Name one song (from a show NOT on Broadway currently) that you would love to hear sung by one of your favorite performers.
For example I would love to hear...
"If I Could've Been" from WORKING sung by Lilias White!
She would put so much power and soul into it.
I know there are probably a million threads like this but I couldn't find any so please pardon me. Besides that, I want to know what others think. 
What would you like to hear?

Sutton Foster sining "People" from FUNNY GIRL.
I really loved her in the ENCORES! production when she did "I'm The Greatest Star". Throw "The Music That Makes Me Dance" in there as well.

I was thinking about this the other day while listening to Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, I would love to see Sherie perform Defying Gravity. I just think her voice really soars, probably the best I have ever seen.
Also, I would love to see Lisa Howard (Spelling Bee) as Mary Poppins. I have thought from the beginning she was perfect for it.

I want to hear Carolee Carmello sing "Rainbow High" from Evita.
And I have always wanted to hear Sutton Foster sing "Come to your Senses" from Tick Tick Boom.

I would love to hear Bernadette Peters tackle both "Be On Your Own" and "A Call From the Vatican" from NINE. She would be in tears for the first song and vamping it up in the second. Both numbers would showcase her strong suits.

I'd love to hear Audra sing "I Loved You Once In Silence" or "Before I Gaze At You Again" from Camelot. And I'd love to hear/see Beth Leavel do "Little Girls"
Cheers,
Christopher

Audra McDonald singing "That's Enough For Me" from William Finn's Romance in Hard Times.
Mary Testa singing "How Lucky Can You Get?" (I know it's not from a stage musical - but it should be)
Lillias White singing "Set Those Sails" from In Trousers. And also I'd like to hear her sing "Maybe" from Annie.
George Hearn singing "Meadowlark". (Hehe, just kidding on that one.)

Posted: 8/15/06 at 6:59pmahh Mother's Younger Brother!! Steven Pasquale would sound great with "One Song Glory" well...he'd sound great singing everything and it wouldn't be a screamfest either. I would like to hear him sing pretty much anything

I heard a performer on Seth's Chatterbox talking about Steven Pasquale and she was saying how he breathes really heavily when singing. Like "*Gasp* By your side I could be bravvvvvee!"
But he has got such a yummy yummy voice, I would forgive him breathing funny.

LOL...I saw Steven as Chris in Miss Saigon and I have to say I never noticed that.
On topic, I'd love to see Sutton Foster's "Over the Moon." I highly doubt she'd EVER play Maureen unless it were some special event, but I think it'd be hysterical.
