I've always thought Evgenia would suit the Music from The Crown and Satoko, The Merry Widow
Mary Poppins Returns got some good music but dunno who would do it well?

Remembering the Broadway/musical RD next season.....
{perking up} who's done or could do Sweeney Todd? Surely, someone has had to do Sweeney Todd....
Or Kinky Boots
I seem to remember a Canadian dance team using A Little Priest from last year's Nationals, not one on the international scene though. Also unfortunately they were using the movie version :noshake: Sweeney Todd is probably my all time favorite musical but it'd be kind of perverse seeing a team skate to say, Poor Thing even if it has a good rhythm. The Johanna Quartet, though...
aretha franklin
think mariah bell; kailani craine
My biggest wish was for Jason Brown to do a Queen medley for his free, but Matteo Rizzo beat him to it!!
As much as I would love to see Eun Soo skate to Scheherazade, it might invite too many comparisons to Yuna’s epic version where she won her first world title. I do think it would be a good choice for her in a couple of years (maybe Olympic season).
Now Bradie as Cersei - that’s a great idea!

An Italian girl did Aretha's Think (in Blues Brothers' movie version, I think), and another Italian girl did Ike and Tina's Proud Mary at Bavarian Open. Considering Mateo Rizzo's programs (like Ray Charles, Blues Brothers and everything), it makes me wonder if 60s/70s music is a thing in Italy now? or is it just about the Italian choreographer they have? Btw, Mateo is already doing 80's(Ghostbusters), isn't he?
I love those old soul~R&B music a lot, but the only female skater I can think of, who could actually do well with Aretha's powerful vocal and not be her background dancer, would be Kostner. It would be a great tribute to Aretha, but not sure if it'd be a great number for her competitive programs.

I am an idiot and I forgot that the RD next year is Broadway when I made the OP :shame: However, I've taken the liberty of choosing some musicals for some of the top teams (you'll recall I started the Broadway programs thread a year or two ago, so this is right in my wheelhouse :hap85: )
Chock & Bates: Stephen Sondheim's FOLLIES Timeless and grand, just like their style
Guignard & Fabbri: Lullaby of Broadway (42nd Street)
Gilles & Poirier: Burt Bacharach's Promises Promises... I don't really know they could make the patterns work but if they could I would be thrilled because I love the energy of the score
Weaver & Poje: Anything Goes mash-up :yes:
Hubbell & Donohue: Sticking with A Chorus Line, see OP
Stepanova & Bukin: Another Fosse program, perhaps :think:
Papadakis & Cizeron: Honestly no idea
I am already dreading the endless Chicago programs we will have to endure :disapp: :no: Like seriously, it is going to be so annoying. Mark my words--we will see 40-50% of RD's to Chicago next year. I predict we will also be sick of West Side Story.
The RD will likely be a headache next season. I think teams like G/P will take it as an opprotunity to do something obscure and interesting, but I think a lot of teams will go with the most obvious choices
