Time to shine Theatre Board nerds.
Looking for recommendations of songs similar in style (musically not thematically or contextually) to 'I'm Still Here' from Follies.
I'm sure there's an abundance, but I can't think of any really bar the American Dream from Miss Saigon.
Suggestions from blues/jazz/big band/RnB 'popular music' also welcome.
Thanks

At the risk of having no shine at all...
"Dirty Rotten Number" from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?
Builds throughout in a similar way and sounds a bit similar.

How about ‘I Want To Be A Producer’? That builds, but explodes in a flurry of showgirls towards the end?
