Next up:
Unlike the first song challenge (below), I'm not going to do an all-RENT edition. There are two more of these, which I may or may not get to (perhaps just so I can squeeze in Sweeney Todd and Little Shop of Horrors, which I didn't manage here. Or Mack the Knife.).
Day 1 - A song that you love to belt in your shower Cheating on Day 1, but: really any Linda Eder. Most often: Man of la Mancha/Bring on the Men/Impossible Dream are best. (Man of La Mancha & Jeckyll & Hyde respectively. Although I think Bring on the Men was cut from the original?)
Day 2 - A song with a color in the title: I'm Black/Ain't Got No - Hair (I think this one is the best version):
Day 3 - A song from a Disney musical: Disney shows aren't generally my thing, but I do like Aida: Elaborate Lives (reprise)
Day 4 - A song from a Tony-winning show you love: The Miller's Son - A Little Night Music (most versions are good, but I particularly like this one)
Day 5 - A song that boosts your confidence: Buenos Aires - Evita
Day 6 - A song that you've auditioned with: Maybe this time - Cabaret. I actually don't remember anything I ever used to audition. But I sang this one for theater class, so close enough.
Day 7 - A song that you love to sing at karaoke: Election of 1800. Hamiltunes counts as karaoke, right?
Day 8 - A song that reminds you of summer: Too Darn Hot - Kiss Me Kate. Is there another answer?
Day 9 - A song with a number in the title: One Song Glory - RENT (although One also works)
Day 10 - A song that makes you cry: Momma Look Sharp - 1776
Day 11 - A song that's an 11 o'clock number: Lot's Wife - Caroline or Change. Here, marvel (I do wonder if she had to have vocal surgery after this role):
Day 12 - A song from the year you were born: Well, La Cage is really the right answer here, but I don't know it well, so: I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General - Pirates
Day 13 - A song from a show you think closed to soon: The Saddest Song - Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson. Ah the perils of opening during the recession.
Day 14 - A song with a person's name in the title: Ballad of Guiteau - Assassins (or Marat/Sade)
Day 15 - A song you've performed for an audience: Turn Back O Man - Godspell
Day 16 - A song you'd want played at your wedding: I'm not that much of a theater nerd, but let's go with Getting Married Today - Company. ;) (Marry Me a Little would also work! Or here, have Aaron Tveit singing it when he had JUST RECOVERED FROM COVID)
Day 17 - A song with a dance break: Anything Goes. I love this dance so much. (Jonathan Groff did it too!)
Day 18 - A song that's about falling in love: What More Can I Say? - Falsettos
Day 19 - A song sung by two or more people: The Ballad of Sara Berry - 35mm: A Musical Exhibition
Day 20 - A song that reminds you of your childhood: Macavity - Cats. I was SO JEALOUS when my parents went to see this without me. I was about 4? I listened to the record a lot.
Day 21 - A song by an artist whose voice you love: Stars and the Moon - Songs for a New World
Day 22 - A song about a broken heart: Once in a While - Rocky Horror. Bet you weren't expecting that, were you?
Day 23 - A song from a musical that's never been on Broadway: Tell Me Where it Hurts - The Unfortunates. One of my all-time favorite musicals. I wish it got at least an off-broadway run. Of course, currently, the more appropriate song is Quarantine. (Not on youtube! But buy the album on iTunes or something - it's great.)
Day 24 - A song that you love to play on road trips: Notes/Prima Donna - Phantom. True story: on road trips to the Lair, my dad always played the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack and the London original cast recording of Phantom.
Day 25 - A song that relaxes you: I don't know what this means. I'm not sure I listen to any relaxing musical theater songs. But let's go with Midnight Radio - Hedwig. (Here, have Lena Hall doing it acoustic)
Day 26 - A song from a musical that's had a revival: All That Jazz - Chicago
Day 27 - A song from a jukebox musical: 1650 Broadway Medley - Beautiful. I'm generally not a fan of jukebox musicals, but this mashup is probably the cleverest use.
Day 28 - A song from a musical set in New York City: Could I Leave You? - Follies
Day 29 - A song from your dream role: Last of the American Girls/She's a Rebel - American Idiot (Whatsername gets all the best songs: Letterbomb, Boulevard, 21 guns)
Day 30 - A song that reminds you why you love broadway: Really, my first thought here was Another Op'nin' Another Show (here, have Christian Borle singing it. Actually, speaking of Christian Borle, A Musical from Something Rotten would fit this one as well), but since I've already used Kiss Me Kate, let's go with There's No Business like Show Business - Annie Get Your Gun
