Currently, I'd say Music of the Night from Phantom.
Boy, that's kind of indicative of what's on Broadway right now. 
Word. Word, indeed.

Posted: 10/16/04 at 3:23pmRight now, "Another Day", "One Song Glory", and "Goodbye, Love". All from RENT.
I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

Posted: 10/16/04 at 4:51pmMy favorite is "When You're Good To Mama" from CHICAGO. When put across properly, its a STUNNING showcase for the performer.
"I say YOU'RE the CUTEST one. No, I say YOU'RE the CUTEST One. And we go on like that from dawn to three."

Posted: 10/16/04 at 4:52pmAt the moment? One Day More from Les Miserables. BUT I can't pick one overall favorite song. No way.
"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."

Posted: 10/16/04 at 5:20pmI have to agree with "Music of the Night". Unless I'm in a sillier mood and then it's "Springtime for Hitler".

White Boys- Hair
Another Hundred People- Company
EVERY SINGLE SONG FROM LES MIS! AHHHHHH.
And
America- West Side Story (that song is such a great dance number)

wickedfan, it's not much of a coincidence we both listed "Our Time." And I know it's cliche but Bring him home, One day more and On my own are chilling.

Posted: 10/16/04 at 7:06pmI have been singing "you'll never get away from me" as a good night song to my 10 month old.
So my dear you think you can get to Broadway. Well, let me tell you something. Broadway has no room for people like you. Not the Broadway I know. My Broadway takes people like you and eats them up and spits them out. My Broadway is the Broadway of Merman, and Martin, and Fontaine, and if you think you can build yourself up by knocking other people down... ...GOOD LUCK... Seinfeld

My favorite changes all the time! I have a bunch of favorites, but...
Now I guess it is "Human Again" from Beauty and the Beast. Because I am going to see it in a couple of weeks. Yay!

Posted: 10/16/04 at 7:42pmI don't think some people read that it's from shows on Broadway now...
#20re: Fav Showtune...
Posted: 10/16/04 at 7:45pmMy favorite show on Broadway right now is "Phantom of The Opera" and my favorite showtune at the moment (they tend to change with mood for me) is "Don't Rain on My Parade."
#21re: Fav Showtune...
Posted: 10/16/04 at 7:48pmGood point! My favorite song from a show on Broadway right now is probably One Song Glory from RENT.

SPLENDID choice, Dry2.
Who else besides Rodgers & Hart would have the courage to write a song deja vu, much less make it an integral piece of the plot?
That song is sixty years old and still TIMELESS. :)
"I say YOU'RE the CUTEST one. No, I say YOU'RE the CUTEST One. And we go on like that from dawn to three."
