Fav Get-up-in-the-morning Showtunes

Posted: 1/4/05 at 7:35pm

I want to know everyone's favorite get-up-in-the-morning music. What you dance around to, not necessarily in the morning, but your favorite silly showtunes. Not "the best" or "the classics" but just FUN. Stuff you dance around to when no one's watchign!

Mine:
*Hairspray
*Mamma Mia!
*Once Upon a Mattress
*Guys and Dolls

Hairspray, and Mamma Mia! when I'm in the right mood. Little Shop, too.

anything loud that can keep me awake!
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

"Positive Role Model" is good

"You can't Stop The Beat" and "Good Morning, Baltimore" are great!

Oh. I definitely dance around to 30/90. It's not as happy as a typical song you'd dance around to, but I'm a weirdo.

Hmmm I suppose that would make me a weirdo as well. How can you NOT dance around to 30/90?

For the past few days, Evita has really done it for me in the morning.
"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being." --Phylicia Rashad

Whenever I am sad, I listen to Seasons of Love or La Vie Boheme. I don't know why, but it always puts me in a good mood, and I always listen to music while I fall asleep and it is soo cool wakeing up to You and I from Bare, Louder Than Words from Tick, Tick...Boom, or What You Own from Rent.

"Zanna Don't" ranks up there. It's impossible to not get bouncy when singing to "Who's Got Extra Love?"

Taboo pumps me right up!
"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."

I want to second most of the above (Hairspray, a bit of Taboo, Charlie, Wicked, Zanna, Rent, Q, TTB etc...) but my fave morning song is 'Opening to a New World'/ It's amazing!
