This One's for You, Jill

A college friend recently wrote on her blog that she creates a playlist to help with what she's writing. She posted the list and was slightly embarrassed by the dork level of it...

But I challenge.

Jill, you're not a dork.

Below is the original inspirational playlist from my 2002 show, Four Quarters, with a couple more added in for the revised production in 2010. Yes, 2010.

Read it and dork.

Louder Than Words - by Jonathan Larson, featuring Raul Esparza, Jerry Dixon, and Amy Spanger, from Tick, Tick, Boom!

Mean Sleep - Cree Summer (yes, this is the edgiest song on the list)

Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of It - U2

I Will Never Leave You - Henry Krieger, featuring Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner, from Side Show

Brand New Lover - Dead or Alive

Sexual Revolution - Macy Gray

Stars and the Moon - by Jason Robert Brown, featuring Jessica Molasky, from Songs for a New World

Tell Me - Billie Myers

Come to Your Senses - by Jonathan Larson, featuring Amy Spanger, from Tick, Tick, Boom!

All I Want Is You - U2

You Walk With Me - from The Full Monty

I'll Be All Right - Jorma Kaukonen (Hot Tuna)

Wait for it...

Another round, Jill?
