can you name a song about time? WE DECIDED ON A SONG!!

[shermanslave]

Hi guys. I am producing my partner's cabaret and we need a suggestion from all you musical theater whizzes. We are opening with the "Life of the Party" from The Wild Party (Lippa) but we want to end the show with a song that is about time or time being up. Something like that. NOT "The Party's Over". That just seems to cliche'. Can anyone thing of a good song from a show or a standard that will end our cabaret that has something to do with time being up?? We are stuck!

thanks, y'all.

Well... there's a song called "Time" asking where time went... but it's not from a musical...

[Sumofallthings]

All The Wasted Time from Parade

[shermanslave]

Sum, we thought about it, but we don't think it's going to work for our show. Keep on thinking everyone! I know someone can think of the perfect song for us.

[CATSNYrevival]

"Somewhere in Time" from EFX. it's all that I can think of right now...

[Elizabeth_DeBris]

Uh... this is pathetic: the only one I can think of is Time Warp.

[Sumofallthings]

Coffee in a Cardboard Cup, not because it has anything to do with time but just cause I love that song.

[shermanslave]

what is EFX? Time warp! Funny. This is like a game.

[TheatreDiva612]

Seasons of Love from Rent or Cages or Wings from Tick Tick Boom maybe.

[shermanslave]

Coffe In a Cardboard Cup was in the show but it got cut. Now you will all have to come see the show, right?

[Thenardier]

I don't think it fits, but I just got Alix Korey's CD and this thread made me think of a song she sings from Portrait of Jeannie called Remember Today.

[Elizabeth_DeBris]

The Best of Times?

[shermanslave]

we are thinking about doing When It Ends from the other Wild Party. It would be a little inside joke that the show starts with one Wild Party and ends with another Wild Party. You know the song that Eartha Kitt sings? the key is weird but it can be transposed.

[Sumofallthings]

I don't think that would be an appropriate choice to end a show with though. Love that song however.

[CATSNYrevival]

EFX is the special effects musical that played in Vegas first with Michael Crawford then David Cassidy and Tommy Tune and Rick Springfild. Anyway, "Somewhere in Time" was in the Michael Crawford version and it was just a really beautiful song that was pre-recorded and played prior to the show when everyone was taking their seats. it talks about time being a circle and how the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning... it's just a perdy song...

[romanov]

The song that you need to check out is called "Everytime We Say Goodbye" by Cole Porter. It's exactly what you are looking for.

[Sumofallthings]

"No More" from Into the Woods maybe?

[Thenardier]

I agree, sum.

Love that song but I don' think it's great to end the show. I still like my idea, which has a similar tone as When It Ends - but not the same meaning.

[Elphaba]

all I can think of is Racing with the Clock from pajama Game......

[shermanslave]

romanov! we may have a winner. we have that sheet music and are looking at it right now. on a sidenote, did you know that The laChuisa Wild Party is out of print. Damn! I never bought it and I love it.

[shermanslave]

Pajama Game I do not know. But you guys are great! I just love that we posted this question about 15 minutes and we have all these suggestions.

[GirlforTartaglia]

What about "The Next Ten Minutes" from The Last 5 Years, or "Moving Too Fast" from the same score?

[CATSNYrevival]

is it really out of print? sadness!!! I cherish my copy...

[Thenardier]

shermanslave, I know how you could probably get it...or at least certain songs.

Best of Times from La Cage
