Posted: 7/19/12 at 10:54amI agree that there is no more beautiful song than "Sunday"...but Sondheim has many runners up.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

There's A Fine Line
Another great song I forgot.
These lists are just silly. Too many great songs in the history of Broadway for me to choose the MOST beautiful.
Plus, my choice changes from day to day. I'm all about the Encores Merrily recording right now so Not A Day Goes By is the song du jour.
Next week it will be something else.
