#1Broadway Songs About/With the theme of "Money"
Posted: 5/19/07 at 11:10amLooking for songs with the theme of "Money" from Broadway shows...obviously "If I Were A Rich Man", and "Money Makes the World Go Around" are easy choices. Looking for other ones. Any songs about "deserving to get rich?" or "Come with me, I'll make sure you get all you deserve?" I know this is an odd request...but any ideas would be very helpful!

I blocked out most of my WEDDING SINGER experience, but wasn't there a song along the lines of "It's All About The Green"?

Posted: 5/19/07 at 12:12pmWell, it's sorta indirect, but "Lovely Ladies" from Les Miz does connect to money allthough its more about prostitution in general.

millie_dillmount, the score of 42ND STREET is made up of previously written songs and original songs.
"We're In The Money" was not written for 42ND STREET.

Posted: 5/19/07 at 1:01pmDefinitely "Pennies from Heaven." I don't know if it's from a musical though, and if it is, what musical it's from. Bing Crosby sang it, as did Bernadette Peters recently.
"I believe that art does not exist only to entertain, but also to challenge one to think, to provoke, even to disturb, to engage in a constant search for the truth."
