Hello all… hope you’re all well. We’ve been hard at work (no, really) working on song options for TLCC Orlando 2023. We’re thinking about adding a bit of a musicals element this time around and wanted to get your suggestions. The general caveats are that they need to be able to be done with pretty standard, rock band instrumentation (not a full orchestra or heavy programming) and we need to be able to do them (well) with very little rehearsal and be well known enough, or catchy enough for our audience to love. For a general feel, a few of the songs we’ve short-listed are: - Out Tonight/Seasons of Love – Rent- Origins of Love/Tear Me Down – Hedwig and the Angry Inch- Ease On Down the Road – The Wiz- Land of Lola – Kinky Boots What songs do you think we should consider? Drop a comment below. Links to a favourite version are most welcome.
"Road to Hell" from Hadestown Henry Arroyo you know you want to!
"Don't Lose Your Head" from Six
"You Can't Stop the Beat" from Hairspray
"You're the one that I want" -- Grease (or "Summer Nights" or "We Go Together"?)
"Make Me Stronger" from Memphis
Are juke box musicals in bounds? Or looking for songs more "broadway" in style? These might be cheating a bit but some fun stuff in there...
There are several from Jersey Boys, "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Sherry", "Walk Like a Man," "My Boyfriend's Back"
Same with Smokey Joe's Cafe, Mamma Mia! and Rock of Ages.
I think we want songs which are 'known from musicals' as opposed to songs which happen to be in musicals... we want to do something a bit different. I mean, we might decide none of this works at all, but it is worth trying :)
