TOD
Decided to chose one song from some of his "less popular" shows.

One of my favorite scores of his On the Twentieth Century and was always surprised it didn't run more than one season.
If I had to chose one song from that score it would have to be the Our Private World. Sally Mayes sings a solo version on her Our Private World that BK produced.

Another show is Barnum, but the success of the show I guess will have to depend on who is playing Barnum. I've seen Jim Dale and Michael Crawford (Two Brits playing an Yank) . The Museum Song and Thank God I'm Old

Two interesting shows that never went anywhere. Home Again, Home Again and 13 Weeks Days To Broadway which was about the closing of the former show. That said "You There In Back Row" sung by Liz Callaway on her album

Welcome To The Club despite being reworked and reworked the show never worked, but  At My Side is a good song (Mike Rupert and Sally Mayes sang it one Unsung Musicals)

I Love My Wife: Hey There Good Times

City of Angeles: With Every Breath I Take (Always thought that this would have a more popular "after life"

The Life: His last complete new show to make it to Broadway. There is only two songs I liked but I would chose: My Friend

Hated the Will Rogers Follies and there is nothing from that show I would recommend.

I loved the Will Rogers Follies.

I went to see it with my parents. We were not sitting together. I wanted to leave at the interval. They didn't like it either. They wanted to leave at the interval as well. We all thought the each other like the show so we stayed.

It would have been the second musical I would have walked out

There are many I have endured and would have liked to walk out of,  Michael S. But at those prices, I stick around, ever hopeful that it will get better in the second half.

TOD: Anything by Cy Coleman is aces with me. Just an incredible composer.

I agree with Elmore on the beauty of the entire score to "On the Twentieth Century." I remember seeing the Tony spot where Judy Kaye's voice just rose above the chorus in that exciting way of hers and ran out to get the album as soon as it was available.

Here's the clip:

I saw her on tour in it with Imogene Coca and, for some reason, Frank Gorshin. She was great. Nobody came. There were probably 200 people in a 1,500-seat Schenectady theater on opening night.

I love, love, love Cy's reworked "Sweet Charity" for the film version.  In fact when those wordless vocals started singing it in the Overture, I think that was the first time I had really noticed multi-channel sound, as they entered from all over the place.  Really magical and something I'll never forget.

One of those movies that I'd rather listen to the score than watch. ("Finian's Rainbow" and "Hello, Dolly!" are two others that come to mind.)
