Does anyone who was in attendance have a set list? Would very much appreciate!!

There was no set list in the program and, as of now, nothing has been posted to the Carnegie Hall website. But this is what I could piece together by taking little notes during the concert. Thank God it wasn't all The Frogs and Pacific Overtures or I would have been lost. This was a genius program performed wonderfully. There are so many more Sondheim songs I want to see Tituss interpret now. Do I Hear a Waltz? Passion? A Little Night Music? I would happily return for a whole concert series. 

Orchestral Medley (including Company, A Little Night Music, etc.)

Comedy Tonight - A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum - Ensemble

I'm Calm - A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum - Tituss

Something's Coming/Tonight - West Side Story - Tituss

Somewhere - West Side Story - Tituss

Loveland - Follies - Ensemble

Sunday in the Park With George - Sunday in the Park With George - Tituss

Let Me Entertain You - Gypsy - Tituss

Sooner or Later - Dick Tracy - Jane (I felt very clever for predicting this before the concert.)

Everything's Coming Up Roses - Gypsy - Lillias

Everybody Says Don't - Anyone Can Whistle - Orfeh

You Gotta Get A Gimmick - Gypsy - Lillias (Mazeppa), Jane (Elektra), Orfeh (Tessie Tura)

Anyone Can Whistle - Anyone Can Whistle - Tituss

Orchestral - I couldn't identify it. 

Company - Company - Tituss/Ensemble 

Not Getting Married Today - Company - Tituss/Ensemble Soloists (The soloists were fantastic.)

Prologue- Into the Woods - Ensemble (I think it was the "So Happy" prologue because that makes sense but I don't remember.)

If You Can Find Me, I'm Here - Evening Primrose (I had to look this one up. I've heard of Evening Primrose but I've never listened to it. If anyone knows of a good recording I'd appreciate it. It sounds like Mannequin + After Hours-Twilight Zone so I'm sure I'll love it.)

Now You Know - Merrily We Roll Along - Ensemble (Shame that one of the soloists mics was having issues.)

No More- Into the Woods - Tituss/Michael (Completely unexpected and gorgeous moment.)

Take Me to the World - Evening Primrose - Tituss

The following songs were the equivalent of the big MegaMix finale. 

With So Little to Be Sure Of - Anyone Can Whistle - Tituss (I'd love to have a recording of the whole show but this was a standout because of the arrangement.)

short segment - I think this was just Sunday in the Park With George - Sunday in the Park With George again.

Unworthy of Your Love - Assassins - Ensemble

You can see the original broadcast of Evening Primrose on YouTube. Nonesuch released a recording of songs from The Frogs and Evening Primrose. I have had it for a for a number of years. Neil Patrick Harris sings Charles.

Kritzerland has released the full soundtrack to the television special featuring Anthony Perkins & Charmian Carr. It has a few orchestral suites in it as well as the four songs.
