I'm working on a Summer playlist of showtunes. Wanted to get some suggestions. Have a lot of ideas but wanted to see what everyone can come up with, too. Happy Summer everyone!

Do you mean songs just about summer? Or like, upbeat summertime feel to the songs?

Songs about the Summer or with a Summer feel/setting.

"A Summer In Ohio" (The Last 5 Years)

I know this isn't a showtune suggestion, but you could make a "Donna Summer Summer Mix." It could start off with "Summer Fever" from "Four Seasons of Love."
