I wanna say the Walk Like A Man reprise at the end of Act 1 of Jersey Boys because it's were Norman Waxman comes about Tommy's debt who then confronts Norman.

I was wondering when someone would say "Your Fault". That's the first one that popped in my head.
Also, maybe "Could You Use Me?" from Crazy For You. It's wooing confrontation, though.

Posted: 8/29/06 at 1:12pmI agree with a lot of them, but I'd like to add "Another National Anthem" from Assassins.
"Shut up! It's been 29 years!!!" --the incomparable Patti LuPone in her MUCH DESERVED Tony acceptance speech for Gypsy.

My Way or The Highway
