It's Showtune Week!
 

Stephenie and Dayna are going to have a ball with this one.

ironically i just bought tickets to go see Wicked with my mum on mothers day :)

my top five

5.

Hello Dolly 1969 15 19 Barbra Streisand - YouTube

one of my absolute fondest memories of my teen age years was being in a production of Hello Dolly....i was Rudolph the waiter and it was my first roll in what became four years of musicals.....this part was an absolute blast

4.

grease - summer nights - YouTube
again i spent the entire summer of 1992 doing a production of Grease....i landed the role of Kenickie on sheer attitude during my audition

3.

Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) (2HQ) Heaven On Their Minds (((Stereo))) {HQ} (Repost) - YouTube
oh memories i sang this when i auditioned for the Sound of Music....needless to say i go a non singing role and played Franz the nazi butler!.....still such an awesome song

2.

Little Shop of Horrors - Dentist Song - YouTube
i begged my drama teacher to do Little Shop Of Horrors my senior year just so i could land this part and sing this song.....she told me she would never do this....two years later she did.....i went every night :)

1.

'The Hills are Alive' - The Sound of Music - YouTube
actually i would vote for every song in The Sound Of Music.....seriously this film is perfect....i watch at least once a year and as i stated above was in a production :).....but this song honestly sums up my attitude towards music in general....and Julie Andrews....i mean what an incredible voice

Oh wow, this is totally my thing. I've been guitar and bass guitar in the pit band for my school's musical theatre group, and also in community theatre groups so I've played a lot of these songs. Here's some of my favourites from recent shows that I've been a part of:

Nicest Kids in Town - Hairspray



You Can't Stop the Beat - Hairspray



Whatever Lola Wants - Damn Yankees



Seasons of Love - RENT



We Go Together - Grease



There's No Business Like Show Business



Life is a Cabaret - Cabaret



Roxie - Chicago

nice choices

i completely forgot about Chess....i saw Chess sometime in the early 90s and it was phenomenal.....in between scenes was an ongoing live chess game with live chess pieces......it was insane

and of course this classic 80s song came from it

One Night in Bangkok (CHESS) Murray Head - YouTube

and i forgot Cats

Cats 18 Magical Mr. Mistoffelees - YouTube

Does Rocky Horror Picture Show count? If so, then

I love, love, love showtunes! I suppose my top five with suffice for now (I'll post my version of the classics), but I'll likely post more videos as I remember all of my favorites. :D



When I think "classy" I think Fred Astaire. And this bit will forever epitomize for me his everlasting awesomeness.



This song sticks with you for days, Ann-Margret is one of the sexiest women I have ever seen. She convinces me that women are people.



Honestly I could post everything from Annie but I went with this one purely because of Tim Curry. ;) As one youtuber so aptly put it: "Only Tim Curry can sexually open an envelope."



Oh god. Oh god oh god oh god oh god. I love this production so much, this song makes my bones dance.



OBVIOUSLY I'm going to post Barbra Streisand. This song is what I think of when I think of showtunes.


EDIT:

Yes, RHPS absolutely counts.
