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'm obsessed with that song. That's a great one.

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.
No one is alone.

Posted: 8/29/06 at 1:17pmLaura/Glyde Confrontation in WIW is my favorite, plus it was staged very well.
How to properly use its/it's:
Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

I think "The Life" must be the show that has the most confrontation:
Go Home
I'm Leaving You
My Way or The Highway
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
