Posted: 3/1/07 at 10:01pmI agree about the theme from the hairspray movie. I love that song!
"If we don't live happily ever after at least we survive until the end of the week!" -Kermit the frog "I need the money... it costs a lot to look this cheap!" -Dolly P. "Oh please, Over at 'Gypsy' Patti LuPone hasn't even alienated her first daughter yet!" Mary Testa in "Xanadu" "...Like a drunk Chita Rivera!" Robin de Jesus in "In the Heights"
"B*tch, I don't know your life." -Xanadu After that if he still doesn't understand why you were uncomfortable and are now infuriated, kick him again but this time with Jazz Hands!!! -KillerTofu

I can't believe two people have listed "Bare" as their favorites... that was actually the first that came to my mind for worst. And "Hairspray" was second.
My favorite is "The Light in the Piazza."

Posted: 3/2/07 at 2:43amI agree with a lot of the above suggestions. While it's not massively popular, I've always thought "The Scarlet Pimpernel" was a cute little tune.

There are a few I like, but someone mentioned Dear World's as being the worst, and though it is out of place in that quaint little show, it is hardly a bad song.
But to name some favorites- Cabaret, The Light in the Piazza, Sunday in the Park with George, Company, The Happy Time, gosh there are a lot. That's all I can think of for now.
