I Can Cook Too - On the Town (the lead-in is really tough and try singing "a brook trout right out of the brook")
Glitter and Be Gay - Candide
The Ballad of Sweeney Todd and God That's Good - Sweeney Todd (the chorus parts in Sweeney Todd are infinitely more difficult than any of the leads)
Theme from City of Angels - City of Angels
Gethsemane - Jesus Christ Superstar
A Little Bit of Good - Chicago (squeeze 'em tight, guys)
We Beseech Thee - Godspell (not too bad on its own, but if you're playing the character as written, it's a night of almost entirely high G's before you get to this song as well as playing recorder, then singing more high G's while dancing and the final high D in the stratosphere at the end)
