10 Songs From Musicals That You Have To Sing Along To
London & Partners

Whether you grew up performing in shows or not, you still probably love a good Broadway jam session every once in a while. The following are my favorite songs to sing along to from musicals.

1. "Defying Gravity"

This is a given, because "Wicked" is one of the greatest musicals of all time, and the soundtrack does not disappoint. Even though some of us can't hit all of the powerful notes that Idina Menzel can, we still try.

2. "Without Love"

Whether you love the movie or the original Broadway musical, "Hairspray" has amazing numbers that you can sing over and over again. "Without Love" will always be one of my absolute favorites.


3. "Circle of Life"

Since we were just little kids, we have been singing this song whenever we hear the famous opening words. This song never seems to get old, and I know I never want it to. "The Lion King" continues to be one of my favorite movies and musicals to this day.


4. "You're the One That I Want"

This song from "Grease" is a classic, and I never hesitate to sing along when I hear it playing. Along with "Summer Nights," this song is one of my favorite songs from "Grease" that I will never get tired of listening to.


5. "One Day More"

This song has several different parts, but just singing it by yourself in different voices is just as great as singing it with a group of people. "Les Miserables" has one of the most beautiful soundtracks, and this song is the powerful ballad that never fails to give me goosebumps.


6. "The Sound of Music"

This song just makes me want to run through the hills of Austria singing. "The Sound of Music," especially the movie adaptation starring Julie Andrews, is such a brilliant and classic musical that has such a memorable soundtrack.


7. "The Phantom of the Opera"

Whenever I listen to this soundtrack, I just pretend I am an amazing opera singer just like Christine. This song is both dramatic and intense, and whenever I listen to it, it makes me want to watch the movie starring Gerard Butler.


8. "All That Jazz"

Whether you are just snapping your fingers to the beat or belting out the lyrics, this song is another perfect song to sing to in the car. I remember this being one of the first songs I listened to that got me interested in Broadway musicals, and it continues to be one of the best songs in a musical. (It's from "Chicago.")

9. "Omigod You Guys!"

I recently saw "Legally Blonde: The Musical" and ever since, I could not get this song out of my head. For that reason, I knew this song deserved a spot on my list.

10. "Seasons of Love"

When the first few notes of this song are heard, its easy to just start tearing up. This song is inspiring, beautiful, and pretty much perfect in every way. "Rent" has a great soundtrack, but this song continues to be my favorite.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
