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?
BroadwayWorld continues our great tradition of finding that consensus- and this year we have more answers than ever! We've gathered responses from over 1500 performers, composers, industry professionals, and entertainment personalities from all over the world.
Performer
The Lion King
“The Next Ten Minutes” from THE LAST FIVE YEARS by Jason Robert Brown.
Performer
Merrily We Roll Along | Into The Woods | Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson
"Sun and Moon" from Miss Saigon. It's so romantic and so starcrossed. It's just like one night they fall in love, if only.

Little Shop of Horrors
One of my favorite Broadway Love Songs is "Follow Your Heart" from Urinetown! It's such a beautiful melody and couple's harmony, and it's also touching and hilarious.
Performer
American Psycho | Rock of Ages
"Can't Fight this Feeling" from Rock of Ages. Its sentimental, loving, and hilarious all in one.
Industry
Bunny Bunny | 700 Sundays (Additional Material | Diamonds | Glinda Radner - Live From New York | Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me (Additional Material | Celebrity Autobiography
I would say it's a tie: "Do you Love Me?" from FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and "I Don't Know How To Love Him" from JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. Yes, an odd choice for someone whose been married 30 years and has three kids and two grandchildren but, what can I say, the song moves me... because well, he's a man. He's just a man. And, um, let's just say I like the song and leave it at that, okay?)
