Hi everyone, this is my first post here  i'm trying to do a playlist featuring songs from musicals coming from around the world and it's not that easy. I would really appreciate suggestions on musicals songs from Asian/South American/European/African countries. For reference here's the playlist at the moment : Thanks in advance for your help! |

Do you want songs specifically with places in the title? Or just songs from different countries?
For the UK (off the top of my head) you could have songs from Billy Elliot, Blood Brothers, Matilda (music by an Australian, does that tick two boxes? 😄), Oliver.
For France you could have something from Les Mis in the original French.

Thank you! Yes I'm interested in songs from musicals that are set in various countries.
But I'm also trying to find musicals originated in different cultures. For example there's the Operette in France or the Zarzuela in Spain or obviously Bollywood in India. There was also apparently a rich musical theater culture in Egypt.
