Solo Musical Songs Outside of the Protagonist

Posted on by

It is pretty amazing how many kinds of musical theatre songs there are. You have the ensemble ones, the duets, and the solos- as in the main ones. The solos, especially, make you get to know the characters, and those usually are sung by major characters. Now, I decided to list the solos NOT meant for the meant for the main character. Meaning I will not leave out antagonist songs (one character I view as the antagonist is probably an unpopular opinion).

The Songs

  1. Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
  2. On My Own
  3. I Dreamed a Dream
  4. Stars
  5. Javert’s Soliloquy
  6. Music of the Night
  7. All I Ask of You (Reprise)
  8. If I Can’t Love Her
  9. As Long as He Needs Me
  10. My Petersburg

*Yes, I view the Phantom as the antagonist in his musical*

What other non-protagonist solo songs can you think of?
