Obama the musical! What are your suggestions for the song list?

Asked by ucme (50047points) January 12th, 2010

Apparently there is genuinely an Obama musical opening in I beleive Amsterdam, might have got that wrong but it is opening somewhere in Europe. What songs would be appropriate for such a venture?

@Sampson Either a very short or an extremely repetitive show. Still it would make a change we can all believe in~

I just know somebody’s going to want to say “Impossible Dream.”

I went looking for the old Broadway tune “Take Me Along” (If you love-a me) and found this instead. I don’t know—I might pick this one.

Teachable Moment would be an original song.
Let’s Work Together would be an existing song.

It would not be complete without Solid as Barack

HOPE – the Obama Musical Story is opening in Frankfurt, Germany, on January 17th. Apparently there’s already a Kenyan musical about him too.
but that’s not what you asked
Using existing songs, I would suggest:
Why Was I Born?—Kern & Hammerstein (for young Barack)
Countless uplifting gospel songs
there’s a brilliant election version of One Day More on youtube
Come So Far (Got So Far To Go) (stolen from Hairspray)
