If you asked me a month ago it would have been:
"It Sucks To Be Me" not anymore so i am not sure.
Hopefully it would not be Everything Is Only For Now.
I thought about it:
I'm 30 Years Old- (Gerard's version of Tommorrow)
Glosse Fosse Them
Purpose
I Hate Ben
I AM Chita and not Rita
Gimmee Gimmee (Gerards version)
You Can't Stop My Seat
I Used To Be The King
I Want To Be A Producer
Short People Have No Reason To Live
Dreamgirls
Fantasies Do Come True!

The Stud/Babe song from LPC.
"He Called Me" from LPC.
"Wishing you were somehow here again" (only, not in relation to my dad)
"Painting Her Portrait" from Jane Eyre
and "B*tch" by Meredith Brooks
followed by an amazing rendition of "New York, New York" performed by Frank Sinatra, and "Stupid" and "Full of Grace" by Sarah McLachlan...the musical would end with the final notes of Sarah McLachlan's "Last Dance"
Plince! Plince! Nein! T-Rex!!

Wait, so I don't get to pick a cast of characters??? That's not cool... I might just have to do that anyway.. This requires too much thought though... I think I have to go away, figure this out and get back to you.
Thank you for giving me something to entertain myself.... cause I'm bored out of my freaking mind right now lol

Avenue Q pretty much sums up my life. 
But if I had to assemble songs from a whole list of musicals, my song list would look something like this:
"It Sucks to be Me" - Avenue Q
"Purpose" - Avenue Q
"There's A Fine, Fine Line" - Avenue Q
"You Can't Stop the Beat" - Hairspray
"On My Own" - Les Miz
"Role of a Lifetime" - Bare
"Are You There" - Bare
"Being Alive" - Company
"The Last Night of the World" - Miss Saigon
"Losing My Mind" - Follies
"Maybe This Time" - Cabaret
"Elaborate Lives" - Aida
"Where Is Love" - Oliver

Posted: 7/20/04 at 10:04pmDunno about the complete score, but certainly "Mr Cellophane" and "The Roads You Never Take" (from Follies) would seem appropriate. Actually, almost anything from Follies would seem appropriate. :)

Broadway Baby...
Defying Gravity...
And anything else that has to do with having big dreams. And then, a lot more. Ugh, this is too hard for me.
*Looks up* Wow, all of the songs I was thinking are posted by broadwaystar2b... thats ccrrazzyy.
What is Broadway? A street? Some say it's a street. Some say it is the best street in the world. Others think its terrible. That's the beauty of it, it's terribly beautiful. Some hate it and don't know why. Others love it and don't know why. That's what makes it so wonderful, it's a mystery.

"Purpose"- Avenue Q
"La Vie Boheme"- Rent
"On My Own"- Les Miserables, but who doesn't need this song at one time?
"Climbing Uphill"- L5Y
"Bring On the Men"- Jekyll and Hyde
"Who I Am"- Jekyll and Hyde
"A Lot of Livin' to Do"- Bye Bye Birdie
"O Suave Fancuilla"- La Boheme, although it doesn't really fit. Still, it would be awesome to have that and "Quando Men Vo" in there.
"Little Spaceman"- Convenience, another one of those "everybody should have this one" type songs
Wow, this was harder than it looks. I may post more later...
