There's been a ton of great new music this season. What's your one favorite song from a musical in the 2011 season?

I think for me it would be "Mother's Day" from WOMEN ON THE VERGE. It's one of the most beautiful songs Yazbek has ever written.

I'm very into 'Goodbye' from Catch Me If You Can.
I'm not sure how it's staged in the show, but I think it could be done incredibly (though I think the show should end there).

"Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!" and "You Can't Do Me," both from Scottsboro Boys (although the latter sounds like several other Kander songs) are the ones I welcome most on the iPod from this year's scores.

Jordan, I also love "Mothers Day". Does the backround music from War Horse count? I have the album and the music is such a great part about the show.

"Go Back Home" from Scottsboro Boys.

I also love "Hey Hey Hey Hey" as well as "Go Back Home" from Scottsboro Boys, but I particularly loved the way the sound was mixed in the Broadway production. I felt like you could hear Jeremby Gumbs' boy soprano parts a lot more in the live Broadway production than you could hear Cody Ryan Wise from the recording.

"Model Behavior", Women on the Verge. So brilliant and cracks me up every time I listen to it.

Most of the songs from Women on the Verge (Lovesick probably just edges out the rest) and Fabulous, Baby from Sister Act.

I don't know about favorite, but most-played on my iTunes is definitely "The Hunters of Kentucky" from Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson.

I feel like I should go with something from Scottsboro which I think had the best overall score, but my favorite song comes from my runner-up score. "Turn It Off" from Book of Mormon. It's exaaaaaactly the kind of inappropriate humor I most love. And it's super fun. AND Rory O'Malley is perfection.

'Fly Fly Away' from CATCH ME

'Model Behavior', 'On The Verge' 'Island' & 'Tangled' from WOMEN ON THE VERGE

Fly, Fly Away is such an outstanding song. I find it odd that something so beautiful is stuck in the middle of such a lackluster score.

I agree with "Fly Fly Away". It is truly amazing. It is not my "favorite song of the season" but I do enjoy "Ten Little Indians and the Great Compramise" from BBAJ. Most of the score from BBAJ is enjoyable.

Every single song from Women On The Verge. I also love Through the Looking Glass and Finding Wonderland.

Minstrel March from Scottsboro Boys (it would be so fabulous if that show won best score, though it obviously won't), and 'Man Up' and 'We Are Africa' from 'Book of Mormon.' If only for the way that Josh Gad pronounces 'Aphhhhrica.' It's amazing how just his annunciation can get so many laughs.
