What do you think is the best song in each of the new musicals this season?
I'd love to hear what you all think! I haven't seen every new show but these are mine:
Suffs--The March
The Outsiders--Run Run Brother (or maybe Great Expectations)
The Notebook--Leave The Light On (or My Days)
The Great Gatsby--Past Is Catching Up To Me (or My Green Light)
Days of Wine and Roses--Evanesce
Here Lies Love--Here Lies Love
Water For Elephants--Go Home
Back To The Future--It Works
Harmony--Threnody (or Harmony)
Stereophonic (not a musical)--Masquerade
Illinoise (jukebox)--Chicago
Hell's Kitchen (jukebox)--No One, but I loved The River which I think is original
Didn't see Lempicka or How to Dance in Ohio

Past Is Catching Up To Me is definitely the best in Gatsby.

Back to the Future- It Works
Days of Wine and Roses- First Breath or Morton Salt Girl
Water for Elephants- Lion Has Got No Teeth or You've Got Nothing
I concur with many of your choices...
Suffs - Finish the Fight, The March, Worth It
The Outsiders - Great Expectations, Run Run Brother
The Notebook - Leave The Light On, My Days,
The Great Gatsby - My Green Light, Past Is Catching Up To Me
Days of Wine and Roses - Forgiveness
Here Lies Love - Here Lies Love
Water For Elephants - I honestly did not enjoy any songs in this show
Back To The Future - Something About That Boy
Harmony - Every Single Day, Where You Go
Illinoise (jukebox) - Chicago
Hell's Kitchen (jukebox) - hated the show, but I do enjoy Follow the River and Kaleidoscope
Lempicka - Woman Is, Perfection, Speed
How to Dance in Ohio - I guess Building Momentum? It's the only song I even somewhat remember from this show

I have no idea why they haven't featured Past Is Catching Up To Me in one of their TV performances. I know Eva isn't in it, but it's legitimately great.

I kinda like that it's this surprise moment that unfolds without having been spoiled. Let the audience get chills, same way I did.
Back To The Future - 21st Century
The Pet Shop Boys are my favourite band and this electro pop song is presented like a Pet Shop Boys gig.

Haven't seen Hell's Kitchen yet. Some songs I like because of how they're used in context whereas others I just like listening to, so it's hard to compare, though in doing this I realized my favorite scores are Harmony, Outsiders, and Suffs (and of course Stereophonic).
