Is it really a musical if you don't want to put every single character in therapy?

SEVENTEEN AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME
Playlist of BIG SONGS about being seventeen from musicals. ANGST. LOVE. JOY. INTENSITY.
Criteria:
Singer* must be 17: Explicit in canon ("Trapped where there ain't no future / Even at seventeen), confirmed in character breakdown, or implied by grade in school (11th or 12th grade)
Cannot be a song about a seventeen year old if they are not the singer (Dancing Queen from Mamma Mia)
Must be an emotive song in some way about their human experience. A song just being sung by seventeen year olds (Breaking Free from HSM) is not enough.
MUST INSPIRE THE FULL BODY FEELS
The Flow of the Playlist:
Starts in rage, then despair, then hope, then joy, then...something else. Which is basically what it is to be seventeen.
Notable Exemptions:
Where's Spring Awakening? THOSE KIDS ARE FOURTEEN YEARS OLD CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??
The High School Musical Characters can be presumed to be seventeen but the only, in my opinion, big feels songs were performances
Next to Normal: Gabe is 18, Natalie is 16, I am devastated
"Not Your Seed" from The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals inspired this playlist, but got excluded in the end because the singer is an alien who has taken the body of a seventeen year old
I listened to this and cleaned my apartment for 2 hours straight this is BIG ENERGY BIG EMOTION MUSIC IT'S GREAT
*If a group number at least half must be presumably seventeen. This excludes group numbers in Newsies and Les Mis.

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? Poetry
King of New York

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.

characters grieving dead loved ones
characters grieving dying loved ones
characters clinging to familiarity in the face of death
dying characters mourning the life they might have lived
dying characters accepting that this is the end
dead characters mourning the life they might have had
dead characters loving the life they had
dead characters helping their loved ones grieve them
characters mourning themselves
