Favorite New Broadway Song

[ChrisLovesShows]

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?

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

I'm with Jazzysuite82-Say it Somehow from Piazza is the best.

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

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

[jonartdesigns]

I love Here I Am from DRS!

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.
