I like quite a few musicals, but I don’t think I have a favorite song.
Unless, maybe, you include opera, in which case, maybe this duet from Carmen.
(Here is a clearer recording.)
If Bohemian Rhapsody was from a musical, that.
But alas, there is no such thing.
Maybe this Cats parody song
Yes, the musical could be either a stage play or movie, anything goes!
Some of my favorites include:
“Prima Donna” from Phantom of the Opera. Love it because it’s written like one of those confusing sextets of the bel canto era and further evidence that Phantom is one of the most opera-like musicals.
“Side by Side” from Company
“Cabaret” from Cabaret
“All that Jazz” from Chicago
“I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables
Hard to pick just one. :D
Frozen, Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway. haha!
Grease I and II.
I’ve seen many stage musicals that were lovely, but none stand out as favorites.
Defying Gravity from Wicked
The Trolley Song from Meet Me in St. Louis
A Puzzlement performed by Yul Brenner in the King And I. He was a smoking hot king, but that song fits not only the character very well, but I think most adults feel the same a few times through life. Yul’s staunch demeanor through the performance made it so memorable.
I Feel Pretty performed by Natalie Wood in West Side Story.
I like it because it is just so cheery.
Interesting coincidence, Rita Moreno was in both movies. She is amazing. I saw her on a talk show last year. She is still just spicy as ever.
Thanking you everybody peeps!

@ucme I was just kidding for once and everyone else took it seriously. Sigh.
I hope I at least got a giggle from you. :)
@KNOWITALL You got a wry smile, which, I think was enough :D
My wife loves the Grease movies, for the life of me I don’t know why XD
@ucme haha! They’re fun! I’d love to watch with your wife, that sounds so fun.
@KNOWITALL You’d have a whale of a time I’m sure.
Me, I’m off down the pub :D
