Quite frankly, I think disliked Sondheim song would be easier.

Mine is two words: Pacific Overtures. Don't like it.

OH, and number 6 on my list "Everybody's Got the Right".

I really like A Little Priest, but Not While I'm Around takes the cake.

Kiss Me
Our Little World
Unworthy of Your Love
Drive a Person Crazy

Boy this is tough. I think that's my order, though, so Kiss Me is my favorite. When all four voices come together in the revival cast recording, it's magical!

EDIT - Okay I popped in the Sweeney Todd recording, and I have to add The Judge's Johanna...AWESOME! Updated On: 12/30/07 at 12:52 PM

LuPonatic is right, Kiss Me is amazing!

so I'll add that to my list, but I haven't even contemplated Assassins, I love Something Just Broke, AND the Ballad of Guiteau....

This is an evil question.

EDIT: Not a Day Goes By, Bernie singing it at the Sondheim Celebration from the 90's, amazing, makes me cry.

I'll probably change this in about an hour.


I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

It lies somewhere between the following:
"Color and Light"
"Move On"
"Could I Leave You?"
"Story of Lucy and Jessie"

It changes depending on my mood but as of now, Children and Art. Beautifully constructed song and I really enjoy it even with different singers specifically Bernadette Peters, Lorna Luft and Maria Friedman. Usually I find myself having a favorite song but with one performer in particular. With this song I really enjoy all the interpretations of different artists.

"Finishing the Hat"
"Now/Soon/Later"
"The Miller's Son"
"I'm Still Here"
"Johanna (Quartet)"
"Color and Light"
"Ladies Who Lunch"
"Moments in the Woods"
"I Read"
"Someone In A Tree"
"The Ballad of Guiteau"

This changes a lot, though. I must be honest.


Stop looking at my charisma.

I haven't ever even heard Passion, but from how I love his other pieces, I'm sure I need to get it now!
