Day Two - I think it kind of counts because it's a musical essentially.

https://youtu.be/1f7pSMyxvTY

It's That Time of Year - Anna and the Apocalypse.

If not, this is just perfect.

Bad Idea - Waitress. The soaring crescendo, the thrilling harmonies with the trills. Listen to it far too often.

Definitely - have seen it 4 times now I think and it works really well...quite gritty but definitely worth seeing.

There are a few local am/dram productions now too so worth keeping an eye out for

Ooo this is such a good one!

I'm going to go with something new (although there are so many I could choose - Wicked's As Long As You're Mine is lush) and say

Moulin Rouge's Elephant Love Medley. Any medley that can incorporate Regina Spektor is a beaut.

Oh I tend to forget how much I like Moulin Rouge until I catch it on telly. I've never seen the stage show so only know the film version, which is a shame (no Regina Spektor!)
