OT: Special edition, test #445A, Put the song in context.

[wire chief]

Each tune is part of a larger production. We want completion of a line(where indicated),
title and said production.

As always do this without reprinting questions and without research.

[DriveLH]

7. Elton John in the movie, but Roger Daltry originally.

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

4 - I think RBNY is correct, from A Little Night Music, it is absolutely by Sondheim. I saw Judy Collins sing it in December - still performing at age 75, and still has the absolutely amazing voice.

 

[wire chief]

2..So far, so good, but we need the production--"Born __ _____".

[rbny1]

3. Your hint jogs my memory. "... and maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am." From the song, "What Kind of Fool Am I." I have no idea what show or movie the song is from.

 

[pinotbear]

3. Not "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" is it?
11. Barbra Streisand, Yentl?

 

[wire chief]

1..Among zorro, meyers & K9 we get all the parts.

2..Rbny helps out, and the show is BORN TO DANCE.

3..Ah, rbny, I just adore memory-jogging (since I can no longer do regular jogging...but I can do fast walking).
STOP THE WORLD, I WANT TO GET OFF.

4..Knights seconds rbny's motion. Seems indisputable that it's Sondheim. Jim, meyers & K9 were part-scorers.

5..Yes, K9...and I often listen to Percy doing it. Meg Ryan plays Andy's unbalanced wife(no, her famous -at-
the-restaurant is from a different movie).

6..See K9, who's hopelessly devoted to these tests, though she tries hard to fight it.

7..Jim's quartet fillS in all the vital data about TOMMY.

8..So old chums, Meyers is most complete about CABARET.

10..Rbny provides the relevant data to Freddy's infatuation.

11..Nobody interprets hints like pinot, PAPA, CAN YOU HEAR ME? from YENTL.

12..And can you hear the appropriateness of a poster named "sleep" identifying "No one must sleep"?

13..Like meyers writes, the song is SEASONS OF LOVE from the B'way show(still running) RENT.
