"I Read" - Passion.
But really, if you take "Everything's Coming up Roses" out of context and look it as a genuine hopeful song, it could be uplifting?
Or the Sound of Music etc.
or Light from N2N?
"For Now" - Avenue Q?
Idk, there are probably uplifting songs in every 0.8 musicals because the nature of theatre etc..

Posted: 9/19/10 at 7:03amIn context, how happy is "happy talk" meant to be? At least as presented in the revival PBS broadcast it seemed a little depressing.
