If you’re anything like me, you cannot take a shower without a sick playlist to listen to. Some people choose Pop, some stick to a singular artist, but me, I’m strictly Broadway. Shower jams are much more serious than car jams, so you need a playlist that requires you to give it your all. So, here are some of my favorite songs from my "Broadway Shower Jams” playlist.
1. Any song from Hamilton
BUT if you make me choose, I'd say "Yorktown" or "Satisfied" but "Wait for It" is also good. CHOOSING IS TOO HARD because every song is perfect.
2. "I Believe" from The Book of Mormon
This song is best described by that scene in “Easy A” when Emma Stone uses her shampoo bottle to jam to Natasha Bedingfield’s “Pocket Full of Sunshine.”
So it is IMPERATIVE that you use the nearest bottle of shampoo/conditioner/soap to really belt this song out there.3. "Cell Block Tango" from Chicago
If you don’t sing every. single. word. of this song, you’re doing it wrong
4. "On My Own" from Les Misérables
Because taking a shower is just like being stranded in the rain
5. "Right Hand Man" from Something Rotten!
This song is fairly underestimated, but everyone should know it. Feminism in the Renaissance meets Heidi Blickenstaff. And that's all you could ever need/want.
6. "Dancing Queen" from Mamma Mia!
10/10 recommend this song as a shower jam. 8/10 have fallen because dancing in the shower is hard.
7. "Seasons of Love" from Rent
classic. And everyone knows it. (If you think you don't, you do)
8. "She Used to Be Mine" from Waitress
This is me trying to make you listen to the “Waitress" cast album because it is GOLD and Sarah Bareilles wrote the music and Jessie Mueller sings and it’s too perfect not to mention.
9. "Summer in Ohio" from The Last Five Years
Because who wouldn't want to pretend to sing a duet with the one and only Anna Kendrick.
10. "Ireland" from Legally Blonde the Musical
Broadway legend Orfeh as Paulette? Yes, please.
This is my no means my entire playlist. Believe me, if you knew how many show tunes I have on my phone, you'd thing I'm a theater major. Alas, my talent falls short of my love for Broadway so I will admire the stage from afar and continue showing up at my favorite actors' stage doors whenever I'm in NYC.
