Consider Yourself – Oliver ‘68

Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself part of the family
I’ve taken to you so strong
It’s clear we’re going to get along
If it should chance to be
We should see some harder days
Empty larder days. Why grouse?
Always a chance we’ll meet
Somebody to foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house!
Consider yourself our mate
We don’t want to have no fuss
For after some consideration, we can state
Consider yourself one of us!

Over the Rainbow – Wizard of Oz ‘68-‘69

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow

Almost Like Being in Love – Brigadoon ’70

What a day this has been!
What a rare mood I’m in
Why, it’s almost like being in love
There’s a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why, it’s almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peal
I could swear I was falling
I would swear I was falling
It’s almost like being in love

Big Spender – Sweet Charity ‘71

The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction
A real big spender
Good lookin’, so refined

So, let me get right to the point
I don’t pop my cork for every guy I see
Hey, big spender
Spend a little time with me

Oklahoma – Oklahoma ’72

Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain
And the wavin’ wheat, can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain
Oklahoma, ev’ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk, and watch a hawk
Makin’ lazy circles in the sky
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand
And when we say
Yeeow A-yip-i-o-e-ay
We’re only sayin’
You’re doin’ fine, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, O.K

Some Enchanted Evening – South Pacific ’73

Some enchanted evening
You may see a stranger
You may see a stranger across a crowded room
And somehow you know
You’ll know even then
That somewhere you’ll see her, again and again
Some enchanted evening
When you find your true love
When you feel her call you across a crowded room
Then fly to her side
And make her your own
For, all through your life, you may dream all alone
Once you have found her, never let her go
Once you have found her, never let her go

The Impossible Dream – Man of La Mancha ’75

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star!

A Bushel and a Peck – Guys & Dolls ’76

I love you bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck
Hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap
Barrel and a heap and I’m talkin’ in my sleep
About you, About you
‘Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your pretty neck I do
Doodle-oodle-oodle
Doodle-oodle-oodle
Doodle-oodle-oodle doo 

If I Loved You – Carousel ’77

If I loved you time and again I would try to say
All I’d want you to know
If I loved you words wouldn’t come in an easy way
Round in circles I’d go!
Longin’ to tell you but afraid and shy
I’d let my golden chances pass me by!
Soon you’d leave me
Off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I loved you
If I loved you

Mame – Mame ‘78

You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame

Your special fascination’ll prove to be inspirational
I think you’re just sensational, Mame

Day by Day – Godspell ‘79

Day by day, day by day
Oh Dear Lord

To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly, day by day
Day by day, by day by day by day

There’s No Business Like Show Business – Annie Get Your Gun ’80

There’s no business like show business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything that traffic will allow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling
When you are stealing that extra bow
There’s no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Yesterday they told you, you would not go far
That night you open and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they’ve hung a star
Let’s go on with the show!

Another Op’nin’, Another Show – Kiss Me, Kate ’81

Another op’nin’, another show
In Philly, Boston or Baltimoe
A chance for stagefolks to say “hello”
Another op’nin’, another show

Four weeks, you rehearse and rehearse
Three weeks and it couldn’t be worse
One week, will it ever be right?
Then out of the hat, it’s that big first night!
The overture is about to start
You cross your fingers and hold your heart
It’s curtain time and away we go
Another op’nin’, another show

For mortals who stand beside an angel like you

Do-Re-Mi – Sound of Music ’83

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself

Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do

Till There Was You – Music Man ’84

There were bells on the hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all

And there were wonderful roses
They tell me
In sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Matchmaker – Fiddler on the Roof ’85

Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match
Find me a find, catch me a catch
Matchmaker, matchmaker, look through your book
And make me a perfect match
For Papa, make him a scholar
For Mama, make him rich as a king
For me, well, I wouldn’t holler
If he were as handsome as anything
Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match
Find me a find, catch me a catch
Night after night in the dark I’m alone
So strike me match of my own

Give My Regards to Broadway – George M. ’86

Give my regards to Broadway

To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old broadway
And say that I’ll be there ere long

If Ever I Would Leave You – Camelot ’87

If ever I would leave you, it wouldn’t be in summer
Seeing you in summer, I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight, your lips red as flame
Your face with a luster that puts gold to shame
If ever I would leave you, how could it be in springtime
Knowing how in spring I’m bewitched by you so
Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall
No never could I leave you at all

I Could Have Danced All Night – My Fair Lady ‘89

I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings

Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced all night

Things I’m learning about you

The hours go so slowly
And still the sky is light
O moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night tonight!

Comedy Tonight – Forum ‘99

Something familiar, something peculiar
Something for everyone—a comedy tonight!

Nothing portentous or polite
Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!

Don’t Cry for Me Agentina – Evita ‘01

Don’t cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days

But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true 

This Is the Moment – Jekyll & Hyde ’03

And all that jazz

The Ballad of Sweeney Todd – Sweeney Todd ’13

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd. His skin was pale and his eye was odd
He shaved the faces of gentlemen Who never thereafter were heard of again. 

He trod a path that few have trod, Did Sweeney Todd.

He kept a shop in London Town of fancy clients and good renown
And what if none of their souls were saved?
They went to their maker impeccably shaved By Sweeney, by Sweeney Todd,
The demon barber of Fleet Street.

I dreamed a dream in time gone by

With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing

You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen

When I Grow Up – Matilda ’19

When I grow up I will be tall enough to reach the branches
That I need to reach to climb the trees
You get to climb when you’re grown up
And when I grow up I will be smart enough to answer all
The questions that you need to know the answers to before you’re grown up
And when I grow up I will eat sweets everyday
On the way to work and I will go to bed late every night
And I will wake up
When the sun comes up and I will watch cartoons until my eyes go square
And I won’t care ’cause I’ll be all grown up
When I grow up 

Any Dream Will Do – Joseph ’21

I closed my eyes drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew
Far far away someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping any dream will do
A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness I was left alone
May I return to the beginning
The light is dimming and the dream is too
The world and I we are still waiting
Still hesitating any dream will do

and bring me home… at last!

Let It Go – Frozen ‘26

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight,
Not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I’m the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside.
Couldn’t keep it in, Heaven knows I tried.
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see;
Be the good girl you always have to be.
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know.
Well, now they know.
Let it go, let it go;
Can’t hold it back anymore.
Let it go, let it go;
Turn away and slam the door.
I don’t care what they’re going to say;
Let the storm rage on.
The cold never bothered me anyway.
