Does My Fair Lady count?
I know they're not your typical lovey-dovey couple, but that's exactly what I like about Eliza and Prof. Higgins. Plus, the music is fantastic.

Sunday in the Park with George is such a great show!
Yeah, Bye Bye Birdie counts...double! Albert and Rosie AND Kim and Hugo/Birdie

PASSION, no doubt about it.
Glad to hear it. BwayLover!
Isn't it just brilliant?
And the music is so amazing!

I almost said "My Fair Lady" but I am not sure that is as much a LOVE story as it is a LIKE story.
ok, no offense b/c i agree that its music is romantic and its about love but isn't it kinda weird that L5Y is everyones fave because if you think about it, it's a depressing show about a love that never made it...i don't know...i love the show don't get me wrong but...don't know if i'd say it was my favorite love musical.
Peggy- I believe there are two musical versions of Cyrano. The best one is actually on iTunes... it stars Christopher Plummer.
The song "I Never Loved You" will break you heart!

Passion!
Once on this Island
Last 5 Years
Aida
RENT
Zanna Don't :)
West Side Story
Anythhing Goes (not sure why)
Last 5 Years, no question. Cant wait until it come here in the summer.
'If I didn't believe in you' and 'Goodbye until tomorrow/i could never rescue you' break my heart.
Aida and Miss Saigon, definitely
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who loves PASSION so much. No one I know even knows it (until I sit them down and tell them, that is lol). It's absolutely breathtaking - both the music and the story.
I don't know who I love listening to more do the part; Maria or Donna. The each play it in different directions and each one is beautiful. But I think I like Maria's "Loving You" more, but Donna's "Flashback" better!
Avenue Q- The one with the most heart.
I also love- LA CAGE AUX FOLLES
And Millie of course.
I love the Mascara song. ()

Interestingly, there are actually four prominent stage musical versions of Cyrano. Three played Broadway- the 1973 flop at the Palace starring Christopher Plummer, the 1993 version at the Neil Simon, and a very short- lived version at the end of the 19th century. Also, Maltby and Shire wrote a musical Cyrano as one of their first collaborations. In addition, Cameron Mackintosh has been quoted as saying he gets about 10 Cyrano musical scripts a month--- people are so eager to do Cyrano as a musical BUT like vampires... it's just not a feasible topic for Broadway musicalization.
