Somewhere I have an LP transfer of "Sweatin' to Broadway" or something like that...it's all disco-jazzercize esque covers of showtunes.

harajuku has an album of showtunes remixed into dance jams.

They're mostly from the popera era.

"What You Want" from Legally Blonde
"Dreamgirls" from Dreamgirls (I think it's fun to listen to while on the treadmill or exercise bike)
"Mary Jane / Mary Lane" from Reefer Madness: the Movie Musical (again, fun to listen to)
"Let Me Come Home" from The Wedding Singer
"Superstar" from Jesus Christ Superstar
"Without Love" from Hairspray (again, depends on what you're doing)

Actually, I've even worked out to "Alive" from Jekyll and Hyde, haha.

I never tried "Whipped Into Shape!" Funny, because it essentially is about working out. I'll have to try it sometime.

I love to work out to...

Wedding Singer!
Legally Blonde
Xanadu
Dreamgirls

They are all uptempo and are great for the eliptical!

Physical Fitness from All American, anyone?

I don't have a mix but I've worked out to these cast albums.

Jersey Boys
Spring Awakening
Sweeney Todd(Lansburry and Cariou)
Sweeney Todd(LuPone and Cerveris)
Sweeney Todd(Depp and Carter)
Young Frankenstein
Bat Boy
Hairspray(movie soundtrack)

I will say that if anyone listens to the Lansburry/Cariou Sweeney recording be advised not to turn the volume up during Prelude/Ballad of Sweeney Todd due in large part to the whistle. I was listening to it recently at the gym and I had the volume up and I knew it was coming and it came and scared the s*** out of me, but luckily no one saw me do that.

My favorite Broadway songs...ha! There are way to many to list but anything that Ethel Merman ever sang always gets me up and ready for action. (except her disco album!) an FYI this album was not the greatest. I highly recommend There's No Business Like Show Business: Merman's Greatest Hits or The Gypsy Recording Original Cast. Those are good starters.

If only "Carrie" had a cast recording..."In" would totally be on my workout playlist.

Sister Act is a great Show for working out!

[promisespromises2]

Posted: 2/5/14 at 6:37pm

When I actually ran I ALWAYS started with "Into the Woods (Prologue)" because it's ten minutes long and by then I was warmed up and almost not regretting my decision to run in the first place. Then I would move on to:

All That Jazz from Chicago
Raise You Up/Just Be from Kinky Boots
La Vie Boheme from RENT
One Day More from Les Mis

And basically all the long medium-fast paced songs I could think of at the time.

Don't Break the Rules from Catch Me if You Can is a great one for cardio once you're warmed up.

[Matt Rogers]

Posted: 2/5/14 at 6:45pm

If you absolutely have to work out to show tunes, I like CapnHook's list best.

[Sutton Ross]

Posted: 2/5/14 at 7:03pm

Nearly the entire Kinky Boots album.

[Mike Barrett]

Posted: 2/5/14 at 7:22pm

A real good one is Raise You Up/Just Be from Kinky Boots, which I know people already said. Other ones for me are:
Without Love and You Cant Stop the Beat- Hairspray
Here I go Again- Rock of Ages (I only listen to the Bway recording)
Two By Two- Book of Mormon
Seize the Day and King of New York- Newsies
A lot of Sister Act
Steal Your Rock and Roll- Memphis

I've never been to a gym, nor have I ever worked out (and a gym seems about as compatible with show music as sloppy joes with candied violets. Well, maybe not show music like Brooklyn, Rent, etc., compared to which a gym itself seems like candied violets.) I do encounter some fairly steep hills in my path on a daily basis, however, though I do my utmost to avoid them ( Anyone else notice just how hilly Manhattan can be?). In any event, when I meet up with one of the darned things, I soldier up the incline to the strains of Climb, Every Mountain. Then, after having reached the summit of my own personal Mt. Everest, I sing to myself, "A hundred million miracles are happening every day."

This CD on random adds a lot of energy:




Another Openin', Another Show: Broadway Overtures

In my fantasy world, After Eight and Pal Joey live on the same block and don't realize it.

[PalJoey]

I, however, do belong to a gym. I have never eaten a "candied violet," and there are no hills in my neighborhood, or none I particularly notice.

[darquegk]

Posted: 2/6/14 at 10:00am

I've never had a candied violet (except maybe once, if that's what it was, and I loathed it), but I've had violet flavored candies- JuJuBees have a "violet" flavor which isn't too bad.

The overture to Promises Promises (especially the somewhat faster revival version) is a good one for on the treadmill.
