My favorite Broadway love song is "Something Good" from The Sound of Music. I have loved that song... and you know, obviously we have an ode to it in the Schmigadoon. There's just something so sweet and tender about it.

“With You” from PIPPIN.

My favorite Broadway love song is definitely "Without You" from RENT. I've been lucky enough to be in the show and sing that song, but until I met my husband I don't think I really understood the gravity of the lyrics. The song carries so much weight and, to me, it so accurately describes what it means to truly be in love with your person.

Hands down my favorite Broadway love song is from Michael John LaChiusa’s Hello Again…."The One I Love." The song holds personal significance, as I met my husband during that show’s run, and years later Janine LaManna sang it gorgeously at our wedding. Musically and lyrically that song has always expressed for me the vulnerable yearning we all have to find that person who completes you, whose life you want intertwined with yours. My heart still swells every time I hear it.

"Falling Slowly" from Once. I'll never forget the first time I heard this song, with it's haunting orchestration and lyrics. There's almost a plea or yearning to the music. It's that magical feeling of seeing someone for the first or last time, and begging them to grab your hand and save you.

"I Won't Send Roses" (Mack & Mabel) It's all about how the lyrics say, "Run away, you don't want me I'm trouble." But the longing in the melody says, "I'm lying, I love you."

“Written in the Stars” from Aida. It's a song about how two people of opposite lives can deal with opposition and difficulties to remain together. It's also about destiny, fate, and love! Not to mention being locked in a box and chained together for eternity in a tomb!

"As Long As He Needs Me" from Oliver! It's an odd song and I think it's really honest. I think Lionel Bart really got to the heart of something there.

For me, my favorite Valentine's Broadway show song is probably "Maria" from West Side Story. I was there! You know, I mean, it's self-explanatory. I don't really need to say why, you know, it's that unrequited love, you know, that most of us have at Valentine's.

Hmm...that's a tough one but I'd definitely have to go with "You Matter to Me" from Waitress. It's literally one of the most beautiful love songs ever written in my opinion.

"Say it Somehow" from Light in the Piazza. This is one of my favorite love songs. Love transcends language and I'm a sucker for a lovey duet.

“With Every Breath I Take” from City of Angels.

My favorite Broadway love song is 'Unusual Way' from Nine. So wonderful!

"Maria", from WEST SIDE STORY -- it tells it all...

"Tonight" from West Side Story. The whole song is the feeling of first falling in love: the heartbeat created by the strings, the way the tempo ebbs and flows almost like someone getting excited and then taking a deep breath over and over. Plus, you can't beat the lyric ‘today the world was just an address/a place for me to live in/no better than all right/now here you are/and what was just a world is a star.

"L-O-V-E" because it's so buyant.

My absolute favorite Broadway love song is "What's the Use of Wond'rin'" from Carousel. You love with your heart and soul knowing in the end you will be decimated - and still you love.

“Almost like Being in Love” from Brigadoon. I love how it perfectly captures the excited essence of that first rush of feelings for someone!

My favorite love song on Broadway is "Satisfied" from Hamilton. The song immediately made my heart weep. The setting takes place at Hamilton and Eliza's wedding reception. In the middle of Angelica's toast, she begins to reminisce on her secret love and feelings for Hamilton. She wanted Hamilton from the moment she laid eyes on him BUT she saw Eliza loved him as well. Her love for her younger sister is so strong that she lets her have Hamilton. Angelica's main focus is to protect her sisters, even if it means she can never be with the love of her life. Satisfied is beautiful. Renee Goldberry's voice mixed with the music is almost haunting. Her rap game is also on point! I don't know how anyone could listen to these lyrics without getting chills!

"Your Eyes" from RENT. That's a good one.

"You Matter to Me" from Waitress because Gavin Creel and Sara Bareilles are singing it right now and I'm going to go see it as soon as I can.

It would have to be "Light My Candle" from Rent. You know, it's dark and it's seedy and it just happens, it seems, almost in an improvisational way. Two people meeting. One looking for a packet and the other one who's put up barriers to the world. And so, to me, that's probably, for my taste, the closest thing to a love song that I respond to.

“On The Streets of Dublin” from A Man of No Importance. This song is sheer perfection musically and lyrically. It is the ultimate “love of life” song: an impassioned cry to open your eyes and love what is there at your fingertips, in your veins, and in your blood.

After much contemplation, I keep coming back to one of the first legit songs I ever learned after my voice changed from boy soprano to baritone - "Some Enchanted Evening" from SOUTH PACIFIC. After having performed this song out of the context of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, and now having performed it over 200 times with LCT and LCT Nat'l Tour, it still evokes great emotion and love in me every time I sing it. It remains for me one of the best loved love songs ever written, for any generation - it is timeless....I've gotta go get ready to enchant now.

One of my favorite Broadway love songs is "I Don't Know His Name" from She Loves Me. It's all about meeting someone and them revealing their inside as opposed to just judging them from the outside, because they meet through the letters. That's a really pretty one.

I'll tell you what, I love "Follow Your Heart" from Urinetown. I just love that duet and that moment and that show. It's fantastic.

"Maria" from WEST SIDE STORY. Powerful young love propelling the melody and he can't stop saying her name. "Not a Day Goes By" - talk about having your heart on your sleeve! and..."Sometimes a Day Goes By" concise, with heartbreaking irony.

Well, it sounds obvious, but my favorite right now is the love song I get to sing in The Band’s Visit, “The Beat of Your Heart." Among the many things he achieves with “The Beat of Your Heart," David Yazbek ingeniously turns a song about lost love into a song of inspiration to all those lovers who have lost their way. Every night I feel grateful to be able to sing “Maybe music is the food of love, but music and love, who can tell them apart?” I mean, music and love. What else is there, right?

“If I Loved You” is one of the greatest love songs of all time, so I guess that’s mine!
