I'm sure posts like this have been done before, but let's hear what YOU think! Mine would be (in no special order):
1. This Nearly Was Mine (South Pacific)
2. Ol' Man River (Show Boat)
3. Everything's Coming Up Roses (Gypsy)
4. Being Alive (Company)
5. My Shot (Hamilton)
What were your standards for picking those five? As a stand alone song? As a song that conveys character? As a song that conveys/advance plot? Because you titled this "for the Theater" rather than "from the Theater".
