Those Pesky Songs, You Just Can't Put Down

[Phantom of London]

We all know that theatre fans are obsessive so and guess what? I am no different! What're those songs you have on a loop?

Me Recently:

She Used To Be Mine - Waitress
Wheels of a Dream - Ragtime
Unusual Way - Nine
Unsettled Score -'Whistle Down The Wind
What If - If/Then
I'm Here - The Colour Purple
What You Own - Rent

[charliec]

I've basically had a constant Hamilton loop since October. Usually Say No to This, Guns & Ships or Washington on Your Side!

[Phantom of London]

Come on guys there must be songs you have on repeat, I need some suggestions to listen to.

[d'James]

For me at the moment, Enough from In The Heights by Josie Benson. Raise You Up from Kinky Boots (UK). Glitterboots Saved My Life (Reprise).

Does it have to be showtunes? 'Cos if it does, I'm largely only listening to Hamilton right now, but there have been some great country albums released over the last couple of years that I'm also loving. (I suppose we could compromise with the Bright Star cast recording...)

[Steffi]

Hamilton: My Shot, The Schueler Sisters and The room where it happens.
In the Heights: 96.000 and Blackout.

As for non showtunes, I have to admit the new Justin Timberlake song refuses to get out of my head and has been played a lot lately.

[Phantom of London]

It could be expanded, but then again it's a theatre forum.

I heard a great clip from Bright Star on you tube, shame their cast recording isn't on Spotify.

[talkstageytome]

For me it's
So Much Better - Legally Blonde
Benny's Dispatch - In The Heights
Underground - Memphis
Caint Say No - Oklahoma (since forever, I think this may be the catchiest song ever!)
Tomorrow Belongs To Me (reprise)- Cabaret (unfortunately! D: )
Beautiful - Beautiful

At the moment at least!

Yeah, same here. And that bloody Justin Bieber one.

Actually found myself downloading both of them. Grrr!

Great you love She Used To Be Miine from Waitress, love that and really want to see the show now.

Listened to lots of Webber, but haven't seen or listened to By Jeeves, need to check that one out too.

A couple of votes on here for In The Heights songs, which is great, but for I really love Everything You Own, such a powerful song.

Coloured Women - Memphis London Cast Recording 

Vocal porn.

Strangely I often find 'Wilkes Barre, PA' from 'Tovarich' coming into my head at an alarming frequency.

I'm either insane or Vivien Leigh back from the dead.

[schuttep]

Living in Hell from Saucy Jack & The Space Vixens
Doatsy Mae from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
In One of My Weaker Moments from Budgie - The Musical
We Said We Wouldn't Look Back from Salad Days
Elaborate Lives from Aida
Leaving's Not the Only Way To Go from Big River
One of Those Nights from Metropolis.
