Hi guys. I am producing my partner's cabaret and we need a suggestion from all you musical theater whizzes. We are opening with the "Life of the Party" from The Wild Party (Lippa) but we want to end the show with a song that is about time or time being up. Something like that. NOT "The Party's Over". That just seems to cliche'. Can anyone thing of a good song from a show or a standard that will end our cabaret that has something to do with time being up?? We are stuck!
Sum, we thought about it, but we don't think it's going to work for our show. Keep on thinking everyone! I know someone can think of the perfect song for us.
I don't think it fits, but I just got Alix Korey's CD and this thread made me think of a song she sings from Portrait of Jeannie called Remember Today.
we are thinking about doing When It Ends from the other Wild Party. It would be a little inside joke that the show starts with one Wild Party and ends with another Wild Party. You know the song that Eartha Kitt sings? the key is weird but it can be transposed.
EFX is the special effects musical that played in Vegas first with Michael Crawford then David Cassidy and Tommy Tune and Rick Springfild. Anyway, "Somewhere in Time" was in the Michael Crawford version and it was just a really beautiful song that was pre-recorded and played prior to the show when everyone was taking their seats. it talks about time being a circle and how the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning... it's just a perdy song...
romanov! we may have a winner. we have that sheet music and are looking at it right now. on a sidenote, did you know that The laChuisa Wild Party is out of print. Damn! I never bought it and I love it.
What about "The Next Ten Minutes" from The Last 5 Years, or "Moving Too Fast" from the same score?
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.
