Hi guys. I am producing my partner's cabaret and we need a suggestion from all you musical theater whizzes. We are opening with the "Life of the Party" from The Wild Party (Lippa) but we want to end the show with a song that is about time or time being up. Something like that. NOT "The Party's Over". That just seems to cliche'. Can anyone thing of a good song from a show or a standard that will end our cabaret that has something to do with time being up?? We are stuck!
thanks, y'all.
info about our cabaret

Posted: 5/23/05 at 6:19pmWell... there's a song called "Time" asking where time went... but it's not from a musical...

Posted: 5/23/05 at 6:23pmSum, we thought about it, but we don't think it's going to work for our show. Keep on thinking everyone! I know someone can think of the perfect song for us.

Posted: 5/23/05 at 6:24pmUh... this is pathetic: the only one I can think of is Time Warp.

Coffee in a Cardboard Cup, not because it has anything to do with time but just cause I love that song.

Posted: 5/23/05 at 6:25pmwhat is EFX? Time warp! Funny. This is like a game.

Posted: 5/23/05 at 6:27pmSeasons of Love from Rent or Cages or Wings from Tick Tick Boom maybe.

Posted: 5/23/05 at 6:27pmI don't think it fits, but I just got Alix Korey's CD and this thread made me think of a song she sings from Portrait of Jeannie called Remember Today.

Posted: 5/23/05 at 6:30pmwe are thinking about doing When It Ends from the other Wild Party. It would be a little inside joke that the show starts with one Wild Party and ends with another Wild Party. You know the song that Eartha Kitt sings? the key is weird but it can be transposed.
#13re: can you name a song about time?
Posted: 5/23/05 at 6:33pmI don't think that would be an appropriate choice to end a show with though. Love that song however.

Posted: 5/23/05 at 6:34pmEFX is the special effects musical that played in Vegas first with Michael Crawford then David Cassidy and Tommy Tune and Rick Springfild. Anyway, "Somewhere in Time" was in the Michael Crawford version and it was just a really beautiful song that was pre-recorded and played prior to the show when everyone was taking their seats. it talks about time being a circle and how the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning... it's just a perdy song...

Posted: 5/23/05 at 6:34pmThe song that you need to check out is called "Everytime We Say Goodbye" by Cole Porter. It's exactly what you are looking for.
#16re: can you name a song about time?
Posted: 5/23/05 at 6:35pm"No More" from Into the Woods maybe?

I agree, sum.
Love that song but I don' think it's great to end the show. I still like my idea, which has a similar tone as When It Ends - but not the same meaning.
