Favorite New Broadway Song#0

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?

"Do you know ChrisLovesShows?" "Yes. Why, yes he does!"

GREAT BIG STUFF

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story... AGATHA CHRISTIE, Life magazine, May 14, 1956

I'm sorry, but I'm really fond of Astonishing!

"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."

Agreed- definitely 'Astonishing'. I also love Maureen's high-end, so 'Days of Plenty" too.

Bump. Any other opinions? I have always wished the Tonys would give a best song award.

i love the entire score to piazza. I also enjoy great big stuff and dirty rotton number.

"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

Also, The Song That Goes Like This and Find Your Grail from Spamalot

I love "Find your Grail." Sara Ramirez is wonderful, and in addition it really is a good song.

There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.
