Musical Theatre Song Contest: Round One D
Submitter’s propaganda under the cut
Go Tonight
NO song does grief like this one..... the slow build up the panicked crescendo!! The GUILT behind the lyrics... and the anger too.... "You were mad! MAD! And so alive... " The way that the final sentence is left unfinished just like Kelly's life... The way that Sam sings "and now you're..." and doesnt finish the "gone" bc there is too much emotion... you can HEAR the emotion rising up in her SILENCE... and then the beat comes back in thousandfold... yeah this song makes me insane
The tune would have got me tbh but the black hole as a metaphor for grief? When once you were in someone's orbit and they burnt so hot and bright that they were all you spun around, until they burnt themselves out and you were trapped on the periphery of a black hole, and you're still spinning around them, drained and numb?

Dancing newsies + spoons = the secret to happiness
Energetic, rebellious song that makes me feel so elated whenever I hear it!! Also tapdancing!!
Racetrack's best friends are dying in jail and completely missing, respectively, and he decided to tap dance. Amazing choreography, funny ad-libs, and a spoon fight.

This song is already amazing, but this animatic is perfectly done to accompany it.
Also, you should really read this essay by the lyricist who explains how the song came to be and shares some deeply personal connections with the lyrics.

Don’t know why but Cups by Anna Kendrick, and Go Tonight by Krystina Alabado and Emma Hunton sound like two sides of the same song

as a kid i thought i would graduate from kid problems like cleaning my room to adult problems like jobs and taxes. but instead i have a job and taxes and still have to clean my room. cleaning my room is a lifetime problem. i will never stop having to put my markers away before bedtime. this is a rude way for aging to work.

she was --- everything i'm not, my whole universe
when i was a footnote, a slim second verse
but she was the chorus, the hook and the groove
and without her there pushing somehow i can't
move

Just me, or does this feel like a Kat and Matilda song? At least pre-finale?
(For context, the singers are a young woman and her memories of her best friend, who died very suddenly.)

Steve is sitting at the table in the kitchen FaceTiming Tommy to help his daughter with her math homework when Eddie brings his live-stream into the room.
“While Isla’s in the bathroom, I’m going to do the same,” Steve says, standing up. He tells them both, “Play nice.”
They do not do that because it’s funnier to keep the rivalry going. The first thing Eddie says when Steve steps out is, “Does it still eat you up inside that I married him?”
Tommy replies easily with, “Are you still jealous that I kissed him first?”
Carol chimes in, “Actually I kissed him first.”
“Doesn’t count,” Tommy and Eddie say at the same time. “There was no tongue.”
“And no declaration of love,” Eddie adds. “Only I got that.”
“Actually…” Robin says, never letting anybody forget. “He confessed he was in love with me and I didn’t have to kiss him.”
