My favorite love song from a musical is probably “Perfect for You” from Next to Normal because I’m rehearsing that, so I’m pretty biased. But I feel like both the music and the lyrics are stunning and so romantic.

"No One Else" from Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812. I thought it was such an exciting new musical and I remember leaving the theater thinking, “Wow, I would love for someone to sing that song to me!” Hah!

"The Shortest Day of the Year" from BOYS FROM SYRACUSE...though it actually could be any of the love songs in BOYS FROM SYRACUSE from "This Can't Be Love" to "You Have Cast Your Shadow on the Sea." These songs all have the most tender and delicate melodies and such perfectly, simple lyrics by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Of any love song that I have sung, "The Shortest Day of the Year" is my absolute favorite. It's so romantic and its message is so basic and so heartfelt.

My favorite musical love song has always been and will forever be “Purlie” from Purlie. It was my first song from my days at American Musical and Drama Acadamy; and then, it became my first professional audition song. I got lots of callbacks with it too.

"Still Hurting" from The Last Five Years. Being in a relationship for multiple years, I understand the ebbs and flows of loving someone. Lots of laughs and sometimes tears. Jamie and Kathy always feel to me like they are in the midst of a struggle to love each other while on the surface it feels like they are DOA. THE LYRICS!!!!

My favorite love song is currently "It All Fades Away" from Jason Robert Brown's The Bridges of Madison County with Andrew Samonsky singing the sh*t out of it.... to meeeeeee.

"Gold" from Once. Perhaps I'm biased because it's my favorite show ever, but "And I love her so, I wouldn't trade her for gold..." I mean, COME ON! Perfect.

"I Have Dreamed" from The King and I. I think the melody has love woven into the fabric!

"If I Loved You" from CAROUSEL. Not only is it a beautifully written song, but its brilliant in the way it harnesses the power of the word "if." To watch Billy and Julie navigate falling in love despite the fact that they are both so scared, is just amazing.

I have a couple favorite love songs. "She's Got a Way" from Movin' Out...it still counts. Also, "Marta," from Kiss of the Spider Woman...beautiful...even though its kind of sad...and he's in prison...but...but...his name is Valentin! Huh? Huh? Valentin, valentine... Boom! And thirdly, "Love is My Legs", cause that's how I roll.

"Suddenly Seymour" from Little Shop of Horrors. It's euphoria! It's the surprise of the love of your life. It's the most beautiful soaring harmonies. It's Ellen Green! It's everything.

The most romantic Broadway love song I've ever heard is Barbra Streisand's version of "He Touched Me" from "Drat! The Cat!"

"Loving You" from Passion. It's the melody, it's the lyrics. It just gets right to my heart.

My favorite Broadway love song is “Falling Slowly” from Once. I fell in love with that song when watching the movie with my husband and we would sign it to each other all the time and the words just stuck. The lyrics are so beautiful and paint such vivid emotions. It is kind of a love song, kind of a song of hope.

“All I Ask of You” from The Phantom of the Opera

"Somewhere" from West Side Story

"You Are Love" from Showboat!

"Suddenly, Seymour" from Little Shop Of Horrors. One of my favorite Broadway love songs not only because Alan Menken wrote it, but because it was the first time I saw a character actor (like yours truly) sing a love song. It makes me feel all squishy just writing about it.

My favorite love song is 'Sailor of My Dreams' from Dames at Sea!

“When I First Saw You” from Dreamgirls

My favorite Broadway love song would have to be "Without Love" from Hairspray. I made my Broadway debut in this show, the lyrics are funny and sweet, and I sang opposite a number of amazing people that played Penny Lou Pingleton

My favorite love song is actually from the Yeston/Kopit Phantom (I know! Never played on Broadway....I hope it still counts!) called "You Are Music". The line "You are music, beautiful music, and you are life to me" connects the overwhelming sensation of when music takes you over to the feeling of falling in love with another person, which I think is exactly what falling in love feels like- a complete flooding of the senses. Another favorite of mine is "What Would I Do" from Falsettoland – I think when you fall in love with someone, no matter how long that lasts, it changes you. Falling in love forces you to put your old priorities behind you and focus on someone else, inevitably changing how you see the world and how you deal with what comes at you. Every new love brings a new rush of energy and a new perspective on life, and you're never the same again.

"Sweet Time" from Raisin: The Musical

My choice for favorite Broadway love song is "Till There Was You" by Meredith Willson from The Music Man. I first heard the Beatles version and I thought it was a sensational song. Karen Mason and I were married on Valentines Day! This song says everything I need to say. Happy Anniversary Karen!

“Being Alive” from Company! There is something profoundly accurate and wonderful about Love’s imperfections contained in the line “Someone to sit in my chair, to ruin my sleep”.

"On the Street Where You Live" from My Fair Lady because I love the way it describes the feeling of falling in love. It's the euphoria and the butterflies! "Does enchantment pour out of every door on the street where you live?" It's such a beautiful articulation articulation of those feelings.

"Marry Me a Little" from Company. Every time I hear that song I think about being married and how we invent our marriage all the time.

My favorite Broadway love song has to be from Next to Normal. It would be “Hey #3/Perfect For You” because it is the culmination of this beautiful, tricky love story between two people that I have grown to love dearly even though they don’t exist, and I think it is also very pretty.

Our show begins with its title character being robbed of everything but a Neil diamond CD, so Joshyboy would have little to say on the subject. But our highly intelligent cast agrees, the greatest love song in Broadway HISTORY is hands down... “Skimbleshanks” from Cats. Exactly, you’re shaking your head in agreement. Skimby’s passionate relationship with the guards, the porters AND the station master’s daughters? The raw sensuality of getting busy in the luggage van? Our hairs are on end just thinking about it, and our mandatory cast listening parties before EVERY show have been highly successful... despite what Actors’ Equity tells you.

"Being Alive" from COMPANY is one of my favorite, most moving Sondheim songs; it just cuts to the emotional core of needing someone to care, encourage and believe in you. My other all time favorite is "Sunrise, Sunset" from FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, which always touches my heart and brings to mind how blessed I am to have such a wonderful family past and present.
