Defying Gravity! It's such an inspirational and powerful song, but I catch crap for singing it so much, cuz I'm a guy.
Shadowland! Also, an incredible song, but I'd need to be black as well.

Hey flirt,
I think you are referring to "Could I leave You?" from Follies. It is sung by a late-middle ager.

Posted: 9/11/05 at 2:58am"Memory" although, don't you think this could be sung by a guy? Its not gender specific at all, except that is a rather famous song. Also, "Movie in my Mind" and "The Light in the Piazza" and of course "Defying Gravity" and "Wizard and I."

Posted: 9/11/05 at 4:49amI can't believe I forgot to mention "Out Tonight." The many karaoke patrons who've witnessed my drunken rendition would be upset if they knew I forgot it.

Kristin Chenoweth could barely control a Great Dane she trotted onto the stage. "Great, they gave me a dog that weighs five times what I do", she quipped. For the record, she weighs 93 pounds, and has a Maltese.

Giants in the Sky.
i actually sent a text to my friend lindsay just yesterday "id have a sex change to sing giants"
how ironic that this thread would show up lol
"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living
piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character
and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and
incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness.
Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish
it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a
rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the
real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get
along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small
unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings.
Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end.
But end it does. Another part of you vanishes.
That's show business."-Anonymous

-This is the Moment and cConfrontation from Jekyll and Hyde
Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky. With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high! Blood-red were the spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat, when they shot him down on the highway, down like a dog on the highway, and he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat...

I was surprised it took so long for someone to mention "Maria" -- thank you, wherethehorizonlies! I'd cut off parts of my anatomy to sing:
West Side Story - Maria, Jet Song
Les Miserables - any of Javert's songs/parts
Chess - Anthem, Pity the Child, Where I Want to be
The Frogs - Ariadne
Bat Boy - Let Me Walk Among You, Apology to a Cow, I Imagine You're Upset, Children, Children, and the doctor's part of Comfort and Joy...not that I'm obsessed or anything
Pippin - Corner of the Sky
Assassins - all of the Balladeer's parts
Closer Than Ever - What Am I Doin'
Not that I've thought about this....!
But if you kiss me,
If we touch,
Warning's fair:
I don't care
Very much
