They say that falling in love is wonderful... and doesn't Broadway know it! Valentine's Day is here and love is all around us. At this most romantic time of the year, we can't help but wonder... what is the greatest Broadway love song ever?

Performer
The 39 Steps | Curtains | The Woman in White
I choose "Love to Me" from THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA as the most romantic song EVER!! It's what every girl wants to hear from her boy.
Performer
The Music of Neil Berg | Li'l Abner
It would have to be "When Did I Fall in Love?" from FIORELLO, music and lyrics by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick. It never gained the popularity as most of the others - but, it sure was a great one.
Performer
Jersey Boys
"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.
Industry
Screenwriter and Playwright: Addams Family Values | Jeffrey | In & Out | Isn't She Great | Marci X | The Stepford Wives | Jeffrey
"Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans" - when it's sung by Bryan Batt.
Performer
Producer / Host of Upright | an L.A. Cabaret
"Till There Was You" from THE MUSIC MAN. I played Harold Hill in my first high school musical and when it came time for the kiss at the end of this song, Marian Paroo proceeded to shove her tongue down my throat. I blame her for my fear of...librarians.
Performer
Curtains | Dracula The Musical | Wonderful Town | Wicked | Thoroughly Modern Millie | 42nd Street
One of my favorite love songs is "What Makes Me Love Him?" from THE APPLE TREE. It's a song that I love to sing and listen to. I love the story telling and it just warms my heart.
Performer
Columbia Records | Release Planning
One of my favorite romantic Broadway love songs is "My Heart is So Full of You" by Frank Loesser from THE MOST HAPPY FELLA
