I am in love with every single song from The last Five Years, but my favourite is proabably "If I Didn't Believe In You" and "I Can Do Better Than That" (does anyone else just love that song?)

I'm just curious... somebody referenced his work on A Long Day's Journey Into Night...as in the recent revival? i'd love to hear more about it , as its one of my favorite plays and he is quite an incredible composer.

I wish I would've known about that benefit earlier, I live about 45 minutes away from Urbana!!

Anyways, I love Hear My Song and I'd Give it all for You from Songs for a New World, and most of L5Y, which is the best musical all the way through ever!!

I am familiar with Parade, Last 5 Years, and Songs for a New World. I have been listening to Songs for a New World more though. I would have to say that "I'm Not Afraid of Anything" and Christmas Lullaby are my two favorites that females sing. One of my favorite male songs on that CD is Steam Train.

Everything JRB writes is amazing.

I can't believe only one other person mentioned each of my favourites:

Dreaming, Wide Awake & Letting You Go
(the latter is brilliant in it's build; the former is just plain genius - why hasn't he finished that civil war musical he was going to use that in?? c'mon, JRB, throw us a bone! It's been far too long since his last show)

I would also like to hear about his contribution to "Long Day's Journey Into Night," so who's got the scoop?

He composed the incidental music for the Irish Rep production starring Brian Murray and Frances Sternhagen, NOT the Vanessa Redgrave/Brian Dennehy Broadway revival.

Someone to Fall Back On is probably one of my favorite songs ever written

But like many, anything from L5Y is awesome. Same with Parade which I was just introduced to like 2 days ago. He is a genius

Jason Robert Brown is amazing. I love the Last 5 years. Totally amazing. My favorite song is Shiksa Goddess, but everything on that album is great.

It was 6 hours, I don't even like to have sex and eat bacon for 6 hours.

Hands down, Nobody Needs to Know. Gets me everytime, and is right on the money with actual feelings in the same circumstances in real life.

Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck- most of all endurance.
