:"Pleased with Myself" by Maltby and Shire from "Starting Here, Starting Now"

"Happy Talk" from "South Pacific"

"Telephone Hour" from "Bye Bye Birdie"

[astorian_ofthe_heart]

"Unruly Heart" and "The Lady's Improving" from THE PROM

Basically all of BOOK OF MORMON, but especially "I Believe" and "Hasa Diga Ebowai"

"Hard to be the Bard" from SOMETHING ROTTEN

"Lioness" and "Yellowstone" from MISS YOU LIKE HELL

And there's nothing that can make me feel better more than "What'd I Miss" from HAMILTON. Also pretty much anything from HAMILTON lol.

I always get into a really good mood whenever I hear "Wedding Song" from Hadestown, "I Love the Way" from Something Rotten, "Loneliness of Evening" from Cinderella, "When the Children Are Asleep" from Carousel, and "Love Song" from Pippin.  I guess I'm a sucker for a love duet.

[Dollypop]

The cast albums of HELLO, DOLLY! have been my wake-up music for over 50 years.

This isn't a surprise, but it warms my heart to have you say this.

[Valentina3]

Just about anything from Hello, Dolly! (even 'Rainbows' when Kate Baldwin's singing it)
Into The Woods, opening song
"Legally Blonde Remix" (Kate Shindle for the m-f-ing win!)
"Miss Celie's Pants" from The Color Purple Revival
"Rainbow High", from Evita OBC ("... so Christian Dior me!" UGH. So good!)

And I know this one's weird, but I love listening to "Pink" from War Paint. The whole bridge starting from "When I was a farm girl in Ontario.... Confidante to Presidents & royalties, her generation's ... Or an aging erstwhile juvenile in ... PINK* . It's just such beautiful poetry that even through Ebersole's pain, my heart just soars at the sheer power of those words and that music.
