"All The Things You Are" by Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein II from VERY WARM FOR MAY. When performed in the original stage version with a full chorus there is nothing more sublime. Now if you were to ask me the most "surprisingly charming" love song it would have to be "I Think I Got You Beat" from SHREK by Jeanine Tesori.

"Love to Me," Fabrizio to Clara from LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA.

"The Music That Makes Me Dance" from FUNNY GIRL. The song evokes childhood memories, Barbra's voice, gorgeous chords with a great crecendo towards the end.

"Too Many Mornings" from FOLLIES. The thought of a great lost love kills/is killing me even as I write this.

"Mea Culpa", cut from SWEENEY TODD. What's more romantic than an old man fantasizing about his adoptive daughter?

I'm sorry, that just made me throw up a little in my mouth.

Honestly though, it would be Cole Porter's "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" from RED, HOT AND BLUE. The phrase "how strange the change from major to minor" is so beautiful it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up every time.

"Make Our Garden Grow" from CANDIDE. It's not a romantic love song, it's not a starry-eyed love song. It's about the kind of love you earn. The kind you can trust. It's adult and hard-won, and yet ecstatic. With the most passionate, beautiful choral arrangement in the entire theatrical canon.

"My favorite Broadway love song is “Someone Like You” from the Broadway musical Jekyll & Hyde. I have performed the song on stage, and now in concerts around the world and it really resonates with me because it’s kind of the story of my life...the story of me and my wife, Hayley… "someone like you found someone like me."

"I've Never Been in Love Before" from GUYS AND DOLLS

For the most romantic Broadway song, my wife insists that I say "If Ever I Would Leave You", but if that is playing it too close to the vest, how about -- "If I Loved You" -- Both songs have great lyrics and great melodies.

There are so many! I think that Irving Berlin's "I Got Lost In His Arms" is one of my all-time favorites.

"If I Loved You" from CAROUSEL. It's just the best love song - I'm serious!

"Maybe This Time" from Cabaret.

I find Gershwin's music to be incredibly romantic. To me, his most passionate theater song is the 1935 PORGY AND BESS duet, "Bess, You Is My Woman Now," with lyrics by Dubose Heyward and Ira Gershwin. I have loved this score since I was a child -- it was ahead of its time in the '30s when it was written and in many ways it still is today.

That is a tough one. There are so many. I don't know if some of these were written for Broadway but, "Always", "I'll Be Seeing You", "So In Love" etc... are on the list and I'm sure there will be many who would include the same one I would if I were to do something typical. So, I don't know that this is the most romantic song ever written... but it's a newly discovered favorite of mine. Trying to avoid self promotion but... the song "I'll Buy You A Star" from A Tree Grows In Brooklyn is quite extraordinary.

The most romantic song to me is "Tonight" by Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein.

The most romantic Broadway love song, for me, is "I'll Be Seeing You" (Sammy Fain-Irving Kahal) from the 1938 short-lived musical RIGHT THIS WAY. Though it was written right before the war, it resonated profoundly for all the Allies during WWII as boys were sent across the Atlantic to fight for the liberation of most of Western Europe from under the yoke of Nazi Germany. Maybe I am mindful of this because we are now a country at war and families are being torn apart. Indeed, I hope I will be seeing all of our soldiers in Iraq home safe and soon. Love to you from GOLDA'S BALCONY at the Wadsworth Theatre (on the grounds of the Veteran's Administration) in Los Angeles...

"Soliloquy" from CAROUSEL. "My boy Bill..."

I was thinking, wistfully, about London the other day. I don't know why, and my iPod shuffle, which is uncannily in tune with my psyche, served up the perfect compliment to my mood: Vera Lynn singing "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square". The song premiered on the London stage in 1940's NEW FACES. It is an unabashedly romantic tale of two people falling in love in Mayfair. There may be more romantic songs out there, but the age of the recording, coupled with the simple imagery and the sound of Vera Lynn's pure soaring voice singing "I know 'cos I was there" - well it gets me every time.

I think Ravel's Bolero is very sexy music, boring, but sexy.

I have to say that my choice for most romantic song comes from the musical version of Faust. The song, "Feels Like Home", was how I first told my boyfriend I loved him. This may sound really sappy and dorky, but we were on the roof of my apartment building one night, and I just started singing it to him...because I was too chicken to just outright tell him how I felt! "A window breaks down a long dark street, and a siren wails in the night. But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me, and I can almost see through the dark, there's light. If you knew how much this moment means to me, and how long, I've waited for your touch. If you knew how happy you are making me, I never thought I'd love anyone so much."

I feel like I have a favorite love song from every Broadway show, but if I had to pick just one, I guess it would be "Last Night of the World" from MISS SAIGON. One of my favorite memories is of my high school voice teacher playing it for me and telling me how it was the PERFECT love song. He loved it so much, he filled a cassette tape with the song recorded over and over to fill the whole tape. I remember thinking it was kinda silly at the time, but that song really is so beautiful and the saxophone solo in the middle gets me every time!

"I Only Have Eyes For You". One of the best songs ever!!!

The first one that comes to my mind is "Love Song" from Pippin. I don't know how it holds up these days, but when I was in high school, that was my JAM.

"If I Loved You", from CAROUSEL, is written as a duet, and the drama of these two people denying what they are feeling is what makes it a great song. As a solo number it's just the loneliest thing you can imagine, and just as great. Runners-up: "Her Face", from CARNIVAL, "Never Will I Marry", from GREENWILLOW.

This is an easy one! It's my favorite song of all time It's BILL from SHOWBOAT...gets me every time. So simple and honest. The melody tugs at your heart and the lyric " I love him because he's ...I don't know. Because he's just my Bill." We don't know why we love who we love ...we just do (take that GEORGE BUSH)

"Maria" from WEST SIDE STORY

"I'll Be Loving You Always" by Irving Berlin, is my favorite romantic song. I actually sang it to my late husband, Ranald MacDougall, when I proposed to him.

I think the most romantic Broadway Love Song ever written is "Unworthy of Your Love" by Sondheim (ASSASSINS). This is a great song. I'm not sure how romantic it could be considered, but it proves that everyone has someone who loves them...

I'd have to say my favorite romantic Broadway song, off the top of my head, is 'Some Girls' from Once on This Island. It's a song of love and adoration that comes from the heart while the character is in the circumstance of the confines of tradition and class. 'Daniel' realizes/discovers his love for 'Ti Moune' in how different she is from other women and for being the unique and the simple person she is, meanwhile he is destined to marry someone of his own class that has been arranged since birth. I find it so romantic that in he can sing this love song to her at the same time acknowledging he will not be able to be with her.

"If I Loved You" -- hands down. Because it's like the dance you do before you admit how much you love someone.
