You beat me to it!

😃

I think that I could work up a pretty good list of songs that I could do.

_All That Jazz_ (jazz hands included!)

_Oklahoma_ (OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKlamhoma! Just for the sheer strength of the open word!)

_Don’t Cry For Me Argentina_ (Ditto)

Anything from _Mame_ or _Gypsy_ (If I had the voice, I would so do Mamma Rose)

_Wouldn’t It Be Lovely_ ( I can work up a cockney accent!)

Ooooh, The Pajama Game. I looooove that one.  
“I’m NOT at all in love, NOT at all in love, not me…” or “Hernando’s Hideaway”

How about Grease:  
“Hopelessly devoted to-o you-oooo-oo-oo-ooo”

Or perhaps Guys and Dolls:  
“LUCK be a lady tonight…” (done Sinatra style, of course, he should have gotten the lead, I don’t care how hot Marlon Brando was!)  
and “Take back your mink…take back your pearls…what made you think, that I was one of those girls!”

And “Confrontation” from Les Miserables. First I would sing Javert’s part, then I’d start over and sing Valjean’s part. It would be epic.

Actually, anything by Sondheim would be appropriate. How about “A Little Priest” from Sweeney Todd?

At this very minute, somewhere in NYC, a shrink with a secret passion for showtunes is trying not to pee in his pants as an ashen-faced patient recounts having met Satan himself aboard the Number 3 train.
