You started without me!! D:

No "Cellaphone Man" for Hyo?
Also, Sondheim's "Lovely" for...Jessica? (As a nod to her recent ditzy turn), Tiffany could do it too.

Will coment properly after Monday, but nodded very hard at most, if not, all of the choices, and cracked up at the JYP song choice!

I thought Rose's Turn covered that better than Cellophane Man, and Rose's Turn is more explosive, a true showstopper. How appropriate!

I'm not completely familiar with Sondheim's catalogue. Also, I was trying to limit the number of songs I allocated each member. But re-listening to Lovely, I have to agree! It could replace "Diamonds...". I think I'll give it to either Gyuri or Hara, though.(With Seungyeon as the shafted second woman)

Hmm, I'd vote for Cellaphone Man because it's more true to life for Hyo, so far =x Sad, but true.

It depends on whether we're playing with more real-life personality traits or on-stage personas that the girls have--e.g. giving Sunny aegyo songs or "I am lovely but tough" songs.

LOL at Seungyeon as the shafted second woman--so so apt! Gyuri is too flinty for "Lovely", you know, and Hara doesn't play the ditz. She's more like the lovely second lead who gets the good life/man she deserves because she tries hard and is nice. I'd give it to UEE, if she could sing. I KNOW! SECRET'S SUNHWA! "Lovely" fits her on-screen persona perfectly now.

I am going to pimp Seobaby for the Rodgers and Hammerstein's version of Cinderella. Note to self.

Oh mygod, I can't watch the ones I'm not familiar with yet, but I'm simply dying just looking at this list XD YOU ARE AMAZING OKAY?!

More coherent comment later when I'm at home~~~

If there are any numbers that you absolutely HAVE to watch/hear, I'd say

Don't Rain on My Parade
Rose's Turn
Bosom Buddies
Some People
In Between
Gotta Get a Gimmick****
One
All the Things You Are****

I was on a quick break, re-looked the song choices, and realised that a performance with both Let Me Entertain You and Just In Time in the same line-up would blow my brain. I used to loop those songs (and sing them too), but most of my friends who claim they like big bloated productions with varying music quality musicals don't know them. I just wanted to say, <3.

Didja save the IRC musical crack??

It disappeared while I was semi-crusading. :(

If your post hadn't been full of <3, I would pout very very hard at you now.
