Better "A Class Act" (Check this one out if you haven't heard it, you'll see why Ed Kleban's contribution is what made the " Chorus Line" score work.)

Nowadays "Chicago"

Something Wonderful "The King and I"

Til We Reach That Day "Ragtime"

I'd Give My Life For You "Miss Saigon"
"I have got to have some professional music!" - Big Edie

2. Soliloquy (Carousel)
3. When You're Good to Mama (Chicago)
