Other highlights included were Brent Barret singing Where I Want To Be from TIm Rice Lyrics and Benny Anderssons and Bjorn Ulvaeus music from Chess (1988). Christiane Noll singing Good Thing Going /Not A Day Goes By From Stephen Sondheims Merrily We Roll Along (1981). Lorna Luft sang Time Heals Everything form Jerry Hermans Mack and Mabel (1974). Tony Yazbeck and Jessica Lea Patty sang Youve Got Possibilities from Leigh Adams and Charles Strouses Its a Bird, Its A Plane, Its Superman (1966).
