Valentine's Day is here and love is all around us. At this most romantic time of the year, we can't help but wonder... what is the greatest Broadway love song ever? BroadwayWorld continues our great tradition of finding that consensus- and this year we have more answers than ever! We've gathered responses from over 1500 performers, composers, industry professionals, and entertainment personalities from all over the world. 

This year's list is presented by The Notebook, now in previews on Broadway. Based on the best selling novel that inspired the iconic film, this new musical follows Allie and Noah, both from different worlds, as they share a lifetime of love despite the forces that threaten to pull them apart, in a deeply moving portrait of the enduring power of love.

I choose "All The Way" by Sammy Kahn from the musical Robin and the Seven Hoods. My husband Brian and I met and fell in love on that show in the summer of 2010. Brian and I slow danced during every show backstage while Kelly Sullivan sang "All The Way." We were married in the Fall of 2011.

I think my favorite Broadway love song is “If I Loved You” from Carousel. It is impossible for me to think of that song outside of the context of the bench scene, which I think is the most beautifully romantic scene in the entire repertory.

"Lover" from Fela! Also anything from AIDA- what a love story!

Growing up I used to hear this song on the radio. I fell in love with it. Through its transitions, it stood the test of time: "Hey There," I sing it in my act. Thank you Rosie Clooney, John Raitt and Sammy Davis Jr.

"Only Love" from Zorba is achingly beautiful, but, call me old fashioned, there's something wonderfully romantic about "I Can't Say No."

"Lots Wife" from Caroline or Change, because I LOVE when I sing it. I changed my mind. "My Child Will Forgive Me" from Parade
