Posted: 9/15/12 at 12:26pmI was thinking about putting a playlist together of Broadway music to listen to when I am angry/frustrated but was having a tough time coming up with more than a few songs. What does everyone else think? What Broadway music do you listen to after a bad day???

The Money Tree - The Act
Angel's Rink and Social Center and Don't Ah Ma Me - The Rink
Someday is for Suckers - The Life

ETA: Just looking at The Rink again and almost every song is laced with anger, bitter sarcasm, or profound disappointment except for the two or three ballads.
