What's thesong you can't get out of your head after months even years...
Seussical- Thinks you can Think Mamma Mia- Mamma Mia!
KRISTEN CHENOWETH
To show my gratitude, I'll offer you this pointy black hat, which is just like the one Original Wicked Witch Margaret Hamilton wore in the movie!
IDINA MENZEL
What a great idea! How about throughout the play, you continue to offer me things like a black cloak, or a black
cape, or a broom to make me look more and more like Margaret Hamilton did! These attempts at humor will be painfully
predictable from a mile away!

"Chicago is it's own incredible theater town right there smack down in the middle of the heartland. What a great city! I can see why Oprah likes to live there!" - Dee Hoty :-D
just did a tap number to this last Saturday and we had to sing too, so it has been stuck in my head all year. haha. just starting to leave my head now
"But I relish every brillant inspired moment. This is who I'm determined to be- an actor/singer/dancer-no, I take that back, this is who I am. These people are my tribe, my destiny. I know it.

a wild, wild party for lippa's wild party is rather catchy although its technically off broadway
"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
"Everyone's a Little Bit Racist"--Avenue Q...yeah it's not the best song to be singing when you're walking down the aisle at the grocery store...but I always hum it anyways.
"It's the smile you smile that counts, happy thoughts in large amounts, any problem you can trounce, you can bounce right back."--Donald O'Connor
I never heard or saw Chitty until today, when I watched my DVD which I owned for a year but never opened.
"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" got stuck in my head and has been in there all day - and I don't know the damned lyrics!
I think the Sherman brothers are the song-writing teams best known for stuck-in-your-head showtunes.
"Supercalifragulisticexpealidious" or however its spelled, and "Chitty."
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
I still have 'Merrily We Roll Along (1980)/ Rich and Happy' stuck in my head. Also 'Pandemonium' and 'I Speak Six Languages' is quite catchy as well. Avenue Q has a catchy score.
"The cynicism you refer to, I acquired the day I discovered I was different from little boys!~All About Eve
As far as my personal experience, "Master of the House" is unbelievably catchy. I was singing that song for weeks after the show and I still don't even know the words...but the tune...whoa. That sticks.
Also, on behalf of my friend, I second "Shakalaka Baby." She was singing it for months and we never even saw the show. Just walked past the theatre where they blared it during the day.
Ugh. I almost always have a showtune stuck in my head.
"Lonely Goatherd" from 'The Sound of Music' is one of those that stays for days... "Wrong Note Rag" from 'Wonderful Town'... always. Ugh. Most of 'Avenue Q' is pretty catchy. "Popular" is one of those that you can listen to once, and three hours later you're banging your head against the wall, trying to get the "Laaa laa, laaa laaa"s out. Or is that just me?
I was originally thinking "Popular" from Wicked until I saw that someone had said "Seventy-Six Trombones" and it imediately started running through my head. That song stays in my head for days and days and days. I constantly find myself singing the words out loud, despite the fact that I don't know what comes after the coronet part.
