"Comfort and Joy" from Bat Boy. A "duh" answer for those who know me, but there you are!

Also: "One Day More" from Les Mis.

With no comment on the cheesiness or pop-culture factor, "The Gods Love Nubia" really got my blood pumping in AIDA.

'One Day More' - 'Les Miserables'!
'Go Go Go Joseph' - 'Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat'
'La Vie Boheme B' - 'RENT'

And sometimes I like 'Bright New Day' from 'Blood Brothers', but lately, it's been far too slow and jazzy for my tastes. I prefer bright and poppy. Go back to the old ways!!!

I lov "One Day More" from Les Miserables and "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" from The Sound of Music but I think the best end of act one is the fight in West Side Story.

"A Little Priest" is the greatest Act I closer second only to "Everything's Coming Up Roses."
Although there is a reprise of "June is Bustin Out All Over" at the end of Carousel's first act, "Soliloquy" is pretty much the last song in Act I and is wonderful. It's the greatest male solo written for the musical theater.
