You sing the high notes, I'll sing the low notes
I love burning mix CD's for myself. But I need your help. I've decided to make a CD of my favorite show tunes. I want songs from Broadway and the movies. As I'm sure you know, I have like a gajillion choices. I know 2 songs for sure. "Popular" by Kristin Chenoweth from Wicked and "The Nicest Kids In Town" by the delicious James Marsen and cast from Hairspray.
Please Help! What are some of your favorite show tunes?
Labels: help me, jazz hands, show stoppers
