Tchaikovsky's Capriccio Italien is woefully underused. My vague recollection is Menzies & Bombardier using it in a long program way back. (I'm old.) Bruch's Violin Concerto too.

Anyone up on the new musicals that have come up in the past few years? Anything suitable for this year's Rhythm Dance from the newer Pretty Woman, The Prom, Be More Chill, Dear Evan Hansen, Mean Girls, The Band's Visit, Waitress, Anastasia ;) , Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Kinky Boots...

Or the Disney songbook in multiple languages though kudos to them for releasing movies in multiple languages. Is someone going to do the Finnstep to Hakuna Matata (did the Zulu dubbed version include the songs?), Under the Sea, or Thank You from Moana in Tahitian? ====== ice-dance.com has a...
