Posted: 8/2/06 at 10:41amBrainstorming 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!

Posted: 8/2/06 at 11:13amI 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.

Posted: 8/2/06 at 11:13amI 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.

If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....
Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
