Halloween from Rent--when the relationships have fallen apart, Mark is certainly alone, and the last line haunts me.

"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

I don't know if it's considered a lonely song but Rent's "Will I" seems like it. The overall tone of the song is solemn. Um...my brain is dead right now but when I think of more, I'll post again. I kno it's not a Broadway song but "Mr. Lonely" fits the bill (hehehe).

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

I have a playlist for such occasions...

A lot of the songs I would suggest have already been mentioned: Learn to Be Lonely, Will I, No One is Alone, etc.

I would also recommend "Leaving's Not the Only Way to Go" from Big River, "I Know the Truth" from Aida, and "What You Own" from Rent. (For non-Broadway, I like Sarah McLachlan's "Fallen", Papa Roach's "Scars", The Killer's "Mr. Brightside, and John Mayer's "Love Song for No One")

I think you mentioned "All By Myself" in the original post. I definitely pulled a Bridget Jones and sang and cried along with that one in the car the other day.

Parsley, I agree. 'Anything But Lonely' is one of my favorite 11 o'clock numbers as well.

I like a medley of Lonely Room (Oklahoma), Lonely House (Street Scene), and Lonely Town (On the Town).

CurtainPullDowner I was JUST about to say that! I love that song. Pretty Lies from that show is also a very good loneliness song, as is Talk Amongst Yourselves. Actually, most of the songs in that show at least stem from the theme of loneliness and masking your true feelings... :P

I hold a degree in Musical Theatre from Montclair State University. It is useless. Now I'm funny for money. Oh, and I sing.

If "Send In The Clowns" (A Little Night Music) ain't lonely, I don't know what is.
