I loved "Our Little World." It was added to Into The Woods for the London production. They kept it for the revival. I find it to be a great addition to the score. It is so short though. I can't stand how short it is.

'Johanna' from Sweeney Todd. I always wish that song were longer. Especially when Anthony Warlow sang it on his album.

i forgot about johanna- though i'm happy with the length since i'm auditioning for that part in sweeney todd and with my inherant nerves its just short enough for me to not forget and of the lines of a really excellent song

I'd love to hear more of "I Can't Do It Alone" from the Original Cast Recording of Chicago with Chita Rivera. Not that the song isn't long enough, BUT it is cut short on the CR. It's not bad cut short, I just want MORE CHITA!

one song that always seems too short is "Sarah Brown Eyes" from Ragtime. it's so pretty, it definitely needs another verse or two. in the Finn category, I'd like to see longer versions of "Heart and Music" from New Brain and "What More Can I Say" from Falsettoland.

Well after a few of the "First I'd, Then We'd etc etc . . .", it cuts to the end with "And then those two bit..". So it skips a bunch in the middle.

Not necessarily short songs - but I would love it if they had included the Conga part of "Keep it Gay" (I know they recorded it - I have the Making of DVD) and the dance/slap sequence of "Der Guten Tag Hop-Clop." Plus all the little reprises that pop up along the way - I love them all!

jonartdesigns: good luck on your audition! Just imagine... if you get it, you get to sing one of the most beautiful songs ever written . And also don't forget "kiss me" since we all know that's such a fun song to do...

i believe the song is called distant melody or just lullaby. peter sings it in the mary martin version but in cathy rigby and the version i did, wendy sings it and harmonizes w/peters. its quite pretty. and a nice feature for wendy since peters sings every other song in the show!!

THE COW SONG:
I guess this is goodbye old pal
You've been a perfect friend
I hate to see us part old pal
Someday I'll buy you back

I'll see you soon again
I hope that when I do
It won't be on a plate

I love the original Jack. I hated Adam Wylie.

Let me just say that AVENUE Q and ASSASSINS are both just, on the whole, WAY TOO SHORT and need to be expanded. Either that, or put in a box and sold so that I can take them home with me.

It's short...and sweet...and quite honestly, perfect. Which is why it should not be one note longer...but anyway:

Right now it's "I Saw Three Ships" from COC When Anika Nani Rose sings "Mama there's money, down in the laundry". I love the strings. I loved it onstage and love it on CD.
