Does anybody have a specific favorite soliloquy? I can be musical or not.

Valjean's Soliloquy. :)

I'd have to only go with only musical ones, sorry (not that up on my Shakespeare).

"Soliloquy" (Carousel)
"Javert's Soliloquy/Suicide" (Les Miserables)
Does "Epiphiny" count? If so, that one as well.

This is very cliche, but I really enjoy "Halloween" from Rent.

I always love the end of Jersey Boys where they each talk about what happened to them in recent day.

Musical- Carousel, hands down

Play- Prospero's at the end of the The Tempest. Simply beautiful; I cry just reading it.

Favorite Soliloquy? Why "Soliloquy" itself! (You know, from Carousel?)

"Valjean's Soliloquy" and "Apology to a Cow" (Batboy)

In a musical, wouldn't any solo where the actor was alone onstage constitute as a soliloquy?

I thought the thread title was inquiring as to which is the best rendition of SOLILOQUY - which means that for me, there is only one SOLILOQUY

"My boy Bill..." from CAROUSEL.

I have twin favorites(both are a bit cliche)

I Don't Know How TO Love Him - Jesus Christ Superstar
Back To Before - Ragtime

Duets that serve as soliloqueys

People Like Us - Wild Party
How Could I Ever Know - The Seacret Garden

"Soliloquy" from Carousel.

Definitely Gwen Verdon version of Charity and Roxie (though I don't know if Roxie counts since she's talking to the audience) also I think that "Fire Within Me" from Little Women was very moving.

good point daspazoo about musical characters on stage.
