As a Broadway lover, I've always wondered what if Narnia books were each a musical. There are so many categories of a musical number- Intro songs, "I Want" songs, comedy songs, villain songs, love songs.
For The Horse And His Boy, "Narnia and the North" is an idea for an intro song or even leitmotifs, kind of like "The Bells of Notre Dame" in the stage adaption of The Hunchback of Notre Dame or "Facade" in Jekyll and Hyde. For other Narnia books, "Coming of Spring" in The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe and "Further Up, Further In" In The Last Battle.
A majority of villain songs are about their evil plans for world domination. There can even be a villain singing the main melody and the minions singing as backup, like "Be Prepared" from The Lion King or "In The Dark of the Night" from Anastasia. Jadis can sing about planning to conquer the world, Rabadash can sing about how he wants to marry Susan and how he plans to invade Narnia.
For love songs, a love duet between Caspian and Ramandu's Daughter is idea. Bree or Hwin singing a love song observing Cor and Aravis is also idea. It would be like "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid or "Tale As Old As Time" from Beauty and the Beast.
Any ideas for a musical number for each Narnia book?
