Thoroughly Modern Millie

Millie-I've found myself a green glass love.
Jimmy-That's funny....I found myself an emerald.

I hate those unrealistic love moments in shows. That's probably why I liked Passion...until he actually slept with her.

And Rent...the ups and downs of Mimi And Roger...so realistic to what a true relationship is like.

And Eponine in Les Miserables...I'm sure we could all relate to the unrequited love moments.

But, i think the one that gives me the chills and makes me tear up is when the scarecrow comes to get Elphie...

the fact that Fiyero and Elphie are outcasts and they love each other. Also, the fact that Link can look past Tracy's weight.

On that came to my mind when I read the title is:

Mark: The riot continues. The Christmas tree goes up in flames. The snow dances. Oblivious, Mimi and Roger share a small, lovely kiss.

Another: Your Eyes

I am serious. Up until that moment, I don't believe them, as the "love" between them came so sudden, as do most love scenes in so many musicals. Take Wonderful Town for instance. One moment, he likes the younger sister, then sings a song, and all of a sudden, likes what's-er-face.
Very rare do we see real moments...let's see...
There's Man of La Mancha...but he doesn't love her, he just respects her.
Carousel...that's about as real as it gets...if you're a battered wife...
Aida...now that is love that stands the test of time...
Once On This Island...but she loved him before she knew him. Why did she love him? Because he drove a car?

Let's just say, the best love story was in Ragtime between Tateh and Mother...So hidden, yet, so real. She waited a year, therefore, it wasn't rushed like everything else in musical's.

The beautiful duet "People Like Us" from THE WILD PARTY (LaChiusa version), sung by Queenie (Toni Collette) and Black (Yancey Arias).

"Ah, but there is no one in all of Berlin who is more deserving. If I could, I would fill your entire room with pineapples!" (Cabaret)

That probably tops it for me. I love "It Couldn't Please Me More," and to me, that's just one of the cutest things ever.

And Tony and Maria's "vows" in "One Hand, One Heart" (from West Side Story) get to me, every time.

I love Curly's proposal scene in Oklahoma. (Especially on the 98 London DVD)

"Private Conversation" from SIDE SHOW is an excellent tortured love scene.

This is a corny one but I always loved "Till There Was You" in Music Man lol

I don't know if this counts, but I LOVE the part in Little Women when Jo and the Professor are kissing at the end and Marmee walks on and Jo spins the Professor around and pushes him away.

Oh, I love Till There Was You as well. That is so perfect. I also love when Sarah Brown finds out that Sky said he lost the bet (when he really won) just for her and out of respect. Thats when she realizes that he really loves her. That pause is great

I have to agree, I love Maureen and Joanne's relationship and Mimi and Roger's in RENT. So realistic in the sense that it isnt one of those "Love at first sight, then happily ever after" moments. They actually show the ups and downs, fights and reconciles in the relationships.

the moments leading up to and Suddenly Seymour!
"What Could Be Better" from Baby... awwwwww
I'd Give it All For You... Songs for a New World
All of The Last 5 Years, especially The Next 10 Minutes
I Think We Got Love- Zanna, Don't!

Ohhh yeah I completely forgot about Suddenly Seymour! I love that show and the romance between Audrey and Seymour. *hits forehead for forgetting*

My favourite musical was a love story.

I absolutely ADORED the part when Radames first kissed Aida.
Radames: I could have your "affection" right here, if I commanded it. I want to know if you feel anyything for me... aside from contempt.
Aida: I don't know....
Radames: Then let's find out.
... and he kissed her.

Elaborate Lives. Gah. 'nuff said.

And at the end... I can't remember it word-for-word anymore, but when Radames said he knew there was another world waiting for them, and if he had to search 100 lifetimes (or 100 BILLION lifetimes, if you're Adam Pascal being silly), he would find her again.
