Shame on Musto for leaving out "Who's That Woman?"!

SHAME! SHAME!

PS: I didn't include "Who's That Woman?" only because the character Stella Deems doesn't totally sing it alone. She's joined by a chorus of women.

I guess his inclusion of "Broadway Baby" is specific to this production only then.

All great songs. Which would be my favorite showstopper would depend on the rendition. But "Losing My Mind" is one of my favorite songs from any musical. And proof, among many others, that the oft-heard cry that Sondheim is cold, dispassionate and disaffected is the biggest misconception in theater history. He's among the most emotionally unabashed composer/lyricists of all time.
