The Greatest Broadway Love Songs- Picked By 1500+ Stars!

They say that falling in love is wonderful... and doesn't Broadway know it! 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! Over the years, we have gathered responses from over 1500 performers, composers, industry professionals, and entertainment personalities from all over the world, including many bright lights who are no longer with us, but whose memories we honor.

BroadwayWorld's annual Valentine's Day feature is sponsored by Schmigadoon! - a love letter to Broadway’s Golden Age wrapped in a modern musical comedy that will leave you with a “song in your heart” (The New York Times)…if you manage to get out.

New York doctors Josh (Alex Brightman) and Melissa (Sara Chase) set out on a couples’ backpacking retreat to rekindle the flame, but instead find themselves in Schmigadoon, a magical town that’s a Golden Age musical come to life. The townspeople won’t stop singing, the bridge out leads nowhere, and the only way to escape is by finding true love—which may or may not be with each other.

From Saturday Night Live’s Lorne Michaels and based on the Universal Television and Apple Original award-winning series, this delightfully hilarious musical is directed by Christopher Gattelli (Death Becomes Her, Newsies) with a book and Emmy® Award-winning score by Cinco Paul (Despicable Me, The Secret Life of Pets). Get tickets today!
