I like "Send in the Clowns" and "The Miller's Son" from "A Little Night Music." I also like "Agony" from Into the Woods.

I love "The Miller's Son" as well. I guess for me it's sort of in between moving and comical.
Oh, and for comical I definitely love "There's Always A Woman"...at least as Alice and Emily did it in DC. (Forget what it was cut from though. But it makes me laugh. FISH!!!!!)

On the cast recording of SIMPLY SONDHEIM : 75th Birthday Salute, there is a recording of "Not While I'm Around" and "Children Will Listen" as a duet, it is sung by Kim Larsen and Kelly Ground, I think the combination of the songs sung together are done so amazing, I cry every time I hear it!
"In the U.S.A.
You can have your say,
You can set you goals
And seize the day,
You've been given the freedom
To work your way
To the head of the line-
To the head of the line!"
---Stephen Sondheim
I've always had a soft spot for "Children Will Listen". The entirety of Sunday in the Park with George save 2 or 3 songs. And definitely "Franklin Shepard Inc." too.
Parhaps a better thread would be pick your favorite song from each Sondheim show. That'd still be hard though... Updated On: 5/23/08 at 09:32 PM
Being Alive Sunday A Weekend in the Country The Ladies Who Lunch On the Steps of the Palace I'm Still Here Johanna Someone in a Tree Move On And all of the opening numbers.
And a few less obvious choices: Franklin Shepard, Inc. The Ballad of Guiteau Kiss Me If Momma was Married
