God I love him. My favorite song of his is a three-way tie "Goodbye until tomorrow"(L5Y) "The Old Red Hills of Home"(Parade) and "Christmas Lullaby" (S4ANW)

I'd Give it All For You (i think that's the title)
Just One Step
Stars and the Moon (as performed by Audra)

In all honesty I love just about every song he's ever written. But especially anything from Last 5 Years (my favourite show) and Parade. His solo CD is also awesome. He seriously is a genius. I could go on and on about how much I seriously worship this man, lol.

I'd have to put in another vote for "The Old Red Hills of Home," but I'd also have to say from that show "The Factory Girls/Come Up to My Office" (brilliant!) and "All the Wasted Time."

And, I adore "Leo's Statement" and "You Don't Know This Man"

i love ALL of his stuff,
but am really in love with most of Songs for a New World.
Mainly the title song and "On the deck of a Spanish Sailing Ship, 1492."

and i LOVE his work for "Long Day's Journey Into Night." The Prologue is my absolute favorite.

Alright, "I Could Be In Love With Someone Like You" is practically my favorite song in the world so that must be it. It's seconded by "King of the World."

Has anyone heard "And I Will Follow?" Amazing.

"Shiksa Goddess." Maybe because I'm Jewish and it makes me laugh A LOT.

I never thought I'd hear something more powerful than "I Will Follow" or more beautiful than "Someone to Fall Back On," but "Music of Heaven" beats them both. Breathtaking.

I agree that "Someone to Fall Back On" is beautiful.

Yes, Ebonic I am well aware of "And I Will Follow" from Lauren Kennedy's solo CD. It's an amazing piece...when done correctly the emotion in it is mind blowing.

"I'd Give It All For You"

and "L5Y" in it's entirety is just perfect. But if I had to pick... "If I Didn't Believe in You" or "Moving Too Fast"

I was lucky enough to hear Lauren Kennedy perform "Goodbye Until Tomorrow", "Pretty Music", and "And I Will Follow" down at the North Carolina Arts festival, accompanied by the one and only Jason Robert Brown, a few years ago. They were such spectacular pieces!

Lauren Kennedy sings the hell out of anything Jason Robert Brown writes, shes fantastic.

Definatly, Defying Gravity!

Who's Laura Kennedy? It sounds familiar...is she going to be the new Elphaba standby for Wicked in Chicago?

Whoever she is, it's cool that she has her own CD, especially singing a song by Jason Robert Brown.

[bythesword84]

Posted: 12/11/05 at 2:11am

Nah I think shes going to be the Lady of the Lake...woo

[andyf]

Posted: 12/11/05 at 2:14am

Whoa. Not a bad deal for a newbie. First she's understudying Elphaba in the Chicago production and now she's already the Lady of the Lake!

Looks like we've got another Katie Clarke on our hands.

Good for Laura!

Laura/Lauren its all the same to me.

i use "old red hills of home" for auditions a lot.

"all the wasted time" is pretty great.

"flying home" might be my all-time favorite though.
