Favorite New Broadway Song

Posted: 5/15/05 at 1:59am

I was excited to see this as a category in the Broadway.com audience awards. The nominated songs are

Brooklyn - "Once Upon a Time"
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels – “Great Big Stuff”
Little Women – “Astonishing”
Spamalot – “The Song That Goes Like This”
Spamalot – “You Won't Succeed on Broadway”

What's you're favorite? I love "Great Big Stuff" and "The Song That Goes Like This."

Any shocking omissions?

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

I love astonishing, but I think that the best song from Little Women is Some Things Are Meant To Be
