I REALLY love this idea! But I'd have to make mine a little different.... (only using the girls that were present on the tour)
Act I (gold dresses) 1. The Sky And The Dawn And The Sun - All 2. Newgrange - Eabha 3. The Butterfly - Mairead N 4. Orinoco Flow - Susan, Alex, Lynn (Alex on Mairead C's part and Lynn on her part) 5. Scarlett Ribbons - Mairead C 6. She Moved Through The Fair - Meav 7. Here To Stay - Susan 8. Over The Rinbow - Meav, Alex, Susan, Eabha (Meav on her part, Alex on Hayley/Lisa's, Susan on Chloe's, Eabha on Orla's) 9. After Hours 10. Teir Abhaile Riu - Susan, Lynn, Mairead C, Mairead N (all on their Tour parts)
Act II (again, the dark blue and black colors from the current tour) 1. At The Ceili - Alex, Eabha, Meav, and Mairead N (Alex taking Lisa's part, Eabha on Orla's, Meav on hers) 2. My Lagan Love - Lynn 3. I Dreamed A Dream/Circle Of Life - Alex, Susan, Mairead C (Alex taking over Lisa K's part, Susan on Chloe's, Mairead C on Lisa L's part) 4. The Last Rose Of Summer - Lynn and Meav (Lynn on Hayley's part, Meav on hers) 5. The Lost Rose Fantasia - Mairead N 6. Nella Fantasia - Mairead C (in her shimmering black dress) 7. My Heart Was Home Again - Alex 8. Somewhere - Meav, Mairead C, Alex, Eabha (Meav on her part, Mairead C on Lisa's, Alex on Chloe's, and Eabha on Orla's) 9. Caledonia - Susan 10.Ray's Bodhran Solo/Nil S'en La - Susan, Eabha, Mairead C, Mairead N (on their current Tour parts)
Act III (the gorgeous pastel colored dresses) 1. Mo Ghile Mear - Meav, Alex, Lynn, Susan, Mairead C, Mairead N (Meav on her opening lines, Alex on Orla's lines, Lynn on Hayley's, Susan on Lisa's, Mairead C on Chloe's) 2. The New Ground/Isle Of Hope, Isle Of Tears - Eabha 3. Cailín Alainn/Dúlaman - Meav 4. Danny Boy - Susan, Lynn, Mairead C, Mairead N (on their Tour parts) 5. Amazing Grace - Susan, Alex, Meav (Susan on her part, Alex on Chloe's, Meav on Lisa L's) 6. Scarborough Fair - Lynn 7. Walking The Night/The World Falls Away - Lynn, Alex, Susan, Mairead C (Lynn and Alex on their old parts, Susan on Lisa K's, and Mairead C on Chloe's) 8. Sí Do Mhaimeo Í - Meav, Eabha, Mairead N (Meav on Mairead C's part and Eabha on her part) 9. The Voice - Alex and Mairead N 10. Granuaile's Dance - Mairead N 11. You Raise Me Up - All (the SFTH version) 12. The Parting Glass - All 13. Ceili Playout
I know I added some songs and changed some stuff, but it's my dream concert so I'll do what I want! Each vocalist gets 2 solos whilst Mairead Nesbitt (the only founding member remaining) gets 3. Also, I know it's basically sacrilege to have any lineup but the original vocalists do Somewhere, but I REALLY love that song (it's my favorite a cappella number) and I personally would've preferred that one to Rainbow on the Anniversary Tour. Especially considering Meav, Lynn, and even Mairead C could've hit Meav's super high notes!
Also, Eabha seemed to get a little less love than the others, but that's mostly because I haven't really heard her harmonize with the girls well except for the snippets on YouTube. No disrespect intended Eabha!

Tiffany!!! I LOVE your idea of Goodnight My Angel (I tend to forget that song seeing as it's not at all one of my favorites) but I'd change the lineup... I never understood the SFTH lineup choices for that song. I always felt Alex should've had Lynn's part seeing as she and Lisa K were the 2 mothers of the group. Chloe I understood a bit because she even said herself that it was a song her mom sang to her and she suggested it to David. So! I'd put Meav on Lynn's old part, Alex on Lisa K's, and Mairead C on Chloe's. Then, on the part where they all sing together, have Alex and Meav come to either side of Mairead, and they'd end the song all holding hands.

Mattycakes, -As I agree with 100% everything you mentioned, I love Lynn for her voice, it's so heavenly in that song. Lynn being in that song is perfect because it show's any person can sing goodnight to a young one, it doesn't have to be theirs, it could be a niece, a nephew, cousin, pal.etc. The part "Someday a Child May Cry and If you sing this Lullaby" it's wishing someday for us like Lynn and Chloe. I would add Alex as full group song, Alex can take some addition parts from Lynn such as "And like a Bird out on the Ocean" Holding the hands part I would probably faint on tour with Meav and Alex with MC. !
