I think either Somewhere from West Side Story (it has such lasting power) or Send in the Clowns has my vote.
I also like Move On and Children And Art a great deal.
"A birdcage I plan to hang. I'll get to that someday. A birdcage for a bird who flew away...Around the world."
"Life is a cabaret old chum, only a cabaret old chum, and I love a cabaret!"-RIP Natasha Richardson-I was honored to have witnessed her performance as Sally Bowles.
but other then that I adore Beautiful from Sunday in the Park with George.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
"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."

I don't like Judi Dench's version of Send in the Clowns necessarily but that's my view. I just like the song.

"Carson has combined his passion for helping children with his love for one of Cincinnati's favorite past times - cornhole - to create a unique and exciting event perfect for a corporate outing, entertaining clients or family fun."
I love Johanna, the "quartet version" in Sweeney. Not sure how you'd classify that one - parts of it in context are kind of amusing. For a comical one, I'd pick Steps of the Palace or God That's Good. So many to choose from! He's a genius.
*edit* changed my mind!
The Overture is part of the show, people. Please shut your pie hole.
