No songs listed in the Soundtracks. Because I typed all these in by scratch, it took more than 30 extra minutes to watch this. I won't add them to IMDb today.

Some of the performances in all 3 shows were from past years; perhaps these were the ones lip synced? That's the case here for Damn Yankees.

Great to have these performances; wish they'd compile more of these shows.
