Why Did Lupone Cut the Can-Can Songs from Her Album?

Maybe they didn't fit well with the rest of the songs? Most singers record more than they are able to use on any given recording anyway - I mean, I doubt that the Cole Porter estate vetoed them or something dramatic like that.

Unless Arthur Laurents is executing the estate of course...

Well it depends on how...slow...Patti...sings...those...torch...songs..

She could go over the limit with 8 songs if she sings them like Streisand's last Broadway record.

If she sings them as slowly as she sang them at Carnegie Hall last year, it'll be a two disc set. I wanted so much to like that concert...maybe it just wasn't the right venue for it...especially from the cheap seats. Any thoughts?

Didn't she already do some Can-Can songs on Heat Wave? Perhaps that's why?

Maybe its because those songs are not torch songs, per se. Though a ballad, I Love Paris is a love song to Paris. C'est Magnifique comes the closest, but didn't fit with the rest of the CD. AND..this is a 2-act show condensed to 1 CD.
I agree it would've been nice to hear her on those songs again, but we shall survive.
Perhaps we can look forward to an all Sondheim Cd reprising the roles she's done in concert over the past few years. If you want to campaign for something, campaign for THAT!
