What are your favorite broadway songs to sing? I am looking for new songs to tackle for myself and my voice students. I'm getting tired of all the same songs. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Alot of them already posted I sing, but for the past couple of days I've been singing "Green green dress" from Tick...Tick...BOOM! It's not a hard song, but it's enjoyable. :)

"There's a fine, fine line" - Avenue Q
"Heart and Music" - A New Brain
"Brother" - Bright Lights, Big City
"Lonely Pew" and "Listen to Jesus, Jimmy" - Reefer Madness (really amusing, however inappropriate)

I like to pretend I can sing the songs from Wicked...
One of my favorite songs to sing (especially in the car or getting ready in front of a mirror) is "Rose's Turn" from Gypsy.

I, too, love "New Music" from Ragtime. I wish I had some idea of what was going on onstage so I can visualize it...

A lot of ALW stuff

Anything but Lonely - Aspects of Love
Love Changes Everything - Aspects of Love
Tell Me On A Sunday - Tell Me On a Sunday/Song & Dance
Unexpected Song - Song & Dance
I Don't Know How to Love Him - Jesus Christ Superstar

I'm not all that big of an ALW fan, but a lot of his stuff feels good in my voice.

As far as songs that randomly get stuck in my head for excessive periods of time (but I don't mind, because I like them)...

Giants in the Sky - Into the Woods. I ALWAYS seem to have this tune in my head.

The Actuary Song - I Love You Because. I heard the song off of the demo recording on the website, and it pretty much hasn't left my head since. It's a fun song.

Halloween- RENT
I Love You Because- I Love You Because
Another Saturday Night in New York- I Love You Because
Dirty Rotten Number- Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
