hello! we are choroegraphing a 10 minute long jazz/musical theatre production and our theme is New York. We want to piece together 5 songs and end it with Alicia Key's part in Empire State of Mind. Have any good song suggestions besides, New York, New York? Thanks !!

Lullaby of Broadway-
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have a song called Dancing your Dream and I think the 3rd stanza is about New York-that may be a fun, unexpected piece to throw in there!

New York New York, from On the Town

Thats all I can think of off the top of my head but here is a list from Wikipedia that might offer some help!

en.wikipedia.org . . .

If I think of anymore, I will let you know!

-New York State of Mind
-NYC (from broadway version of Annie)
-New York Girls (from Sex and the City movie)
-New York Minute

You can also think of songs that describe different areas of NY like broadway/theatre, Central Park, uptown (Uptown Girl), downtown, etc..

Good luck!

"I Love New York" - Madonna
"American Boy" - Estelle
"Filthy/Gorgeous" - Scissor Sisters
"Jenny From the Block" - J-Lo
"King of New York" - Newsies
"Livin' La Vida Loca" - Ricky Martin ("Woke up in New York City....")
"No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn" - The Beastie Boys
"Safe In New York City" - AC/DC

Some of those only mention the city, but they're worth a listen.

I think there's a swing type piece called Big Apple
