Broadway songs

[carnation]

We did "Showboat" and "Flower Drum Song" when I was in the chapter but I doubt many PNMs have seen those either. Almost every sorority had a Broadway skit...Chi O had "Oliver!" and Tri Delt had "Carousel".

[NUBlue&Blue]

We did "The Sound of Kappa" for several years.

It's not Broadway, but we used Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend from Moulin Rouge, and that was a big hit.

Right now, Wicked is really popular - you could even use the song Popular, but I'm not sure how well that would go over, considering that you're saying they'll be popular if they join your sorority, and that they were misfits before.

Rent, of course, but that might be hard to change the lyrics to, and a lot of the songs are fast, but I'm sure you could make it work.

Phantom is always an old classic; a lot of people have at least heard of it. There might be problems with the whole soprano/opera notes though, but you could work through it.

Yes, I know, but we did the version from Moulin Rouge.

Oh, this brings back a lot of memories - songs I hear in the elevator -and think of AOPi songs...


"Girl of AOPI...you'll be one forever" by some crooner and didn't you all have a version of Pass It On?? Not from church camp?

My mom always wanted me to sing "Remember" with my sister - who was a Theta like her = we had different words = she made me do it in front of my own dd, the Theta.... in PUBLIC (you don't say no to my mama, I didn't REALLY sing it)

Not to date our songs - this was back in the dark ages of the late 70's.....we thought we were pretty hot when we changed my junior year to a Grease theme skit and song.

We didn't, but when my daughter was singing it, I said, "Oh, like Pass It On"...and she had never heard of Pass It On.

I guess they don't sing it at church camp anymore!

Honey, it's the same thing - only Nicole Kidman's voice is less annoying than Carol Channing's (actually Carol can sing, but that screechy thing she does is sort of her trademark).

For Good from Wicked makes a great Pref song - especially if two Srs sing it to eachother.

we did my fair zeta. "on the street where zetas live" and "getting to know you" were two of the songs they sang when i was a rushee at fsu. the dg's did pippin.

we changed it to cabaret when i was in the house-"life is a cabaret old chum, when you're a z-t-a."

in the late 80's /early 90's, a lot of zeta chapters did the little mermaid or grease.

I still have nightmares from the early 80's and the ZTA makeover of CATS. Eww....not one of our finer moments, IMO.
