Just did the Bad Song/Good Song thread and thought it would be fun to see what everyone though was the Best Song in a Good Show.

Have fun.

Thnx Jake B for the great thread.

"On the Street Where You Live" from My Fair Lady. It's my favorite classic show tune ever.

The Prologue from Carousel. It's one of the most beautiful pieces of music around.

"Big-Ass Rock" from The Full Monty. Any song that can use humor to capture the pain of depression and suicide so accurately is something special.


Pass it on - Take a kid to a show.
