Hated the show, but I LOVE "Amsterdam". Such a great song!

Meri Beacoup, M. Godard.
Passing Phase makes me cry.
Along with both of the Keys.

You felt the need to bump after 5 minutes? Was there really a need? Is it that dire of a question, what your favorite song from a mediocre show was?

Keys
Merci Beaucoup, M. Godard
Love Like That
Mayday, Mayday
Identity (as weird as it may seem, it reminds me of Jim Morrison so much that I just love it)

Come Down Now is just a great song. I love it.

"Work the Wound"

And while it's not an actual song, Mr. Franklin and Youth's dialogue during the Arlington Hill section got to me every time I saw the show.

blaxx, I made this when the only two shows I knew were Wicked and Beauty and the Beast, cut me some slack. I wish I could change it to some SITPWG or Sondheim reference, but I can't.

"Baptist Fashion Show"

I'll cut you a huge chunk of slack if you say YOU think it was mediocre.

Gosh, that's SUCH a hard question for me...

I'll gladly give you my Top 5, though:
(in no particular order)

01. Keys (It's Alright)
02. Arlington Hill
03. Come Down Now
04. Passing Phase
05. Work the Wound

That's a toughie...the 'It's Alright' part of Keys was the most intense, electrifying moment I've ever had in a theater (each time I saw it).

Closely followed by 'Stoned'.

I always enjoyed 'Church Blues Revelation'. And 'Work the Wound' is beautiful. But I really loved ALL of the songs. There really wasn't one I didn't like.

Definitely "Arlington Hill". In fact that whole Arlington Hill scene is by far my favorite part of the show.

To watch: The call-and-response segment of "Keys."

To listen to: "Freight Train."

I think it is mediocre. It's all just a matter of taste, in my opinion. I would rather see a classic, honest-to-god, broadway show than any of the newer, "contemporary" shows.

Hard decision, but I have to say Come Down Now.

I'm with WickedBeast here. I just don't see any of those songs as being great theater songs. None of them gave me that Broadway tingle. But I did like Daniel Breaker a lot.
