Best song I have to learn at least part of for a cabaret performance

'Wilkommen'

Wilkommen
Sit Down
Heart

Unapologetically old guard here.

Surreptitiously replace 'Sit Down' with the song of the same name by James.

"Sit Down" or "Can't Fight This Feeling" i think

How many ppl have heard "Quartet"? It's ridiculously baller IMO (esp. the album version; we're doing the stage version which is longer and doesn't have quite as much counterpoint in it):

preparing virtual slaps for the ppl surreptitiously voting "Prima Donna"

xp Icky poo poo.

my faves so far:

Sit Down
Quartet
Heart
The Song that Goes Like This

it's kind of bad that I hate my big solo, right (Last One Picked)

i like some of Phantom but i can't even remember how "Prima Donna" goes off the top of my head

(full disclosure: the song I've played the most is "My Humps")

"Sit Down" vs "Heart"

the first one really only works with Stubby Kaye's wardrobe, I think

oh god I just realized we are going to have Costume Changes etc and it's likely to be a shitshow

I'm definitely in the "Chess is so bad you guys" camp-- small camp-- but Quartet is the best thing from that musical

Voted "My Humps" because most of all I want to see DJP sing "My Humps"

That hasn't been arranged yet and I have no idea how it's going to come out; I know they're planning on gender-flipping it but that's as far as it's gotten.

random thing I have discovered while idly googling for info about these songs/productions; Gary Burghoff was the original off-Broadway Charlie Brown

voted Wilkommen and just want you to know that I still love most of Phantom of the Opera but will happily skip Prima Donna (what an odd choice)

listening to these songs, I'm coming to the conclusion that "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" and "The Full Monty" are even more unbearable as musicals than I could have possibly imagined

oh did I mention we're doing a "strip tease" to the Full Monty song?

also this is fundraiser for my CHURCH CHOIR

I should clearly go to church more often

wilkommen or quartet.

if someone made me sing i cant fight this feeling i would probably quit

this is the arrangement we're doing btw

I am having private hysterics imagining John singing "I Can't Fight This Feeling" omg

Also I haven't seen that movie - is that Alex Baldwin?!

I will come all the way to Boston if you get to make out with Alec Baldwin, deX

in this performance, I am Alec Baldwin

the dude doing the Russell Brand part is this guy:

sit down

This is my big solo:

I really hate it, partially because the only reason I wasn't a jock in high school was because I chose not to be and I was usually one of the first kids picked for sports that involved running #kickballGOD

I will happily come and sing that because I %^&*ing hated gym class and would not pee on Mr. T@ff3 (evil grade school gym teacher at Pinecrest) if he were on fire to this day

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

disturbing...

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

what the fuck i swear i voted for lime jello marshmallow cottage cheese surprise

I am amazed that "Sit Down" only got one vote

simply jobbed by lack of weighted voting.

thread reminds me of James Woods telling a story to Letterman of having to sing "Both Sides Now" at an audition in his early career, and the next guy said as he left "You are one brave woman."
