So I was sitting in my room just a little bit ago..listening to music on WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER, and alligned all of my songs up by track length (i have no clue why), and I thought how interesting it was to see what the shortest Broadway song and Longest Broadway song I had were..Now you may probably have other tracks to other albums not pertaining to Broadway, but just skim through and find the longest/shortest Broadway songs you have. Don't forget to say the song, show, and time!


Mine were:

Shortest- "Percy Hyman" (The Drowsy Chaperone) 20 seconds

Longest-"Now/Later/Soon" (A Little Night Music) 10 min 37 secs.


P.S. I'm stretching for anything to take some of the tension of "that" subject!

Although this isn't a contest... (I think I am "winning" )

Shortest: (First is London, second is Broadway)

This was fun... Good to get the fact that I won't be going to see Jersey Boys tomorrow night (bought specifically to see JLY before he leaves) because of "it."

Shortest: "Ladies, Our Carriage Waits" from the London "Into the Woods" recording. They split the prologue up into several tracks for some reason. Just 24 seconds.
