Fair point.
But your first response of Chicago has over half a dozen great songs. Are all of them eligible?

Chicago creates an especially odd situation here, because you’re absolutely right that it has a ton of great shit, but if one is really the theme, it’s “All That Jazz,” and it’s one of the weakest numbers and totally unworthy of a serious run in a tournament.

I’d say no, and though it’s somewhat subjective, certain songs stand out as a musical theme.
Disagree with LKJ about All that Jazz being weak. It’s a banger.
Cellophane is my favorite, mostly because I’m impressed he sings it.
Most good movie musicals have similar issues.
That would crop up again and again I think. The Sound of Music’s most iconic numbers certainly aren’t the theme. Same for Mary Poppins. And I kinda don’t think “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” would count for Wizard of Oz?

Mister Cellophane is my favorite also. But also a shoutout to They Both Reached for the Gun and Cell Block Tango.

I’m starting to see the wisdom of potentially making musicals their own bracket. Fair points.
#2 and #3 for me too.

Who you gonna call? dlk9s’ pony.
More main themes:
Probably won’t make tourney, but appeals to me. Really just has the hook.
Pretty good, maybe should make it, but would finish low.
