According to JRB, "Letting You Go" inspired him to write L5Y, but it wasn't in the show.
All the other ones I knew have been said except this one:
"Burn Her" from Spamalot

Come Down From the Tree
When Daniel Marries
(Both from Once on this Island)
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Posted: 2/10/05 at 4:44pmThere is a song "Then We are Decided" that the priests have in the beginning of JCS. I have seen it in one production, but I do not believe that it is on any of the albums (brown) or recent CDs.

I love Marking Time from Pippin and Where Do I Go From Here from Fiorello!
Oooh also, all of the random bits of Merrily that have been cut and added over the years...
I wonder where one can hear "Yuck" from Grease?
[title of show] on Broadway. it's time. believe.

Yes they were. There Won't Be Trumpets is on the OBC, but was cut because Laurents felt Fay's monologue was enough, and putting the song there was overkill. I love it, though.
From This Moment On was cut I believe, but added for the Kiss Me, Kate revival.

Posted: 2/10/05 at 7:36pm"From This Moment On" is from OUT OF THIS WORLD. If that is true, I apologize. I remember "There Won't Be Trumpets" in the production that they did ten years ago at Carnegie Hall with Bernadette Peters.

"I saw him once" from Les Miserables
It was Cosette's and it was a solo. But it basically had the same idea as "In My Life." Its on the origianl London Cast Recording, and is melded right before "In My Life". Beautiful song.

Posted: 2/10/05 at 7:53pmA lot of additional lyrics were cut from "No One Has Ever Loved Me" during the preview period of PASSION. They are very good lyrics. A very rough recording of Jere Shea singing them is available as an extra on the DVD.

Posted: 2/10/05 at 8:14pmMy Fair Lady~ What is that song about, the one from Little Women? I don't remember ever hearing it. Was it just in the preliminary workshops?

I've seen the Rent Workshop CD available on ebay. I think my favorite track of it is the one with Mark and Roger: "He says he'll see us at the restaurant..." I like Right Brain, it's about equal to One Song Glory in my mind. I love Mark and Maureen pieces. The Female-to-Female tracks are cute. The only thing about the songs are the rhymes are a bit under-developed.

Posted: 2/10/05 at 9:15pmThe "Lost in Boston" CDs are a great way to hear cut material. Also, a lot of cut songs are now featured as extras on OBC albums and composer compilations.

uvegotcooties - Where did you hear the Raggedy Ann song? That';s one show I wish I could find pics of--it sounds wonderfully weird and kinda disturbing...
A bunch of the early Sondheim/Prince dropped sonsg are fabulous--I prefer Uptown/Downtown, cut in Boston, to its replacement in Follies, Lucy and Jessie. Thank god it's recorded with its original orchestrations on the Papermill album.
Also love Happily Ever After--the most honest way to end Company--cut in Boston-_i wish we had it recorded with its original orchestrations somewhere...
From Night Music we have on that 1973 "Scrabble" Sondheim concert the original performer and orchestrations for the cut out of town Silly People--gorgeous art song.
The later Sondheim show cut songs are harder to evaluate as often they were more song fragments, etc, as fit the later shows (Boom Crunch in ITW which predated the more lyrical Last Midnight, Soldiers and Girls from Sunday which is still there in a VERY VERY short version etc).
There';s a cute song on one of the Lost in Boston's from Promises Promises.
I'm nto a big fan of Fiorello's score (I know, I know) but the cut song from it mentioned is GORGEOUS

Posted: 2/10/05 at 10:53pmi would just like to reiterate anytime from a new brain. that song absolutely kills me every time. there are still the piano riffs for it near the end of the show in the orchestrations, but still. the only thing i always wondered was whether it was meant for mimi or roger? because i can imagine both singing it. i love norm lewis' recording of that song.

I think the song "Then We Are Decided" from JCS appears in the movie sung by Caiphas(sp?) and Annas. "The Glamourous Life" from A Little Night Music was a song written for Fredrika. And "The Story of My Life" was written for Ruth in Wonderful Town where "Hundread Easy Ways..." ended up.
