Favourite Title of a Musical

You could list endless musicals, but select a few titles of musicals which you just love, or if not love, appreciate that they are good titles! A few that made the shortlist: Company, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (Play, I know) but my two favourites have to be:

A Little Night Music - just love the image that I get when I think of this, summer in the country, subtle music in the background, wind blowing curtains(!)

Spring Awakening - again, good imagery e.g. birth/rebirth, sexual awakening, flowers blooiming in springtime etc.

What's yours?

"O, Oysters!!!," an off-Broadway revue of long ago.

And an oddity of even longer ago,
"The Venetian Glass Nephew," based on a quirkily charming book.


And some others:

"The Crystal Heart"

"Kittiwake Island"

"Love and Maple Syrup"

"Pretzels"

"A Bistro Car on the CNR"

Not musical, but I agree that Tennessee Williams has (in addition to the aforementioned CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF) some gorgeous titles:

A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE

THE GLASS MENAGERIE

SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH

Not only are they thought-provoking, but they trip off the tongue.

A Chorus Line.

Joan Rivers wrote a comedy about 40 years ago called "Fun City" which closed quickly.

She wanted to call it "The New Neil Simon Play" but was overruled.

That is the best title I have ever heard.

Wouldn't call it a 'favorite' but Urinetown gets the best reactions from everyone I've ever mentioned this as a show title.
I of course, have to go into the whole story about the guy who visited Europe on a shoestring budget...he write his story..they turn it into a musical...and the rest is history.

IMO, Urinetown was as clever and fun as Drowsey Chaparone and Spelling Bee. I enjoyed them all! Wish I could say the same for much of the offerings in NY today.

The layered meanings of 'Pacific Overtures' has always wowed me, but I must deliver the cake to "Rachael Lily Rosenbloom (and don't you ever forget it)"
