1. "Around the World" from "Grey Gardens" (come on, you all knew this was coming from me, right?!)
This is my #1 song. Others are in no particular order. "Will You?," (GG), "What Kind of Woman" (Ragtime-Don't like the show, really, but this song stuck out.), "Defying Gravity," tied with 2 GG songs (I love the score, can you tell yet?!) "Another Winter in a Summer Town" and "Revolutionary Costume".
(That GG score just does it for me!)

I did this a while ago as part of a LiveJournal meme thing, so I'm just copying and pasting. It was limited to one song per composer.

Top 5 Showtunes:
5. "30/90" - tick, tick...BOOM! (A number of songs written by Larson would've been in the top 10, but this is the song from musical theater that I find more relatable than anything else. It also, kind of inexplicably, never fails to cheer me up. Raúl performs it wonderfully.)
4. "Rainbow High" - Evita (Fantastic in the context of the show, and thrilling when performed by a strong Eva.)
3. "New Music" - Ragtime (This is my favorite musical, and so many of the songs are gorgeous, but this one is one of the most brilliant songs in musical theater, I think. On top of being absolutely beautiful and having lyrics that give me chills, it ties the story threads to one another and to the musical's themes.)
2. "Endgame" - Chess (So difficult to choose one song from Chess! This is one of the most thrillingly-written confrontation songs that I've ever heard.)
1. "Finishing the Hat" - Sunday in the Park with George (My favorite song from a musical without question, as well as being one of my favorite songs ever. I'm not even sure there are words to describe how much I love it.)
