"Say it Somehow” from The Light in the Piazza.

So many beautiful, sensual, powerful, touching songs, but OH the towering feeling when my love Mark (Berman) serenades me from his piano with "On the Street Where You Live" from My Fair Lady.

“Time” from Was by Joe Thalken and Barry Kleinbort.

My choice would be "The Origins of Love" from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. First of all I absolutely love this score, but this song really personifies the absolute romanticism that I believe in when it comes to love. The idea that we are one half of a whole and the only way to feel whole is to find our other half is both daunting and beautiful. I luckily found my other half, Jenny Lee Stern, so it makes it a little less daunting.

A favorite love song written for Broadway... "My Funny Valentine" from Babes in Arms. The simplicity of finding the one thing only you could love. It has also been recorded on over 1300 albums by over 600 artists. But, the first song that came to my mind was, "God Only Knows" from Good Vibrations. A song that Paul McCartney has called one of the greatest love songs ever written. I got to sing that song in the show. I also met my wife, Amanda Kloots-Larsen, during that show and sang it to her on the altar.

Valentine's Day is my wedding anniversary with Steve Bakunas. Eight years this year. One of my favorites is "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful" from Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella, now open on Broadway and soon be a huge success. Its gorgeous music brings us hope and joy! I love this song in particular because it is honest and romantic!

"Say it Somehow" from The Light in the Piazza.

My favorite Broadway love song has certainly become 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' for all the love it continues to bring me from my audience.

Hands down, I would have to say “Love Can't Happen” from Grand Hotel: A real shiver-down-the-spine love song – and I dedicate it for Valentine's Day to my girlfriend, actress Helen Anker.

“Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" by Cole Porter. I just think it’s such a beautiful song. Ok, yes it’s slightly dramatic – "Ev'ry time we say goodbye I DIE a little." But I guess once you've really felt that love sick feeling, it makes sense. Maybe dying is a little extreme, but the melody is so beautiful.

My choice would be the song "You are Love" from Showboat. I was blessed to star opposite my husband, Duane McDevitt, in a production at Allenberry Playhouse about six years into our now 17-year marriage! At first, I found it a bit hokey to be singing this love song with my husband every night. I was irked when his staging ideas in rehearsal didn't gel with mine! I soon realized how amazingly fortunate we were to be working actors for an entire summer together, and starring opposite each other. We have gotten to sing that song several times since in concert and even a wedding. We probably aren't going to be considered for young romantic roles anymore. But, I still feel like a beautiful young ingenue when he looks at me with a smile and starts to sing the opening lines of the song.

"How Could I Ever Know" from The Secret Garden. As only theater can do, this love duet transcends the worldly constrictions of their love. "Sure as you breath I am there beside you." Beautiful!

"The Boy is Mine" by Brandy and Monica because there's nothing like fighting over your man with sweet riffs.

"I'm Gone" from Hands on a Hardbody because it's two young people who fall in love because they share a common dream. It reminds me of my wife and me.

My favorite Broadway love song is "There's A Fine, Fine Line" from Avenue Q. It is so true to real love. Love hurts.

“Somewhere” from West Side Story.

"Love To Me" from The Light In The Piazza

“Send in the Clowns” is the best unrequited love song.

I'm gonna go with "Tonight" from West Side Story. I still get chills during the intro, "Only you, you're the only thing I'll see forever." It's so innocent and pure and then it erupts into this musical heart beat of "suns and moons" that's so primal and thrilling. By the final "sleep well and when you dream, dream of me...", I'm gone!

I would say my favorite love song, especially for Valentine’s Day and equally poignant at weddings, is "Colour My World" by Chicago. That tune is just a beautiful, simple but deep, powerful love song.

"I Won't Send Roses" (Mack & Mabel) It's all about how the lyrics say, "Run away, you don't want me I'm trouble." But the longing in the melody says, "I'm lying, I love you."

"They Were You" from The Fantasticks. Simple melody, simple lyrics, profound effect. It gets me every time. I can't stop there, though! "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" from My Fair Lady is another one. Simple, specific and incredibly powerful.

“Only You” from Starlight Express.

"Gold" from Once. Perhaps I'm biased because it's my favorite show ever, but "And I love her so, I wouldn't trade her for gold..." I mean, COME ON! Perfect.

I have a couple favorite love songs. "She's Got a Way" from Movin' Out...it still counts. Also, "Marta," from Kiss of the Spider Woman...beautiful...even though its kind of sad...and he's in prison...but...but...his name is Valentin! Huh? Huh? Valentin, valentine... Boom! And thirdly, "Love is My Legs", cause that's how I roll.

“All I Ask of You” from The Phantom of the Opera

"Somewhere" from West Side Story

My favorite love song is actually from the Yeston/Kopit Phantom (I know! Never played on Broadway....I hope it still counts!) called "You Are Music". The line "You are music, beautiful music, and you are life to me" connects the overwhelming sensation of when music takes you over to the feeling of falling in love with another person, which I think is exactly what falling in love feels like- a complete flooding of the senses. Another favorite of mine is "What Would I Do" from Falsettoland – I think when you fall in love with someone, no matter how long that lasts, it changes you. Falling in love forces you to put your old priorities behind you and focus on someone else, inevitably changing how you see the world and how you deal with what comes at you. Every new love brings a new rush of energy and a new perspective on life, and you're never the same again.

I have to say my favorite musical love song is "Sunrise" from In the Heights. It is not because I was a part of the show for so long. Matter of fact I was going to pick "Sunday" from Sunday in the Park with George. But I decided to go with the "Sunrise." "Sunday" for me is about a man and his love for his art. "Sunrise" is wonderful and lovely. It is passionate and cultural. To hear love being shared in both languages, but more importantly to hear the faith in love prevail even with doubt present. The moment two lovers share their morning together, never falling asleep. A true love moment.

It's gotta be "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from Jesus Christ Superstar. It's so full of passion, love and confusion. That brown album was such an influential part of who I am and what I do.
