Broadway song/Showtune that Best Describes you

Posted: 5/24/06 at 3:22pm

There probably is a thread about this, but who cares ... let's have another one.

Name as many songs as you like that best desribes you as a person.

My song would be 'Great Big Stuff' -- Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Making my entrance again
With my usual flair.
Sure of my lines.
No one is there.

I can't really explain it
I haven't got the words
It's a felling you can't control
I suppose it's like forgetting
Loosing who you are
And at the same time
Something makes you whole.
In my heart, I found the answered dream, and in my soul I found the song, and in my friends I found the magic, the love, the moon up above- they were mine, all mine, all along..!

I will not be the girl, stuck at home in the burbs
With the baby, the dog and a garden of herbs.
I will not be the girl, in the sensible shoes
Pushing burgers and beer nuts and missing the clues.
I will not be the girl who gets asked how it feels
to be trotting along at the genius' heels.

I will not be the girl who requires a man to get by....
On the road of life, do not pause for suicidal chipmunks who freeze in your headlights, seeking death by your tires...

Who will love me as I am?

-Side Show
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

What am i doing alone on the shelf
ain't it a shame but knows to blame but myself
which way is clear,
when you've lost your way year after year
Do i keep falling in love for just the kick of it
stagering through the thin and thick of it
hating each old and tired trick of it
you know what i am
i'm good and sick of it

I thought
Hey- what a way to spend the day
Hey- what a way to spend the day
I make a vow
I wonder now-
Am I cut out to spend my time this way?

There's a lot I am not certain of...

Wow - Theateraddict- great minds think alike! :)

"Why" * Tick, Tick...BOOM!
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

I've always identified with "Lion Tamer" from The Magic Show, even though I'm not pining for any guy. Just how she feels so shy and insignificant.

Also "I Read" from Passion... although I do read to think. re: Broadway song/Showtune that Best Describes you

"Painting Her Portrait" from Jane Eyre is so something I would do. You can't have the guy, you're too inferior, how could you ever think he would like you? Hahaha.

"There's a Fine, Fine, Line" from Avenue Q. Describes my love life perfectly!

And... the line "I suck, I suck, I suck, I suck!" from "Climbing Uphill" from The Last Five Years is something I have felt quite often, as I'm sure many have. I've actually burst out singing that whenever frustrated during practice and whatnot. re: Broadway song/Showtune that Best Describes you
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

They all deserve to die
tell you why Mrs. Lovett, tell you why
Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief
For the rest of us death will be a relief

JUST KIDDING (although I do feel that way sometimes)

Seriously though, "Soliloquy" from Carousel is a song I've always felt a strong personal attachment to. Also "Being Alive" from Company (as cheezy as it is).

I'd like to say "I'm Still Here" from Follies, but to be honest about what BEST describes me, I have to say "Sing!" from A Chorus Line.

from Footloose

My baby, he don't talk sweet
He ain't got much to say
But he loves me, loves me, loves me
I know that he loves me anyway

And maybe he don't dress fine
But I don't really mind
'Cause every time he pulls me near
I just wanna cheer

Let's hear it for the boy
Let's give the boy a hand
Let's hear it for my baby
You know you gotta understand
Maybe he's no Romeo
But he's my loving one-man show
Whooa, whooa, whooa-oh
Let's hear it for the boy
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story... AGATHA CHRISTIE, Life magazine, May 14, 1956
