Posted: 3/30/05 at 9:31pmOut of every song ever in a Broadway/Off Broadway musical which ONE would you pick as your favorite? I think I would say Rose's Turn because every time I listen to it I get so excited and it reminds me why I love theater!
Baby, dream your dream
Close your eyes and try it!

Posted: 3/30/05 at 9:32pmFor some reason, the song that immediately popped into my head was "Suddenly, Seymour" from LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. Don't ask why. It just did.

Posted: 3/30/05 at 9:33pmWhile Miss Saigon is my favorite musical.... ONE SONG GLORY is the song that I kind of view as my own. It has a view like mine, and it reminds me of what I want to accomplish.

If I were to choose JUST ONE song, (Keep in mind, that this is almost impossible) that would have to be
"ANOTHER HUNDRED PEOPLE" from Company.
Not only is it fun to sing, but the music, and lyrics, are incredibly genius.
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel

Posted: 3/30/05 at 9:39pmWhat You Own followed VERY closely by "What Do You Do.../It Sucks to be Me" (although the latter is the story of my life)
"During this performance, please feel free to let your cell phones and pagers ring willy-nilly. However, do remember that there are heavily-armed knights on stage and you might well be dragged up and impaled."

I changed my mind. What You Own.
(You'll probably see me a lot on this thread, changing my mind as different songs come on my iTunes)

Posted: 3/30/05 at 9:41pmOne song....that's a tough one. The cheesy answer is Broadway Baby. It speaks of the plight of the actress.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Posted: 3/30/05 at 9:56pmI have to say The Lady's who Lunch. Yes, it does top a little priest but it does by a tenth of a point. The lyrics have such meaning to them about life and about what you have choosen to be. Sondheim's best song.

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...
