Posted: 1/11/06 at 8:39pm"I Am What I Am" from La Cage would probably have to be number one for me. But "Point of No Return" is a close second.
On a clear day I can see myself for miles

Posted: 1/11/06 at 8:40pm"Children and Art" or "Move On" Sunday in the Park with George just brings me to tears every song. It's amazing.

If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....
Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

Posted: 1/11/06 at 9:17pm"On My Own" from Les Miz. It's cliche, but it's my favorite song period.

"Shut up! It's been 29 years!!!" --the incomparable Patti LuPone in her MUCH DESERVED Tony acceptance speech for Gypsy.

That's really hard.....lets see....
I'm going to maybe say, "The Ballad of booth" from Assassins. It's an amazingly deep song with so many angles and ideas that are not sang, but heard. But its hard to choose just one.
"Listen to the song that I sing and trust me..."

hmm...it's really hard
i have to say Trying Not To Notice from Woman In White
Its a beautiful song
but "Written in the Stars" - Aida
and "All I Ask of YOu " - POTO are a really close second

"Petrified" from TABOO.
Close seconds: "Stranger in this World" and "Safe in the City"

Posted: 1/11/06 at 9:26pmThat is tough. I think I'll go with " Love Changes Everything" from Aspects of Love. I don't think I have ever heard something as complicated as love ever be summed up as accurately and as simply as that song. It is gorgeous.
Keep your morals, I don't have time. Keep your lovers, I'm changing mine!

louder than words from "tick, tick...BOOM!"
"You won't fight without layers of armor
Suit on up and come brace my sword
You look back when the pieces are missing
Hollowed out hope that no time can restore."

Posted: 1/11/06 at 9:44pmMine keeps on changing, but right now I am on an all Sondheim kick, and so I think somthing from Assasians, but it really depends.

Posted: 1/11/06 at 9:55pm"A Little Fall of Rain" from Les Miserables. It still makes me cry every time, as cliche as it is. It's just gorgeous.
