I am looking for songs to add to my playlist that have feminine rage vibes but also feel like they could be in a Broadway musical, though they aren’t.

Question

Nora Rev · Answer

Butterfly Boucher’s Another White Dash: A now-ex-girlfriend played this in the car on the way home from a situationship assignation back in 2009. As a former theatre kid who loves soaring melodies, solid lyrics, and Vibey Intense Emotions, it hit the spot then and has stood the test of time.
