I don't think the cut songs fit into the show as it is now.
"Mamma's Talkin' Soft" is nice, but "Small World" is perfect as it is... and I think the injection of that song into its structure would be unnecessary.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

I would love to see a production of the show with Momma's Talkin' Soft. I think it is such a beautiful glimpse into the relationship between June and Louise, and really fleshes out the story between the two of them.
But, on the contrary, I've always thought that Small World was one of the most charming points in the show. But I'd love to see someone play around with the idea of having Momma's Talkin' Soft in there.
Theatre is a safe place to do the unsafe things that need to be done.
