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.

Posted: 6/22/08 at 2:22pmWhile 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.

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

Posted: 6/22/08 at 6:09pmBrigadoon would've been my other pick

Posted: 6/22/08 at 6:44pmI 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.
Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?

Posted: 6/22/08 at 7:22pmI'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.

Posted: 6/22/08 at 7:24pmI agree with all who said The Light in the Piazza
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim
