In honor of gay marriage. Post 'em here.
SWEET CHARITY: I Love to Cry at Weddings
Featured Actor Joined: 6/12/07
It's not been done on Broadway (only the West End), but its on the cast recording and it's beautiful: "To have and to hold" from "The Beautiful Game".
ANNIE GET YOUR GUN: Patti LuPone and Peter Gallagher sing Old Fashioned-Wedding
COMPANY: Madeline Kahn sings Getting Married Today
The Wedding Singer: It's Your Wedding Day
It's Your Wedding Day
"I know the neighborhood would give its consent"...
The Rink: Marry Me
Not sure it's a wedding song per se - but it's staged as one - especially starting at 3:20 when Tune and Twiggy show up...
Chasing the Clouds Away
Looked for a Broadway Backwards version..
Guys and Dolls: Marry The Man Today
Film version...
Funny Girl: His Love Makes Me Beautiful

Wedding Chorale/Beggars at the Feast, from Les Mis (10th anniversary dream cast) -- just to show that there's always another side to the joy.

When I have my big gay wedding I would love them to play "I will Never Leave you" from "Side Show" and "Ill Cover You reprise" from "Rent". Yes I know both songs are a tad out of context but both make my heart skip a beat. I do wish my future husband goes for this, Ill let you know when I finally meet him.
A very touching use of a song (not written for a wedding scene) but a gay couple sued "Look Over There" from LA CAGE AUX FOLLES:
"...somebody loves you more."
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
The perfect wedding song...
Phantom: Barbra Streisand singing All I ask of you.
Let's not forget that gem from Manhattan Melodies...
Somebody's Getting Married
My personal favorite: Sposalizio from The Most Happy Fella.
I can't find a clip though.
Sorry if this is considered cheating.
