Your favourite song from a musical?

[Sausagefingers9]

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

Can't believe no one's mentioned 'Tell me it's not True' from Blood Brothers!

Saw Wicked for the 1st time last week. Not bowled over. Found music very 'samey'.

Another vote for All of Jesus Christ Superstar. Love it!

Jail House Tango -Chicago

Anything from six, and anything from the five pennies!!!

Carousel if I loved you

So many!

Maria - West Side Story

School song - Matilda

Phantom, and All I Ask of you - Phantom of the Opera

One day more, and Master of the House - Les Mis

Everything’s alright - Jesus Christ Superstar

Desperate to see Hamilton!

Electricity from Billy Elliot

I really don't like musicals, but I love:

'Who Will Buy' from Oliver

and the school song from Goodbye Mr Chips with Peter O Toole and Petula Clarke (not a musical you hear much about !)

Tell me it's not true - Blood Brothers. Makes me cry every time.

Stars from Les Mis especially Roger Allam’s version

‘Washington on your side’ and ‘what’d I miss’ from Hamilton. I can’t listen to ‘it’s quiet uptown’ without crying so don’t tend to play it in the car
‘Heaven on their minds’ from Jesus Christ superstar
‘Hello’ from Book of Mormon
‘Ease on down the road’ the wiz
‘Seasons of love’ from Rent
‘Nothing’ from A Chorus Line
‘Day by day’ from Godspell
‘When I grow up’ from Matilda
So many SO MANY SONGS!

I also love Easy Terms from Blood Brothers

Last night of the world from miss Saigon, music of the night from phantom, but then I also live the old time broadway musicals, lullaby on broadway for instance ...

She used to be mine from waitress also still hurting from the last five years, anything from wicked is amazing and same for rent.

I forgot bui doi from miss Saigon, but rather than playing the audio, watch on you tube, tissues at the ready - the pictures are real footage. Off to watch it, love it however sad

I would want:
"Wouldn't It Be Loverly" and "With a Little Bit of Luck" from My Fair Lady
"When You Taught Me How to Dance" from Mrs. Potter, a musical about Beatrix Potter.

I don’t think Love Never Dies should have been made and if it should, the concept should have been totally different but if you take it at face value, Beneath a Moonless Sky is a beautifully haunting tale of a lost love

Angry inch. From Hedwig and the angry inch.

Some new ones to me to find out about.

I like the clever lyrics...

Rainbow high from evita
I've never been in love before and Lady Luck from Guys and Dolls
The Boyfriend from The Boyfriend
Blow Gabriel Blow and Anything Goes from Anything Goes
Brush up your Shakespeare from Kiss me Kate
Show me and just you wait from My Fair Lady

Oh!!

I'm not getting married from Company
Being Alive from Company
No-one is alone from into the woods

I mean, all of Hamilton, but "It's Quiet Uptown" makes me want to cry forever.
Also, "The World Was Wide Enough" And "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story" is just the perfect ending.

Special mention to "First Burn" from the Hamildrops.

from Chicago is pretty dramatic!

All I ask of you - phantom. Had it at my wedding

The Timewarp - Rocky Horror Picture Show

Soliloquy from Carousel
So in Love from Kiss Me Kate
Defying Gravity/No Good Deed/For Good from Wicked
Some Enchanted Evening from South Pacific
Pretty much all of The Sound of Music
Protocoligorically Correct/He Danced With Me from The Slipper and the Rose
At The Ballet/One from A Chorus Line
Wilkommen/Maybe This Time from Caberet

I have a long list!

As Long As He Needs Me- Oliver!
When the Children Are Asleep- Carousel
On My Own- Les Mis
Feed the Birds- Mary Poppins
Maybe This Time- Cabaret
With You- Ghost
Never Enough- The Greatest Showman

A PP mentioned What Part Of My Body Hurts The Most from Bat Out Of Hell. I saw it recently and the performance of that song really stood out.

My thing appears to be emotional ballads.
