Favorite Male Sondheim Solo

I'm looking for some songs to do in my voice class next semester, what are some of your favorite Sondheim solos for men? Thanks.

re: Favorite Male Sondheim Solo

Giants.in.the.Sky.

hands down, my favorite.


(although Marry Me a Little is a great song too but its done by both males and females so I don't think it counts)
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

re: Favorite Male Sondheim Solo

NO ONE HAS EVER LOVED ME ( PASSION) but the extended version sang in the London production which includes I LOVE FOSCA. If you have heard the Michael Ball version, it is incredible.

I REMEMBER - was this originally sung by a female? I thought I heard it sung by Anthony Perkins in the original TV production - I could be mistaken, though. It is my favourite Sondheim song. Have you heard the Christmas version ( with added lyrics) by Barbra Streisand.

Another song for a female is BROADWAY BABY - but I have heard it sung by Michael Ball in a CD of a Sondheim tribute concert in London and it worked out fine ( camp-sounding re: Favorite Male Sondheim Solo).
