On my Own, is a showstopper, but probably overdone
also
The Millers Son from A Little Night Music, it's probably not as popular......try that, I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Posted: 4/22/05 at 10:10amIf you are an "Emma" from J&H, why not try "In His Eyes" as a solo instead of a duet. Definitely a showstopper. Or "It's Only Love" from Scarlet Pimpernel.

Posted: 4/22/05 at 1:20pmA very beautiful song with a great high-note ending is Will He Like Me from She Loves Me. From the same show, and flashier, is, of course, Ice Cream.

Posted: 4/22/05 at 2:19pmI vote Ice Cream too. Age & audience appropriate, fun to sing and act, and always gets the audience laughing with you.

Posted: 4/22/05 at 2:48pmI'm Telling You Im not Going from Dreamgirls is an incredible showstopper.

Posted: 4/22/05 at 3:46pmIf you want a really good showstopper that nobody at your camp would ever think of doing, try "Lonely House" from STREET SCENE.

Posted: 4/22/05 at 4:01pmThanks everyone for all of your suggestions! I think I'm going to stick with "Unusual Way," but I was considering "Ice Cream" for a while.
#35re: Female Showstoppers
Posted: 4/22/05 at 4:03pmI think a really fun one could be "I Have Confidence" from The Sound of Music.

Posted: 4/22/05 at 4:34pmmy fair lady. a lot of these people are not listening to what you want. unusual way is an excellent pick.. ice cream and lonely house would be fine back-ups too.

Your voice sounds a lot like mine and if that is the case, Unusual Way is fantastic. Nine is amazing. I used to cry everytime I heard that song.
I'm actually singing "In His Eyes" in a voice recital with another girl, but I'm singing Linda Eder's part though.

I love "Unusual Way" as well.
"Show Me" from My Fair Lady is another good one.
"Is It Really Me?" from 110 in the Shade is beautiful but not necessarily a showstopper.

Posted: 4/22/05 at 5:03pmanother 110 in the shade is "simple little things".. but that show isn't really about showstoppers. a better bet would be the same composers' "much more" from the fantasticks. again, not a real showstopper, but if done right it's compelling.

Posted: 4/22/05 at 5:16pmI was in My Fair Lady at my camp last summer, but they cut "Show Me."

Posted: 4/22/05 at 6:05pm"Show Me" is a great song but you'd better have a damn good pianist.

Posted: 4/22/05 at 9:29pmAnother good, somewhat obscure song that could be a showstopper is "I Never Said I Love You" from DEAR WORLD.
