Broadway Show Tunes To Tune Up Your Writing
The top 55 Broadway songs.
Many are from the musicals we remember,
or have run for an incredible amount of time on Broadway.
This lists the play first, then the song, then of course, the link.
These plays and songs are not in chronological order by year.
Now, you can spice up your writing with whimsical music
that has charmed, dazed, and amazed audiences around the world.
(The song Some Other Time, from On The Town and
Lost in the Stars, from said same, there was
no clear sounding video hence my choice)
Enjoy!

This now concludes the search for music to put a spark into your thoughts,
an idea to paper, so whether you are writing, about to write or have written,
music is a catalyst to engtertain our emotions,
and it is our emotions that prompt us to write,
and enteratin those who read.
As Judy Garland said before she sang ‘Lost In The Stars’,
all the lyrics written come from beautiful poems.
