My eighties show

I've been inspired by dance. I'm working on a new show representing the 80's. I wanted to make a memoir of Street Dancing/Electric Boogaloo/ Break Dancing or Whatever you want to call it. I've been working really hard on it all summer. Although there's a story line to it, there isn't any words. During my studies of the performing arts, I learned how you can tell a whole story without words through music and dance. Since Flashdance and Breakin' where my two favorite movies, I thought it would be cool to take some of the music from it, put my on show together. Right now I'm just working on the music. I think I have a pretty good start, since you guys from the org are 80's music experts, I wanted to think of what you all thought of my list for the show. Here's what I have so far:

Act I:

Introduction: Putting On The Ritz- Taco

The Party Begins. . .
All Night Long- Lionel Ritchie
Rhythm Of The Night- Debarge
Conga- The Miami Sound Machine

The Night Life:

I’m so excited- Pointer Sisters
New Attitude- Patti Labelle
She Works Hard For The Money- Donna Summer
Maneater- Hall & Oates
Private Dancer- Tina Turner
Roxanne- The Police

Act II:

Stop To Love- Luther Vandross
Loves Light In Flight- Stevie Wonder
Attack Me With Your Love- Cameo
The Glamorous Life- Sheila E
Oh Sheila- Ready For The World

Act III:
Din Dah Dah- George Kranz

I Feel For You- Chaka Khan
Let The Music Play- Shannon
Like A Virgin- Madonna
Beat It- Micheal Jackson
Love Is A Battlefield- Pat Benatar
True Colors- Cyndi Lauper
Flashdance. . . What A Feeling- Irene Cara


I think it's kind of perfect, but I'm still feeling like I'm missing something. I'm going to keep working on it until I can feel it's complete. I don't want to give to much details away, just a glimpse of the future show? Do you guys have any suggestion, what do you think of the current list ? I'm kind of looking for like 80's Athems put it all together.

Thanks

I Was Thinking There's Some Prince Missing From The Show but that's kind of why I added The Glamorous Life. I remember always watching this video back in the days, but back then I hated the song 4 some reason.
