Ok! Very obvious! But I assume that "The Impossible Dream" was one of your first choices!

Some old chestnuts:

"Climb Every Mountain" - The Sound of Music
"You'll Never Walk Alone" - Carousel

Actually - having played the role of Don Quixote many times over - yes, The Impossible Dream is definitely going to be in my show. Thanks for reminding me, though!

While it's nice to know that you are versatile, I'm not sure how it relates to this thread!

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a handsome and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "WOW--WHAT A RIDE!!!!""

that is an amazing quote!...

I know in context it's quite the opposite of inspiring, but I think out of context "A New Life" from Jekyll and Hyde is beautiful and inspiring. As is the Finale of Les Mis, but that's not very cabaret-y. It just has the notable mention of "Tomorrow Comes." OH "Tomorrow" from Annie-your audience would LOVVVVe that! (haha)

these are probably obvious but...
suddenly seymour from little shop is about someone being there for you, and not being alone,
happiness from you're a good man charlie brown,
you must love me from evita,
if i didnt believe in you from the last five years is great, you'd have to listen to it to decide if you feel that it fits your criteria or not, i think it may

well, i dont know how they'd do in a caberet setting, but they may work. either way, break a leg!

I'll have to check what show it's from and the title but there is a song called (I think) Life Has Been Good. Leah Delaria did a jazz version of it on her last cd. It's so much inspirational as justa fun song about someone who is satisfied with what they have in life.

[redhotinnyc2]

Posted: 4/26/04 at 2:18pm

That is interesting - please let me know if you find out more about it...Thanks!

I know, I'm so helpful. I know a songf from a show, it's about something and Leah Delaria sang it one one of her cds.
It's like when I give directions....go past that house that I hate the color of, turn after one...maybe two sets of lights....could be three

[redhotinnyc2]

Posted: 4/26/04 at 4:19pm

well...I'm sure you MEAN well...LOL...and no problem - if and when you find out - just lemme know and I'll be glad to check it out!
