Favorite Musicals?
Bside's thread made me think we also need a musicals thread! What are some of your favorite musicals, and what songs do you love most from them?
Here are a few of mine:
The Sound of Music - "Edelweiss," "Do, Re, Mi," "Sixteen Going on Seventeen"
Mary Poppins - "Spoonful of Sugar," "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
OKLAHOMA! - "People Will Say We're In Love" duet, "Out of My Dreams," "Lonely Room"
My Fair Lady - "I'm Getting Married in the Morning," "I Could Have Danced All Night," "Without You"
Lady in the Dark - "My Ship" and "the Saga of Jenny" (Okay, I've never seen this show, but those songs rule)
Brigadoon - "Almost Like Being in Love"
Silk Stockings - all of them, can't pick one
If you haven't seen this, rent it! Cyd Charisse + Fred Astaire + fantastic score, dancing, and costumes = SWOON.
Victor/Victoria - "Le Jazz Hot," "Crazy World." I like the movie better than the show. Rent this, too!
I'll stop there for now. Now you guys go!
Edited: to make the list easier to read.

Re: Favorite Musicals?
Somebody once said, it's the soul that matters. Baby who can really tell, when two hearts belong so well?

Ok, confession: I'm not big into musicals. I like them when I see them, but I don't seek them out, so I really don't have much to contribute. I'm a big fan of Phantom, but Deburnin already mentioned that one.

Mamma Mia: Honey Honey, Thank You for the Music
Phantom: Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
Jesus Christ Superstar: I Don't Know How to Love You
Oliver!: Where is Love?
Annie: Maybe
Grease: I've Got Chills, Hopelessly Devoted to You
Hairspray: Good Morning Baltimore, Come So Far, Without Love, I Can Hear the Bells
Etc.
I could go on forever....

Meeee tooooo
Wicked: Dancing Through Life, Defying Gravity
Oliver!: You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two, I'd Do Anything
Fiddler on the Roof: Tradition, If I Were a Rich Man
Annie- 'Little Girls" (I think, I loved singing that.
I wish so hard that I had a good voice!
I'm also slapping myself upside the head for forgetting to include Fiddler, Cate. I love "If I were a Rich Man" and "Anatevka."
B&W, Grease is good, too.
Desert--Chicago rules, too. "Funny Honey" is one of my faves, along with "Nowadays" and of course "All That Jazz."

Now I'm craving musicals... think BF will let me hijack the TV tonight to watch Chicago?
[QUOTE]Gosh, how'd I forget South Pacific and Avenue Q and Chicago? Some of my favorites!!! <strong>Now I'm craving musicals... think BF will let me hijack the TV tonight to watch Chicago?</strong>

South Pacific! Man, I forgot to add that one, too. Some Enchanted Evening? Wash that Man Right Outta My Hair? Classic and irresistible. I wish I'd gone to see the revival at Lincoln Center. Gah.
ETA: Has he seen Chicago before? I don't think it's terribly un-guy-friendly.
