The first thing that came to mind was The Phantom of the Opera. It made me fall in love with theatre, anyway.

But I have to follow the crowd with Light in the Piazza. Beyond the Clara/Fabrizio love story, Adam Guettel's music is absolutely brilliant. Try "Octet" -- "I would sail across the world / To know the harbor of your arms.

Gorgeous.

While not having been on Broadway in over a decade, I think A Midsummer Night's Dream is extremely romantic. Especially when you add GrooveLily to the mix. I saw their version at Papermill and it ranks as my number one most memorable evening in a theatre.

Light in the Piazza and Phantom of The Opera are two of the most beautiful shows ive ever seen.

South Pacific is also very romantic.

Brigadoon! Nothing is impossible if you love someone enough! What could be more romantic than that????

Ok so this may sound a little odd but I am going for Wicked and not the relationship between Elphaba and Fiyero.
I think there are plenty of undertones to Elphaba and Glinda and the ending is so impossibly sad, I mean For Good,is a heart wrenching love song IMO, love it

Brigadoon would've been my other pick

I agree with Brigadoon. Tommy goes back to Scotland to find fiona enven though he knows that the town isn't going to be there. That's Love.

I'll agree with Whizzer: THE MOST HAPPY FELLA. The romantic ballads that each of the two leads have, both as solos and as a duet, are just wonderful. This whole Frank Loesser show is just wonderful, mostly sung-through. Love conquers all. It needs a revival with a full orchestra, maybe at New York City Opera; they have done it before. Please, no piano version.

For sure The Light in the Piazza. I have never seen anything else that comes close to it.
