(It&#8217;s probably because the male\/female relationship is the most common one in musicals.) It was challenge to narrow the songs down, but I decided to go with numbers I think will do well at competition. The formula is the same as past articles: a strong relationship, full story arc, and performance length. As a bonus, I teamed up with Chris Leavy on this article, so we&#8217;ve got 33 numbers for you, split between Part 1 <em>and\u00a0<\/em>Part 2.
