I’m working on another one of Dan Katz’s Mini Hunts (see my [earlier thread)](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=512117) and I’m stuck on one of the puzzles. I’m turning to the ears of the SDMB for help.

The puzzle is [here](http://www.math.brown.edu/~thedan/puzzles/wrathofstopheles/piranhas.htm). Don’t worry about the preamble text, just click on the ‘WIMP Audio Stream (MP3)’ link (warning: 64 seconds of musical cacophony ensues).

Try to identify the songs from stage musicals and place them on the correct row of the grid. The shaded cells on each row of the grid indicate where the songs begin and end. When all 15 are in place, I believe that the initial letters of the songs will spell out the puzzle solution.

This is what I have so far:[SPOILER]1- Tonight (West Side Story)  
2- Oh Wouldn’t It Be Lovely (My Fair Lady)  
3- Pinball Wizard (Tommy)  
4- ???  
5- ???  
6- ???  
7- Memory (Cats)  
8- ???  
9- ???  
10- Everybody’s Got The Right (Assassins) (not sure if this is in the right place)  
11- ???  
12- ???  
13- All That Jazz (Chicago)  
14- If I Were A Rich Man (Fiddler on the Roof)  
15- Two Ladies (Cabaret)

I possibly have the last two in the wrong order.[/SPOILER]

Suddenly Seymour from Little Shop Of Horrors is definitely in there probably around 8 or 9…
