Songs about "ART"

Posted: 7/30/07 at 11:45am

Hey guys - long time, no post from me...

I'm needing some help as I'm drawing a big blank. I need as many theatre songs as possible that have to do with ART either in the title or the theme of the song. So far I've got:

- EVERYTHING from Sunday in the Park with George
- Putting it Together

And that's it... My brain can't get past Sondheim, so any additions are appreciated!!

Well, this might not fit your theme - but the waitress song from Working is called "It's an Art".

Okay - another total random moment - the generals song in Evita is "The Art of the Possible". Kind of a crap song out of context though. lol.

"Paint Your Wagon"? Even though it doesn't really have much to do with painting. Or wagons.

"Art" from Sondheim's BOUNCE. It's a fantastic song!

There's a video of it on YouTube.

There's an incredibly funny song in Ahrens & Flaherty's "A Man of No Importance" called "Art"...
I'll be in this show in September and love that song!

"The Artist at 40" by John Bucchino (from It's Only Life)

There is also a musical being shopped around NYC lately called "Painting the Wind" (based on an incident with VanGough). The title song would fit in very nicely to your theme.

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!
