*** What is your favorite Show Tune? ***

[jerseyrugger76]

Another favorite, not so much because it's from a musical, but rather because it's based on the Polovetsian Dances, a classical piece by Alexander Borodin, that I know from my orchestral work. You might recognize this from the musical Kismet.

while I appreciate your contribution, I am really thinking more about songs like "somewhere over the rainbow" those kind of showtunes.

Aha my bad, different meaning through the transatlantic medium.

I LOVE this song from the west end version of Jeckyll and Hyde...and was so sad when it didn't make the broadway cut. I wish Anthony Warlow had been in the broadway cast.

I just like his voice better than cuccioli.

Another fav from jekyll and hyde:

Michigan Rag

Mr. Cellophane

Music of the Night

Can't think of anything else right now. I like opera better than show tunes but I know there are more that I like.

Cheers,

"Mr. Cellophane" reminded me of the "Cell Block Tango" (below). Catherine Zeta-Jones does an incredible job here, as does the rest of the cast.

I'm not a big fan of musicals, but I really like The King And I and West Side Story.

Favorite male solo: "This is The Moment" from Jekyll and Hyde
