The Best Orchestrations For An Ideal Production?

Since we just discussed Red, Blue and Yellow orchestrations for Godspell, which ones would you choose for each particular song? (Note: Due to the film and Red orchestrations being identical for the most part, Beautiful City '73 is considered Red).
Brother Marvin Hinten, S.

My ideal vision would be this (I've discussed this one with you on AIM before, so no real surprises here):

ACT ONE
Opening (if used, the first track on the Yellow Album)
Prologue/Tower of Babble (doesn't matter which lyrics you use)
Prepare Ye (The Way of the Lord)
Save the People
Day by Day
Learn Your Lessons Well
Bless the Lord
All for the Best
All Good Gifts (Blue musical arrangements, Yellow vocal arrangements)
Light of the World

ACT TWO
Beautiful City ('73 lyrics, to fill space if you opt not to use the usual "Learn Your Lessons Well" reprise)
Turn Back, O Man
Alas for You
By My Side
We Beseech Thee
Beautiful City ('93 lyrics)
On the Willows
Finale
Day by Day (Reprise) (at this point, it doesn't matter, it's a curtain call you can use or not use, so yeah, why not red?)
