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

"You and Me (But Mostly ME)" from Book of Mormon

And if you want to play a game of spot the pastiche there is a fantastic song called "Its A Musical" from Something Rotten

LBOCS2 · 14/12/2018 12:19

Literally the whole of the Hamilton soundtrack.

But if I had to choose one I'd say 'Satisfied'.

AlexanderHamilton · 14/12/2018 12:20

Yes, Satisfied is a good choice.

starray · 14/12/2018 12:23

"This Is One of Those Moments@ from Yentl, all the songs from Camelot.

CharDeeMacDennis · 14/12/2018 12:30

The Impossible Dream from Man of La Mancha. Actually like quite a few from that.

Maria from West Side Story

So many great musicals, it's hard not to say 'alllll of them!'

Seasons of Love - Rent
Wait For It - Hamilton (the whole musical really, but this is my stand out fave. And Dear Theodosia, and One Last Time, and Hurricane. I might have a slight obsession...)
Anybody Have A Map? - Dear Evan Hansen (also So Big / So Small)
Stars - Les Misérables
From Now On - The Greatest Showman
Electricity - Billy Elliot
Stronger - Finding Neverland
There's a Fine, Fine Line - Avenue Q
Nothing Is Ever Anyone's Fault - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (technically a tv show, not a musical, but there's so much singing!)
For Good - Wicked (this, and No Good Deed)
My House - Matilda (and When I Grow Up)

Now to spend the rest of the day making a Musicals playlist on Spotify!

Bunnyhop1502 · 14/12/2018 13:05

i love the Museum song from Barnum!

My mum would play it in the car and when were children and when we could do it the whole way through with no mistakes, we got a magazine! It was a fun little challenge which my DD (5) is now taking on!

dogmum0 · 14/12/2018 14:09

Anything from The Book of Mormon (if you're not easily offended)
