The first was the Dorothy Lee number, "The Kinkajou" and the second was the dance number on the pirate ship to the tune of Sweetheart, We Need Each Other. I posted short clips of them to YouTube. I guess you will have to copy and paste if you would like to see them<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZQrJEEGW6w<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHSwp4pEZGIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9980139.post-57249868203340064342006-12-18T09:42:00.000-05:002006-12-18T09:42:00.000-05:00Hard to say, for if the first and second show-time...Hard to say, for if the first and second show-times are accurate, then the third show of the day should have been listed as starting at 5:45PM and not 6:45.
