The Bookseller recently posted that E. L. James is in talks with theatre producers to make a Fifty Shades of Grey musical. Making a musical is no small feat, so I came up with some potential song titles in order to give them inspiration. Note that some song titles didn’t even need to be changed from their appearance in already well-established shows. Also, in case you are a newcomer to musical theatre you should know that any song with the word “dance” in the title is really about having sex. Seriously. Just replace “dance” with any word for having sex and tada, you get straight to the subtext. The genius Mr. Stephen Sondheim refers to this in his wonderful song, Can That Boy Foxtrot. Enjoy!
