I’m making a musical playlist, what shall I put on it?
I love a good musical song, they are so dramatic. Any recommendations?

'Touch Me' from Spring Awakening and 'I Dreamed A Dream' from Les Misérables

'Seasons of Love' and 'La vie boheme' from Rent. Basically anything from rent Wink

Also 'Me and the sky' from 'Come from away'

And 'I'm here' from The Colour Purple, Cynthia Erivo is truly breathtaking

Most of the soundtracks from West Side Story, Les Mis and Miss Saigon.

I song I currently love though and can't stop listening to is 'I'm Here' from The Colour Purple, especially sung by Cynthia Erivo.

Sausagefingers9 · 14/12/2018 11:34

Great, quite a few I hadn’t heard of here.

Nothing beats a musical song imo. They are mini stories within a song, proper dramatic music etc. I love them

Mungojerry and Rumpleteeser from Cats.

Imo this is the only musical worth watching. But I've been obsessed with it since I was 3 🙈

Stephisaur · 14/12/2018 11:38

Masquerade from Phantom.

It’s one of my favourite songs and definitely my favourite from the show.
