^^^^I chose her speech where she says, "I Never Believed in Love Before". The song was quite successful, at least for a workshop. It even got a little play in LA-area cabarets (though that wasn't the objective).

I reasoned that by the time Frankie gets to "The We of Me", her impending disappointment is too palpable to be "charming."
