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".

Actually, that's great! I'm looking for about 10 songs that have ANYTHING to do with "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.

From the Cockney Damn Yankees:

"You Gotta 'Ave 'Eart"

Hi, MJ! How've ya been?

"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.

Thanks NLS - "Talent" is the name of that song and that's a GREAT one for what I need!!

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!

"Art is Calling for Me" is a good one.

"Vissi D'Arte" ("I Live for Art") from Tosca...?

"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.

How about "Portrait of a Girl" from Bare: A Pop Opera & "Pretty Little Picture" from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum?
