Well, it's funny because my dad, Sal, his birthday is on Valentine's Day, so we call it "Sal-entine's Day," and his favorite song is "The Impossible Dream."

“Fools Fall in Love” from Smokey Joes Cafe.

Even though it was a tragic song that I did in Side Show, people keep asking me a lot of times to sing that at weddings, "You Should Be Loved." Also, "The Music of the Night." It's actually a beautiful song. It's a little more sexy than love long. "I Believe My Own Eyes," from Tommy, I mean, come on. There's a lot great stuff that I've been able to sing. Even Miss Saigon, that tragic love story, with "Sun and Moon." It's hard to pick.

"Loving You," by Stephen Sondheim, pretty great. "Loving you is not a choice it's who I am," that guy writes good lyrics.

"Do You Love Me?" From Fiddler on the Roof. It is one of the scariest things one can ask another person. It is brave and vulnerable. It makes your heart strings pull and your stomach drop. That song shows a different kind of love than the ones we usually see on Broadway. There is something beautiful about how unsatisfying Golde's answers are. But then at the end they say "After 25 years it's nice to know" we have a little glimpse of their deep love for each other. *sigh*

“I Got Love” from Purlie.

I don't know if it's exactly a love song, but I love the song "Worlds Apart" from Big River. I mean, it's kind of a friendship love song, but it's more like a bigger concept. That whole show, that whole score is so incredible. I would go with that as my favorite.

My favorite Broadway love song would have to be the entire bench scene in Carousel. "If I Loved You" is such a classic romantic tune, but encased within the full orchestrated "bench scene" it is a beautiful depiction of the moment two lost souls fall in love.

"I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face" from My Fair Lady. It's so wonderful to see how a stubborn angry man can learn to be moved, tender and humbled in the face of Love. Even though the word love is not mentioned once, we as the audience all know how much he loves this wild cat he taught to be a Lady! And in my mind he never wants to live without her from that day.

I really like "Tonight" in West Side Story. You know, the enegery when you first meet someone and the excitedness that you feel.

There are too many to name. I've had the good fortune of singing some great ones like "Next Ten Minutes" from Last Five Years or "Perfect For You" from Next to Normal, and of course, "Miracle of Miracles" from Fiddler on the Roof. Happy V-Day X

“The Light in the Piazza” from The Light in the Piazza. The music and orchestrations are insanely romantic and beautiful, and Clara explaining that love is everywhere and rushing through her and all around her is exactly how being in love feels to me!!

I think "If Ever I Would Leave You" is to me the quintessential love song. Especially, you can take it out of context- but within that context, I just think it covers all the bases.

I imagine we all have many favorites, but the first Broadway show I saw was the 1957 Bells Are Ringing and although one could certainly choose “The Party's Over” or “Just In Time” from that wonderful score, it's the beautiful “Long Before I Knew You” that has stayed with me.

"Maria" from West Side Story.

"They Were You" from The Fantasticks

“They Can’t Take That Away From Me”

One of my favorite Broadway love songs would have to be "For Good" from Wicked. As love songs go it doesn't depict the usual love between a man and a woman, but the love between two friends and what they have gone through in life. It shows the meaning of true friendship and of the reality that friendships aren't always easy or smooth, but true friends always come out in the end stronger. On another angle it portrays that even the bad things in life make you who you are whether you like it or not. Plus from the outside people will judge and see black/white, good/evil, or in this case green and white. But no one really knows the depth of any relationship until you look beneath the surface and see it unselfishly. Like true friends they forgive and know that even if they never see each other again, being forgotten is not even a possibility.

"First Date / Last Night" from Pasek & Paul's Dogfight The Musical. This song, sung with such ease and humor by Lindsay Mendez and Derek Klena always hits me right in the heartstrings, and so expertly captures the over-thinking and second-guessing-yourself-ness that we've all felt on a first date.

My favorite Broadway love song is "I Turned the Corner" from Thoroughly Modern Millie, sung by the incomparable Gavin Creel. Gavin remains one of my dearest friends in the world & I have such wonderful memories of being in the original company of Millie together...one of which was being on as Millie and singing this glorious Act 2 love song whilst dancing on a ledge.

My favorite Broadway love song is "Forever Yours," from Once On This Island. It's such a wonderful expression of the power and timelessness of true love. Not to mention the fact that the story of star crossed lovers never gets old!

"Last Night Of The World" from Miss Saigon.

It's old school, but "Something Good," from The Sound of Music slays me. Seeing Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer together as a pre teen woke something up in me. Just like Maria, I couldn't resist the captain. It sounds so pure and chaste, but there's an underlying sensuality in that song that still makes me weak in the knees. But then again, nothing captures that free falling feeling of love like, "Changing My Major," in Fun Home. Oh, Joan. May we all have a Joan at least once......

"It Takes Two" from Into the Woods

My favorite Broadway love song, right this moment, is "Taking a Chance on Love" because LaChanze sings it, and Lord have mercy.

I promise it's absolutely not because I am currently in this show but I completely adore the song "What About Love"! The words are everything true love should be. "What about tears when I'm happy? What about wings when I fall? I want you to be a story me that I can believe in forever!" It's kind of perfect

My favorite Broadway love song is “Without You” from Rent. The entirety of the song she speaks about how the world keeps spinning regardless of his presence, but HER world is still nothing without him. To have someone shake your life in such a great way- must be magical.

"Something Good" - The Sound of Music. Because, to the state the obvious…. the lyrics, the melody and Julie Andrews’ voice. But I also love the simplicity of the song. It’s such a beautiful sentiment and it’s interpreted effortlessly.

"Hey There" from The Pajama Game. I am pretty sure it was the first love song that I ever sang in public while I was a camper at French Woods. I love the melody and the simplicity of the song. The words have stuck with me since I first heard them. Also, it was recorded by Sammy Davis Jr., Rosemary Clooney and Sam Cooke. All of their interpretations are very different but equally incredible. It goes out to anyone still singing love songs to themselves this Valentine's Day.

When I was about three years old I was in a production of Carousel, and "If I Loved You" has since been my favorite. However, there is a sentimental song in Tuck Everlasting called "Time" that makes me a basket case. Last year I hid under the piano when it was sung during rehearsals so the cast wouldn't know I was sobbing...although if they see this they'll be looking for it once we start back with rehearsals. ;)
