Brainstorming for a project about the workplace, office life, jobs, etc - besides the obvious "Working" musical, and "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying", does anyone have any other songs/shows suggestions that go with this theme? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I think a musical version of '9 to 5' is in the works.

Music from already existing musicals, please :) Stuff that is in the works - well, I can't gain access to it, now, can I? *wink*

I WANNA BE A PRODUCER from THE PRODUCERS is a great song that fits. PAJAMA GAME is a fun show that centers on the business world as well.

I was gonna say that All About the Green is a good choice. Also, a song from Bright Lights, Big City. It's called Fact/Fiction. It's really good.

Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.

I forget the title to the number, but..BIG has a great "make my coffee black" song, it deals with toy production form idea to presentation.
