I hope I don't need RED BOX RULES to declare off topic some of you who obsessively twist any topic into political or religious issues.
Don't Cry For Me Argentina and Music of the Night are my two favorites. And it's a tie, I can't pick one over the other.
"Think of Me" from "Phantom of the Opera".
"Phantom" was really popular when I was in high school choir, so we covered a lot of those songs. "Masquerade" was quite the challenge.
Think of Me - yet another wonderful song:
Memory - Cats I've seen the play in both London and New York. Simply wonderful.
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables - Les Miserables
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables was not composed by Weber.
My parents took me to NYC when I was 15 or 16 years old where we saw The King and I and Guys and Dolls on Broadway, both with their original casts. When I was in London I didn't see any musicals but went to live theatre to see Sir Laurence Olivier in The Merchant of Venice and Sir Alec Guiness in Voyage Round my Father.
I Don't Know How To Love Him - Jesus Christ Superstar

A great song, John. This is a pretty good rendition:
same singer, Yvonne Elliman. Different video though.
Any song from Phantom. Just saw the Broadway production last year for the first time. I will someday actually see it on Broadway. NYC is on my bucket list. The entire show was fabulous. Sat in the first row right in front of the orchestra so we could look down and watch them play and the show. I want to see again, but this time on Broadway.
That's a lot of very good music. Thanks for the memories...
