The title song to Hairspray the movie was much better than the title song in the musical.
I thought they should have found a way to incorporate that one.

Best-Company and Man of La Mancha and (though I don't totally love the show, I'm a sap, so) Beauty and the Beast
Worst-Hairspray and Oliver (that song irks me)

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.

Company & Light in the Piazza, by far.
I have a total soft spot for She Loves Me, though.

Posted: 3/1/07 at 7:08pmThe most beautiful, without a doubt, is "the Light in the Piazza". Probably the most unforgettable, however, is "The Phantom of the Opera" Not necessarily the best, but it's the most catchy in my opinion. The title song from Rent is just annoying, in my opinion.

Mamma Mia! isn't too horrible. Beauty and the Beast is a classic, of course. Little Shop of Horrors is fab as well.
The Color Purple and Spelling Bee are downers, though.
