Hi! I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a few really good musical theatre **songs**. I'm trying to find some new musicals to listen to (preferrably modern, but as I said before, as long as it's really good...) besides the staple ones that everybody listens to. I'd appreciate if you would give me what you think is the best song and what musical it's from - but not just the muscial. Please. :^)
Here are ones I'm already familar with, just to save you the trouble:
Wicked; Les Miserables; RENT; Phantom of the Opera; Fiddler on the Roof; Grease; Footloose; Seussical; Avenue Q; Hairspray; Little Shope of Horrors; Spring Awakening; You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown; Legally Blonde; Kiss Me, Kate; Once on this Island; Mary Poppins; and Sound of Music.
And I DO NOT want to hear about High School Musical. I'm not saying it's bad, but I'm not particularly fond of it, either. ;^)
Thanks you so much!

Pretty much anything from
Godspell - has some really great fun songs,
Rent -of course(i know you alredy said it but it's so good)
Annie- has some amazing songs, really fun
Music Man- Some great songs (not very modern)
Cabaret is my favourite musical, by far. Check out the soundtrack.
I love the music from jekyll and hyde -someone like you is a perfect love song, Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat was pretty good- any dream will do. Jesus Christ Superstar- I don't know how to love him ( i sang this in high school). My friends really enjoy Sondheim I'm not a huge fan of his but Sunday in the park with George, and Into the woods are pretty good shows too. Have fun!
Funny Honey or When Your Good to Mama - from Chicago
The Love of My Life - Brigadoon
Wash That Man Right Outta' My hair - South Pacific
I Cain't Say No - Oklahoma
Dance Ten, Looks Three - A Chorus Line
Som,e of my favorites. These can really be spiced up and let your creativity shine through in an audition.
