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?

All the songs from Tommy

Black Hills of Dakota

If I loved you - Carousel

You can't stop the beat - hairspray

Anything from Joseph

Sister suffragette - Mary poppins

My Fair Lady.... I could have danced all night

Can’t believe someone said who loves who dies who tells your story was a good ending to HAMILTON. What a load of dross.

@PepperSteaks I said that. I'm entitled to my opinion. How would you have preferred it ended?

I also put Who Lives Who dies on my list. It’s a fantastic ending. The way the way it decrescendos to almost nothing is beautiful. Musicals don’t have to end with a bang and a dance. A poignant, silent ending can be very effective.

A show to look into for anyone who likes 40’s big band style music is Bandstand.

This is brilliant, thank you for all your suggestions. Got the best playlist now.

Who Lives Who Dies is beautiful and makes me cry but I wouldn't add it to a playlist on its own.

Little Girls from Annie

Yes! How did I forget this song

Hepzibar and ArsnicnLace those are the songs I was coming on to mention.

Anything from 7 Brides for 7 Brothers or Calamity Jane. I especially like the Barbara Dickson version of Tell me it's not True.

Going to watch White Christmas later to try and get into the holiday mood. I love all the songs from that, except Choreography.

I also love Easy Terms from Blood Brothers

Wow I had completely forgotten about this gorgeous song, I had a CD several years ago with Michael Ball singing it, used to listen to it all the time and then lost it so it kind of slipped my mind. Off to find it on YouTube now, thanks!

I also love Running Back For More from the Tim Rice musical Blondel, especially Elaine Paige version.

And if film musicals count Papa Can You Hear Me, & A Piece of Sky from Yentl.

@Sausagefingers9 I think you should post your complete list here!

Hand Jive in Grease if that counts

I think this has already been mentioned but Tell Me It's Not True from Blood Brothers.

I need to go and see the show again now.

Superboy and the Invisible Girl from Next to Normal

Anyone have a map and you will be found- Dear Evan Hansen

Quiet, Revolting Children and when I grow up- Matilda

Gee Officer Krupke from West Side Story.

McCavity from Cats.

Oom Pa Pa from Oliver.

Tell me on a Sunday please, from Tell Me on A Sunday.

Tonight and Somewhere from West Side Story

Not read whole thread but this is fantastic: The Greatest Showman - From Now On

The Greatest Showman - Never Enough

Somewhere - Barbra Streisand

Tell me it's not true from blood brothers

Most of the Joseph soundtrack, but especially any dream Will do
