This is in no particular order.

1. A MIllers Son- A Little Night Music
2. Move On- Sunday In The Park With George
3. If Momma Was Married- Gypsy
4. Children and Art- Sunday In The Park With George
5. We Do Not Belong Together- Sunday In The Park With George
6. Overture- Gypsy
7. Some People- Gypsy
8. Sunday In The Park With George- Sunday In The Park With George

1. Kiss Me/Ladies In Their Sensitivies Quartet-- Sweeney Todd
2. Gun Song/Ballad of Czolgozs-- Assassins
3. Ballad of Sweeney Todd-- (Guess what show?) tied with "A Little Priest"
4. A Weekend In The Country-- A Little Night Music
5. Tonight-- West Side Story (That song is INCESSANTLY in my head)

Heavy on Sweeney Todd because I'm not too familiar with a lot of the more minor Sondheim musicals... and I love almost every single song from Sweeney Todd. I really need to see "Gypsy"-- I only know like five of the songs, and only the Ethel Merman versions.

DCR, not to nitpick, but I wouldn't count the Gypsy overture as a Sondheim song. I think that's more of a Jule Styne song.
