"One Night In Bangkok" - CHESS

Not only the first rap song in a Broadway/West End musical, but the first rap song to hit #1 on the US pop single chart which cements its place in history. It may also have been the first #1 rap music video as well, but I'm not positive about that.

P.S. tazber- is RAPMASTER RONNIE a real show?! If it weren't for Swados's name I wouldn't believe it, but she's done things far more bizarre... or maybe that's the brilliance of your parody? IS it a parody? I'm intrigued!

can we consider every time Rex Harrison "sings" in My Fair Lady a rap?

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

It's Time, the act II opener to Big.

In fact the song pokes fun of the fact that Billy is in fact rapping with him rapping this line.

"Look at me, nothings worse crap then a little,white Polish boy from Jersey talking rap."

There's a rap in "Starlight Express." Can't remember the name, but it may have just been called, "The Rap." The lyrics are truly dreadful.

Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

haha whizzer! I hate that rap in Starlight. It's the opening of Act II in the original London version I believe and it is indeed called "The Rap".

....but the world goes 'round

RAPMASTER RONNIE is indeed a real show. it ran Off-Broadway in the early 80's.

The idea from the show is really an off-shoot of Swados' "Doonesberry" musical. There was a Ronnie Reagan Rap sequence (not heard on the cast recoding) performed by Reathel Bean, who went on to play Reagan in Rapmaster Ronnie.

Someone mentioned "Play Game" from tick, tick...Boom , and they actually added it back in for the production i saw at George Street Playhouse (if my memory serves me correctly)

Hmm I didn't realize there were so many musicals with raps in them. And here I thought In the Heights was the only trashy rap musical
