“Somewhere” from West Side Story. West Side Story has always been one of my favorite shows. The melodies and lyrics link up so perfectly with the emotional journey of the story. I did the show in college and maybe it was the time in my life or that particular moment onstage, but ever since, "Somewhere" has been one of those songs that sort of stops me in my tracks for a minute wherever I hear it. Beautiful.

Overall favorite Broadway love song is "Somewhere" from West Side Story. I love this song!

I decided to narrow it down to pure love songs which I am defining as two people together on stage where one or both are singing about their love. "Love Song" from Pippin, "People Will say We're In Love" from Oklahoma, "Till There Was You" from The Music Man, "Soon It's Gonna Rain" from The Fantasticks, and "Suddenly Seymour" from Little Shop of Horrors. And, if forced to choose, for capturing what I'm calling the "truth" about love, the feeling, with clever lyrics and a great melody I'd have to go with “People Will Say We're In Love” from Oklahoma. But it wasn't easy.

If we include Off-Broadway, "Times Like This" from Lucky Stiff. But I think my favorite one is "You Rule My World" from The Full Monty. I loved seeing that song on tour (and for auditions).

"I'll Cover You - Reprise" from Rent- hands down, now and forever. Close second: "Oldest Profession" from The Life.

I may be jumping the gun a bit but, "A Whole New World" from Aladdin is my favorite broadway love song. It reminds me of how I felt when I was first courting my wife.

My favorite Broadway love song is "Gee, Officer Krupke." It is the first song I learned. And really, what love affair is complete without social disease, cross dressing, and the request to Krup oneself?

My favorite Broadway love song is called "Somebody Older," which Debra Monk sang to me in Steel Pier when she was in love with me and I didn't think I was enough for her. So I broke away from her. And there's a beautiful, beautiful sensitive moment where someone says maybe you don't know what's best for you, I know what's best for you. And that will always be my favorite Broadway love song.

"Origin of Love" from Hedwig. So psyched to see Neil Patrick Harris kill it in Michael Mayer's production this spring.

"Changing My Major" from Fun Home and "What Is It About Her?" from Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party.

“Written in the Stars” from Aida. It's a song about how two people of opposite lives can deal with opposition and difficulties to remain together. It's also about destiny, fate, and love! Not to mention being locked in a box and chained together for eternity in a tomb!

It would have to be "Light My Candle" from Rent. You know, it's dark and it's seedy and it just happens, it seems, almost in an improvisational way. Two people meeting. One looking for a packet and the other one who's put up barriers to the world. And so, to me, that's probably, for my taste, the closest thing to a love song that I respond to.

I'll tell you what, I love "Follow Your Heart" from Urinetown. I just love that duet and that moment and that show. It's fantastic.

My favorite musical love song has always been and will forever be “Purlie” from Purlie. It was my first song from my days at American Musical and Drama Acadamy; and then, it became my first professional audition song. I got lots of callbacks with it too.

Anything in Once! It's beautiful, current, loveliness on stage.

"Love Song" from Pippin!

"Lover", from the show FELA! is my favorite Broadway love song! It asks the questions that people feel when they first meet someone and find themselves falling hard, like will you be here, will you be the one? The feeling of being head over heels in love, captivated, I know this feeling oh so well!

"Love Song" from Pippin!

"Somewhere." When I was growing up it was glued to the turntable. We played it endlessly, it really touches me. I've been with my wife for 37 years now and that song means a lot to me.

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

"If I Loved You" from Carousel.

"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!

"If Ever I Would Leave You" from Camelot.

"Hero and Leander" from Myths and Humns by Adam Guettel. I listened to "Hero and Leander" every day of my Freshman/Sophomore years at college and still love it 10-years later. I mean, come on!
