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.

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)

Not While I'm Around

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 ).
