3 - is really familiear but I can't identify it
4 - Beauty and the Beast!
6 - that sounds excessively Dumbledore. Is it re: Mirror of Erised?
7 - "Green Finch and Linnet Bird" from Sweeny Todd

This is excessively fun, although it took me a long time to figure out what shrill female I had in my head singing #7... thought it was Anya from Buffy for a bit before I narrowed it down. Huh.

6 is Mr. Spock, in Amok Time, when T'Pring explains her cunning plan to ensure the company of her lover, Stonn.

I adore Sweeney beyond measure, and while I'm not particularly fond of that song, I think the rhyme is one of his best. Otherwise I would have chosen a line from "A Little Priest."

Right, so I mean "one of Sondheim's best."

But then, you're not the one who misspelled Sweeney Todd...

Oh, it totally is Spock. I love that episode.

I love Sweeney more though. Oh Sweeney.

"Then actor/That's compacter."
"Yes, and always arrives overdone."

I once caught this satellite radio station that plays only Broadway tunes. I heard a live version of Angela Lansbury and some guy singing "A Little Priest." At the end, the audience cheered like it was the freakin' Beatles.

Your icon brings back memories; man, that was television. I guess the closest we've got to Neil Burnside today is House, and he hasn't arranged to have his only love shot while crossing the border.

...and he hasn't arranged to have his only love shot while crossing the border.

Well, give him time!

Always nice to find another Sandbaggers fan. For some reason, this very low-budget show featuring a nasty lead character hasn't got a wide fandom. Can't imagine why.

iTunes has two all-Broadway radio stations, though one requires a premium subscription. We've already caught a bunch of Sondheim that way.
