Editor's Notes: The Artful Dodger is from Oliver!, not the Disney animated film, Oliver and Company. Fiddler on the Roof delays the Overture until after the opening number (Alex, please take note). The song from The Sound of Music is called "Something Good." Relient K sang "Must Have Done Something Right."
