Best Song: THE WHOLE SCORE IS AMAZING (this show has SOOO many good recurring melodies and the songs are kickass but really hard to sing)
If I had to pick favorites they would be the first number…. Judas’s “Heaven on Their Minds” which has a great vamp, melody, and lyrics. But it would HAVE to tie with “Superstar” which would be THE BEST FINALE EVER (if there wasn’t the crucifixion scene after it which IMO should be cut from the show. We all know it happens - there’s no point in that scene. Superstar is a perfect way to end the show IMO but I respect ALW and Tim Rice on this.)
Worst Song: Gotta go with Peter’s Denial just because it contains these lyrics :
Mary: Peter, don’t u know what you have said? You’ve gone and cut him dead
Peter: I had to do it, don’t you see? Or else they’d go for me….
That is some super basic stuff but Tim Rice usually kicks ass and so that is easily forgiven
This is one of my favorite shows and definitely one of my favorite scores.
Musical theater songs have the best names they are so random like in Carousel “That Was a Real Nice Clambake” like wtf omg
but my personal favorite is “And The Money Kept Rolling In” from Evita I think we can all appreciate that song title
Rent
(I have not heard everything from rent and I have not seen the show so forgive me)
Best Part of the Whole Show: when they sing ” HOW U GONNA PAY THE REEEEENT”
Worst: that “October” song that someone made me listen to one time- it sounded like it had no tune I dunno I was very underwhelmed
hey nessa listen nessa i've got something to confessa schwartz will live forever
he will yes
Wicked
Favorite Song: “No Good Deed” (it’s pretty much the only solo from yhe show that hasn’t been sung to death and its actually where she turns into the “wicked” witch. The music does a REALLY good job of portraying the elphaba’s frenetic hopelessness and the claustrophobia of being “good”)
Least Favorite Song: I can’t decide but “What is this Feeling?”is really annoying. I can’t fault A Sentimental Man cuz it’s only a minute long and Something Bad isn’t too bad either it has the goat…hmm I dunno
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I only ask because it's popped up in my dreams lately
okay!
Favorite song: Sobbin’ Women (it is a cleverly written misunderstanding and its a great Act One Finale. It also contains the best line from the show “BUT SECRETLY THEY WAS OVERJOYED”)
Least Favorite Song: The Townsfolk’s Lament (the suitors sing this after the chase and it is so dumb and annoying, the song keeps stopping and they are like “BEAT THEM UP” and then the song starts again… So annoying)
once again inbox me a musical and I will tell u my favorite and least favorite song come on KIDS
