Gail's Top Broadway Songs-- 1980+

These are just MY favorite songs. If I liked the entire Musical it has an accompanying asterisk.

1. LES MISERABLES*-- -- I Have seen a Broadway Touring Company and at Tuacahn Ampitheater (Amazing Regional Theater). Love it every time
Do You Hear the People Sing

One day More

On My Own

Finale

2. ANNIE*: As Always. A classic. Probably not pre-1980's, but so what.

Tomorrow

You're Never Fully Dressed

You Won't Be an Orphan for Long

3. CHESS-- I just can't get over the infidelity and egocentrism

I Know Him So Well

One Night in Bangkok

Some Things Are Meant to be

7. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA: Don't like it. Sacrilege, I know. I just don't. It's the Thelma & Louise issue-- don't try to make me sympathetic to reprehensibility.
