I can't believe I'm seeing "At the Ballet" and "Follow Your Heart." I actually really like "We're Okay!"
Anyways, my 4 favorite musicals and my least favorite songs.
A Little Night Music- "You Must Meet My Wife" Oklahoma- "Poor Jud is Daid" But only because sometimes I pass over it when listening to it. Carousel- Seriously can not think of one! But honestly I perfer a lot of the other songs to "You'll Never Walk Alone". Company- "Sorry/Grateful"
Mary Poppins - "Temper, Temper" and "Let's Go Fly A Kite" The King And I - "A Puzzlement" Sunday In The Park With George - "The Day Off" Sunset Blvd - "Every Movies A Circus" Chicago - "Mister Cellophane (I think it's great in the show, just boring when listening to it)
PRIMA DONNA from PHANTOM OF THE OPERA gets old... Even though I adore Carlotta.
"TO LOVE ANOTHER PERSON IS TO SEE THE FACE OF GOD"- LES MISERABLES---
"THERE'S A SPECIAL KIND OF PEOPLE KNOWN AS SHOW PEOPLE... WE'RE BORN EVERY NIGHT AT HALF HOUR CALL!"--- CURTAINS
I also dislike Everybodys got the right (Opening) - Assassins Purpose-Avenue Q Like Zis/Like Zat - DRS My Child Will Forgive Me and Summation and Cake Walk - Parade Spread A Little Sunshine - Pippin All for one - Spamalot Schroder- YAGMCB Sugar or Green Green Dress - Tick Tick Boom
'Something' in The Witches of Eastwick. I assumed that the song was a joke but it always fell rather flat, appearing to be just another pretty song. At least it's a lot shorter now...
'Little People/Castle on a Cloud' from Les Mis. I just don't like children singing.
'One more kiss' from Follies. I understand why it's in the show and I wouldn't want it cut, but it's just not my kind of song and I almost always skip the track.

munk! Ballad of Guiteau and One More Kiss? I can kida see One More Kiss, as I think the best version is on the British Diana Rigg/Julia Mackenzie version--truly ghostly.
Here I go:
Company: Sorry-Grateful Ragtime: Gliding--whoever mentioned that one was dead-on. Sweeney: Green Finch and Linnet Bird Charity: Too Many Tomorrows
OMG, "Green Finch and Linnet Bird" is your least favorite song in Sweeney Todd? That's one of my favorites! I'd never list that as my least favorite from Sweeney Todd!
Any of the Wizard songs in Wicked (sorry joel old boy love ya) -The Man with a hundred women in Lippas Wild Party, (its not even on the CD its so bad -Def and I agree with many of you Today 4 U is one of my least least favorites
Not to fond of OKLAHOMA? in DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS now that I think about it... But IMO, it doesn't take away from the whole wonderfulaweseomeness that is the show... and it IS funny in context.
"TO LOVE ANOTHER PERSON IS TO SEE THE FACE OF GOD"- LES MISERABLES---
"THERE'S A SPECIAL KIND OF PEOPLE KNOWN AS SHOW PEOPLE... WE'RE BORN EVERY NIGHT AT HALF HOUR CALL!"--- CURTAINS
I used to hate "Agony" until I saw Greg Edelmann and Chris Seiber do it in the revival. They made it so funny, that I would have been perfectly content to skip the rest of Into the Woods and let those two just do standup.
Although it is entertaining sometimes, A Little Bit of Good from Chicago isn't an especially great song. One More Kiss bores me to death (from Follies). Not a huge fan of Blow High, Blow Low from Carousel, although it's not unbearable. It feels as if it was thrown in to showcase the male DeMille dancers. Actually, the other 2 in my top five- South Pacific and Light in the Piazza include no songs I wouldn't mind deleting.
RENT - 'Contact' The Last Five Years - 'A Part Of That' (although as I adore the entire show, that was *hard* to pick out ;_; ) Les Miserables - 'A Heart Full Of Love' (again, really hard to pick one out ;_; )
The Last 5 Years- Climbing Uphill, it just plain bugs me. Les Miserables- In My Life, I didn't like it prior to the musical of the same name, but now it just makes it worse. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels- Ruffhousin' Mit Shuffhausen, while it's HYSTERICAL during the show, I always skip it on the cast recording. Aida- The Gods Love Nubia. Gah. tick, tick...BOOM!- Sugar, it's just kind of pointless...
Santa Fe - Rent I Know Where I've Been - Hairspray Something Bad - Wicked Accident Waiting To Happen - The Drowsy Chaperone All For One - Spamalot My Friend, The Dictionary - Spelling Bee
Haha, these are my least favorite from some of my favorite musicals, since I just have too darn many.
