Video Friday: Broadway Here I Come

Okay, a disclaimer about this song: I found out about it from a Smash promo. You should know, I have very mixed feelings about that show. I actually stopped watching after the third episode so I wasn’t even a viewer by the time Jeremy Jordan made his entrance as Jimmy on season two. But I remember catching wind of this tune and looking into it immediately. Written by Joe Iconis, it has a great hook, haunting lyrics, and an ending that gives me chills every time.

Here is “Broadway, Here I Come!” performed by the man with the ultimate pipes, Jeremy Jordan (the song starts at 1:37).


Video Friday: Run Away with Me

I’ve been digging on this song for years and years now. I actually can’t remember who first introduced me to it. Written by Kait Kerrigan and Brian Lowdermilk, it’s from a musical called The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown. This is the only song I know though; I should really learn more of their work.

Here is Michael Arden singing “Run Away with Me” (the song starts at :46). Jeremy Jordan also does a lovely version that makes me swoon a little.
