I think my favorite Broadway love song is "People Will Say We're in Love" from Oklahoma. It's the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein melody and its playful but also has significant meaning.

My song would be "My Funny Valentine" from Babes In Arms. This is a classic song that changes genres from Broadway to Jazz. It is written beautifully, poignant, and makes for a great "Love" song.

Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful"

The one that I got to sing from Spider-Man- "If the World Should End" And I love a lot of stuff from the Last Five Years, event though that is dismal love...

Hmm, the first song that pops into my head is "I Won't Send Roses" from MACK AND MABEL. I listened to that song over and over for about a month when I first heard it and cried every time! But I would also have to say "If I Loved You" from CAROUSEL...another tear jerker!!

For me, the most moving Broadway love song is "Your Daddy's Son" from "Ragtime." Sarah, hopeless about her future and her baby's future, sings to her son as she prepares to abandon him, telling him: "You have your daddy's hands; you are your daddy's son." It is a love song both to her son and to his father. It is gorgeous and heartbreaking, especially as sung by Audra McDonald on the Original Cast Recording.

"Anytime"- cut from A NEW BRAIN. To say that these are the most thoughtful lyrics I have heard from Finn is a bold statement, but the first time this song landed on my ears, I was a water well from first to last note. His simple rhythmic motives and soaring vocal lines evoke a beautiful tale of how love, no matter how it ends, carries on.

"If I Loved You" from CAROUSEL

“You Were Meant For Me” from Singin' in the Rain.

It's not a classic Broadway love song by any means, but it's been one of my favorite songs for a long time. "She's Got a Way" from Movin Out.

My favorite Broadway Love song is "Love Will Stand" from Memphis the Musical. I always loved standing on stage, singing the background vocals to this amazing song, with Montego Glover owning that moment.

"My Man" from Funny Girl. I love this song because it's soulful and revealing. I love to listen to renditions of this song: Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Fanny Brice, (Barbra) Streisand, because they're all so personal... Happy Valentine's Day to 'my man', Paul Stancato cause when he holds me in his arms the world is bright, all right!

The only song that makes me cry every time I listen to it, or sing it, is "Song On The Sand" from LA CAGE AUX FOLLES. This song has the power to take you back in time and space, to a life long forgotten. It makes you feel homesick and goes right into your "kishkes."

My first instinct... like first thought process when I think about a love song that just means so much to me is "Sunrise" from In the Heights. It's like, oh, we you have a chunk of me, you have a chunk of my soul now and my spirit now. And we're going to do this thing together. And the spiraling of it all, too. And then being there and lifting each other up.

"Too Beautiful for Words" from The Color Purple.

"I Wish I Were in Love Again" from BABES IN ARMS. I met my wife during BABES IN ARMS and it is a great and funny song about love.

"Make Our Garden Grow" from Candide. Just the most beautiful piece of music... reminds me of my husband. God, so sappy but true!

My favorite Broadway love song is “I’ll Cover You” from RENT. I love that it starts off as an intimate ballad in a way and then transforms into a powerful ensemble piece. The lyrics by Jonathan Larson are filled with beautiful metaphors that create vivid images for the audience to visualize how strong the love is between these two characters. What a song!

My favorite Broadway Love Song is "Wheels of a Dream" from Ragtime. It is a song that I had the phenomenal pleasure of singing in the show with three stunning Tony Award Winning Ladies, LaChanze, Heather Headley and Audra McDonald. The song is the perfect anthemic blend of passion, romance, longing and hope!

"When You're Home" from IN THE HEIGHTS.

My favorite love song is "I feel you, Johanna" from Sweeney Todd. It touches me in such a deep way. It goes right to - I've been married for 35 years to the same beautiful woman, I feel her presence. It just kind of puts it right there: "I feel you."

So I've been thinking about this question and I keep going back to one song.......The Next Ten Minutes from The Last Five Years by the wonderful JRB.....Now I don't necessarily think of that as a love song.....Its not the classic "I love you" bs that is so often selected for the Broadway Love Songs books at Colony! However, this is what people talk about when they are in love! The lyrics are so real!....They touch on the real world issues of How do we make this work and I want to make this work. Theyre open about their problems but talk about the dreams they want to share! Opening up to someone is the hardest thing to do until you are truly in love! That to me is the most romantic thing EVER!

My favorite love song is "You're Gonna Stay" from the musical Shrek. It might not be your typical love song but the dragon loves donkey and eventually he realizes he loves her too. Plus, I loved singing it backstage with my friend, Haven, during the show run at North Shore Music Theater.

"Left Behind" from SPRING AWAKENING

"People Will Say We're in Love" from Oklahoma!. The reason this is my fave rave is that my wife Rebecca Baxter and I met playing Laurey and Curly for Minnesota Opera in 1988 in what would be our first of three productions in these roles for various companies. This was the most perfect "courting" love song that any guy could have asked for. Of the 9 productions of Oklahoma! that I have done in my career, this first one was clearly the winner. Our Jud was to be Oscar nominee JK Simmons. Ado Annie, Will Parker and Ali Hakem were Broadway vets Alix Korey, Lara Teeter, and Bruce Adler. Little did we know at the time that we would be in the company of such greatness.

While I could easily make a case for many many Broadway love songs and why they are my favorite (...it's possible I've made a mixed-tape with this very list a few times in my life), I'll have to say: "Unexpected Song" from Song and Dance. I often find those lyrics floating through my head."

A song that I wasn't familiar with prior to starting this rehearsal process was "Loving You" from Passion, and Lea Salonga sings that that's actually the song that I get to cover of hers. And oh my goodness, it goes to show that sometimes when you love somebody, it isn't a choice. It's just who you are, it's in your DNA. It's almost as though the stars align and that person is just meant for you. And I found that love in my life. And I love to be able to draw from that and sing that song. It's just so special.

"Bring Him Home." This is the greatest love song...from a father to his daughter. He is praying for this boy to be delivered safely home. For her. A boy he has never met, but who he knows is his daughter's love. Beautiful.

"All The Wasted Time" from Parade. I saw the show in London as the Donmar Warehouse, and it was fantastic – but this was a big, emotional number form the character just when you wanted it.

I'm going to say "Tonight" from West Side Story. Because it's so full of hope and optimism. Love helps them see the world as it can be. As wondrous.
