What is the most beautiful song from a musical?

Posted: 7/19/12 at 3:44am

My votes are:

I'd Give my life for you- miss saigon
a little fall of rain- les miserables
the movie in my mind- miss saigon
winter's on the wing- the secret garden
bring him home- les miserables
i dreamed a dream- les miserables
sun and moon- miss saigon
stranger in this world- taboo
for good- wicked
defying gravity- wicked
without you- rent
phantom of the opera- phantom of the opera
as long as you're mine- wicked
circle of life- the lion king
javert's suicide- les miserables
stars- les miserables

i know some of these musicals are overrated, but some of the music is just epic. what're your picks?

In no particular order...

"Buenos Aires" - Evita
"I Dreamed a Dream" - Les Miserables
"Bring Him Home" - Les Miserables
"Put on Your Sunday Clothes" - Hello, Dolly!
"Could We Star Again, Please?" - Jesus Christ Superstar

I'm sure I'll think of more in a bit, LOL!

There is No Other Way

Great Sondheim choices.

For some reason the two that immediately came to my mind was You Are Love from Show Boat and If I loved You from Carousel.

"My heart is So Full of You" fro the Most Happy Fella

I'm also partial to "What More Can I Say" from Falsettos - especially since it's one of the few love songs specifically written for a man to sing to another man.

Defying Gravity? Beautiful? I guess people have different interpretations of beautiful music, but I'm slightly skeptical that this is just a 'name your favourite broadway show by listing all the songs from it' thread. Anyway, I'll play.

'So Many People' - Saturday Night
'Finishing the Hat' - Sunday in the park with George
'If I loved you' - Carousel
