Isn't "New York, New York" a MOVIE song?

I 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 plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

On 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.

Yes, I'm pinay. And I'm proud of it!

And 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.

All that Jazz

we had a talent show last year, and basically every girl auditioned with this song.

Without question, All That Jazz. Not just now, but since the original Chicago opened.

ConvinceMe2 is dead. Long live BrendanStryker!

Memory 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.
