jcr279: did you mean Skylark? I've never heard of Meadowlark, but you learn something new every day.

For me it's "Unusual Way" from Nine, but only as sung by Luker. I've heard 2 other people do it live & it did very little for me. I should say, BTW, that generally I can't stand her. Find her voice stunning, but all the projected personality of a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

re: The Most Beautiful Musical Theater Songs Ever...

Most of these have been listed- but definitely-

'Music of the Night' (especially as sung by Michael Crawford)
'Impossible Dream' (as sung by Brian Stokes Mitchell- I never liked this song until I heard him sing it)
'Maria'
'Somewhere'
'Carousel Waltz'

And my favorite- 'Sunrise, Sunset' from Fiddler...

Geez, I'm gonna be editing this all night- I haven't seen 'Never Gonna Dance' yet, but I believe it includes my fave Jerome Kern song- 'The Way You Look Tonight'...

I'd go with the Ragtime selections- "Sarah Brown Eyes" and "Wheels of A Dream" are indeed some of the most beautiful, touching songs I've ever heard. "One Hand One Heart" from West Side Story has a similar mood- that is a really beautiful song.

The Most Beautiful Musical Theater Songs Ever...

Oh, I forgot "Alone In The Universe" from Seussical The Musical. 2 friends of mine sang this for Music Festival here, and I cried. I bought the CD right after and it was just as beautiful
