If you could get up and sing one Broadway song in front of a crowd...

...which one (and only one!) would you choose?


Even though it was sung in the movie version years beforehand, I would like to get up and sing "Le Jazz Hot" from VICTOR/VICTORIA because it's such a bouncy, fun number with a great beat and great lyrics.

I was tempted to say Shine from Billy Elliot, but I'm sticking to my roots.

Cabaret.

The title song from HELLO, DOLLY! (in full costume)

The Star Spangled Banner with a good band and better orchestrations.

Velma's Revenge from Hairspray.

I'm sorry to be anal, but what are the rules here? Do I retain my same age, gender and vocal ability? (If so, I'm pretty much limited to something originated by Rex Harrison or Cyril Ritchard.)

Or do I get to imagine I am physically and vocally appropriate to any song I care to choose?

I'd have to get a big group of friends together and we would all sing and dance "I Hope I Get It" from A Chorus Line

Hey, Gaveston, "Whatever blows your skirt up!" as they say. Just go with your inner gypsy... and have fun.

Music and the Mirror. Full costume. Full Orchestra *with* Harp. Full staging.

[Gaveston2]

Posted: 9/28/11 at 6:44pm

Then I think I'll go with "Soliloquy" from CAROUSEL. That's a hell of an 8-minute solo.

[smallworld]

Posted: 9/28/11 at 6:46pm

Yay, first post! :] Anyways, mine would definitely be Rose's Turn.

[egghumor]

Posted: 9/28/11 at 6:48pm

Seems like the only thing we're missing at this early point in the thread is someone wailing "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going."

[FrauleinKost]

At the moment--Losing My Mind, from Follies, because it fits my current mood (unfortunately!!)

[FrauleinKost]

Posted: 9/28/11 at 7:03pm

wait wait, or "World Take Me Back" from Hello, Dolly!

[broadwaybabywannabe]

Posted: 9/28/11 at 7:08pm

'Anyone Can Whistle' from the show of the same name...to me it is a very personal song, and a very 'who i am song' for me to sing...

[I'm New]

Posted: 9/28/11 at 7:15pm

And I am telling you

[jawjuhh]

All That Jazz

[singtopher]

Posted: 9/28/11 at 8:03pm

Trouble. And then everyone would naturally sing the chorus parts.

[SondheimFan5]

Being Alive or Soliloquy
