Posted: 7/26/05 at 9:11amI was in a production of THE FANTASTICKS, and my favorite to listen to in that production was MUCH MORE, because the Luisa had such a beautiful voice and her delivery of that song was great. My favorites to sing were THIS PLUM IS TOO RIPE and METAPHOR.

Posted: 7/26/05 at 9:54amI agree with CM2 about Plum - that was a fun song... They Were You and Soon It's Gonna Rain are my two faves...

Posted: 7/26/05 at 10:28amI am not certain that it qualifies as a song, but I adore A Curious Paradox.

It used to not be my favorite, but I just listened to it...and I guess being much older now:
"Try to Remember"

Posted: 7/26/05 at 10:50amI am with Windy. Even as a small child I have always loved "Try to Remember"
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

Posted: 7/26/05 at 2:53pm"Try to Remember." Jerry Orbach singing that song is just sheer perfection.

Posted: 7/26/05 at 7:18pm'They Were You' and 'Soon It's Gonna Rain'. I did this show for quite awhile and I have such a fondness for it. I can still hear our 'dads' singing "plant a turnip, get a turnip...maybe you'll get two"

Beauty: Try to Remember and the whole idea of They Were You. The lyrics of Try to Remember really are incredibly touching, and it embodies the whole depth of the show.
Humor: Never Say No, Plant a Radish
and Much More just because it's so darned cute!

Posted: 7/26/05 at 9:50pmI first heard "Try To Remember" when I was quite young, and I thought it was a lovely song. I still love "Try To Remember" but now it's so much more.
