My favorite Broadway love song has evolved over the years and my current choice is a reflection of that. I grew up in the country and when I think of home, I think of the wild lady slippers, lily-of-the-valley, forsythia and lilacs. Edelweiss is used as a love song and subliminal goodbye to a beloved homeland that will forever be in your heart.

I really enjoy two songs from Kismet: “And This is My Beloved” & “Stranger in Paradise”. And of course I do have to support the one and only “Some Enchanted Evening.”

My favorite Broadway love song would have to be the entire bench scene in Carousel. "If I Loved You" is such a classic romantic tune, but encased within the full orchestrated "bench scene" it is a beautiful depiction of the moment two lost souls fall in love.

It would have to be "My Friends" from SWEENEY TODD. A strange choice, I grant you, but I think it honestly shows ALL kinds of love lyrically-speaking, and, musically, the sense of longing in the actual accompaniment joined with the familiarity/comfort of the song's orchestration (in the original production - and that's not meant as a dig to the current revival's brilliantly realized and fitting orchestrations); truly utilizing the strings and the brass as - up to that point - the audience's "friends", for me, adds up to being the definition of romantic. Or, if this diatribe is a bit much, just say I said "People Will Say We're In Love", and put whatever reason you'd like.

"Baby Got Back." It's an oldie but a goodie. "My anaconda don't want none unless it's got buns hun." That's love to me.

My favorite Broadway love song has to be "All the Wasted Time" from Parade. It has a special place in my heart. I think it's one of the great duets- unusual and striring and complicated and all the things that love can be.

"Somewhere" from West Side Story – this song gets me every single time. One of my all-time favorites. The first time I heard it, I literally wept. I thought it was so beautiful, so passionate and I absolutely adored the melody and words of the song. "Someday..... somewhere..." The lyric that really says it all for me is that "there's a place for us." I love how romantic that line is. That no matter what the odds are, or if the world doesn't understand this kind of love, that there is a place... Somewhere.....I hope to record my own version of the song one day.

It would have to be "One Hand, One Heart" from WEST SIDE STORY. It fills my heart every time I hear it....

I am partial to “Til There Was You” from Music Man. Standing offstage watching Sutton sing it every night was such a treat. And I swear, some nights, I thought I heard her say, “til there was Hugh”.

My favorite Broadway song, I'm choosing one from Groundhog Day, because it means so much to me, it's so important to me. It's called "Seeing You." It is about seeing someone maybe you've seen every day of your life over and over again but then taking a chance to see them for the first time, reset your brain, look through their eyes. It's beautiful and I can't wait to sing it.

"If I Loved You" from Carousel. It's so sweet and sad. Those are my favorite love songs... the ones that are a little bit heart-breaky.

My solo in Old Friends is "Could I Leave You?", which is a very anti-love song. Someone's just asked me, oh, I think you should leave me. And then the song is super sarcastic. So I've just turned it on his head. It's not romantic at all. It's like, we used to be in love and it's all gone horribly wrong.

“It Only Takes a Moment” – Hello Dolly

My favorite Broadway love song is “Always Better” from The Bridges of Madison County. I was lucky enough to be involved in a developmental reading of the show and was continuously moved by the song. Always brought to tears. After all, love is love is love is love and it is the greatest thing on Earth!

"Inside Your Heart" from Bat Boy. The great thing about this song is that it's like the metaphor of I will always live inside your heart, but she's actually talking about letting the Bat Boy drink her blood so she will always live inside of his heart literally! I love that show.

My favorite Broadway love song is "Some Enchanted Evening" from South Pacific because it is just beautiful. It's an incredible song. That song of yearning and of really putting out your whole life in front of someone else...The think I love about it the most is that everyone dreams about that moment. That moment of meeting someone and falling in love immediately.

Other than something from The Notebook (obviously), I think my favorite Broadway love song is “Falling Into You” from The Bridges of Madison County. The restraint used in the composition is so satisfying, and then you have these two iconic Broadway voices telling the story. I mean, sonically and lyrically it’s just so delicious— it’s a sophisticated duet that perfectly captures that ‘Aha! I’ve found my person’ moment! Chefs' kiss!

Alright, this might sound weird coming from me, but I think the most romantic song in MT would have to be "As Long as He Needs Me" from Oliver. It is simply splendiferous!! Whenever someone gives me those little butterflies in my stomach, I usually sing this song ... except I just change the he to a she!

'Everything's Up to Date in Kansas City'

The most romantic love song ever? Simple: "Not a Day Goes By"

I have to plug Maybe Happy Ending. I have to! I have to say "Why Love." I've seen Maybe Happy Ending 10 times because my Valentine is above the title on it! So if you haven't seen it, you have to see it.

For me "I Got Lost in His Arms" from ANNIE GET YOUR GUN does it everytime. She (Annie) resists falling for this guy so hard. I just love the idea of how defenseless she becomes when he wraps his arms around her. Once you fall there is nothing you can do. It makes humans both powerless and powerful!

“Will He Like Me?" from She Loves Me. The lyrics “will he like me? ...and “he’s just got to”“There’s more to me than I may always show” those lyrics kill me and that’s why I love it.

This might sound like I’m slightly biased, but I don’t think I am. My current favorite Broadway love song is “All I’ve Ever Known” from Hadestown.

"If I loved You" from Carousel is probably the greatest love song ever written because it deftly walks the line between flirtation and confession of feelings that only a Rogers and Hammerstein song can really do but if I'm picking the kareoke song... it's "On the Wings of Love" every time. That bridge?! Come ON!

There are so many, but there's one from The Scarlet Pimpernel, that nobody sings, which is "Don't Be Afraid It's Only Love." And I don't know why more people don't sing it. It's just so beautiful.

"Do You Love Me" from Fiddler On The Roof. But I've been married a long time. If you asked me 40 years ago, I would have said "On The Street Where You Live."

"Love Is My Legs" from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels written by David Yazbeck sung by the great Norbert Leo Butz and the great Sherie Rene Scott. I love that song so much. It is a belty, belty song. It is so full of heart but also hilarious. I wish someone would sing that to me on Valentine's Day.

I'd say this song "Forever" from The Notebook. I just loved the guy who sang that. [Laughs] It's a gorgeous song. Ingrid Michaelson did an amazing job and I was in it, yes.

I'm such an emotional, Pisces creature of the theater, so I'm gonna pick my first Broadway show that I ever fell in love with when I was a kid- West Side Story. Just listening to "Tonight " and what Bernstein did with that, it just pulls every emotion out of my heart for feeling the anticipation of loving and being loved. It's just perfect.
