What is the most beautiful song from a musical?

[heatisoninsaigon2]

My votes are:

I'd Give my life for you- miss saigon
a little fall of rain- les miserables
the movie in my mind- miss saigon
winter's on the wing- the secret garden
bring him home- les miserables
i dreamed a dream- les miserables
sun and moon- miss saigon
stranger in this world- taboo
for good- wicked
defying gravity- wicked
without you- rent
phantom of the opera- phantom of the opera
as long as you're mine- wicked
circle of life- the lion king
javert's suicide- les miserables
stars- les miserables

i know some of these musicals are overrated, but some of the music is just epic. what're your picks?

[emlodik]

In no particular order...

"Buenos Aires" - Evita
"I Dreamed a Dream" - Les Miserables
"Bring Him Home" - Les Miserables
"Put on Your Sunday Clothes" - Hello, Dolly!
"Could We Star Again, Please?" - Jesus Christ Superstar

I'm sure I'll think of more in a bit, LOL!

[Skip2]

"If I Loved You"
"We Kiss In A Shadow"
"You'll Never Walk Alone"
"Hello Young Lovers"
"Some Enchanted Evening"
"On The Street Where You Live"
"I Concentrate On You"
"Bring Him Home"
"In Buddy's Eyes"
"I Won't Send Roses"
"(They Say) It's Wonderful"

In Buddy's Eyes
Send in the Clowns
Move On
Anyone Can Whistle
Loving You
Take me to the World
Stay With Me
Not a Day Goes By
There is No Other Way

Great Sondheim choices.

For some reason the two that immediately came to my mind was You Are Love from Show Boat and If I loved You from Carousel.

Subjective, of course, but my choice for most beautiful song from a musical:

"This Nearly Was Mine"

[Wynbish]

Come to me, Bend to me
Bring Him Home
Moonfall
No Moon
No One is Alone

[South Fl Marc]

"My heart is So Full of You" fro the Most Happy Fella

I'm also partial to "What More Can I Say" from Falsettos - especially since it's one of the few love songs specifically written for a man to sing to another man.

[After Eight]

On the Street Where You Live

[Will42]

Please, Kiss Her Now! - Dear World

[MusicalBoy]

Defying Gravity? Beautiful? I guess people have different interpretations of beautiful music, but I'm slightly skeptical that this is just a 'name your favourite broadway show by listing all the songs from it' thread. Anyway, I'll play.

'So Many People' - Saturday Night
'Finishing the Hat' - Sunday in the park with George
'If I loved you' - Carousel

[Mercades]

One hand, one heart.

[kooky]

for me it is..

" I Have Dreamed" The King & I

" This Nearly Was Mine" South Pacific

[Wynbish]

Rebecca Caine singing "I Saw Him Once"

[dreaming]

"Some Enchanted Evening" (as sung by Paolo Szot)
"This Nearly Was Mine" (again, Mr. Szot's rendition)
"Somewhere"
"Tonight"
"Too Many Mornings"
"All I Ask of You" (I'm a romantic and it's a beautiful sentiment)
The entirety of Passion really. (I listen to it straight through)

[SporkGoddess]

Anthem from Chess
Say It Somehow from The Light in the Piazza
Loving You from Passion
No One Has Ever Loved Me from Passion
Il Mondo Era Vuoto from The Light in the Piazza
If I Loved You from Carousel
How Glory Goes from Floyd Collins
