60 songs from musicals for people who cross the fourth wall
You are a musical singer in search of a song that can touch an audience, that you can play directly with them. You are looking for a number of "House".

A song that can reach through the fourth wall of a theater (the invisible wall between the characters and the audience) is called a house number. Characters in a room are generally not aware that they are supervised by a house full of people, so the numbers in the House may be rare.

In musical theater there is little real house numbers, but you can actually make other songs cross the fourth wall fairly easily. Here are 60 songs for men that can be sung to the public directly. I listed the songs in three categories: the true number of the House
the song to the audience
soliloquy.

The first category is the actual number of home: The singer is fully aware that the audience is there and "fate" of the show.

If you want to die in his bed, and American Dream from Miss Saigon, and Oh What A Circus Evita are good examples of the actual number of the House. Sondheim wrote excellent house numbers, like comedy tonight and everyone should have a good A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum, or invocation to the gods and instructions to the audience of frogs (not often done as it is being a real swimming pool).

In the second category, the character played before an audience on stage as part of the show. The most obvious song for the men is the master of the House of Les Miserables. The MC of Cabaret extends the general public a Berlin discotheque to include real theater audience with songs such as Willkommen and if you could see. In Barnum, The Museum Song is sung in a general group of people who, as it is bigger is not better. Springtime for Hitler is sung to the public in the producing countries, as Beautiful Girls (from Follies).

Consider the use of songs What You Got Life, Pinball Wizard from Tommy, and I am what I am La Cage Aux Folles. Stand Up And Fight Carmen Jones, and Me go to church on time for My Fair Lady can be a house number. You can also go out with all the care that I speak of love, and Mr. Cellophane from Chicago is unusual Come into my office in the parade where the man of "replay" a scene in a courtroom according to the imaginary version of his young wife co-workers.

Musical Tribute is a useful source of house numbers such as That'll Be The Day and Johnny Be Good from Buddy, or I want to release of We Will Rock You. Virtually any song from Hedwig And The Angry Inch would work, including Sugar Daddy and Angry Inch. 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has an implied audience for the spelling bee, and "children" sing songs such as My Unfortunate Erection directly to them. I can do (from A Chorus Line) is sung to Zach who is seated at the back of the actual audience.

Then there is the third type - the song unifocus (the soliloquy) that has a passive sense, or ask questions, or contains rhetoric. Funny from City of Angels. What It Is About Her Wild Party, and does not take much in life and work. All I Need Is The Girl from Gypsy working together tonight at eight o'clock and She Loves Me She Loves Me sure how to handle a woman from Camelot, Being Alive Company and two from Parade (Pretty Music and Big News).

Curiously, the anthem of failures could function as a number fourth wall that Russia could be to share her story with the public. You can also experiment with songs like Make Them you heard about Ragtime, if I were a rich man from Fiddler on the Roof, and thank Heaven for Little Girls from Gigi. And two to include in this list and they are out of a new brain, and Dressing Them Up from Kiss of the Spider Woman.

Giants in the sky Into the Woods, greater than.
