re: Show Moments that remind us of OTHER show moments

That happens to me a lot when I listen to recordings by the same composer...I can hear bits of West Side Story when I listen to On the Town, I even heard some Godspellish chords in Wicked. The same goes for singers. When Norbert walked on stage in Wicked, my brain just kept thinking "Jamie Wellerstein" instead.
HROK?

While listening to Pacific Overtures or Anyone Can Whistle, there is a distinct melody that can be heard in both...I can't excatly type it out - but it's there. It's mostly background music - a little faster.

Actually, "what do you do with a BA in English" is more or less an INVERSION of "Why are there so many songs about rainbows". Believe me, it was done on purpose. They were trying to duplicate the Muppet music sound. "If You Were Gay" and "My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada" really capture the style.

Even though this was intentional, the Evita-style scene in Wicked ("Thank Goodness").

The "for me" at the end of Lucy's song in Ave Q and at the end of "The Big Dollhouse" in Hairspray (both were intentional, too)

"I Dreamed a Dream" and "On My Own" have a similar sound and feel, hence they are from the same musical.

"Not For the Life of Me" from Thoroughly Modern Millie starts out slow, then moves onto a faster pace, just as "Every Story is a Love Story" from Aida does. They are also both the opening numbers in the shows and are sung by female belters.

"Betrayed" from The Producers distinctly feels like "Rose's Turn" from Gypsy. And "Little Old Lady Land" also from the Producers is distincly "Loveland" from Follies.

On the same note, "Run Freedom Run" is in the style of the gospel inflected 11 o'clock numbers, such as Frank Loesser's "Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat" from Guys and Dolls or "The Brotherhood of Man" from H2$

Don't ask me why, but Shy from Once Upon a Mattress & Popular from Wicked.

And the person who said Wonderful & Mr. Cellophane - yeah. That too. Except the latter is a much, much better song.

There was something else, and now I can't remember.

Maybe the OUAM and popular because Cheno sang it on a bed and matress is mentioned in the title?

As long as your mine and written in the stars.

Crap there was something from she loves me and something else but i cant remember the other song.

re: Show Moments that remind us of OTHER show moments

I was just thinking the other day how The Dance Of The Robe scene in Aida reminded me of the Temple scene of JCS. The crowds, the touching etc... I was almost expecting Aida to go 'There's too many of you, don't crowd me ...'!!!
