From ghostly ballads to ghoulish dance numbers and chilling accounts from the likes of killers, there's a song for every kind of monster in Broadway's catalogue.
Trust us, Broadway has dozens of numbers that fit the holiday theme. If you're looking for more Halloween songs to add to your playlist this year but want something different than tracks by typical contemporary artists, we recommend looking through showtunes. Over the years, there have been a number of musicals, both comedies and dramas, that lean into darker themes. Musical theatre showtunes are special for their abilities to make audiences feel deeply - either through phenomenal performances, arresting scores, or stories that keep us on the edges of our seats.
Maybe it's because The Phantom of the Opera will be closing next year, or maybe because the theatre world is rocked by the sudden passing of the legendary Angela Lansbury, but we've been thinking a lot about Broadway lately.
