You know what I love? "In Whatever Time We Have" from Children of Eden. I just think that is the most beautiful duet ever. It makes me cry everytime I hear it. So I love that one.

"My White Knight" from The Music Man. I love the lyric "And I would like him to be more interested in me than he is in himself." It touches me because it's so generous.

When my wife Eliza and I were selecting wedding music, we must have rejected hundreds of songs, for being too dishonest and incomplete, too clichéd and schmaltzy; we wanted something that actually celebrated all the dirt and joy and annoyance and sublimeness of a longterm relationship. Sondheim's "Being Alive" does that in a way I don't think has ever been matched...it's my favorite song of his, and maybe my favorite song of all time. At the wedding Phillipa Soo sang it, squalling us and the whole church until we were one great sobbing emotional puddle.

"If I Loved You" from CAROUSEL

“What about Love” from The Color Purple. I’ll never forget the first time I saw this song onstage in the original musical and I sobbed my eyes out! Even just hearing it now I cry again!

My favorite Broadway love song has to be “Say it Somehow” from The Light in the Piazza. It’s the idea that love can and must surmount any barrier, articulated in such a poetic way and woven into a gorgeous melody that moves me every time.

It probably sounds a bit cynical, but "Being Alive" is my favorite. Its the truth of what it can mean to be in a relationship and to love someone.

It's "Move On" from Sunday in the Park with George. That song every time gives me goosebumps. It's beautiful and sad like life is.

"I Believe in You" from How to Succeed. It's a love song to yourseld and I think it's important to love yourself.

"I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face" from My Fair Lady.

"Elaborate Lives" from Aida. Even though they're dying in a tomb! It's such a beautiful song.

"I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face" from My Fair Lady. It's so wonderful to see how a stubborn angry man can learn to be moved, tender and humbled in the face of Love. Even though the word love is not mentioned once, we as the audience all know how much he loves this wild cat he taught to be a Lady! And in my mind he never wants to live without her from that day.

"All The Things You Are" from VERY WARM FOR MAY, by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II. For me, it's like the heavens are opening up when I hear that song. And it reminds me of how I feel about Danny.

"Not A Day Goes By" is an incredibly powerful poignant thing, you know, about someone that you love. But I also, it's the gamut with him, the joy that's in so many of Sondheim's songs that touch me.

I think that maybe the greatest standard, is "Lush Life" by Billy Strayhorn- a young, gay, black man who wrote it at 19, talking about the jadedness of the lush life. And that's almost post-love. It's after your heart's been shattered, but you're trying to put it back together.

My favorite Broadway Love Song is "One Hand, One Heart" from my favorite Broadway musical, WEST SIDE STORY. I recently sang it at my aunt's wedding - it's a beautiful, simple, love song.

My favorite Broadway love song is "Nice Work If You Can Get It," and it's because of those lyrics. It is my favorite love song because "nice work if you can get it."

“I've Got You Under My Skin”

It's always been "If I Loved You" from Carousel. I learned it in college and it's always stuck with me. The minute I sing it, it just sweeps me away.

My favorite Broadway love song is "I Don't Need Anything But You" from Annie, between Annie and Daddy Warbucks. It's the sweetest song and it's not a traditional love song, it's not romantic love. It's about a father figure, a new dad, and a little girl, and it's just so touching.

"Too Much In Love To Care" from Sunset Boulevard. It depicts the crisis of falling in love with the right person at the wrong time and how they defy all odds to pursue this love regardless. Truly passionate and romantic yet troubled, flawed and utterly human.

I really like "Tonight" in West Side Story. You know, the enegery when you first meet someone and the excitedness that you feel.

"If I Loved You" from Carousel

“Before and After You” from Bridges of Madison County. The melody line breaks and fills my entire heart all at once.

Today, for some reason, I keep thinking of "Without You" from Rent. Not the happiest of choices, yeah, but there's a version that Mary Chapin Carpenter did at Jon Larson's memorial, just her voice and her guitar, that makes me weep for its beauty. It's a rainy day, longing for someone, achy song that hurts so sweetly. And I've always had a soft spot for NEW WORDS by Maury Yeston. It's a parent singing to their child. Very simple and very difficult to define love. And the love in one's family, one's home, wherever you create it, is the deepest love of all. Ask me again tomorrow. I'll have a different answer.

"Unworthy of Your Love" from Assassins is my jam.

"What More Can I Say" from Falsettoland. There are so many that I love, off the top of my head I picked that one because it's not conventional...or corny.

"Send in the Clowns" from A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC.

"My Cup Runneth Over" from I Do, I Do. I think those lyrics really typify how couples in long relationships feel.

"If I Loved You." I love how they dance around the idea that it's a love song, but they're both denying that they're in love.
