When I have my big gay wedding I would love them to play "I will Never Leave you" from "Side Show" and "Ill Cover You reprise" from "Rent". Yes I know both songs are a tad out of context but both make my heart skip a beat. I do wish my future husband goes for this, Ill let you know when I finally meet him.
A very touching use of a song (not written for a wedding scene) but a gay couple sued "Look Over There" from LA CAGE AUX FOLLES: "...somebody loves you more."
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks." Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
