Favorite Romantic Broadway Song

Posted: 1/10/06 at 7:23pm

I have alot that are out there, but I really love listening to Love is my Legs(just because they sing it like a romantic song and it's so hilarious!) and As Long as You're Mine(Norbert Leo Butz and Idina Menzel sing this so beautifully together, I just love it!!

My two favorites are "If I Loved You" (Carousel) and "All I Ask of You" (Phantom).

But they both have to be done WELL, or forget it.

I'm partial to "If Ever I Would Leave You" from Camelot. Also like "Song on the Sand" from La Cage Aux Folles, "With You" from Pippin and while it's more of a seduction than a romance, "Music of the Night" from POTO. I completely agree with Best12bars, though. If it isn't sung well, don't sing it at all.

I'm such a sucker for "All I Ask of You". How can you not listen to it and want your very own Raul, honestly?

I also think "Small Umbrella in the Rain" from Little Women is really cute.

One more..."Take Me As I Am" from Jekyll and Hyde. So gorgeous if you have the right voices.

"Unexpected Song" is so intimately beautiful, it just sends chills down my spine.

SHE WASN'T YOU, the greatest ballad ever written for a Broadway musical---it puts pygmies like NEW MUSIC and crappy junk like LITTLE WOMEN in the shade.
