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.

1.."And I've had so many men before, in many ways..?."

2.."So easy to idolize all others above."

3.."Why can't I cast away the mask of play and ____ __ ____?"

4.."Isn't it bliss, don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around--___ ___ ___ ___'_ ____."

5.."She can bring him such misery, if she _____ ___ ___ _ ____." The co-stars?

6.."My head is saying, 'Fool, forget him.' My heart is saying, 'Don't let go'."

7.."But I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement hall."

8.."Ladies and gentlemen, Guten Abend! Bon Soir! Good Evening!"

9.."There's a time for everyone, if they only learn that the twisting kaleidoscope
____ __ ___ __ ____."

10.."The overpowering feeling that any second you ____ ________ ______."

11.."I remember everything you taught me,
Every book I ever read.
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?"

12.."I shall win! I will prevail! I shall conquer!" (liberal translation)

13..'How do you measure a year? In daylights? In sunsets? In midnights?
In cups of coffee?"

2. "You'd be so easy to love, So easy to idolize all others above, So worth the yearning for, So [something or other] to keep the home fire burning for." By Cole Porter. I don't know which show it comes from.
4. As Jim says, it's from the song "Send in the Clowns." From the show A Little Night Music by Stephen Sondheim.
10. "The overpowering feeling that any second you may suddenly appear." The song "The Street Where You Live" from My Fair Lady by Lerner and Loewe.

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.

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

3.. Dudley Moore belts out, "Why can't I fall in love like any other man, and maybe then I'll know ____ ____ __ ____ I am".

5..And there was a film with the same title, with Andy Garcia and..?.

9..From a huge hit, full length animation during 1994.

11..Song to dad, as this incomparable songtress boards a boat for the new world, 1983.

4..And, Knights, the iciest blue eyes I ever saw.

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.

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.

9..CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT, LION KING.

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.
