My problem with the selections

I felt that there were too many duplications of song types programmed back to back. For example the quasi-operatic ballad "Love Look Away" followed by "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" one right after the other. In the first half there were big leading man baritone showstoppers programmed back to back.

Frankly, given the time period you can't include everything and please everyone: there is just too much great material to choose from.

They could have used Marissa McGowan as Ado Annie in "I Cain't Say No" or moved one of the back to back baritones over to "Oh What A Beautiful Mornin'" and then moved a charm song or ingenue number in that slot.
