What Broadway song describes a situation in your life/your life in general?

Posted: 6/30/09 at 11:42pm

Are there broadway songs that would describe a situation going on in your life or what's happening with your life now? Or even a song that just describes your life in general?


Mine would be:


On My Own- Les Miserables

Nobody's Side- Chess

Lizzie, this may be because it's 5AM and I haven't gone to bed yet, but your response made me laugh out loud for a good 2 minutes.

Gavin Creel's yet to be released song, 'Hot Ohio', is pretty much about my place in life right now. If you're not familiar with the song, it is basically about wanting to get away from the place you're living in... even thought the place you live in is not so bad.

My other song would be 'Breathe' from in the Heights. I am not dropping out of school, but I can currently relate to it for other reasons.

"What Do You Do With a BA in English" should be my theme song, swiftly followed by "Die Vampire Die" from [tos]. Lately I seem ruled by my anxiety and fear of just about everything outside my immediate comfort zone.

"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim
