I love the harmonies in Seasons of Love

The Little Shop Urchins are great with the harmonies on the new cast CD

Jon, I agree----the harmonies throughout WITCHES OF EASTWICK are great, particularly on "Something" and "Look At Me." Hell, anything the three women sing together is great.

There's a boatload in "City of Angels", showing just how much Jazz influenced Cy Coleman. That score screams from beginning to end with some of the chunkiest chords, and tightest harmonies Broadway had seen up to that point. Ed Kleban also did some amazing stuff with "Under Seperate Cover" from "A Class Act", but Sondheim and Bernstein seemed to somehow be able to interweave so many complex harmonies, and chords, that trying to pick one or two would make my little nerdy brain implode...and that would hurt. A lot.

The G flat and F natural aren't played together in a chord; they're played separately. It's a melody that pops up throughout the show.

Yes, I should have clarified.

The notes form a melody, not a chord.

There's a part in Carousel , the revival, during "if I Loved You" where Billy is speaking and he says "I don't know what it is...you look up at me with that little kids face" and the underscore, It makes me MELT! EVERYTIME.

And in "Sunday in thwe Park..." where Dot says "And he burns you with his eyes....and he's never really there" that whole part...I love!

And the trio during PASSION...HOT HOT HOT!

In the Into the Woods finale... on "sometimes the spell may last...past what you can see...and turn against you". On "you" it just always reminded me of a waterfall or something...love it.

I love in Songs for A New World, On the Deck of a Spanish Sailing Ship, when they say "stop, take a look at the children, at the children who believe in this promised land." It gives me chills.

I love in "By My Side" when they sing...and I'll TAKE YOUR HAND...
its gorgeous.

Also I love Alice and Emily's version of "Live With Somebody You Love" as well as "Two's Company"...both have wonderful harmonies and they sing them beautifully.
