Hey everyone,

I need to find an up tempo musical theatre song about working a job (an kind of job. More about working in general vs a song specifically about being a waitress or something). I've already looked up the show "Working" and "Ragtime", but my teacher things that they are too slow. Can anyone help me out? I'd love you forever.

"I Hope I Get It" from A Chorus Line. Best I can do.

Hmm.. "All the Livelong Day" from Working is actually pretty up tempo. Although it's an ensemble number. I don't know if you need a solo.

"The Company Way" from How to Succeed.

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

Really, you have the whole score from Working to choose from. Some favorites:

Millworker, Brother Trucker, or Traffic Jam by James Taylor
Just a Housewife by Craig Carnelia
Fathers & Sons by Stephen Schwartz

There's also the two new songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda out there somewhere that he wrote for the Old Globe production in 2009.

i love It's an Art from Working

"Contentment, it seems, simply happens. It appears accompanied by no bravos and no tears."
