When I think of show tunes, Cabaret rises to the top.

When I was 15 my Dad took me to the Casa Manana in Ft Worth for a stage production of Showboat...this tune has stayed in my head ever since....

See if you can find Liza in the " Mein Herr" scene from Cabaret 1972. Her performance in that scene and the message delivered to Mein Herr was classic.

44hunter45, elkduds, noharleyyet-----Thank you Gentlemen !!! You opened up the floodgates of memories. I loved the theatre and my husband was kind enough to take me often. I not only remember those times fondly, but many of the songs that have the "ear worm" effect on me for sure.

Send in the clowns, from the play A little Night music ( or Sammy Davis Jr singing it ) always makes me smile--and--the message in that song is true, as nine times out of ten,--"dont bother, they are already here" is so true.

others off the top of my head that have the ear worm (and heart) effect on me are

Old Man River. but not from the play. we took a riverboat trip up the Mississippi and they had a band and the singer had a beautiful deep bass voice

"The Impossible Dream" and "You will never walk Alone" are from different broadway plays, but I have them both on the broadway music play list my granddaughter made for me. Several of the songs in My Fair Lady, Fiddler on the Roof, Evita, South Pacific, Hello Dolly ------

This one might get me banned form the music thread but I always liked "The Age of Aquarius' 5th dimension --- the play "Hair" which was interesting in of itself

Please excuse the long post, blame the aforementioned three gentlemen

Modern American composer Aaron Copeland (Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid, Rodeo, Fanfare for the Common Man, etc) had great respect for William Warfield. He chose Warfield to sing on his recording of "Old American Songs". It is medley of his arrangements of American folk songs which he recorded in 1963. You can still get it on his "Copeland conducts Copeland" CD.

Good stuff, thanks for that.

April, one reason I'm so fond of Cabaret is that I played and sang the part of Ernst Ludwig the suave Nazi ('Tomorrow Belongs To Me") in the 1985 production of Cabaret @ the Crested Butte Mountain Theater. And had the time of my life. Our little theater had one dressing room, so that's where I was for all the costume changes by the Kit Kat girls, "Suuuuure, let me help you out of that gorilla costume." Quite the introduction to musical theater for my young self.

Thanks for sharing, my granddaughter is on it !

And Ken thanks for the post that started this conversation. I agree, nobody sings that song better than Warfield !

Thank you for posting Mein Herr. Besides the song and voice, her ability to do some of the physical things she accomplished on that chair was impressive , to me anyway.

AND---thank you for sharing your theater years with us, very impressive. Those are some very impressive plays that you performed in, congratulations.

AND--I have to ask, which part did you play in --Play it again, Sam ?

Brad Pitt started out with a small part in Thelma and Louise and then had a few other parts offered to him----you should have stayed in the business as those are all great plays that you when in. Anyway thats for sharing

Mine ( earhole favorites ) are connected to a "time and place " But, admittedly I seem to like stuff from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's the best.

O.K. I will bore you fellows no more, but first give me "one for my baby and one more for the road"

P.S. Back to "Cabaret" ----the lyrics in that song are so true, everyone should listen to them "cradle to tomb is not that long of stay" --"Life is a Cabaret old chum-come hear the music play" Thank you Elkduds !!!!

Our youngest daughter had her boyfriend cancel on a concert last night due to work things so I tagged along as sort of a "bodyguard". The only things in my ears right now seem to be ringing the same tune!
