What's your favorite Sondheim song?
"A Little Priest"
Unless it's an automatic, in which case, it's "Finishing the Hat."

Wow, um...

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

"Something Just Broke"
Automatic: "Finishing the Hat"
BSoBW2: I punched Sondheim in the face after I saw Wicked and said, "Why couldn't you write like that!?"

I think I'd have to go with "Children and Art."
Automatic: "Move On"

UGH. I should say that Gerard Alessandrini's "INTO THE WORDS"
Is even funnier. And I love his Assassins number.

Overall: "Any Moment/Moments in the Woods" - Into the Woods.
Lately: "Move on" from Sunday in the Park
What can I say? I'm a sucker for the carpe diem theme!
Rosencrantz: "Be happy - if you're not even HAPPY what's so good about surviving? We'll be all right. I suppose we just go on."

Posted: 7/25/05 at 12:33amThe Ballad of Booth is great too. Half comedic and half serious and moves between the two perfectly.

Posted: 7/25/05 at 3:41amAll of the ones mentioned I agree with. One that hasn't been mentioned yet: "Losing My Mind" from FOLLIES which has to be the most neurotic love song ever written.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Posted: 7/25/05 at 7:36amGiants in the Sky with the Original guy. I can't get enough of his voice. Can't remember his name at the moment though.

"Not a Day Goes By"!!!!! ::drools::
But there are sooo many. I have a very strong attraction to "Sorry-Grateful", just because everytime I listen to it I think about how damn good the lyrics are and it just reminds me how much I love my Sondheim. <3
