Rent - One Song Glory, Out Tonight, I'll Cover You Reprise

Wicked - What is This Feeling, Popular

Aida - Gods Love Nubia, Elaborate Lives

Jesus Christ Superstar - Gesthemane (go figure)

POTO - Masquerade (but maybe that's not the song so much as that scene. I just adore that set and the costumes.)

I've heard a lot about Everyone's a Little Bit Racist. Sounds fabulous - is there a soundclip anywhere on the net?

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

"Don't Rain On My Parade" is also one of my favorites, in addition to "I'm the Greatest Star" from FUNNY GIRL. Also add "How Lucky Can You Get" from FUNNY LADY.
