Male Musical Numbers equivelant to...

Lots Wife & Rose's Turn.

What songs allow a male performer to release the emotion and the notes to raise the hairs of an audience?

Siloquoy (spelling?) from Carousel, maybe?
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.

Interestingly enough, the one that does it for me is "All of My Life" from "Do, Re, Mi"

(gee, NOW I know why I chose that logname).

"What Kind Of Fool Am I?" from Stop The World, I Want To Get Off
"Who Can I Turn To?" From Roar of the Greasepain, The Smell of the Crowd
Those are really the only two I can think of.

The numbers that stood out from the ones I've seen:
1. The Confrontation (Chris' Part), Miss Saigon
2. Stars, Les Miserables
3. Back In Town (Thuy's Part), Miss Saigon
4. Where Is Love?, Oliver!
5. If I Loved You (Reprise), Carousel
6. I Don't Care Much, Cabaret

I'd say "I Am What I Am", definitely.

And "Anthem" from "Chess" and "In My Own Lifetime" from Bock and Harnick's "The Rothchilds"
"A coherent existance after so many years of muddle" - Desiree' Armfelt, A Little Night Music "Life keeps happening everyday, Say Yes" - 70, Girls, 70 "Life is what you do while you're waiting to die" - Zorba

"Make Them Hear You"? Really?

Sure it's a good song, but when I think "Rose's Turn" and "Lot's Wife" I think mental breakdown.

Therefore, the only ones that I think are on a similar playing field are "Epiphany" from Sweeney Todd, "Soliloquy" from Carousel, "Confrontation" from Jekyll and Hyde, and "Betrayed" from The Producers.

Not to threadjack, but what song could be equivalent to "Meadowlark" from the Baker's Wife? It's great in the way that it tells a story and soars beautifully when it comes to the melody.

Any thoughts?

Oh, and if you're a 16 year-old skinny white kid (full disclosure: I'm a 19 year-old skinny white guy), PLEASE do sing "Make Them Hear You" from Ragtime. You demean the very message of it when it's overdone like that. re: Male Musical Numbers equivelant to...

Definately "Gethsemane" from Jesus Christ Superstar, because it start out really big and then mellows out. Emotional all the way through.

As trite and tired as they might be for audition songs...

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Betrayed" from THE PRODUCERS. In fact, it originally contained a section which directly parodied "Rose's Turn", but that bastard Arthur Laurents would not give permission (even though Sondheim and the Jule Styne estate said it was OK).

And yes, "All Of My Life" from DO-RE-MI, written by Jule Styne, has often been nicknamed "Hubie's Turn".
