My favorite love song is "Written in the Stars" from AIDA! It just captures all the longing, yearning and passion that happens in a star-crossed love. That kind of love that makes your soul and heart ache.

My favorite choice would be ~ "(His Is The Only) Music That Makes Me Dance" from FUNNY GIRL. Why? ~ I had the chance to play Fanny in "FUNNY GIRL" 2 times in my life, and whenever I sang this song I hoped one day to have a love in my life that made me feel this way. My second choice would be.............."Shadow Dancing" by Andy Gibb. :o)

“My Friends” from SWEENEY TODD because ... I’m playing Thomas Cromwell. Also, it’s unique in that it may well be the only love song in the Broadway canon that is sung to an inanimate object ... or several.

I would choose "Without Love" from Hairspray because it is a gorgeous , uplifting, joyful anthem full of sharp humor about falling in love with someone surprising. We are so used to predictable relationships in all the stories we encounter but in this song we watch the characters embrace the unexpected and it’s delightful. The quartet sing about prejudices that have little sway in matters of the heart. This is a joyous, happy, upbeat, funny, clever song and it always makes me smile.

My favortie, romantic Broadway song is "Just In Time" from Bells Are Ringing. It works as a ballad and as a swing tune. Frank Sinatra's cover of this gorgeous melody is the definitive version for me. (This song also provided me a killer 16 bars in my early cattle call audition days...) Secretly, it's also my favorite song to sing at a Karaoke Bar.

Favorite pre-pubescent Broadway love song, "All I ask of You" from The Phantom of the Opera because I wanted to BE Christine Daae. Favorite teenage Broadway love song, "On My Own." Both sad and creepy. When I thought requited love was the BEST. Favorite new Broadway love song, "When She Smiles." You should buy the Lysistrata Jones cast album and listen to it. Favorite new Off-Broadway love song, "Love Me as a Friend." You should buy the Triassic Parq cast album and listen to it. It's about female dinosaurs growing penises and how that might change the friendships they have. Runner up, "Dick Fix" (also on Triassic Parq cast album).

My favorite Broadway love song is 'Not While I’m Around' from Sweeney Todd. I suppose it’s more of a platonic kind of love song but I just admire it’s simplicity and it’s protectiveness. And the irony that the ‘weaker’ of the two characters is the one who is in the end, the one who survives, albeit barely. That’s what love will to you. It will give you courage against the odds, and it will blind you to who actually deserves that love. It’s not a sappy, traditional love song but a tragically misplaced one. Which is why it’s my favorite, I suppose. And now, I’m off to therapy, You’re welcome.

My favorite Broadway love song is “You Matter to Me” from Waitress. Anyone who knows me (or even if they don’t) probably will guess that would be my answer because I’m a huge Sara Bareilles fan. But even still, I love the beautiful simplicity of the song. It’s not a grand, theatrical declaration of love. It’s just a small, human moment of two people really seeing each other for the first time in either of their lives, which is the most important thing anyone can ask for. It can also be something you never knew you didn’t have until you get it for the first time. - Weston Chandler Long (Little Shop of Horrors)

It's Valentine's Day, I love "A Little Priest" from Sweeney Todd. I feel like it's a kind of inside out love song. It's a really unexpected love song.

My husbands favorite romantic song is "Its Only Make Believe." For myself, I have just recently rediscovered "Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life." Oh, now I am wishing I had included either of them on my new CD, "For Heaven's Sake." Well, maybe the next one.

This is a tough one, cause there are SOOOOOOO many beautiful and touching Broadway love songs. But, I'll never forget the first time I heard "Say it Somehow" from The Light in the Piazza. My heart melted. Also...when a man sings "Johanna" from Sweeney Todd, I am putty in his hands. And another one (because I can't resist) is "All the Wasted Time" from Parade. I sob like a baby through that one.

My favorite Broadway love song would be 'If Ever I Would Leave You.' I love both the melody and the lyrics equally. One of the reasons I love that song is that I used it as a ballad for years; I sang it well at that time, and I'm sure it helped me get some jobs! Also, one of my very best friends, Richard Muenz, played Lancelot in "Camelot", and I always felt he sang it better than anyone else!

"If I Loved You" to me is the best. I don't know if there is a better written love song, because of the pretense of it- "If I loved you, if would say these things about you... but I don't!" The melody and the poetry... I think it all aligns just perfectly.

I’m going to say “People Will Say We’re in Love” from Oklahoma!. I know it’s old school, stay with me here … I married my high school sweetheart when we were in college, where we performed in a production of Oklahoma! together and we are still married today!

"It Takes Two" from Into the Woods

My favorite song from Broadway is “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from The Lion King because I performed The Lion King in my 6th grade school play. Then the rest of the cast would make the main characters kiss at the end - it never happened which was kind of disappointing. We still had fun though because we loved acting.

Strange as it is to me now ....my favorite has always been Nancy singing “As Long As He Needs Me” to Sykes in Oliver. Such an impossible love ...he is so abusive to her and yet she can’t help it. Her rendition in the original movie was breathtaking and heartbreaking.

My favorite Broadway love song is “Falling Into You” from Bridges Of Madison County because it is a representation of destiny/ purpose. The song invites the idea that maybe everything in life has led you to this moment right here with the person you love, and those moments prior were merely practice; preparing you to love your person. It don’t get more romantic than that.

"You are Love" from SHOWBOAT.

"Feed Me" from Little Shop of Horrors. It's a brilliant rollicking seduction/consummation between Seymour and Audrey 2, and ends in a plot to murder a masochistic medical professional. Happy Valentine's Day!

"Till There Was You" from The Music Man. Such a sweet melody and pure, simple sentiment. Plus, c'mon, The Beatles even recorded it!

“One Hand, One Heart” from West Side Story has always been one of my favorite long songs in musical theater. I loved it’s melody and theme so much, I had a string quartet play it as my wife, Caroline Bowman, walked down the aisle at our wedding.

“I Can’t Fight This Feeling” from Rock of Ages

"If I Loved You". It's the perfect scene and perfect song.

"New Words" by Maury Yeston. I've always appreciated song writing but now that we have a little baby boy in our lives "New Words" brings tears to my eyes every time.

"The Proposal/The Night Was Alive" from Titanic. I love the humanity in that song, so beautifully depicted in the sweeping melodies and lyrics. I can't listen to it without crying.

My favorite Broadway love song, right this moment, is "Taking a Chance on Love" because LaChanze sings it, and Lord have mercy.

"All the Wasted Time" from Parade. I got to watch two people do it a lot... and they were really good at it!

My favorite Broadway love song is "Being Alive" from Company. It is about all of the things that love encompasses- the good and the bad. I think that's really important to remember when it comes to love.

I would have to say Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Unexpected Song" from Tell Me on a Sunday. The lyrics describe exactly how love should feel.
