Upbeat Bway Showtunes#0

I need a list of at least 15 songs from various shows that are upbeat, for example, "My Strongest Suit" from AIDA and "You Can't Stop The Beat" from HAIRSPRAY.

Thanks for the help in advance!

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

1) We Can Do It - The Producers
2) The Morning Report - The Lion King
3) Put On Your Sunday Clothes - Hello Dolly
4) Master of the House - Les Miserables
5) Popular - Wicked

The above are some of my favorites.

My perfect day would begin at on the beach in Hana, Maui and end at a Broadway Musical.

"Let's Hear it for the Boy"- Footloose
"24 hours" - Best Little whorehouse in texas
"Holding Out for a Hero" - footloose
"Rent" - Rent
"Simon's Song" (Christ You know I Love You) - Jesus Christ superstar
"Shipoopi" - Music Man
"We Go Together" - Grease
"Ease on Down the Road" -The Wiz
"Everybody Rejoice" (Brand New Day) - The Wiz
"Move" - Dream Girls
"Little shop of Horrors" -film version
"It's the Hard Knock Life" -old film version

I could think of zillions but I'm kind unsure on the theme of your mix tape. I make thousands of mix tapes ranging from Best Belting, Best song songs, best male songs, best female songs, most upbeat songs...etc...have fun!

"There's No Business Like Show Business" (from Annie Get Your Gun)

"I Enjoy Being A Girl" (From Flower Drum Song)

"I Can Cook Too" (Don't know what show it's from, but I love the way Leah Delaria sings it on Leading Ladies)

"Be Our Guest" (from Beauty and the Beast)

"Dancing Queen" (from Mamma Mia)

Need them for a cast party, I will be running the tech booth (even though I am by no means a Techie, merely the only one who apparently knows how to operate a CD player).

Thanks for the suggestions! Downloading...err, retrieving now.

You should er retrieve all the dance mixes of Broadway songs--the group who does most of them is Harajuku. You can also try looking up recent shows and songs with the key word "mix" or "remix" and see what comes up. Also: Ethel Merman's disco songs. =)
