Iv'e been listening to TMM lately, and my favorite song there by far is Gimme Gimme, it has something special that I really like, and it builds itself brilliantly as the songs progresses.
I started to look for songs that are alike to this one , and thought I could ask you for some advice.
Thanks!

I like Jeanine Tesori's work alot,
but GIMME GIMME, to me, is not a song,
just a vamp that keeps changing key.

"just a vamp that keeps changing key."
That's how I'd describe "The American Dream" from "Miss Saigon." Funny, you came up with the perfect wording to describe that for me.
But I don't think "Gimme Gimme" is like that at all. I really like that one.

Sort of theatrekid, A lot of Kander and Ebb is vamp-based, like Razzle Dazzle, but they also have some melody thrown in.
MCfan2, I know many prople like GIMME GIMME, becuase it's infectous and Sutton knocks it out of the park.
But where is the melody?
And I agree AMERICAN DREAM is in that same vein.
