I was excited to see this as a category in the Broadway.com audience awards. The nominated songs are
Brooklyn - "Once Upon a Time"
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels – “Great Big Stuff”
Little Women – “Astonishing”
Spamalot – “The Song That Goes Like This”
Spamalot – “You Won't Succeed on Broadway”
What's you're favorite? I love "Great Big Stuff" and "The Song That Goes Like This."
Any shocking omissions?
"Do you know ChrisLovesShows?" "Yes. Why, yes he does!"

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 5/15/05 at 4:03amI'm sorry, but I'm really fond of Astonishing!
"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Posted: 5/15/05 at 11:00pmI love astonishing, but I think that the best song from Little Women is Some Things Are Meant To Be

I love Here I Am from DRS!
Also, The Song That Goes Like This and Find Your Grail from Spamalot
#24re: Favorite New Broadway Song
Posted: 5/16/05 at 11:53amI love "Find your Grail." Sara Ramirez is wonderful, and in addition it really is a good song.
There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.
