another CHESS posting....song list from the benefit concert

I know I already posted on my confusion about the show because I didn't know until I read the responses on here that there is no official version of the show.
after listening to both the london and the US version, i realized that the version that was performed at the actors fund benefit is pretty different than either of them.
so....if anyone was wondering, here is the song list. I also included the characters that sang them because i know there is at least one song (Someone Else's Stoty) that is sung by a different character in the two recordings. also, one of the songs ("The Arbiter") isn't on either of the recordings. personally, i really liked the version they did at the benefit, i've really like to hear what you all think about it:

That looks like the New version that is available.

also, one of the songs ("The Arbiter") isn't on either of the recordings.

I can't speak for all the recordings, but this song is on the London Concept recording. It's called "Opening Ceremony".
