In no Order :

Ladies Who Lunch - Company
The Miller's Son - A Little Night Music
Someone is Waiting - Company
Lesson # 8 - Sunday in the Park with George
A Little Priest - Sweeney Todd
The Right Girl - Follies

I had to edit to add the right girl because for over a month I have not been able to stop singing it!

I have really only seen 3 shows so my list doesn't have much variety.

You know, I hear they have these newfangled contraptions called Compact Discs that allow to to hear a song without seeing it live!! Amazing!

Seriously, though, buy or borrow all the Sondheim recordings you can, at least to listen through once. Some of my favorite Sondheim songs are from shows I've never seen live.

Picking a top five is nearly impossible. But one of my favorites is from "Is This What You Call Love" from Passion.

Call it what you will
This is not love, this is a reverse
Like a curse, something out of control
I've begun to fear
For my soul...

Being Alive from COMPANY
Losing My Mind from FOLLIES
Everybody Says Don't from ANYONE CAN WHISTLE

Being Alive - Company
No One is Alone - Into the Woods

And I'm partial to Bernadette's rendition of Not a Day Goes By - Merrily We Roll Along.
