"Music of the Night"

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.

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'...

Depends on what you mean by beautiful...

I think "Confrontation" from Jekyll and Hyde is a beautiful song.

"They Were You" from The Fantasticks
"Tell Me On A Sunday"- The only ALW song that is worth anything
"Unusal Way" from Nine
"Sailing" from A New Brain
"Simple" from Nine
"Anyone Can Whistle" from Anyone Can Whistle
"All The Things You Are"

"Losing My Mind" from Follies
"Sunday" from Sunday
"The Carousel Waltz" from Carousel

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.

Mine would have to be "WHY" from Tick Tick Boom.
The lyrics really hit home and I think the melody is quite pretty.

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
