Best songs from musicals?

[clare8allthepies]

I’m a big musicals fan and the kids and I often listen to songs from musicals on our Alexa in the house. I thought that I would make a playlist that we can listen to and download for in the car etc. We’ve got up to about 30 songs so far, lots from les mis and Hamilton (for me) and the Greatest Showman (for them).

Any recommendations for ones that I might not have thought about? It’s only a matter of time before I turn them into musical afficionados like me

Ooh everyone’s talking about Jamie! I only know and they don’t even know it and I love it, any other recommendations? My girls have a dance routine to say my name from Beetlejuice, not really sure how appropriate it is for a 6 and a 9 year old

Forgot Waitress

Not technically Musical Theatre but... I’ll Make a Man Out of You is Awesome
