Not Getting Married Today from Company! Especially with Matt Doyle! I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard in my freaking life than during that number!
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

AS WE STUMBLE ALONG - Drowsy Chaperone
GIRL SCOUT - Beetlejuice
BAPTIZE ME - The Book of Mormon
IT SUCKS TO BE ME - Avenue Q
FIGHT FOR ME (For the staging) - Heathers
Also, the school bus line before LIFEBOAT in HEATHERS floors me every time.

A GREAT NIGHT FOR A MURDER -Stop! You're Killing Me
Just give the world Love.

Within the context of the show “Don’t Lose Ur Head” from Six is quite funny. Even with the milennial/gen z lingo my middle aged parents were laughing their asses off, especially at the climax where Boleyn says “I guess he just really liked my head?” and uses the microphone to mime you what

Going Back in Time, of course:
Show Me! Julie Andrews sang this often in concert and television appearances.
Life Upon the Wicked Stage Show Boat
(You Gotta Have) Heart Damn Yankees
Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend Carol Channing
There Is Nothing Like a Dame South Pacific
No Way to Stop It Nearly lost gem from Sound of Music
A crazy planet full of crazy people

And everytime it turns another somersault
Another day goes by

Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. Pal Joey
Matchmaker
You heard he has a temper.
He'll beat you every night,
But only when he's sober,
So you'll alright. Fiddler on the Roof

I know I'm going to sound like a crazy person, but in attending hundreds of Broadway shows over decades, I've never laughed as hard as I did at Gettin' the Band Back Together. The songs don't stand alone as much as some from, say, Spamalot, but I laughed my butt off at "Hava Nagila," "Second Chances," "Bart's Confession," and all of the Mouthfeel moments, particularly "Best Band in the World."
