Posted: 4/7/05 at 6:45pmI agree with Tiff.
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Posted: 4/7/05 at 7:56pmOn My Own. gosh, I wanna rip my hair out whenever I hear this song too many times. Like when that one girl sang it on Dawson's Creek.

Posted: 4/7/05 at 7:57pmAnd by "sang it", you mean "lip-synced so badly that Ashlee Simpson wouldn't tap that", right?

"Bring Him Home" is the "On My Own" for men. I must have it on 15 different solo albums.
"What I Did For Love" was absolutely inescapable in the 1980's.
"Do you know ChrisLovesShows?" "Yes. Why, yes he does!"

I love how there are some songs that will _never_ leave this list. I wonder what people will think of musical theatre a hundred years from now based only on these songs.
Oh, and I'll add Send In the Clowns, one of the few overdone songs I still enjoy.

Posted: 4/8/05 at 7:27amWithout question, All That Jazz. Not just now, but since the original Chicago opened.

Posted: 4/8/05 at 9:32amMemory or pretty much an Pantom song. Whenevr I talk to someone that doesn't know about a lot of great musical theater they always start singing Memory or the Phantom of the opera.
