Favorite Song from a musical?

zeitgeist4 · Gucci

I've only seen the RENT movie once, but I remember liking one or two that Rosario Dawson sang. I've never seen a Broadway musical IRL.

Although they aren't Broadway musicals, I like the "movie musicals" Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Moulin Rouge. I don't know if I could pick just one from either of those movies.

ILoveChoo · Hermes

ooh, I love showtunes too!

my favorites are probably Piddle, Twiddle, and Resolve from 1776, or On the Steps of the Palace from Into the Woods.

twinkle · Coach

I looove the Hairspray soundtrack!

Mandy · Kate Spade

i love the entire soundtrack to phantom of the opera. light my candle from rent is great too.

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

I also love On My Own from Les Miserables, and All That Jazz from Chicago.

boobaby · Kate Spade

I usually don't like show tunes, but I love, love, love the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack. It is impossible to pick a favorite song! The weird thing is, I grew up without religion, I'm not a big theater fan, and the whole thing is sooo 70s, which normally annoys me, and yet it all works.

laken1 · Hermes

I've never been to a live show but I absolutely love the He Had it Coming song in Chicago...

ETA: that's what it is elle, the Cell Block Tango - I just want to dance like those girls

Elle · Hermes

Great Big Stuff from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Cell Block Tango from Chicago

blubirde · Chanel

So many to pick from!!

I love almost every song from Crazy for You. Gershwin just gets me right there, ya know? But especially Someone to Watch Over Me. It makes me cry when it's sung by the right person.

I also love There's No Business Like Show Business from Annie Get Your Gun. So cheesy and fun.

If we're talking movie musicals, Moulin Rouge's One Day I'll Fly Away can't be beat. I had to go listen to it right now, just to hear it.

Lilykind · Hermes

All I Ask of You (the first time it's sung, NOT the reprise) from Phantom of the Opera. My BF and I consider it our song.

valenciana · Dooney & Bourke

oh geez...i'm kind of closeted musical-lover...plus sometimes if i'm home alone, i'll sing and dance along...

i really like:

A Little Fall of Rain from Les Miserables
One Song Glory from Rent
All That Jazz from Chicago
Open a New Window from Mame
I Cain't Say No from Oklahoma!
Too Darn Hot from Kiss Me, Kate

okay, there's lots more, but there's a few

for movie musicals, i love Moulin Rouge, Willy Wonka, and the Sound of Music, but you can't beat Singin' in the Rain, it's the best!

see, i'm a musical nerd...

luckyclover · Dooney & Bourke

ahhh I love musicals! It's so hard to pick one song from them....I just sing along to the whole movie lol.

Moulin Rouge...the guy's voice is just great! Parts of the movie are annoying but I still watch just to hear him sing lol.

Grease.

Annie (I must have overdone this one as DH has now banned it from our house lol)

Phantom of the opera

"climb the highest mountain" The sound of music

"If I was a rich man" Fiddler on the roof

"do you hear the people sing" Les Miserables

My fair lady

jaymiek · Coach

Another Les Miserables fan here. I'm going to go see it in LA in June. so excited!

anyway these are my faves-

"I Dreamed a Dream" and "On My Own" - Les Miserables

"Send in the Clowns" - A Little Night Music

anything from "Phantom of the Opera"

"Sun and Moon" - Miss Saigon

halleybird · Hermes

I think my favorite is probably "Do You Hear the People Sing?" from Les Miserables. It makes me want to fight a revolution. I also like "Who Am I?" from Les Mis, because it's so cool when they sing at the same time.

I also really like "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" from Phantom. And the organ music from "The Phantom of the Opera" always gives me chills.

Shello · Kenneth Cole

I loooooove musicals! I'm going to have to go with the entire Rent soundtrack since Rent is my favorite musical, but my favorite songs from it are One Song Glory, Take Me or Leave Me, and Goodbye Love (just cuz of the strong emotional impact). Defying Gravity from Wicked and the Cellblock Tango from Chicago are definitely high up on my list though. I think Into the Woods also has some great songs, and Les Mis of course...and well, I could go on forever but I have to go to bed soon.

Maat · Kenneth Cole

Good poll! I love Show Tunes as well!

Point of No Return - Phantom of the Opera
Music of the Night - Phantom of the Opera
Angel of Music - Phantom of the Opera
On My Own - Les Mis
A Little Fall of Rain - Les Mis
One Song Glory - Rent
Another Day - Rent
Light My Candle - Rent
I Should Tell You - Rent
I Still Believe - Miss Saigon
Her or Me - Miss Saigon
Now that I've Seen Her - Miss Saigon
Easy as Life - Aida

erin · Chanel

anything from phantom, and most songs from les mis... but my favorite is probably "i only want to say (gethsemane)" from jesus christ superstar.

bex · Chanel

i was adelaide in Guys and Dolls one year and my all time favorite song to sing is "Adelaide's Lament"

i also like "i want to be a producer" (i dont think that is the actual name) from the "Producers". after we went to see it- i couldn't stop singing it.
