1. Kiss Me/Ladies In Their Sensitivies Quartet-- Sweeney Todd
2. Gun Song/Ballad of Czolgozs-- Assassins
3. Ballad of Sweeney Todd-- (Guess what show?) tied with "A Little Priest"
4. A Weekend In The Country-- A Little Night Music
5. Tonight-- West Side Story (That song is INCESSANTLY in my head)
Heavy on Sweeney Todd because I'm not too familiar with a lot of the more minor Sondheim musicals... and I love almost every single song from Sweeney Todd. I really need to see "Gypsy"-- I only know like five of the songs, and only the Ethel Merman versions.

DCR, not to nitpick, but I wouldn't count the Gypsy overture as a Sondheim song. I think that's more of a Jule Styne song.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.
