My favorite love song is “My Best Girl” from Mame, sung to his aunt.

"Wicked Little Town" from Hedwig! I don't believe in unqualified, idealistic everything is perfect love songs because life ain't like that. Wicked Little Town is the darkest, cynical yet gorgeous love song I've ever heard in a musical. It's kinda like, well you could get infatuated with anyone really, but if you've got no other choice you might as well let me guide you through this stormy fucked up world. I love that.

My favorite Broadway love song has to be "Last Night on Earth." I mean, I was a part of American Idiot, but there's something about that song that just absolutely grips my heart. It's a great testimony to love and affection and heartache. It's a classic love song to me.

"Come Rain or Come Shine," from St. Louis Woman. Because of its absolute devotion to love, even under the most challenging of life's circumstances.

I'm going to have to go with "Bess, You Is My Woman Now" from Porgy and Bess. I love it because it's a beautiful song and a testament of two people finding love despite their disadvantages and unsavory past.

“Without You” from Rent. I love that song because it really gets to the heart of how you feel when you’re madly in love with someone. When I did that show, I would listen to it and cry.

"Ev'rything I Love" from Cole Porter's Let's Face It.

My favorite Broadway Love Song is "All I Ask Of You" from Phantom of The Opera.

“I’ve Never Been in Love Before” from Guys and Dolls

My favorite love song is from the world of Gilbert and Sullivan. It is from The Pirates of Penzance, which was on Broadway originally in the 1980’s and has received various revivals since. The song is “Ah, leave me not to pine” and it is one of the most beautiful love duets ever- sung by Mabel and Frederic when they discover they must part for many years. It’s one of the most tender and sad moments in all of musical theatre, but an expression of true love with a beautiful orchestral accompaniment. I have played the Pirate King for most of my career, but I always enjoy listening to this duet by the soprano and tenor from the wings.

The two Broadway love songs that have always spoken to me the most, and are almost always guaranteed to make me cry are: "All the Wasted Time" - Parade, "Move On" - Sunday in the Park with George. Both songs I heard for first time in acting school performed in class by colleagues and they just devastated me. I still feel the same way about the songs today.

“All the Things you Are" by Kern and Hammerstein from VERY WARM FOR MAY.

My favorite Broadway love song is "I'm Here" from The Color Purple. I heard it sung 100 times by Cynthia Erivo when I was in the cast. It's a song about falling in love with yourself and that you are enough.

Can it be Off-Broadway? Ok, I'm including that too. Because while there are some amazing love songs out there (“If Ever I Would Leave You”, “Maria”, “On the Street Where You Live” and even the beautiful “They Were You” that I get to listen to every night), ‘The Next Ten Minutes” from The Last Five Years trumps them all for me. It's so beautifully written – hauntingly simple at first and then soaring during the duet section. I get chills just thinking about it. I sang it at a rehearsal dinner for some friends of mine who were getting married, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house – including mine.

My favorite Broadway love song is “All I Ask of You” because it’s really beautiful, and the women that sing it can sing really high and very beautifully and very lyrically and sometimes coloratura-lyrically.

I can’t think of a song that captures that thrill of first love better than “Shiksa Goddess” from The Last Five Years. Jason Robert Brown perfectly expresses the excitement of “waiting for someone like you.” Plus, as a nice Jewish boy who’s been with a blond goy for over 8 years, it has a special resonance.

My favorite Broadway love song is "With Every Breath I Take" from the musical City of Angels, it is just heart-breakingly beautiful. Written by Cy Coleman and David Zippel WHAT A PAIR!!!!!

"If I Loved You" from Carousel.

My favorite love song is "For Good" from Wicked. It speaks to a different kind of love- friendship. It's not just romantic love that's important in our lives. It's also our friends and family. Those types of love are also so fulfilling and beautiful. And being able to acknowledge that a relationship can grow starting from a really complicated place, but learning more about ourselves through the people we encounter is so beautiful.

"Being Alive" from COMPANY.

The song that is popping into my head is "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" but I also vote for "Losing My Mind" as best unrequited love song. Advice for those who find themselves without a valentine....Dont listen to "Losing My Mind"

I think my favorite Broadway love song is “If I Loved You” from Carousel. It is impossible for me to think of that song outside of the context of the bench scene, which I think is the most beautifully romantic scene in the entire repertory.

"Take Me for What I Am" from Rent. I just love that song. Like take me for who I am, you know what I'm talking about? It's just, I sing it out loud, it's great. Take me for what I am, I don't know, that's my song!

There were bells on the hill, but I never heard them ringing, No, I never heard them at all, "TILL THERE WAS YOU..."

My favourite Broadway love song is “Who Can I Turn To?” from “The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd” as performed by Anthony Newley who also Co-wrote the song with Leslie Bricusse. A beautiful melody - one you can hum! (Which I think is important) but It’s really the astonishing vocal performance of Tony Newley that does it for me. The unexpected key changes and such powerful high notes that just thrill me! A bravura performance of a wonderful song that deserves to be remembered.

"Always" A popular song written by Irving Berlin in 1925, as a wedding gift for his wife Ellin McKay, whom he married in 1926, and to whom he presented the substantial royalties. The song was supposed to be used for the Marx Brothers Broadway musical (later film) The Cocoanuts (1927) but was cut by Berlin during out-of-town tryouts. It is used as underscoring in the recent Broadway musical White Christmas...Most importantly it was the first song my wife (Meredith Patterson) and I danced to at our wedding. Happy Valentines Day Beautiful!!

My favorite Broadway love song is the "I Love You Song" from the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.

Alysha Umphress and Jeff Blumenkrantz's "You Are Never Away/Ten Minutes Ago”!

"Lover" from Fela! Also anything from AIDA- what a love story!

My favorite Broadway love song is “Somewhere" From West Side Story! It lets us all know that there is a perfect place out there where love abides and no matter who you are or where you come from., your race, culture, your socio-economic status, or your sexual orientation that place belongs to us all.
