Best Group numbers to sing?

Posted: 1/29/04 at 6:07pm

I am in my schools concert choir and we are planning on singing broadway for our spring concert. Yes i know that nothing is anywhere near as good as the real thing but we have a very good choir. What are good group numbers to sing? I kno a lot of them if taken out of context aren't so great to do. Any suggestions? We could use all the help we can get before our teacher picks some corny medley that is going to shame both our choir and broadway!!

Do You Hear The People Sing from "Les Miz"

Seasons of Love from "Rent"

One from "A Chorus Line"

People from "Funny Girl"

Aquarius from "Hair"

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

My Fair Lady is a good one, as is Guys and Dolls. Actually, many oldies are good. Just don't pick too many ballads.

too many ballads will kill a show, and everybody always wants to do ballads. Anyone in here ever in a show choir that did a Cabaret show? That was always our problem.

Now on another note, I FINALLY SEE THE SMURFS! I AM SO EXCITED! I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR A COUPLE DAYS NOW!!!!!!!!! Shake it, Shake, Shake it! Shake it like a polaroid picture!re: re: re: re: re: Best Group numbers to sing?

I love The Music Man... What about Iowa Stubborn? HAHA! Just kidding. Did you say it had to be upbeat? If not, then what about The Ballad of Sweeney Todd? I love that one.

thanks guys!! u are giving me great suggestions, but since i dont have some of the cast recordings does anybody have any specific songs that would be good rather than shows?

Seasons of Love~RENT
Do you hear the People Sing?~LES MISERABLES
Finale~PIPPIN (the first part-"Think about your Life")
Coffee Break~HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING

These are just a few suggestions that my school show choir has done in the past.

Magic to Do from Pippin is a really good song for a choir.



I don't think you should do Seasons of Love because it's getting kind of played out (this coming from a huge RENThead).
I have my books and my poetry to protect me...
