I had a lot of trouble with this because most of my favorite songs are from off broadway shows, but I came up with:
Happiness (Passion)

I think it's pretty obvious. Read my name.
I'm not a gay stereotype. I'm a coincidence.

All the Things You Are in the original choral version. It just digs into the soul.
There are a lot of others but the question implied only one.

Posted: 6/10/05 at 12:29pm"Facade" from either OBC or concept album of J&H. I just love the sound of it, and it's kind of my motto on life. In fact, last year in my senior yearbook my quote was "Look behind the facade."
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

This is really too long now. Conclusion: Broadway songs are like potato chips to me, I can't pick just one.
1. Ted Allen: Everyone has an interesting life if you ask the right questions.
2. Great buckets of Spoffnor, they're going to sing!
3. "I love shrubs that are historical." -Johnny and The Sprites
4. "We're not singing it to you, we're singing it for us." -Rosario Dawson, about La Vie Boheme
5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys
