In Honor of Today's Eclipse, Check Out 'Heavenly' Broadway Show Tunes!

Let the sunshine in... or not! Today a total solar eclipse will take place beginning on the West Coast just after 10 a.m. PT and ending on the East Coast a little before 3 p.m. ET. The "band of totality" is approximately 70 miles wide and will extend from South Carolina, through Nebraska, over the West Coast and through Oregon. Even if you are outside of this area however, you will still be able to experience the "Eclipse of the Century," albeit a tad less dramatically. You can watch the eclipse live, in virtual reality as it moves coast to coast on cnn.com/eclipse. And remember, do not stare at the sun directly during the eclipse, or you could potentially do long-term damage to your eyes.

In honor of today's once-in-a -lifetime event, we present some of our favorite "heavenly-themed" Broadway show tunes below!
