I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

This thread can not be complete without:

OOOOOOOOOOOOKLAHOMA!!!!!

seriously, it's one of my faves.

Also, "Hello, Dolly", "Dreamgirls", "Company", "Hair", "La Cage Aux Folles", "Me and My Girl", "No NoNanette", "Purlie", "Prologue: Ragtime", "A Year With Frog and Toad", and :You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" have awesome title songs, along with those mentioned already.

But the best is "Hello, Dolly!". No question.

My all-time favorite, though, is Oklahoma. That is a feel-good song if I ever knew one.

How To Succeed

---

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.
