Musical Theatre (and Film) Playlist

[Razouski]

Well thanks for all the suggestions for this playlist, some of which got me through my 8km run on the mill of dread yesterday. I didn't get to hear all of them, but this is what's on the list. Special thanks to misswobble (especially for the verdict on Gravity ), Sqkr , Wimborne , FenderTelecaster , Dexy5 , Irishprincess , Mummycav , and Hidden .

That is some list Razouski, it's up to Jancanrun to make up a playlist of at least some of those titles, perhaps Jan will contact you..

[Razouski in reply to AlMorr]

Hidden and I have already talked about this and she's happy to do the Spotify thing, as my playlist is on Deezer.

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

If it’s on Spotify can anyone play it Razouski, or will it be for those who pay? I haven’t used it much.

[Razouski in reply to Dexy5]

I think anyone can use it - Hidden will probably put it in the Retro Runners collection for everyone to use. I've never used Spotify so I'm not sure how it works.

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Razouski]

That's a great playlist - looking forward to hearing it . Do let us know what you call it when it's up and ready Hidden . The great thing about this forum is that it covers all ages and shares knowledge.

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Oops you forgot my Chariots of Fire

[Flaraflarkin Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

That was on my playlist on today's run Dexi!! 🤗

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Flaraflarkin]

You probably didn’t imagine you were running with Nigel havers like me

[Razouski in reply to Dexy5]

Nigel Havers doesn't really do it for me, I'm more of an Idris Elba or Denzil Washington kinda girl (obviously I've used poetics licence with the word girl )

[Razouski in reply to Dexy5]

Oooh sorry Dexy5 I'll edit when on my computer.

I also forgot FenderTelecaster 's When The Tough Gets Going, sorry.

[Millsie-J]

Oooh Im late to the party!

What about ‘We will Rock you!’

- i want to break free

- Radio Gaga

- Don't stop me now

- Another one bites the dust

- We are the champions

- Bohemian Rhapsody

And of course..,,,

- Dont stop me now!

[Razouski in reply to Millsie-J]

I was going to include some Queen a I could do We Will Rock You and also recently saw the new Film "Bohemian Rhapsody" over Christmas - but I already have a Queen playlist. I've also already bored people with "Keep Yourself Alive" twice already, as it's one of my favourite Queen songs to run too. Let me do an edit and add some Queen in. 👍🏽

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Razouski]

Love Queen ,💕

I have my own Queen playlist, unsurprisingly I have titled it "Ready Freddie Go"

[Razouski in reply to Jell6]

Excellent, I'm going to be thinking of you next time I run to Freddie.

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Razouski]

🤩😊, I had to add some ballads, I was going like the clappers!

[misswobble Graduate10]

I love the Pearl Bailey One. I had to wrack my brains to remember who did it 🤔

When I was little I used to call Harry Belafonte, “Arabella Fonte” 😁☺️

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Fab playlist! That would keep you going on an epic run 🙂

[Razouski in reply to Irishprincess]

Indeed it will. In fact I used it for my 8 km at the gym the other day, then when I played it today for my run (on shuffle obviously) I didn't have any repeats, so it is probably good enough for a half marathon. I think any new suggestions I will start a #2musical theatre playlist so that I can alternate between them.

[Wimborne]

Oh Razouski. 😂 I only saw the word film and not the connection to musical theatre. Probably because I was doing too many things at once again. Not sure my tracks were west end worthy but love them anyway. Made me giggle at my self. I can be such a dizz pot. There’s always one isn’t there.

[Razouski in reply to Wimborne]

😂😂😂

Oh Wimborne you do make me giggle. Maybe we should start another playlist for best film soundtrack tracks. If you know what I mean.

[Wimborne in reply to Razouski]

I am very used to giggling at myself... 😊. A good giggle works wonders for me. Am very happy to share the giggles too.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

Flippin heck Razouski ...you could run 10 marathons on this lot!! There's some fab tracks on here Raz, I wouldn't be able to stop myself breaking into character...one minute Julie Andrews, next minute Billy Elliot!! Look forward to taking the playlist out with me!!! X

[Razouski in reply to Mummycav]

Mummycav I think there is just enough for a half marathon, and as I'm hoping to do another one later in the year it will be good to have a playlist long enough. I ran to it on Friday and when I ran again today I didn't have a single repeat - which was good as you know how short my boredom threshold is.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Razouski]

Lol...yep, mine too...I don’t like repeats....xx half marathon!? You are a warrior xx

[Razouski in reply to Mummycav]

I ran the distance twice by myself last year and once at an event. However I was so disappointed with the race I chose I now feel I should do a more scenic one to see if I enjoy it more. I was hoping to do one in Italy with Jancanrun but not sure if I can make the date as it clashes with my daughter’s birthday. 😟 so I may have to apply for a UK one in the interim. In fact I’ve applied for ballot if the Royal Parks Half, but that’s not until October!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Razouski]

Ooooo fingers crossed xx

[Hidden]
