I need a song that is kinda like Mae in The Wild Party or Hope in Urinetown.....PLEASE HELP! I'm pulling my hair out listening to thousands of CDs to find something. I need something that a female can act the hell out of that is hilarious!
Just a guess, but maybe one of WInnifred's songs in Once Upon a Mattress.....Shy, Happily Ever After, and a song where she talks about her homeland....Swampy Lands or something like that. I've never heard those two songs you still as examples....and I own Urinetown(I've never listened to it yet!!!!!). Anyways, perhaps those can help....it worked for Carol Burnett.
"A Trip to the Library" from She Loves Me
"No Man Left for me" from The Will Rogers Follies
"You can always count on me" from City of Angels
Hope these help:)
How about "Miss Byrd" from CLOSER THAN EVER, or "I'm Breaking Down" from FALSETTOS?
Or if you want an oldie but goodie, try "If You Hadn't (But You Did)" from TWO ON THE AISLE.
"Let's Step Out" from Anything Goes
Anything from Avenue Q. I've done "Everyone's a little bit racist" and "Mix Tape" and they always seem to go over pretty well. Good luck!!

"Rita's Confession" from LUCKY STIFF;
"Nobody Does It Like Me" from SEESAW (I think)
Good luck!
Gorgous and Movie Star - The Apple Tree
I also second Happily Ever After from Mattress
"feelings" from the apple tree
"ss bernard cohen" on a clear day (i think thats what it is from)
Not like Hope but HILARIOUS:
Rich, Famous and Powerful: The Songs Of David Freidman.(Listen To My Heart)
HYSTERICAL- Alix Korey who is brilliant sang it to perfection.
I actually think that song would work for Jackie Hoffman.
