There are so many, but for some reason, I can't think of any. Except for, of course, Jennifer Holliday's "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." Sounds like a fantastic idea for a mix though.

A song you can add in May is the "Diva's Lament" from Spamalot..perfect for a diva! :) "whatever happened to my part" *throw a hissy fit*

She is on the list. "Tell Me" from MARIE CHRISTINE.

O, what about "Last Midnight"?
Great list, MEF!

[lovettespies]

Posted: 3/27/05 at 7:15pm

How about some Side Show under the duets? "who will love me as I am" maybe.

[Elizabeth_DeBris]

Posted: 3/27/05 at 7:21pm

Oh, and maybe Sooner or Later (Dick Tracy), That Dirty Old Man (...Forum), Adelaide's Lament (Guys and Dolls)? Not sure if those qualify as "diva," but...

[zoran912]

Posted: 3/27/05 at 7:21pm

Wow. Lovette read my mind. We need some Emily and Alice on this thing.

[HeyMrMusic]

Posted: 3/27/05 at 9:14pm

O yes definitely. I agree.

I can't believe I almost forgot With One Look!!

[HeyMrMusic]

Posted: 3/27/05 at 9:23pm

More to consider:
"Easy as Life"
"Cabaret"
"Glitter and Be Gay"
"Memory"
"I'd Give My Life for You"
"It's a Privilege to Pee"
"Someone Like You" and/or "A New Life"

What about The Wild Party? Would "Lowdown Down" and "When It Ends" be considered "Broadway diva songs"? Hm...
