One Song Glory.

You know when you hear that one song.
The song that makes you think "I might like this show."
It's the song that tells you the rest is as good. By no means is it a song that tells what the entire show is about or all the important stuff. Maybe it's not even a real indepth song. But it gets you somehow. It's catchy, or its fun, or it makes you say Yeah! I've found that for a lot of the shows I've loved I get one song to really pull me in. For Wicked it was probably Popular (possibly mixed with a little of Loathing and Defying Gravity) because it was perky and upbeat and seemed fun. For Rent it was La Vie Boheme. (I loved the 30 second preview on Itunes) For Chicago it was a little weird because I saw the show first, but All THat Jazz, Razzle Dazzle and Cell Block Tango for my firsts. For Spring Awakening it was Totally Fucked. For Bare it was You and I. For Rock of Ages it was Here I Go Again. For Next to Normal it was Superboy and the Invisible Girl. For 13 it was What it Means to Be A Friend. For Guys and Dolls it was Luck Be A Lady. For 9 to 5 it was that theme song. For Hair it was, well...Hair.
The song that you first hear might not be the headline of the show, or you favorite song in it forever, but its the song that gives you the faith to try the rest. And with my track record, that song has always given good guidance.
