Dream-like songs?#1

Posted: 11/13/07 at 3:15pm

Hi guys! I am in the musical theatre program at the University of Miami and we are have a recital soon. The theme is "Dream Songs"- dreaming as in LITERALLY. Do you have any suggestions for songs that are dreamlike in any way? Doesn't matter if it's male or female. THANKS!

- Movie in my Mind from "Miss Saigon"?
"somewhere that's Green"?

Are you looking for something like:

I Dreamed a Dream (Les Miserables)
If I Could Only Dream this World Away (Woman in White)

or like literal as in thinking state like:
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again (Phantom of the Opera)
Someone Like You (Jekyll & Hyde)
A New Life (Jekyll & Hyde)

Hopefully these helped!

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.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "dreaming", but I hope these suggestions help:

In His Eyes (Jekyll and Hyde) <=if anyone was planning a duet
Once Upon A Dream (Jekyll and Hyde)
The Wizard and I (Wicked)
When I Look At You (The Scarlet Pimpernel)

Bow before the cuteness of my cousin!!! ;]

"Wheels of a Dream"- Ragtime
"Around the World"- Grey Gardens

And I always thought "The Guilty Ones" from Spring Awakening had a dreamlike quality. It's not a solo but you could probably sing it as one.

I know you. I know you. I know you.

I'm glad other people had trouble figuring out the question, too, because I sat there last night for about five minutes going wtf?

There's a sh*tload of material in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
