Sound of Music: Maybe "Climb Every Mountain"? There are only a handful of songs in the score I feel passionately about, and they're all songs I really like. Everything else is sort of there.


This is one of the few songs in the show I can tolerate! Mind explaining your choice a bit more?

LOL, honestly, I don't know, the show just gives a relatively minor character an almost painfully long song and at the end of the song, it virtually has said nothing, and what it has said, it basically could have said much shorter (and much lower in the voice range, oy, sometimes it hurts to listen to). It's not a bad song, of course, but it's far from a high point in R&H's partnership, that's for sure, LOL.

Anyway:
Anything Goes

Lets Step Out
(it wasnt nessesary to add this song to the 1962 version..its not very "porteresque" and does nothing but stop the show dead)

GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH. We're doing the 1962 version right now and I'm not gonna lie, I kind of hate it. "Let's Step Out" is, like, easily the dead spot in the show too. And the girl who's playing Bonnie is trying so hard for it not to be! :(

Back to the game,
