Exactly my thoughts...
I mean irl it would be rather bad to havdle so much turmoil in relationships over a year, let alone one night.
But then i think... But isnt it *NICE*?
And im bacm on side with everybody's decisions as they happen in the moment
I believe that all the characters were thinking "hey, let's do it for the plot!" during the movie because only that could explain all the weird stuff happening lmao
Dracula - There’s always a tomorrow
Camelot - If ever I would leave you
Great comet of 1812 - The abduction
A gentleman's guide to love and murder - I've decided to marry you
The wild party (lippa) - Make me happy
Bridges of Madison County - Falling into you, One second and a million miles
I also love the train sequence but it's not in the English cast album, only German. that whole musical is so satisfying to listen to despite the libretto being quite silly
Would you consider non english ones?
Les maudits mots d'amour is catchy af, from Red and Black
Si je te promets / Il est temps / faire comme Si / apres d'un autre are the key songs from a King Arthur musical, so that's your Lancelot/Guin/Art triangle right here
The German wildhorn ver of the above: alles ist vorbei
Some more:
&Juliet has I kissed a boy if you don't mind jukebox stuff
And The Ball from Natasha, Pierre, 1812 probably also counts?
- Any Moment and Moments In The Woods - Into The Woods
- El Tango De Roxanne - Moulin Rouge
- There Are Worse Things I Could Do - Grease
- Nobody Needs to Know - The Last 5 Years
"That'll Show Him" from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. It's so/so since she's in an arranged marriage and doesn't have a choice, but still funny when talking about "when I kiss him/I'll be kissing you... so I'll kiss him morning and night..."
Out There from Barnum. A song about him convincing himself to cheat on his wife with Jenny Lind sung while he is walking a tightrope. Great song, forgotten musical.
Elisabeth das Musical - nur kein Genieren ("just without embarrassment"), technically there's no cheating in the song itself but it sets it up in the most clear way possible.
The musical is in German, true, but it's one of the most beautiful I've ever watched, music-wise. And the plot is great too. I highly recommend.
This might not be the vibe you're going for but Helen's Etude or Days & Days from Fun Home.
& in the realm of hypothetical cheating, I'll Never Be Jealous Again from The Pajama Game.
White Girl In Danger - Stealing my Thunder
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu\_maB8mthI&list=OLAK5uy\_me9hzHQx9hd0KUs-GxhMUx3RPzZIB9VDs&index=12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu_maB8mthI&list=OLAK5uy_me9hzHQx9hd0KUs-GxhMUx3RPzZIB9VDs&index=12)
I’d say dangerous game from Jekyll and Hyde. It’s not technically cheating but it’s practically all but flat out said Hyde and Lucy were either doing the act off scene or that they were *extremely* close to doing so; despite Jekyll being engaged and close to marriage in the plot of the show
I Know Him So Well | Chess. Imagine meeting the person you get cheated to. But both of you know that none will be picked by that lover you two loved. The one, once loved but cannot love him again, the other falling in love but will not be loved by him.
Moment in the Woods - Into the Woods.
Agony Reprise can be thrown in there too
I hate this but I can’t argue
Ah well, back to my wife…..
Funny but wrong song lol
That one too though
So true!! Forgot about that one
Toucha toucha toucha touch me- rocky horror A song about cheating sang right as the impulse overtakes you?
Omg I came here to comment this too lol. By the way, the look on Janet's face as she evaluates if she was really gonna do it or not is priceless lmao.

Nobody needs to know - last 5 years
Fun fact — “Say No To This” quotes “Nobody Needs To Know” at the end of the song
I didn't plan it - waitress also slaps
+ A Miracle Would Happen from TL5Y towards the end of the song
A Miracle Would Happen is also a complete bop
Cell Block Tango from Chicago No Way from Six And I am Telling You I'm Not Going from Dreamgirls Tango Maureen from RENT
Don't lose your head and All you wanna do from SIX as well 😂
Yeah, Henry VIII was not a faithful monarch whatsoever ;)
Y'know what, might just throw in the whole soundtrack
Take Me or Leave Me from RENT also a solid choice.
any moment/moments in the woods from into the woods
Dracula - There’s always a tomorrow Camelot - If ever I would leave you Great comet of 1812 - The abduction A gentleman's guide to love and murder - I've decided to marry you The wild party (lippa) - Make me happy Bridges of Madison County - Falling into you, One second and a million miles
There's Always a Tomorrow goes SO hard. Way harder than it needs to
I also love the train sequence but it's not in the English cast album, only German. that whole musical is so satisfying to listen to despite the libretto being quite silly
Oh the libretto is laughable. But the music is kinda gorgeous lol
"If Ever I Would Leave You" is by the other guy. "Before I Gaze at You Again" is 100% actually about cheating. Not as good of a song, though.
Hey Little Songbird from Hadestown isn’t about cheating, exactly, but it draws on a lot of that language.
The sexual undertones in Hadestown are fascinating. Especially in Flowers which essentially works on two separate levels.
Oh totally. It is not explicitly stated but Persephone 100% fucks.
Everyday a little death - A Little Night Music
In Praise of Women - A Little Night Music
Head Over Feet / You Oughta Know - Jagged Little Pill.
Beneath A Moonless Sky - Love Never Dies
Don't know if this counts because it is AFTER the cheating but Thrill of First Love - Falsettos
If you want one where I’m pretty sure it is Marvin cheating, Whizzer Going Down from In Trousers (someone made the soundtrack a podcast on spotify)
True! That is my favorite In Trousers song, can't believe I forgot it
dangerous game from jekyll and hyde
beneath a moonless sky

If we are talking non-English examples: "Me mata, me salva" from Siete Veces Adiós
Natasha and Anatole or The Ball from Great Comet of 1812, I'll be honest there is quite a bit of songs from this musical that features cheating
"Whizzer Going Down" from In Trousers is so good its actually insane
- Any Moment and Moments In The Woods - Into The Woods - El Tango De Roxanne - Moulin Rouge - There Are Worse Things I Could Do - Grease - Nobody Needs to Know - The Last 5 Years
Tiger, Tiger - The Apple Tree
Passion, just the entire musical.
Whizzer Going Down from In Trousers

Happiness- passion
Hello and Goodbye - Evita.
any moment- into the woods
“Always true to you in my fashion” from Kiss Me, Kate is a bop and a half
Don't Lose Ur Head - SIX
El Tango de Roxanne from Moulin Rouge fits, I’d say.
Toucha Toucha Toucha Touch Me- Rocky Horror Picture Show Still is tied with “Over At the Frankenstein Place” for my favorite song from the movie
The winner takes it all by … yk
Out There from Barnum. A song about him convincing himself to cheat on his wife with Jenny Lind sung while he is walking a tightrope. Great song, forgotten musical.
Love is blind. Damn what a tragic show. I’m gonna listen to it now.

oh, yo, Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend counts, & you can choose whether you prefer it from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes or Moulin Rouge.
Don't loose your head . Six
All You Wanna Do - SIX: The Musical
What about Love? - The Color Purple One - Bare: a Pop Opera
Something Isn't Right Here - Bring it On! When We Are Wed / Forever Yours (Reprise) - Once on This Island
You're so real for this
Head Over Feet - Jagged Little Pill would work even though context isn’t provided in the song
Listen to Your Heart and Deep Love - Young Frankenstein
Just recently: "Forever" from The Notebook

You would if you could - Me and My Girl Whizzer going down - in trousers I'm breaking down - Falsettos (not all about it but does have mentions of it)
Sibella from A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder
There Are Other Ways, except they stop short.
Losing My Mind... Too Many Mornings- Follies
I Know Him So Well | Chess. Imagine meeting the person you get cheated to. But both of you know that none will be picked by that lover you two loved. The one, once loved but cannot love him again, the other falling in love but will not be loved by him.
hardbody - american psycho!
Charming- Great Comet of 1812

Would all you wanna do count?
All 'Er Nuthin from Oklahoma! slaps as of 2019 thanks to Ali Stroker
I say no from heathers I think? I know it’s a breakup song I just dk the context
Specifically from musicals or not? I'm suggesting Babooshka by Kate Bush anyways. Edit: and Homewrecker by MARINA
