"Another Hundred People"
"Being Alive"
and I really like "Your Fault" from into the woods, just because it sounds sort of awesome.

"Being Alive"

Also like "The miller's son", "I'm not getting married today" and "Somewhere" that other's have nominated, and love the rhymes in "Mr. Goldstone" from Gypsy. And "Maria" from West Side Story.

Yeah, I saw the show in Baltimore a few month ago and I thought it was okay but when I look back I loved it. The women who played Petra was phenomenal and she was beautiful.

I tried to go see the show, but I never had a chance to go. It's a shame because I would've loved to see Dench and Walsh in their roles.
