WAITING FOR THE MOON is a beautiful, colorful title that describes the show wonderfully.

URINETOWN was my first thought, but there's something about ONCE ON THIS ISLAND that appeals to me as well

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Caroline, Or Change.

The first thing that came to my mind was Urinetown, too. I also like The Drowsy Chaperone and Sunday in the Park with George, for some reason.

But of course, Avenue Q. Also Woman in White is quite lovely.

Both the early Fred Astaire stage musical "Funny Face" and R&H's "Oklahoma" and a few other shows, I understand, were at one time or other during their development periods entitled "My Fair Lady." Popular name, invited often to the dance, but taken there only once.

I agree with "For Colored Girls...." But for some reason "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" was the 1st to come to mind for me.

Urinetown is ingenious.
I happen to really like Hair because yes, the cast has long hair etc., so the title has a literal meaning, but it symbolizes so much more.

I agree ashley0139, See What I Wanna See is an amazing title for the show. I am also fond of The Last 5 Years.

Evita. It is simple, placing emphasis on the person, which is really the whole show when it comes down to it. I was gonna say Caroline, or Change but somebody already mentioned it. Serves 2 meanings and is instriguing.

The Light In The Piazza. It makes you think about what sort of light they mean, which is symbolic, and it also makes me think of pizza :)

I always liked 110 In The Shade. Much better than The Rainmaker, the play it is based on.

Barefoot in the Park even though it's not a musical.
The Drowsy Chaperone
South Pacific
and
West Side Story are all good titles.

Ok not the cutest or best sounding, but in answer to Best Title I'd have to say "Parade"

[alwy15]

Posted: 5/30/06 at 7:01pm

babyboomer, i was JUST gonna say 110 in the shade. its a very elegant title, and says sooo much about the show.
i think "a new brain" has a fun title.
and "carousel" has as lovely a title as it is a show.

The Drowsy Chaperone.
I mean, seriously. Come on. When it was in previews here in L.A. and nobody knew about it, I dragged my family along to see it just because the title was so damn odd.
