Blood Money/Damned For All Time-Jesus Christ Superstar

Don't Cry For Me, Argentina-Evita

Aquarius-Hair


Matchmaker-Fiddler On the Roof

I Don't Know How to Love Him-Jesus Christ Superstar

Your Song-Moulin Rouge

Lady Marmelade- Moulin Rouge

And damn near everything in Across the Universe
 
On My Own - Les Miz

Tango Maureen - Rent

This Nearly Was Mine - South Pacific

The Phantom of the Opera - The Phantom of the Opera

One Night In Bangkok - Chess

Tonight - West Side Story

Let A Woman In Your Life - My Fair Lady
 
Everybody Ought To Have A Maid - A Funny Thing Happened...(Sondheim)

Something Wonderful - King & I (R&H...goosebumps when done well)

Little Girl Blue/The Most Beautiful Girl In The World - Jumbo (R&Hart)

All Of You - Silk Stockings (Cole Porter)

You Gotta Get A Gimmick - Gypsy (Jule Styne)

Marian The Librarian - The Music Man (Meredith Wilson)

But I think SPEAK LOW - One Touch of Venus (Kurt Weill & Ogden Nash) is one of the greatest Broadway songs ever written. The number of people who've covered this - from Billie Holliday to Streisand to John Coltrane - shows what a classic it is...

From OKLAHOMA...
I love LONELY ROOM & OUT OF MY DREAMS.

Another I like is ONE ALONE from The Desert Song.

Probably my very favorite (and there are many)
would have to be MOONFALL. An exquisite bit of music.

I had the opportunity to perform in the National Tour
of The Mystery of Edwin Drood, playing the role of the Reverend Crisparkle.
Every night it was my great pleasure to stand offstage before making my entrance
and listen to the song MOONFALL... simply wonderful. Chilling and beautiful.

As an actor growing up, I started in Musical Theatre.
Of course, that was back when school budgets would support
the Arts and Arts Education. Sad that so many young people
are no longer treated to the great musicals of the past.
