10 Broadway Songs Everyone Should Listen To
Metro Pro Theme

I really love musicals, guys. It can't be helped, so I thought I would share a few of my favorite songs with you. Enjoy!

1. "Guns and Ships"-Hamilton: An American Musical

Let's face it. Hamilton is one of the greatest musicals of all time. This song is the epitome of awesome. Daveed Diggs absolutely kills it as Marquis de Lafayette in this song. It is the fastest Broadway song to date with Diggs spitting 19 words in THREE SECONDS. It's absolutely fantastic.

2. "What is This Feeling?"-Wicked

The harmonies are amazing in this song. The tension you can feel between these two characters in their voices will have you reeling. I don't even know how to explain my adoration of this song. Just listen to it.

3. "At The End of The Day"-Les Miserables

A true testament to how I feel on Mondays during the school year.

4. "Cell Block Tango"-Chicago

A classic. Even if you don't do musicals, you have probably heard "Cell Block Tango." It is one of the most insanely popular songs from a musical ever.

5. "What'd I Miss"-Hamilton: An American Musical

Not going to lie, I may be a little bit partial to Daveed Diggs—just a little bit. But, let me point out that this song is completely different from "Guns and Ships" and also features a different character (Thomas Jefferson). This song will have you wondering what you missed (HA) by not listening to Hamilton sooner. Seriously, just listen to the entire soundtrack.

6. "So Much Better"-Legally Blonde

This song will have you knowing that you can do sooooo much better. It really helps me get through homework. Great to listen to after you have listened to number nine (On My Own).

7. "Summer in Ohio"-The Last Five Years

A hilarious ballad about a horrendous summer in Ohio. Anna Kendrick's version is my favorite. Might make you want to live with "a former stripper and her snake, Wayne."

8. "Mama Who Bore Me"-Spring Awakening

UGGGGGHHHH so pretty.

9. "On My Own"-Les Miserables

Literally any girl who has ever experienced unrequited love, except way more depressing and sad. Listen to Samantha Barks sing it. You might be crying at the end. Sorry.

10. "Fly, Fly Away"-Catch Me If You Can

Oh my Lord, the belting in this song is unreal. Kerry Butler literally slays this song. This is one you might try to sing in the shower and then possibly fail so miserably that you're embarrassed at yourself.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
