mine is Gimme, Gimme from Throughly Modern Millie...no one does it like Sutton, but the song is amazing!!!

Definetly "Unexpected Song" from Song and Dance. "All for Laura" from Woman in White and "Don't Rain On My Parade" from Funny Girl. Those are top three for me.

I think Rose's Turn from Gypsy has to be mentioned in the category of "showstoppers"

"Lot's Wife"

"Lullaby of Broadway" 42nd Street w/ Jerry Orbach
"Seventy Six Trumbones" Music Man
"If I Were a Rich Man" Fiddler
"Soliloquy" Carousel
"Hello Dolly" Hello Dolly

Okay...I really can't think of any modern shows that have a true "showstopper" to me...but of course, I am not a huge fan of the modern pop musical. Sue Me.

Do Act I finales count as showstoppers? I always thought they didn't count because the show stops anyway.
My choices:
Rose's Turn-Gypsy
Some People-Gypsy
Take Me or Leave Me-Rent
Could I Leave You?-Follies
No Good Deed-Wicked (yes,I said it!)
Funny Honey-Chicago
We Both Reached For The Gun-Chicago
Shy-Once Upon A Mattress
Don't Tell Mamma-Cabaret
I Dreamed A Dream-Les Miserables
On My Own-Les Miserables

THE LIFE OF THE PARTY and POOR CHILD from THE WILD PARTY, THE STORY GOES ON from BABY and WHEN I LOOK AT YOU from SCARLET PIMPERNEL.

I'm particularly fond of "Comfort and Joy" from Batboy

[jasobres]

Posted: 12/13/05 at 8:38pm

"Betrayed" from The Producers, particularly, the musical version, because it has that long "Intermission" pause that literally stops the show.

I would have to say Lily's Eyes, at least the productions I have seen. I also love Bring Him Home from Les Miserables.

I never thought "gimme, gimme" was that big of a show stopper. Maybe I expected too much.

"Look at the Sky" Urinetown or "Run Freedom Run"
