Let's do this in order:
You Okay Honey? -- Remember when Angel finds Collins in the alley and says, "Ooh, you okay, honey?" That came from this (very short) song, which has an interesting beat under it and little else going for it, hence the cutting it from the film (it is a song that could easily be done as dialogue).
Christmas Bells -- One of the major closers of Act 1, a scene where everyone eventually winds up singing in counterpoint (meaning they all sing at once), including the cops Mark chased away from that homeless lady with his camera on the way to the riot, Roger, Mimi, and Mark first meeting (and Roger takes Mimi away from the drug dealer guy, except they sing it), Angel gets Collins his coat back from a street vendor (which turned into a very short moment with a new coat during "I'll Cover You" in the movie), and probably much more that I'm forgetting. The main reason it was cut during the writing process was that Chris Columbus felt the counterpoint would be too confusing.
Glad to be of service.
