I agree with those above that mentioned. "Feelin Electric." I saw this number on youtube and I love the song, the staging, the lights, I really wished it would have stayed in the show, and i think the show is nearly perfect as is.
I have to disagree with "Growing Up Unstable," it didn't do it for me. And "Costco," I did not care for at all.
"Clandango" from ADDAMS FAMILY "Tear It Up and Throw It Away" from AVENUE Q "Pekes and the Pollicles" from CATS <--- It is on the video, but sometimes when I see the show it is not included, instead adding Growltiger, never understood the switching of numbers "Class" from CHICAGO (film) "Smile Girls" from GYPSY "Love and War" from LEGALLY BLONDE "Wastng Away" from LITTLE MERMAID "Tattletales", "The One I Love" and "Out of Control" from 9 TO 5
I agree with all the Next to Normal songs, but the one I really miss is from the 2002 workshop called:
However this song was replaced by A Light in the Dark and I love that song so it's okay Funny Love
For those who thought NEXT TO NORMAL wouldn't have a life outside Broadway, well it's now playing in 4 cities, 9 different countries and has been translated into 6 languages.
I guess N2N is popular in this thread because it went through iterations after it hit the New York scene (and was popular on this board back then). From that I'd have to say the opening "Let There Be Light." Brian D'Arcy James's voice cutting through the intro/prologue/overture was one of my favorite moments in the show.
From Company, "Marry Me a Little" is also a favorite, though that was given its just moment in the revival.
Costco- Next To Normal I could get used to this- Shrek (it has it's moments) But Nice She Ain't- Gypsy From Jekyll & Hyde: -I need to know -Bring on the Men -Bitch, Bitch, Bitch -Confrontation (the original version was a spectacular solo, the version that made it to broadway... not so much)
"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel
I Need to Know, Bring on the Men, Girls of the Night and The World Has Gone Insane - Jekyll and Hyde Home Again, Marguerite and Now When the Rain Falls - The Scarlet Pimpernel (and since the original production: Vivez and Believe)
"What can you expect from a bunch of seitan worshippers?" - Reginald Tresilian
Love all of the four "Lost in Boston" cds and the companions "Unsung Musicals". My personal faves from the 4 Lost in Bostons are "It Was Always You" from Applause and "Come Down from the Tree" from "...Island"...especially sung by the sublime Lillias White...or me.
There was also an "Unsung Sondheim" release which has a bunch of gems, my favorites being "There's Always a Woman" from Anyone Can Whistle and "What Can You Lose" sung gorgeously by Judy Kuhn. I'm not sure it was from a show tho...I thought it was cut from Dick Tracy.
"Carson has combined his passion for helping children with his love for one of Cincinnati's favorite past times - cornhole - to create a unique and exciting event perfect for a corporate outing, entertaining clients or family fun."
Having grown up to the incessant sound of the OBC of Sound of Music, I was disappointed when the two delightful "adult" songs from Max and Elsa were cut from the film. Don't want to bore the children, I guess.
The inclusion of "How Can Love Survive" and "No Way to Stop It" would have helped Oscar overcome the accusations of over-sentimentality. They were witty and cynical for Oscar.
Especially like "No Way:"
While somersaulting at a cockeyed angle, We make a cockeyed circle 'round the sun. And when we circle back to where we started from, Another year has run.
And there's no way to stop it, No, there's no way to stop it, If the earth wants to roll around the sun. You're a fool if you worry. You're a fool if you worry, Over anything but little number one.
"From that I'd have to say the opening "Let There Be Light." Brian D'Arcy James's voice cutting through the intro/prologue/overture was one of my favorite moments in the show. "
This. I absolutely loved that part and was sad when they cut it.
