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

Love changes everything - Aspects of love
Some enchanted evening - South Pacific
Something Good - Sound of Music
Music of the Night - Phantom of the Opera

I could go on and on - I love musicals!

Great idea. You've got to put 'tell me it's not true' from Blood Brothers!

beanaseireann · 15/12/2018 20:05

Take That Look Off Your Face from Tell Me On A Sunday

Don't Cry For Me Argentina from Evita

Another Suitcase in Another Hall from Evita

Do you hear the people sing from Les Mis

Tell Me Its Not True from Blood Brothers

beanaseireann · 18/12/2018 20:26

Tell me it's not true
Sung by Rebecca Storm
Absolutely heartbreaking.

TwistedStitch · 18/12/2018 20:43

bean I saw Rebecca Storm perform in a 'songs from the musicals' show in Blackpool nearly 3 decades ago, that was the first time I ever heard that song and she was absolutely fantastic the whole night. Never forgotten it, cemented my love for musical theatre!

Shallow at the moment

TheApprentice · 18/12/2018 22:00

Love loads of songs already mentioned.

Also Something Wonderful from The King and I is one of my favourites.

Maria from West Side Story
Colours of my life from Barnum

Stupomax · 19/12/2018 01:42

It's a standing joke in our family that I don't get musicals.

But "Bring Him Home" from Les Mis and "It's Quiet Uptown" from Hamilton both make me cry every time I hear them.

MrsJayy · 19/12/2018 08:02

I have been listening to the Evita sound track last few day OHwhat a circus and Santa Evita is my favourites

Birdsgottafly · 19/12/2018 08:33

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly and O'l Man River, Show Boat.

If I was a Rich Man and Tradition, Fiddler on the Roof.

I still love Bibbty Bobbity Boo.

From Disney, Colours of wind and Tale as old as time.

rightreckoner · 19/12/2018 08:41

Summertime from Porgy and Bess

Consider Yourself and
I’d Do Anything from Oliver

We Go Together from Grease

I’d forgotten how brilliant Evita is until this thread. Especially the David Essex Oh What A Circus one as a pp has mentioned. The rasp in his voice Smile

bobstersmum · 19/12/2018 08:46

Loving A million Dreams from The Greatest Showman at the moment

ShatnersWig · 19/12/2018 08:48

Anything from Follies
Anything from Sweeney Todd
Anything from Company
Anything from Anyone Can Whistle
Anything from Assassins
Anything from A Little Night Music
and around half of Into the Woods

Just redressing the balance as there is FAR too much Lloyd Webber on this list and nowhere near enough Sondheim!

Add in anything from Titanic, Avenue Q, Nine, Book of Mormon, Hamilton, Hairspray, La Cage Aux Folles, Dear World, Mame, Mack & Mabel, The Light in the Piazza, My Fair Lady, Show Boat, Candide and that'll do me.

Birdsgottafly · 19/12/2018 08:53

I forgot "summertime and the living is easy".

MrsJayy · 19/12/2018 08:53

A million dreams, is now on a bed advert i heard it the other day I think a part of my soul died when I heard it.

TheVanguardSix · 19/12/2018 09:07

I’m Still Here- Follies

Right I’ve got most of these now! Also added some favourites from children’s films to lighten it up. I particularly like ‘Mother knows best’ from tangled and sing it to my kids Grin

Anyone watch crazy ex girlfriend? I have a few songs from that too as they are fun and catchy.
