In putting together the next BroadwayWorld.com Front and Center concert featuring the cast of BARE, we would like to ask what the members here at BroadwayWorld would like to hear this phenomenal cast sing.
We'll be doing rock songs as well as musical theatre numbers and will take some of the best suggestions from YOU!
Thanks for your help!
Love, Jamie

Mistress- Don't you make enough money running websites? Jamie- I will check my songbook and get back to you!!
"I'm learning to dig deep down inside and find the truth within myself and put that out. I think what we identify with in popular music more than anything else is when someone just shares a truth that we can relate to. That's what I'm searching for in my music." - Ron Bohmer
"I broke the boundaries. It wasn't cool to be in plays- especially if you were in sports & I was in both." - Ashton Kutcher
Here are a couple of songs and I will send more suggestions later. -"Who Will Love Me as I am?" from Side Show -"Being Alive" from Company -"A Miracle Would Happen/When You come Home to Me"-The Last Five Years -"Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You"-The Last Five Years -"Louder than Words" -Tick Tick Boom -"30/90"-Tick Tick Boom -"Come to Your Senses"-Jenna Leigh Green singing from Tick Tick Boom (she would be so incredible!) -"Sailing" from A New Brain -"I Have So Many Songs" frm A New Brain -"Sunset Boulevard" from Sunset Boulevard via John Hill -"Cabaret" from Cabaret -"Starlight Express" from Starlight Express
These are all great!!! Keep them coming! And try to be as specific as possible like:
Please I want to hear Kaitlin Hopkins singing Some Enchanted Evening.
Try to stay away from things you know they do on a regular basis or roles you know they've played, let them stretch themselves a little!
Thanks again...
and no you don't get free tickets if you do this...sorry...I'd just as easily pick songs for them to do, as they are all incredibly talented and could do just about anything we'd ask, but we thought this would be alot more fun and a great way of involving the BWW community!

The New World, Hear My Song, Flying Home, and River Won't Flow from Songs for a New World are great group numbers.
Kaitlin Hopkins doing "We Can Do Better Than That" from L5Y
Some of the women doing "I'm a Woman" from Smokey Joe's Cafe
Also try some songs from Chess.
I know I'm not being too specific but I didn't see the show and I don't really know their voices too well. I'm just going by music type. I'll re-listen to the Demo CD and post more.
OMG, you mean we can REQUEST a song? I'm flipping out here. Only one dear request:
Michael Arden - 'Origin of Love' (from Hedwig and the Angry Inch)
PRETTY PLEASE! I love the song, and I'd love for Michael Arden's gorgeous vocals to belt this melody.
Is anyone recording this to be put online? I won't be in NYC at the time.

HEDWIG: "The road is my home. In reflecting upon the people whom I have come upon in my travels, I cannot help but think of the people who have come upon me."
Please please please include "Inside Your Heart" from Bat Boy, with Michael Arden doing Bat Boy's part and John Hill doing Shelley's part. The lyrics take on a whole new meaning with two boys.
