What's your favourite song from a musical?

[Junibug]

Just been listening to 'Bring Him Home' from Les Miserables. I think it's got to be my most favourite song from all the musicals. Brings a tear to my eye every time!! Such amazing lyrics.

What's yours?

I love that too. The choreography there, with all the hats and canes and parasols was just timed perfectly. The monochrome colour scheme worked so well to. It's very striking!
I think Cecil Beaton won an Oscar for costume design that year.

@Junibug how can you seriously expect us to pick just ONE song from the many many many musicals there are??? That's so hard!

I find "Slipping Through my Fingers" from Mamma Mia an absolute tear-jerker!
I love "One" from A Chorus Line, "Another Day of Sun" from La La Land, "You'll Be Back" from Hamilton, "One Night Only" from Dreamgirls, "Oh What A Night" from Jersey Boys, "All That Jazz" from Chicago, and soooo many from Hairspray it's just too difficult to pick just one. It really is.

No. 1 Climb Every Mountain, Sound of Music.
But also love:
Stranger in Paradise, Kismet.
You'll Never Walk Alone, Carousel.
Where is Love, Oliver

Ooh such good songs! And lots that I've not heard before so think I need to find the soundtracks on Spotify. Thanks everyone 😄

Oh so many, but today I've been hollering out Sunshine on Leith.

Have not heard of Hamilton as yet. Hopefully it will be hitting our shores as well.

I was just thinking the same thing...

"When I grow up" from Matilda.

I was in absolute bits when the children sang it in the west end production we went to. So we're lots of the other mums!

Somewhere west side story gets me every time though
