It seems that no one has yet mentioned one of my favorite ballet pieces - the dance section of "Marian The Librarian." Unfortunately, I don't believe the music is included complete on any commercial recording, though the adaptation used in the film is close, as I recall.
The picnic ballet that goes with "Once A Year Day" in Pajama Game is also a lot of fun.
And, the dream ballet that goes with "Leaning On A Lamppost" in Me And My Girl. Terrific arrangement.
I'd also include the "Abduction" ballet from Man Of La Mancha (though it does include a bit of singing, with its ironic reprise of "Little Bird"). Really cool writing! |
